Chandler gave us the wedding of our dreams! From start to finish, their communication was exceptional, guiding us every step of the way. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous—many of our guests were amazed that they were in Missouri!
The staff is incredibly professional and clearly experienced in hosting weddings; they have it down to a science. We couldn't be more thankful to the team at Chandler for their support in planning and hosting our special day. Highly recommend!

I could not have asked for a more magical wedding day and it's all in thanks to Chandler Hill and their coordinators! They made the day of absolutely perfect, they set it all up, they made sure it all looked great. They were so easy and helpful to work with leading up to the big day. And all our guests RAVED about how delicious the food was. I have absolutely no complaints, this place is well worth the money. Not a single thing went wrong on my wedding day and I owe that to Brooke and Alyssa, my day of coordinators.

Everything about our wedding was absolutely perfect. The initial planning and meetings with Brooke were always fun and efficient. You can tell that Brooke really cares and listened to our wedding vision. She promptly responded to all our emails and was very organized in the planning process. Brooke really knows all the ins/outs of Chandler Hill as she got married at this venue as well. All of her recommendations were spot on! Unfortunately, she was not able to be our day of coordinator but she left us in excellent hands with Emily.
The wedding day went off without any problems. Chandler Hill is an absolutely beautiful venue and their management/staff are top notch! Emily and her team set up all of our wedding decorations (and there were a lot) and really brought our wedding vision to life. The communication throughout the night was excellent which allowed us to relax and really take in our special day. The wait staff and bartenders were on point! Our large wedding kept them busy but they were able to stay on top of drinks and everything. Definitely recommend getting the signature cocktail package, it was a crowd pleaser! We had so much fun and will never forget this perfect day. Chandler Hill and their staff are such a blessing. We highly recommend this venue for all your wedding needs. They are the complete package. Chandler Hill Vineyards will always have a special place in our hearts. Thanks again everyone! : )

Chandler Hill was a dream come true for our wedding vision. I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The food was incredible, wine was great, and the atmosphere is unmatched. Brooke & Emily went above and beyond the entire duration of planning and the big day. Emily checked in on us multiple times while getting ready in the bridal suite & Brooke lead the charge getting all of our decor set up. Another great thing about Chandler Hill is minimal decor is required, it’s naturally beautiful! The fireworks were worth every penny & it was great to step away after our first dance to enjoy the show. Our guest have continued to compliment chandler hill everyday since our wedding & we are so thankful for the entire chandler hill team. The bar service was excellent. I highly recommend this venue to any upcoming bride.

My husband and I recently had our ceremony and reception in June of 2024 at Chandler hill and I HIGHLY recommend getting married here. EVERYTHING was absolutely beautiful and perfect (minimal decorations needed the venue is that beautiful!). The day of the wedding went smoothly because of the help that Brooke, Allyssa, and Emily gave us. Every time I kept asking if I could help setting up while waiting to get ready Emily kept telling me not to worry that they would handle it, I greatly appreciated that. I can’t thank the staff enough for all their hard work and help setting up. It truly made a huge difference. The food was AMAZING, we chose the steak and chicken duo.
Post wedding day, all wedding our guest kept telling us how beautiful the venue is, how it was the best wedding they’ve attended. We cannot agree more!
Chandler hill is the complete package and perfect place to get married!

The team at Chandler Hill was incredible to work with and made our wedding day so perfect. If there were any concerns or hiccups in the day, I had no idea as the amazing team took care of them immediately. The group of wedding coordinators are with you to plan every step of the way and are around all weekend to assist in anything you need during your day. Also, my family lost a loved one right before my wedding and the team did an incredible job finding a way to honor them on my day, which is something I will remember forever. This venue has amazing views, food, location, and employees to ensure the most amazing wedding. Their getting ready space is also newly updated and perfect for both the bride and groom! Thank you so much Emily, Brooke and Alyssa for a day I will never forget 💕

We just got married a few days ago at CH, and despite the weather hitting the fan an hour before, it was absolutely perfect!!! honestly, the weather made it all the more dreamy and intimate. Brooke communicated that the ceremony would need to be moved inside, explained how it could be done seamlessly, and we were able to trust that it would be done without lifting a finger. it was so perfect, and by the reception the sun came back out and everyone was able to enjoy the deck with the beautiful views. Brooke is such a great communicator even when I had a million questions the week of. I am so thankful for her and all of the CH staff who were so kind and attentive!!

