Whippoorwill Hill helped to make our wedding day one of the best days ofmour lives! From initial contact to the day of, they did everything they could to make our day perfect! We primarily spoke with Anne and had the best experience. We scheduled a tour, went to one of the open houses to set up our tables and make sure they looked how we wanted them to, we reached out SO many times via text and email and she was prompt and quickly got us the answered we needed. We also had some of the team assigned to help on our wedding day and I know that our day of coordinator was so thankful for that! We truly had the best experience and we are so thankful that we chose to have one of the best days of our lives at Whippoorwill Hill!

My husband and I are so happy that we decided to use Harris Glen as our venue! The venue itself is beautiful and everything we wanted. The site is covered in flowers and foliage and give off a very "European" feel. The bridal suite is cute and quaint and was perfect for "getting ready pictures". Elizabeth was very communicative and tried very hard to accommodate the vision that we had. I wanted the ceremony in a wooded area that Liz had not planned on using as a ceremony site, but she made it happen and it was beautiful and everything we wanted. Liz allowed us to come visit the venue several times prior to our wedding day to ensure we were comfortable and happy with the way our wedding day would go. The venue provides a "month of" wedding coordinator that is included in the price of the venue. The coordinator Tonya is awesome! When we met with her for the first time she swept our worries and anxieties away. Tonya and Elizabeth worked very hard to ensure a wonderful and perfect day. I appreciate them so much and our wedding day couldn't have been more beautiful.

My now Fiance and I booked Avon Gardens a year before we even got engaged. We fell in love with the Gardens, so we wanted to make sure we secured a spot! The staff has been so helpful and easy to work with. You can see the love they put into the venue. I finding especially helpful with the add ons they provide with decor. It’s saving us a lot of stress and storage being able to choose our centerpieces and ceremony decor from their collection. I can’t wait to see the big day come together and I couldn’t recommend this place more!
