We got married at the Honey Bee location and our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful it was. Huge shout out to Corrine and Courtney for making the day run so smoothly. C...
orrine is hands down the perfect person to help you on the day of your wedding. She is detail oriented, calm, and kind. As a bride you can get overwhelmed, and Corrine is there to help in any way she can. Corrine made sure that our day was magical and special. She handles any bumps or curveballs with grace and readiness to pivot. The venue is so stunning, and you get all the charm of the farmland while being close to the beaches for your guests to enjoy their time while they are in town. If you are looking for a location for an intimate wedding with an extravagant wedding feel - Honey Bee at Hopkins Heartland is perfection.
Honey Bee Barn is absolutely a great venue for smaller events and weddings. The building and layout are amazing, the outdoor ceremony area is beautiful. And the backdrop against th...
e fields just adds a beautiful element for photos. There is also a bridal getting ready space that is amazing.
We recently got married at the Honey Bee venue at Hopkins Heartland at the end of September and loved our experience there. Working with Ingrid and Corrine was amazing, they were v...
ery knowledgeable, quick with responses and we had the best wedding day ever.
I would suggest getting a small tent just in case for rain, thankfully we did and it worked out great for guests to have extra space during cocktail hour and during dancing.
Couldn't recommend the venue and their team more!!
Gah! This venue was beyond perfect. Not only is the location stunning but you get to stay at the Inn for 4 days! You really get to enjoy the moment, which flies by. I would definit...
ely recommend them for your wedding.
Hopkins Heartland is the best place you can imagine to celebrate any momentous occasion, especially having two different barns to cater to your specific needs. My husband and I had...
the privilege of celebrating our special day at their Honeybee Barn, and it was the best day of our lives, mainly due to the Heartland Team. The barn itself is breathtaking, and they thought of every little detail - from the light fixtures to the Meant to Bee sign on the wall (my favorite part!)
The day ran smoothly, everything was pristine and gorgeous, and communication was always thorough and prompt. Cannot recommend this venue enough - thank you Corrine, Ingrid, and Elian for spending the evening with us. It was a day to remember for years to come.
So we have a lawn care business n came by a good few years ago to give an estimate for the property! While touring the grounds, my thoughts started... when my man asked me one day ...
this is IT!!!!!! Omg this farm is amazing. Now we do cut the Hopkins creamery around the cornerđ
A couple years later we he asked and I made the call to Ingrid. We were supposed to be married 4/11/2020 but like most that year we had to postpone! In hindsight totally worth it 𤊠Ingrid n her team worked with us through out the hole thing. We had rescheduled for 4/17/21 and the day was AMAZING 𼲠the bed and breakfast was lovely for friends n family to stay in. Breakfast was wonderful on Saturday n Sunday. Getting ready with my girls was a blast. The men had a great time in the barn room. The hole day went by so well!!! The ceremony was perfect đ and reception was off the hook!!!
Thank you to the Hopkins crew they are awesome and make your special day happen wonderfullyđ I highly recommend this venue for any event you want to be special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This venue was fantastic. The venue needs very little decorations to make it amazing. The authentic wood and the upgrades gave it the modern amenities like string lighting and a fi...
re pit with the charm of a farm house with oak barrels and handcrafted tables. All of our guests said we had the best wedding they ever been to and we feel it was largely due to the venue.
From the minute we set foot on the farm, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. Hopkins Heartland is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue and the wedding weekend experience was ...
perfect. It was so convenient and stress free to have access to the entire venue beginning on Thursday. This gave us plenty of time to set up and make sure the details for our big day were perfect. You spend so long planning your wedding and having the ability to extend those memories for a whole weekend was invaluable. The Inn is charming and cozy, with huge windows that give perfect natural light that make for beautiful pictures. Corrine helped make our planning process run so smoothly â any time we had questions (big or small) or just wanted opinions on things, she was always readily available and super responsive. On the day of, she helped make sure everything ran smoothly and even helped us clean up the barn. We were so happy with our day and highly recommend the wedding weekend experience at Hopkins Heartland!
Hopkins Heartland blew away our expectations. From the very first tour of the venue to leading up to my wedding day, Corrine and Ingrid made our experience seamless and enjoyable. ...