We had our wedding this week at Chandler Hill winery. Everything was well organized and we cannot express how appreciative we are for everything that Chandler Hill’s team did for us specially Brooke and Alyssa who were above and beyond helping us to find a new transportation for my family in less than 1 hr. You did an amazing job at putting our nerves at ease and taking care of everything that day. Thank you for being so absolutely awesome and for making that day so flawless.

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and a lot of that credit goes the team at Chandler Hill. Brooke was a better coordinator than I could have prayed for, and both she and Alyssa went absolutely above and beyond on the day of! All of my questions were answered in a timely fashion, the food was great, the wine is amazing, and the venue itself has such a true beauty about it! All of our vendors were sublime, but Chandler Hill Vineyards will always always hold such a special place in our hearts. We could not of asked for a better venue, and will never stop bragging about Brooke and Alyssa! Thank you all so much!

We honestly had no idea what we were doing, but Brooke helped us pull together a gorgeous wedding in such a short time. All of the staff at the venue were phenomenal and really allowed us to relax and enjoy our wedding. Our guests absolutely loved the food and the atmosphere.

Choosing Chandler Hill for our venue was such an easy decision because of how naturally beautiful the venue is, but the extra touches Chandler Hill provided like the vintage car, fireworks and champagne wall made the night so magical! Working with Brooke leading up to the wedding was such a great experience. She was also a Chandler Hill bride and knows exactly how to help on the big day and how to make the planning process smooth leading up to it. On my wedding day Alyssa and Brooke took care of everything behind the scenes, I was able to really relax and enjoy the day without worries which was so nice! Our transportation company cancelled on us a few hours before the ceremony and Brooke worked quickly to find a solution for us when the company offered none. I highly recommend this beautiful venue and working with Brooke to plan your dream day!

First thing, Chandler Hill is a gorgeous venue with minimal decorating required! Our wedding was in December and the ambiance of the candles and lighting was simply beautiful! The venue's day of coordinators, Brooke and Alyssa, were so amazing and helpful throughout the planning and execution of our wedding. Between the beautiful venue location and the wonderful staff Chandler Hill comes highly recommended!

Chandler Hill is great! Brooke and Alyssa were so, so accommodating for our wedding, and were incredibly helpful in planning everything and offering us options. The wine selection is great, the food options were good and varied, and both the inside and outside of the venue were absolutely gorgeous for the ceremony and reception.
Our wedding was perfect, everything we could have wanted! And we couldn't have done it without Alyssa and Brooke!

Our wedding was in July 2023, so it has been almost six months since, and we are still in awe of how special, joyful, and magical it all was - and a huge reason for that is the beautiful venue and amazing staff. Brooke was so helpful, attentive, and calming during the wedding planning process. She was more than willing to work with us on a few special requests we had, and she helped walk me through everything I couldn't decide on. She does a great job at communicating with vendors and the photographer so that on the day of, it all goes smoothly and she is in the background taking care of all the little details every step of the way, so we could really be present with our guests. Our family and friends still are telling us how perfect our wedding day was, from the golden hour on the deck with the beautiful rolling hills, to the gorgeous interior of the building with a delicious dinner. The flow from inside with the bar to outside with the dancing was so fun as well. The location was the perfect retreat from St. Louis without being too far out. We love that we can continue to visit as well in the future for a nice lunch and wine. It makes it all the more special as opposed to other venues that are purely just for events. We cannot recommend Chandler Hill enough to any couples looking!

