“My partner and I wanted an experience that wouldn’t be overwhelming for us or our guests and the owners really hit the mark. From the start, they were communicative and professional. They made the process easy and although we didn’t need have a huge group of guests or an intricate setup they let us know the venue had endless possibilities for setup on our day. And on the day of, after our small ceremony, the atmosphere was perfect for our friends and family to relax and everyone was obsessed with the animals! They’re adorable and if you want that “farm” wedding vibe, but you’re more of a city person they’re perfect because they’re not intimidating at all. Would highly recommend, and having family scattered throughout Virginia, Happy Hollow Farms will 100% be on the list for locations to host our next big family reunion.”
