Our experience at Chapman Hill was TOP NOTCH! Don and Susan are incredible! They truly make you feel important and a part of their family. They are responsive with any and every question you may have and make sure that your day goes off without a hitch. Their staff is also amazing. They make sure to have the best of the best and have a list of preferred vendors that are amazing as well. The venue and spaces were very well done and kept. If you’re looking a bridal and grooms suite, this is the best one I’ve seen out of all the weddings I’ve been in! The best way to describe it is that it truly feels like a real home. Overall… the venue is beautiful, pricing is amazing, staff is top notch, and the owners make you feel like a part of the family!

First off...The venue itself is very nice. We feel it was very high priced and that their "$1000 off" promotion was ridiculous, taking the venue itself from $6495 down to $5495...Especially when they charge so much for everything else. There is mandatory coordinator that they charge you $850 for, they also charge $400 for the bridal room and the $400 for the groom room for the day of, they misled us into thinking that we would be able to provide our own alcohol, which we find out after signing the contract that they "don't allow that anymore" and that the girl who showed us the venue "was mistaken". We had 110 people there, and the bill just for Chapman Hill was $10,215...That did not include ANY of the vendors. Again, its very pretty place to get married...We loved it! BUT...here are the reasons we give them 3 stars and not 5... 1.) You pay $400 for each the bride and groom cabins for the day ($800), and they literally took our stuff out of the rooms starting at 6pm, when we had a 5pm ceremony. When we expressed our concerns, Susan sharply says, "Its in the contract. Its in the contract."...not even allowing me get anything out of my mouth. She then continues, "We need to get everything out so that our cleaning people can come. Also, we don't want anything left behind, so thats why we do it this way." I can tell you...things were left behind, things were lost, and it cost us money. 2.) The groom's cabin...nobody bothered to turn on the heat before we arrived. We started arriving at 10am the morning of the ceremony to a cabin that was 45 degrees...not kidding. By the time 6pm rolled around, temperature inside was at 62 degrees. Also, though the bridal cabin was probably well worth the $400, that grooms cabin was NOT! Hardly any space to get ready, they have 4 TVs on the wall, which seems cool, until you go to change the channel and they all use the same Roku remote...hahaha. We finally just gave up on the cabin and walked outside. 3.) LISTEN...YOU HAD BETTER INSPECT AND TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING YOU USE THAT IS THEIRS. 3 weeks after our wedding, I get an email from Don, the owner, stating that someone from our party damaged their "plastic wicker" furniture. He sent me pictures and the damage that was done, there is no way that anyone from our party caused that. There were full strands of the plastic missing, pieces obviously cut very sharply off to remove hanging strands...this damage was done throughout the life of that furniture. Bottom line, when raised that concern, they charged me for it anyway, taking it out of my deposit. 3 weeks later, and how many events after ours, and they bill us. They probably charged everyone else too...got themselves new "wicker" furniture from Lowes. 4.) The $850 for the coordinator, meh. The coordinator was nice and all, you're sold a bill of goods that she will always keep a drink in your hand, we won't have to worry about anything, "I'll be here making sure everything goes smoothly,"...Not really. We had to get our own drinks, we find out 3 weeks later furniture "was damaged by our group", shoot...As the groom, I only interacted with her 4 times that whole day. We had to ask if we could go down to the fridge and grab a few beers. LOL. Oh Well. Just know, that although the owners are super sweet and nice up to the day of the ceremony, giving you premarital booklets, super responsive, explaining "everything" to you, when push comes to shove, they are running a business, and you are a paycheck.

The Chapman Hill Venue is beautiful and their staff are legendary. My husband and I had a lovely day celebrating our wedding there, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to them! Would highly recommend.

Loved working with Don and Susan. Super people who just bought the venue about a year ago. They’ve made so many changes and fantastic upgrades. It’s a stunning wedding venue. My only comment is that there needs to be more restrooms but I think that may be in the works as they continue to improve the venue.

This venue is absolute perfection! From the scenery to the staff, we couldn’t have had a better experience! The owners are genuine people who truly care about your wedding day and do everything in their power to make sure it’s what you envision. They have also made so many upgrades to the venue (and are doing more). They were easy to communicate with and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

I'm convinced I had the best experience possible. The staff here are super easy to work with and literally bent over backwards to make sure I had everything I needed and everything was exactly the way I wanted it for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day! Seriously cannot recommend this place enough - get married here!!

I cannot say enough great things about Walnut Hill Farms and their owners Don, Susan, and Claire. Not only did they go above and beyond to make our wedding the best day ever they are also the most sweet kind people you will ever meet! They have the several beautiful spots for photos and can accommodate for an inside or outside ceremony. The bridal sweet is amazing and is the perfect spot for you and your girls to get ready. If you are considering this venue for your wedding you will not be disappointed it is beautiful!