The venue is breathe taking and the Inn is so cozy and welcoming. I couldn't imagine not doing a whole wedding weekend. My husband and I had the day of our dreams at Hopkins Heartland and would recommend it to any couple! We love you Ingrid and Corrine, thank you!
The Covered Bridge Inn was the one and only venue my now husband and I visited. I knew from the moment we stepped out of our car that this was going to be the place we would have o...
ur wedding. It was everything I had imagined and was perfect. From the first meeting with Ingrid we felt welcomed and we were treated like family. Corrine is an absolute god send and was amazing during the entire wedding planning. She was always there to answer any and all questions I had, at any time of the day. COVID hit and shut everything down just weeks before our wedding. Ingrid and Corrine reached out with options and a plan, not once but twice!! They made sure we were still going to get the full experiense of the wedding weekend and we did. I couldn't believe how relaxed I was on the morning of my wedding. Corrine handled everything from the deocrating, the vendors and the timeline of the day. After 2 postponments we finally had our day, fireworks and all. We will forever be greatful for Corrine and Ingrid for making our day absolutely perfect!!
I have so many amazing things to say I donât even know where to start! Covered Bridge Inn is hands down the BEST venue you could ever hope for. First of all, owner Ingrid and coord...
inator Corrine have it down to a science. They have a plan A, B, C and D for everything. They are so flexible and accommodating to ensure that your wedding is perfect. Due to covid, we had to essentially plan the wedding 3 different times and they were right by our side with every option to help. We finally had a small wedding in December and it was PERFECT. They took what little decorations I had and ran with them, turning the barn and the ceremony space into gorgeous rustic spaces I couldnât have even imagined were possible! One of the most incredible things about the venue is that you get it for the ENTIRE weekend! Thursday - Sunday. We checked into the gorgeous Inn Thursday and were able to settle in, relax, decorate, etc. at our own leisure! That is a huge stress eliminator! Additionally, they worked so well with all our vendors itâs like they are all one seamless team. I just cannot say enough amazing things about the Covered Bridge Inn. It was the best decision weâve ever made.
I cannot say enough great things about this venue and all the amazing people that made our wedding day so perfect. The inn keeper (Ingrid) is so welcoming & when you meet her, you ...
feel like youâve known her your whole life! We felt at home the whole time we stayed at the inn and it was extremely convenient having access to the property all weekend long. The amenities, vendor recommendations, atmosphere, and overall experience was more than we could have ever imagined.
The Covered Bridge Inn was the one and only venue we visited. We knew from looking online that it had everything we wanted but when we got there to see it in person we realized how...
truly perfect it was for us. The Covered Bridge Inn is more than a wedding venue, it has so much history and itâs incredible to be apart of. We got married in August during the pandemic. There were so many questions about how the day would be but Corrine and Ingrid were extremely transparent and had every answer on how to stay safe but have my dream wedding at the same time. They truly accomplished that. We also got married on an extremely rainy day, which meant no bridge backdrop like we had planned. But while I got to hangout in the amazing Inn with all of my best friends and get ready for my wedding day, Ingrid and Corrine had my ceremony moved inside to the most gorgeous inside wedding ceremony I could ever imagine. I canât think of one single complaint. Just so many amazing memories from my wedding. Thanks to the Covered Bridge Inn we had the absolute perfect wedding weekend. Thank you Ingrid & Corrine!
The Covered Bridge Inn was the most magical and perfect place for our wedding. Ingrid and Corrinne made the whole experience so much easier and they were so helpful throughout the ...
whole process. Covid really threw a wrench in things and they kept me hopeful and positive as we moved forward, and were still able to plan our wedding. They helped us through the whole process of picking our vendors and were there to answer any questions we had. The Inn that my Bridesmaids and I were able to stay in all weekend was one of the best parts about the Covered Bridge Inn. We were able to relax and all be together and it made it that much more special. On our wedding day, Corrinne and Ingrid were there all day to make sure everything went smooth. They were there to help us out with anything we needed! It is the most beautiful place and they were absolutely wonderful to work with! If youâre thinking about booking your wedding venue here I can guarantee you will have the most amazing wedding. I canât thank Ingrid and Corrinne enough for everything they did for us. We had so many guests tell us how wonderful, beautiful, and safe it was! It was a perfect weekend and we are both so happy that we had our wedding there!
