    When we were choosing our wedding venue, we weren't sure we would ever find something that fit our vision. We wanted something intimate, laid back, with a ceremony focused on love. Up until we found Brenda and Pete, we thought that we would have to settle for a venue that felt disingenuous to us, with a ceremony that didn't reflect our values. When we discovered Terrapin Hill through a Google search, we knew we had to reach out. Scheduling a tour with Brenda was so easy, and she made us feel so at-ease with our decision. Once paperwork was complete, Brenda and Pete made the planning process SO easy, and we couldn't have been more grateful to them for all their guidance and help leading up to the day of. While communicating with Brenda, she even agreed to let both my mother and my mother-in-law into the venue half an hour early to set up decorations. We were married on May 15, 2025 at the Chapel, surrounded by our closest family and friends. Pete assisted us from the start to the end of the day, and was always nearby just in case. We were pleasantly surprised when Pete pulled up in his classic car and offered for it to be part of our ceremony, too! He drove my father and I up to our ceremony location, and then drove myself, my husband, and our photographer to our private vow location afterwards. Everything was absolutely stunning, and he helped the day run extra smoothly! We chose Terrapin Hill Farm based on the beauty of their location, the core values they reflect, their ceremony style, and the different packages they offer. Their excellent customer service and communication is just the cherry on top! We are so thankful to both Pete and Brenda for sharing their space with us, making us feel at-home, and giving us the perfect day to celebrate our love. We recommend Terrapin Hill Farm to any couples who are searching for their dream venue!

    An incredible weekend at the most gorgeous venue!! The ceremony spot was beautiful, with panoramic views of the Kentucky landscape. The reception area in the pavilion was perfect and big enough for all the tables, dance floor, and stage for live entertainment! We absolutely LOVED being able to stay on sight in the farm house and cottages the day before and night of- relieved so much stress of not having to drive around the day of. Brenda and Pete were great hosts, and offered just about anything we could need! There’s so much more I could say. 1000/10 would recommend working with them, and having your special day at this special spot!

    From the moment we first contacted Terrapin Hill Farm, we were impressed by the personal, attentive, and thoughtful communication from Brenda and Pete. Their rustic, charming, and awe-inspiring venue created a magical setting for our wedding day. Brenda went above and beyond to organize everyone and make the day breeze by, while Pete was so on top of his duties as officiant, chauffeur, hay ride conductor, and bonfire master. It truly felt like we were being supported by friends and family every step of the way, and the weekend was more beautiful than we ever dreamed. You absolutely will not regret using terrapin as your wedding venue!

    Terrapin Hill Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication was always prompt and easy, with text messages working well for us throughout the planning process. The venue itself offered plenty of space and a beautiful natural setting that made for an unforgettable celebration. The staff was incredibly helpful, assisting with set-up and even having Pete officiate our ceremony. They went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly, and we were thrilled with the wonderful experience we had at Terrapin Hill Farm.