We just got married on September 16th at Chandler Hill. It was truly incredible. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The coordinators, Brooke and Alyssa, were the most kind, patient encouraging ladies. Through out the planning process, all our questions were answered in detail and with quick responses. We had a ton of decorations and they set up everything for us and it looked amazing! The food was so amazing as well. We have had so many people tell us our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to. We also surprised the guest with fireworks and that was one of the highlights of the evening. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Chandler Hill.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Chandler Hill in September 2023, and how do I even begin to describe how magical the whole experience was?? First and foremost, Brooke is nothing short of AMAZING! Her communication skills, organization, timeliness, attention to detail, fun “can-do” attitude, and never-ending support and guidance are beyond compare. There were a few details about our wedding that we were worried about but she was always available to answer our questions and provide a sense of ease, which was much appreciated especially in the 2 weeks leading up to the wedding. As we got closer to the big day, we also had the pleasure of working with Alyssa, who is so fun and so easy work with, and both her and Brooke ensured that the day went without a hitch and we were so happy to have celebrated our wedding at Chandler Hill!
In addition to the amazing people we got to work with, the venue is literally breathtaking. The bridal suite and grooms room were perfect for not only getting ready in but for photos as well. We were able to have our first look in the vineyard and everywhere we roamed in the property was picture perfect, and our photographers could not agree more. The food is mouth watering and the bartenders ensured each and every drink was perfect for every single one of our guests.
Many of our family members and friends keep raving about our wedding and how perfect it was, and we cannot agree more.
Chandler Hill is the complete wedding package and my husband and I are already planning our next visit to Chandler Hill, whether that be for brunch, goat yoga, a winery day, or even dinner! We can’t wait!

We had our wedding at Chandler Hill in June 2023. From the start of the planning, the staff at Chandler Hill had been nothing but stellar. Brooke and her team turned our wedding vision into a beautiful, perfect day. Every detail was handled with such care with each step in the wedding process. The food was top notch, the bridal suite and grooms room was perfect for our bridal party. Brooke made sure we were all fed during the day and made sure we had everything. We truly felt like family with the Chandler Hill wedding team. Even a month later, we are still having guests reach out to us saying how it was such an incredible wedding day and everything was perfect. We truly could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding.

Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true, and it wouldn't have been possible without Chandler Hill and the coordinator, Brooke, we had the pleasure of working with. From the moment we began our planning journey, they provided unparalleled support, guidance, and expertise, ensuring that every detail was meticulously executed to perfection.
First and foremost, the wedding venue itself is a stunning masterpiece. Nestled in a picturesque location, it exuded charm and elegance from every corner. The architecture, lush surroundings, and breathtaking views created a magical atmosphere that left our guests in awe. It was the perfect backdrop for our celebration, and we knew we had made the right choice the moment we set foot on the premises.
The venue's coordinator, Brooke, was an absolute superstar. From our initial consultation to the very last moment of our wedding day, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. She took the time to truly understand our vision and preferences, working tirelessly to bring our dreams to life. Her experience and expertise were evident as they flawlessly managed every aspect of the planning process.
Communication with the coordinator was seamless throughout. She was always available to answer our questions, offer valuable insights, and provide timely updates. She kept us informed every step of the way, alleviating any concerns we had and ensuring that we felt confident and at ease as our big day approached. Her prompt and thorough responses showcased her commitment to exceptional customer service.
On our wedding day, the coordinator truly shined. She expertly managed all the logistics, coordinating with vendors, overseeing the setup, and ensuring that everything ran smoothly and on schedule. Her calm and composed demeanor helped alleviate any stress we might have had, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy and celebration of the day.
Her attention to detail was remarkable. Every element, from the ceremony space to the reception area, was flawlessly arranged. The decorations, lighting, and ambiance perfectly captured the essence of our vision, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Our guests were blown away by the beauty and elegance of the venue, and we received countless compliments on the impeccable organization and flow of the event.
In conclusion, we cannot recommend Chandler Hill and Brooke enough. Together, they made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. The venue's beauty, coupled with the coordinator's exceptional skills and dedication, ensured that every moment was filled with joy, love, and pure magic. If you are searching for a venue and coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your wedding dreams come true, look no further.
Thank you to the entire team at Chandler Hill and Brooke for creating memories that will be cherished forever!

I truly don’t have adequate words to describe how incredible it was to have our wedding at Chandler Hill! I wish I could give them 1000 stars, 5 stars just isn’t enough! Top to bottom, everything was an absolute dream come true. First, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. I wanted a venue that required minimal decorations (aside from a few personalizations) and this was perfect- the interior and exterior are stunning, and speak for themselves. Multiple guests told me how beautiful the venue was. It was wonderful being able to have an outdoor ceremony, an indoor dinner, and dancing under the stars. But beyond just the beautiful venue, the true shining factor about CHV is the AMAZING staff. Brooke, Sophie, Jess, and the entire team are the utmost professionals. During planning they are incredible responsive, generous with their time, receptive to any and all ideas and input, and immensely helpful and knowledgeable- all of which put me at ease during the lead up to the wedding, which is priceless! On the big day- Brooke and Sophie were absolute angels. They guided us through from start to finish, and helped with everything from arranging all of the personalizations and details in the reception, to checking in with me throughout the day, and being all around friendly, supportive, easy going yet thorough throughout the process. Trusting the CHV team fully on my wedding day allowed me to soak in all the moments and not stress- which was priceless! I truly could not have imagined a better venue and staff to have my wedding! CHV truly exceeded my wildest dreams and expectations. I cannot recommend Chandler Hill Vineyards highly enough!! Thank you Brooke, Sophie, Jess, and the entire CHV staff from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day a true dream come true!

