“My sister was married here a few weeks ago. Venue, service, food and attention to detail was over the top! Kelly made everything so easy and seamless from the beginning to the end. You could tell she has been doing this for a long time and made so many helpful suggestions during the planning process that we would have never thought of. The included decorations and photo booth were awesome. Kelly was there keeping everything on my sisters timeline on time from the ceremony to cake cutting and dismissed all the tables at dinner. The staff even helped keep their dessert table full even though we brought our own desserts and thought that I was going to be in charge of keeping it full- More dancing time for me!! My sister and her new husband loved every minute of their time at the Barn. Thank You Kelly and staff for an amazing day for my sister and our wedding party who all got to enjoy the day and didn't have to do much but celebrate the bride and groom!”

“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.”