This is the perfect setting for any event you wish to have- garden wedding, black tie, casual ceremony, company outing or anything in between. The owners are kind and go above and beyond to make your event what you dream. They also recently made some renovations and upgrades, can’t wait to get back and see what they’ve done.

Preparation Day – Below are some details of our Walnut Hills experience • Green non-working algae pond with blue filter on a hand pole – I had to ask staff to clean the pond, add water, put shock in it and turn it on immediately - their response was the pond has a leak and they didn’t know we planned for pictures at the waterfall . Per the agreement, the pond/waterfall is available for pictures. • The fire pit at the waterfall was full of rain water. I had to ask for the water to poured out of the fire pit – their response was the fire pit pan is hot (due to the sun) • There were multiple dead roaches or wood bugs on the reception hall floor that scared my granddaughter • Cob webs in the facility corners, bathrooms and cabinets so the wedding planner asked staff to clean them – staff responded stating they didn’t know the cabinets would be used and had no explanation for the others • Dirty windows and mirrors – the wedding planner asked the staff to clean multiple times – staff expressed frustration but did clean them • Linens were not on the tables during first 2.5 hours of setup so I began putting the linens on so we could proceed with the setup of tables – staff began to help after we asked multiple times • No extra toilet paper in restrooms so my daughter had to ask for more to be put in the restroom – staff put additional paper in the restrooms • During rehearsal— 4 venue family members sat on the front porch making us feel rushed. Rehearsal started at 6:00pm and they turned lights off in reception hall at 6:15pm stating they thought we were done in the reception hall. For the last hour they sat on the porch making us feel rushed and like we had to be done by 7. We had until 8:00pm per our agreement. Wedding Day • No WIFI and very poor cell phone service. No phone available for use. This not safe in case of an emergency. • After the wedding and within the first 10 mins of taking photos, the staff asked if they could begin taking up the last 3 rows of chairs – the wedding planner agreed but the staff removed all but 4 chairs (we stopped them before they took them so the handicapped family members could use them to sit) which was distracting and resulted in not being able to take pictures some of the pictures that was on the photo list • After the event was over at 8:15pm, the family cleaned up the facility. Per the agreement, we had until 11 pm to complete the cleanup. At 8:45pm, the staff seemed to pressure the family to finish up by stating we need to begin cleaning out the bridal suite when we were still cleaning the reception hall. We were done with reception hall by 9:00pm and bridal suite by 10:05 but had until 11:00. • There wind gusts of 20+ mph that broke branches out of live trees that almost hit guests and damaged a guest's truck. When looking at the sign, the onsite manager agreed the storm with high winds caused the sign damage – the staff is stating the onsite manager is not qualified to make that decision and is now trying to charge $140 for an old sign that the wind gusts blew down and broke • Bugs were bad outside so we had to purchase bug spray and make it available at the ceremony and cocktail hour. • What is the definition of excessive cleaning? Mopping where a beer was spilled and wiping off a piece of furniture is considered excessive clean up and is attempting to charge 2 hours at $100/hr which is inexcusable for a simple wipe with a wet cloth or mop

We originally had high hopes for this place but after our less than 7 minute tour we were very disappointed. It seemed as though once we said we weren't interested in having the ceremony on site but rather just the reception we were pretty much dismissed. Once we were taken to the main reception area we were told, "Here it is, any questions?" and not much else. When we started to ask questions or take pictures we were pretty much told to look on the website or Instagram. We were never shown the grooms area or the kitchen in fact we were pretty sure they didn't have a kitchen area until their website advertised differently. The entire short exchange was very stand offish. If you're going to be unhappy with couples looking for a reception only venue don't advertise them on your website. This was a waste of an hour drive there and back. The only good thing to come from the less than 7 minute tour was we made then decision to cross them off our list in less than 2 minutes.

Walnut Hill Farms was an absolutely perfect venue! Lynn and Randy take such pride in keeping the grounds flawless! It was also so important for me and my bridesmaids to be able to stay at the beautiful on-sight bridal suite! Having all of my girls their for all of the festivities on the wedding day made everything so stress free! I HIGHLY recommend!

Walnut Hill Farms helped lay out the wedding of my dreams. Lynn is an angel and makes sure you have everything you need for your big day. Everything is beautifully decorated inside and out and you have plenty of options of where you can hold your ceremony (but you can’t beat the big tree out front). I loved loved loved this venue so much - thank you Lynn and Randy for everything!