Chandler Hill was great to work with from the day we went and toured the venue. When the wedding coordinator left about a month after we signed our contract I was very nervous that a new person would not do as good of a job or not be as experienced. BUT Brooke was absolutely amazing and made the planning process so easy as well as made some changes/upgrades that were needed. She had very open communication with us throughout the whole 12 months of planning and was very professional, yet fun at all of our meetings with her.
The team was very flexible and let us decide on an indoor vs outdoor ceremony the day of when it turned out to be colder than expected. There were a few little obstacles on the day of (bar service, late night food being brought out late), but these issues were quickly addressed and fixed when we talked to someone about them. The fireworks were also a hit and very reasonably priced compared to other venues. We heard great things about the food all night long and being able to pick 6 different wines to have at our wedding was also great.
Our pictures turned out beautiful even though we ended up going with an indoor ceremony. I was amazed at how quickly the staff flipped the room from ceremony to reception space.
It was an amazing day thanks to the staff and especially Brooke!!!

The facilities and setting was perfect for my daughters wedding. Brooke took a lot of stress off of her and handled everything exceptionally. The staff during the event were also great. I’m rating a 4 because after the wedding I realized the liquor pricing was a little deceptive. We upgraded to the middle liquor package. During the reception the upgraded liquors may have been at the bar, but they were not prominently displayed. If you do not request the specific upgraded liquor the standard product was served. I feel like I was scammed paying for the upgraded package.

Chandler Hill was a phenomenal venue to work with. We walked in for a tour and were handed champagne and treated like family the minute we walked in, which was something I didn’t feel with any other venue.
Brooke, our coordinator, was so sweet and helpful, and was accessible throughout the entire process. She and her team really made me feel so at ease through everything and completely ensured my day went by without a hitch, even attempting to find me a videographer when mine cancelled last minute. I truly would recommend Chandler Hill a hundred times over, not just for your wedding, but to stop in for dinner too :)

Chandler Hill was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. Brooke took over mid wedding planning for Chandler Hill, and she truly exceeded all expectations. When we got the news that the current coordinator was leaving, we were a little nervous, not knowing what to expect. But when we first met with Brooke, we knew we were going to be in good hands for our special day. She was beyond organized, accommodating, and so fun to work with. The entire Chandler Hill staff was fantastic. From the set up, tear down, planning, and everything in between, they truly made it one of the best days that we will forever cherish.

We were absolutely in love with our ceremony and reception at Chandler Hill Vineyards! The beautiful scenery and ability to have indoor/outdoor space made choosing Chandler Hill as our venue an easy choice. Our outdoor golden hour ceremony was incredibly memorable, and our first dance with a firework ending was pure magic!

We got so many compliments on the venue during our reception. Chandler Hill is absolutely gorgeous, and Brooke is literally Wonder Woman! She took over our wedding when the previous coordinator we were working with left, and she has been an absolute delight to work with. Brooke kept us updated and made sure all the details were right. She brought us bagels and mimosas while we were getting ready, and was waiting for us with 2 glasses of champagne after our ceremony. She even made sure to make a small plate of appetizers for my husband and I while we waited for everyone to get settled before our grand entrance. And the food was fantastic! Incredibly delicious, everyone loved the food. I highly recommend Chandler Hill for any wedding, and Brooke will definitely be your hero throughout the entire experience!

Our wedding was 11/4/2022 and it truly was an amazing experience. Everything went so smooth and Brooke was a mind reader, anticipating and fulfilling all of our needs. The space was perfect for our 130 guest count with plenty of room to move around. The bartenders were incredible, the serving staff was communicative and mindful, especially at the end when it was time to clean up as to not make our guests feel they were being pushed out. When it began to rain they quickly turned the inside into the dance floor for the last hour of our event. I truly cannot speak highly enough!

