Awarded Best of Zola
Berry Acres was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, thorough, and thoughtful. When my fiance had to leave to help with hurricane relief in Florida, the team at Berry Acres worked closely with us to ensure our wedding day would still happen when he returned. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond was truly remarkable. The venue itself was beautiful, romantic, and perfectly clean - the ideal setting for our special day. I'm so grateful we chose Berry Acres and would recommend them to any couple looking for a stress-free, high-quality wedding experience.

From the very first time we stepped foot inside Hermann Hill, we knew it was going to be special. Becki gave us a tour and all we could think about was how beautiful it was. When we walked outside and the groom saw the river bluff, it was a done deal and he said we had to get married there. Roxanne became our wedding coordinator and to say she was truly amazing is an understatement. She kept us in the loop, kept our heads above water when it felt like there was so much to do, and continued to keep us excited throughout the entire planning process. The day of the wedding, Roxanne was so upbeat and fun and did amazing with the set up. She truly was a treasure. We will never be able to thank the amazing work everyone did, from Roxanne, to the amazing chef, and to all the staff that we didn’t get to meet. All of you made our wedding day PERFECT. From the bride and groom, we thank everyone at Hermann Hill from the bottom of our hearts.
