The Legacy Hill Farm Story

We started this venue because we love bringing people together. We love family. We love to create inviting spaces where people can relax, make memories, and enjoy one another. We love having a place where people slow down enough to look one another in the eyes, have meaningful conversations, and soak in quality time together. We love the significance and beauty of two people choosing to do life together — surrounded by the people who care about them the most. That is why we love weddings. That is why we do what we do.

Legacy Hill Farm has happily hosted over 600 weddings and served over 120,000 guests since 2015. Long before that, it’s been home to our family, but we knew there was something more for this special farm of ours. It needed to be shared. So with a vision and the help of our kids, we transformed our quiet, peaceful corner of the world into a place where you and your guests could come together, raise a glass, and celebrate.

Now, brides and grooms, family members, friends, and guests from all over the country come to Legacy Hill Farm for weddings.

If you're considering Legacy Hill Farm for your wedding venue, we want you to know this: We are here to serve you. We will help you have a grand and unforgettable event. It’s a deep honor to be trusted with your most memorable moments in life, and we hold that with great care. If you have any questions, please reach out. We'd love to talk to you.

From our family to yours,

Welcome to Legacy Hill Farm

We’ve created an environment that is warm and welcoming. A place where you are completely comfortable. A place you never want to leave. It took a lot more work than we thought it would take to change our family farm into Legacy Hill Farm, but if we knew what we know now — we would do it all over again. Watch our feature film to see the full transformation and the unique experience you can have at Legacy Hill Farm.

With Legacy In Mind

Legacy Hill Farm is a place built for presence.

For vows spoken under open skies.
For joy that moves like a breeze through tall grass in an open field.
For moments that don’t rush.
For people to be welcomed and breathe a little lighter.

We believe love is honored with natural beauty. That hospitality means making space for people to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. That ease is the most elegant kind of luxury.

We believe spaces matter. That intentional spaces have a “thingness” to them that can’t be replicated. We seek unique, because there’s enough of the other.

We serve with care and welcome with warmth. We are inspired by those we serve. And we believe that when land is tended with care, it remembers.

We believe that love leaves something behind. And that this place, this hill, holds more than just weddings. It holds hundreds of love stories.