Where to even begin...our entire experience with Chandler Hill was amazing. The venue itself is spectacular, the food is delicious and the accommodations are next to none. The planning process was easy, thorough and timely. The staff (especially Brooke!) was kind, attentive and made us feel so special on our day. Brooke was absolutely a dream to work with. She was organized, accommodating to every request, and is just truly a gem. You can tell she loves her job, and that extends to the entire Chandler Hill family. They executed our vision impeccably and impressively. I can't begin to thank them enough for all that they contributed. Our family is so grateful.

We had a great experience at Chandler Hill. The venue and surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Communication was great and the staff were really professional. My groomsmen got ready in the Barrel Room which was nice and cool on an 80+ degree day. The champagne wall was a great addition for our guests. We also really liked taking photos in front of the old vintage Ford car. Our guests continue to talk about how beautiful the venue was and how perfect the day felt. We had a few vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan guests and they all said the food was great. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable. Brooke and Megan helped us out tremendously. We really enjoyed having the dance floor outside where the views could be enjoyed. Our day went smoothly and was truly perfect! Overall, CHV was amazing and we would recommend it to anyone as a perfect spot to get married. Thanks so much!

I had always thought Chandler Hill would be a gorgeous venue for a wedding and I am SO glad we chose it for ours. We received so many compliments - the views, the food, the facility - our guests absolutely raved about our wedding. What made it even better to me was the staff. The event manager, Brooke, and her assistant Vanessa went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and to our liking. The food and bar staff were also noticeably friendly and attentive. Overall we felt very taken care of. Areas they could improve on in my opinion would be the food provided during getting ready - we ended up needing to purchase more food in the late afternoon - and it would've been nice if the guys had a bigger space to hang out. Pretty minor details in the grand scheme of things, so all in all, I'd highly recommend this venue! Your guests will be impressed and your pictures will be gorgeous!

We were married on September 17th 2022 and cannot say enough amazing things about Chandler Hill. Brooke- the event manager- was spectacular. She helped us feel comfortable asking for exactly what we wanted and made it happen. The views are incredible, the food was raved about, and impeccable service by all staff on top of it all. They were attentive and kept every single guest happy. I would not change a single thing about our day- unless it was to replay it every weekend. A day we will never forget.

We are so happy we chose Chandler Hill for our wedding venue. Not only is it a beautiful place to get married, the wedding coordinator Brooke was an absolute JOY. Brooke is kind, communicative and organized and she brought our wedding vision to life! She is truly everything you could want in a wedding coordinator. My husband and I wanted to incorporate a few unique aspects into our day and Brooke made it happen. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the other staff members as they were exceptional, too. Our guests were well taken care of, well fed and never had to wait in a drink line! Thank you CHV, we loved working with you.

The venue was absolutely beautiful, and the staff were wonderful, especially our bartender and the coordinators. There was a change in event staff during my planning time, and once the new coordinator, Brooke, was hired communication was great. I'm sure she will continue to do a great job at Chandler Hill. Despite the August heat, our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was , and they loved the surprise fireworks! We can't wait to go back and visit everyone!

Chandler Hill was a beautiful venue. I knew when I pulled up to it for the first time that it was the perfect spot for the wedding. However, there are a few reasons why I’m not giving it 5 stars.
First is the lack of communication leading up to the wedding day which was incredibly frustrating. I found out on my wedding day that there were changes in wedding management occurring and my wedding was actually the coordinator’s last one, which made sense for the lack of communication and even lack of presence on the day of. She introduced me to her backfill but even she was nonexistent on the wedding day. At times I would end up sending 3-4 emails before our wedding before I got a response which was surprising as the time leading up to signing the contract, she was super responsive. I even had to reach out to her to ask if we still were having the 6 month out meeting, as well as whether we were invited to the food tasting because she never reached out to me to schedule herself. In addition, we were upsold from the venue coordinator on getting the lunch sandwich platters for the wedding party the day of so we told everyone not to eat and that we bought lunch for the group. What we ended up getting were these small, biscuit sized rolls that didn’t even feed a small portion of the party so everyone was starving and annoyed. The venue coordinator was also nowhere to be found that afternoon so people in the wedding party went directly into the kitchen to ask if they could buy more food, of which they were not expecting to spend money on.
On the topic of food, this venue actually upcharges, on top of the already astronomical food prices, for having two meat options for guests to choose from for dinner vs only having one. With dietary restrictions and food preferences, they really should get rid of that practice as it felt like a hidden way to get more money out of us.
Overall, while the venue is gorgeous, for the cost that Chandler Hill charges for their venue and food, I would’ve hoped for a 5 star experience but it didn’t quite meet that mark when I felt like just another number after signing the contract.

Chandler Hill Vineyards was the perfect venue. Not only does it have spectacular vineyard views and a beautiful inside dining room, but the event staff is fantastic. Meghan and Ally took great care of us, helping with decoration set up and making sure everyone knew where to be and when. As the bride, I did not have to worry about anything because I could trust everything was being taken care of. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Food and wine are great too!

We had the most incredible experience with Chandler Hill Vineyards as our rehearsal dinner and wedding venue space! It was truly a wedding dream come true! Megan, Ally, and their team worked incredibly hard to make our wedding events come to life and executed them beautifully! They made planning a destination wedding through a pandemic a breeze. All of the special touches through the day elevated our experience and surpassed our expectations. The rehearsal dinner in the barrel room was gorgeous and the bbq buffet was incredible. The bridal and groomsmen suites were comfortable and stocked with food and drinks, a perfect space to get ready and take photos. The champagne wall and classic getaway car were elegant touches to our ceremony and reception. Everything looked gorgeous and the food was delicious. Our wedding vision was elevated with the fireworks that wowed all of our guests. We received so many compliments! Chandler Hill’s amazing staff allowed us to feel relaxed and comfortable so we could focus on the most important element of the day, our love and sharing it with our loved ones. Our vision was very much focused on a feeling of love and fun and Chandler Hill was the perfect venue to make that feeling come to life. We are so grateful that we were able to make memories that will last forever.

Our wedding was the most perfect day we could’ve ask for, and that was all thanks to the team at Chandler Hill! Our coordinators Megan and Ally were so responsive and helpful through the whole planning process and made our day stress free! The venue alone was so beautiful, but the food, wine, and experiences were equally as amazing! The champagne wall and s’mores bar that we got through the venue were also a HUGE hit! I can’t even count how many compliments we received on how perfect everything turned out!

The Venue was beautiful, the staff was great and the wedding coordinators were so easy to work with. I wanted someplace that had great views and a little rustic. This place was everything we could ask for. They are professional and easy to work with because they know what they are doing and how to make this one of the best days for the Bride and Groom along with the wedding party. Thank you so much for everything.

My wedding day at Chandler Hill was an ABSOLUTE dream come true! I have always wanted to get married at a vineyard and I may be biased, but CHV is the nicest winery in Defiance! The staff went above and beyond to make my vision come to life. Megan, their wedding coordinator, is the best there is! And the food, oh my was delicious! What I was most worried about was people leaving the vineyard by 5 before my wedding guests got there at 5:30 and for the staff to have enough time to flip the venue into my dream ceremony/reception space. I am not sure how they did it, but everyone left by 5 and they were able to flip everything in 30 minutes. My dad would be the first to tell you that he didn't think it was going to happen because he was watching the whole time, but they did it and he was amazed. So do not worry about that! I was also worried about getting my pictures taken before the ceremony. At first, I did not want my fiancé to see me before the ceremony, but I was glad we did because the first look was honestly one of my favorite moments of the day. My third and last worry was getting our pictures done while CHV guests were there and honestly it was fun! Everyone is congratulating you and honking. You can't stop smiling! :) Anyway, you will not be disappointed in making CHV your wedding venue. Like I said before, it was a dream come true and a day that I will never stop being on cloud 9 for.

The team at Chandler Hill Vineyards is such an incredible team! They are there every step of the way to give you guidance and suggestions to plan your wedding. And night of, their wedding planners will do anything within their power to make it such an amazing day.
The venue is gorgeous without much additional decorations and has the capability of hosting a large wedding. It truly feels like something out of a fairytale!
Megan and Lindsey went above and beyond to help plan my husband and I's perfect wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and team to help us make our dream day come true!!

Chandler Hill Vineyards was the most perfect venue for our wedding. We wanted something close enough for people to drive to still while having the rolling hills nearby of Defiance’s wine country. The venue is the most perfect mixture of classy elegance meets rustic winery. We got married December 5, 2020 (covid bride) and they did everything possible to help us have a safe and amazing wedding day still. The venue itself is GORGEOUS. The vineyards are perfect to take photos in, the oversized deck is another beautiful spot for photos too. We decided to get married inside in front of the fireplace and it was stunning. It was the most romantic setting for a winter wedding. Chandler Hill’s wedding planner, Megan, helped us SO much from start to finish. She was amazing and answered all of my questions and helped with every detail to make our day perfect. All of the food and drinks were fantastic too! I can’t say enough good things about Chandler Hill Vineyards, Megan and the rest of the staff.

Chandler Hill was an amazing venue. It was so beautiful, with the outdoor ceremony on the deck. Pictures and first look in the vineyards were just beautiful. The staff here (Megan the wedding coordinator especially) was fantastic in helping us plan a wedding and then reschedule it due to COVID. Several of our guests commented on the food, saying it was some of the best wedding food they had had! There are bride a groom suites upstairs for some privacy throughout the day, and where the wedding party can put their belongings. Before the wedding, they had a tasting even where we got to see how the venue would be set up for a wedding and had a florist there who had made centerpieces so you could see some examples and get inspiration. The wedding coordinator, Megan, walked us through the whole day and made sure the ceremony went off without a hitch. Had it been raining, we would have done the ceremony inside by the fireplace and I know this would have been beautiful too. We felt like we had plenty of time for a first look and photos before, so we could fully enjoy the reception. We also did the Champaign wall - which was a huge hit.

Chandler Hill is not only a gorgeous venue, but the Staff and wedding planner, Megan, was amazing! The venue itself is to die for! The view from the patio was absolutely amazing. The staff was super easy to work with. Great communication, and Megan helped coordinate and take care of setup. COVID was a very stressful time to have a wedding, but the venue itself is so spacious and allowed plenty of room to social distance. I had the most perfect wedding and am so glad we booked Chandler Hill for the ceremony and reception.

COVID Bride: Working with Megan and CHV was the most incredible experience during this uncertain time. There was an insane amount of unknowns, but Megan worked incredibly hard to make sure our dream would happen as best as possible! She even let us use her old decorations (yes, she got married here so she definitely knows the way to do things), so I barely had to do anything!

We had our wedding 6/13/20 (I believe the first wedding since the pandemic crisis) We were really nervous about having our dream wedding during this time and wasn’t sure we could have everything we dreamed of.... BUT Megan and the Chandler Hill owners/staff/etc made it happen! Everything was absolutely perfect and they made it feel like a normal wedding. The staff wore masks and everyone was comfortable. Food was exceptionally amazing! It is such a beautiful venue and the best part is you have Megan as your coordinator who is priceless! Highly recommend

I'm not even sure where to begin with how truly incredible my experience with Chandler Hill has been. My husband and I got married this past Saturday, 6/20/20 (amidst the pandemic). Throughout all the wedding planning changes, Megan, the wedding coordinator, was right alongside us with grace and understanding, honestly NOTHING was too much or too big for her to handle. She kept us level headed, responding to every question, text, email, and always supporting and loving us. I feel like I have a lifelong friend and someone who will always be in my corner in Megan. The day ran so smoothly and the entire staff at Chandler Hill blew us away throughout our entire year of planning! I cannot recommend them enough, even if you are getting married during these crazy times :)

We were at Chandler Hill for both the ceremony and reception and it could not have gone better. The event coordinator, Megan, outlined every minute of the day so we stayed on schedule. They also set up our decorations so we could relax before the ceremony. As the bride I was able to just enjoy the day and not worry about anything! Beautiful venue and delicious food and drink. DOG FRIENDLY!! We had our two pups there and they were able to roam and follow us around for pictures. The rooms upstairs for the wedding party to get ready were also great for pre-wedding pictures and spacious. We had to move our date back due to COVID but that went smoothly and the only restrictions we had were placing tables 6 ft apart and the staff wore masks. But honestly it felt like a normal wedding. The 100 guests that came were obviously comfortable gathering and no one had to wear masks or maintain social distancing during the event. Megan offered to establish smaller tables for guests who did not want to sit with people from outside their household, but that wasn’t an issues for our guests. It was a great time and everyone is still happy and healthy. Highly recommend for an indoor or outdoor wedding!