When my fiancĂŠ & I got engaged in December of 2018 we immediately began looking at wedding venues & quickly came discouraged. Each venue we looked at was asking thousands of dollar...
s to usher you in & get you out in 10-12 hours flat. We did not want to spend our wedding day running around like a bunch of crazies; we wanted to spend our time really enjoying the process! I cried literal tears of joy when we found Ingrid + Covered Bridge Inn! A whole weekend (Thursday to Sunday) of uninterrupted time to enjoy the whole wedding experience!!! It was a dream! We checked into the Inn on Thursday, spent the day organizing our rentals & really getting things set into place - exactly how we envisioned it! Friday was spent the day with our wedding party hanging out on the property where we also hosted our rehearsal dinner. It was fantastic. Saturday, the day of our wedding, Ingrid was there every step of the way from making breakfast for myself & my bridesmaids, to helping put ceremony decorations back into place when the wind would kick up. We were able to enjoy not just our wedding day but a whole wedding WEEKEND thanks to Ingrid + Corrine. Of course we canât forget to mention how Ingrid & Corrine were so gracious & accommodating when COVID turned our original wedding plans upside down. They answered questions quickly & problem solved as issues came up. We will be forever be grateful for the amazing memories we were able to make at Covered Bridge!
I just wanted to take time to give a HUGE shoutout to Ingrid and Corrine!!! We recently got married at the Covered Bridge Inn and couldn't have been happier with our overall experi...
ence from start to finish. Let me just say this was the ONLY place I wanted to get married, the ONLY placed we looked at, and we actually put a deposit down the same day!!! When you know you know!! We immediately had a bond with Ingrid and her heartwarming personality. We felt like we had know her for years. We knew right away we were in good hands. With COVID we were not even sure we were getting our dream wedding. Ingrid kept me positive and hopeful through all the uncertainty. Luckily everything worked out and was everything I imagined and MORE â¤ď¸ Ingrid and Corrine were so helpful in making sure I was stress free and that everything went smoothly. As someone who struggles with anxiety, this was extremely helpful for me knowing they had everything under control. They are two truly amazing people and we are so thankful and blessed. We had such a fantastic wedding weekend. We highly recommend the whole weekend experience if you can! Thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts for the wonderful memories we will always cherish and have forever!!!
A Most Perfect Union!
It was hard to imagine during these last 5 months of the pandemic that my Son & Daughter-in-Law would be able to have an idyllic Wedding. But Ingrid & Corrin...
e of the Covered Bridge Inn combined their magical powers and created a weekend of pure bliss.
I am still smiling every time I think of how well everything went: from adhering to safety guidelines yet ensuring everyone was enveloped in a comfortable aura, to the Bride & Groom being gifted the flawless, supportive and joyous celebration they deserved.
Ingrid & Corrine were professional and pleasurable to work with, and I am grateful for the marvelous memories we all have of the Wedding Weekend!
P.S. The Innâs Creamery ice cream served at the reception was the crème de la crème!
We can't say enough about Ingrid and Corinne at the Covered Bridge Inn. Not only do they run probably the most BEAUTIFUL venue in Sussex County, but it is very apparent they take t...
remendous pride in what they do. The Barn, the bridge and the property offer breathtaking views in a setting that can be transformed to reflect anyone's personal tastes. Not only that, but with each wedding weekend, Ingrid offers her beautifully renovated farmhouse to be utilized by the bride and bridesmaid for the weekend to get ready which was so convenient the day of.
Outside of the venue, we can't praise Ingrid and Corinne enough for their assistance in planning and rescheduling for our big day as we were one of the lucky couples that got to plan during the Covid-19 Crisis. Ingrid and Corrinne got so creative on our behalf when we realized that our original April 25th date would no longer be a reality for us. They offered us alternative dates (even week days), and were so incredibly flexible and responsive during a time where they could of very easily put our contracts in our face and said "take it or leave it" (this is something that I heard other brides had to deal with in our area). Never in our wildest dreams would I imagined that we needed both a rain contingency and a virus contingency but despite it all, Ingrid and Corrinne made it work for us and made our day everything we wanted and more. These two kept us calm when we could have, and probably should have, felt otherwise, and promised us we would have a our "perfect day" and they delivered just that. This venue and this team set the bar in their industry, and we are so thankful we got to share our perfect day with them!

This venus was excatly what i wanted for my wedding! Beautiful! So we took a look and met with the owner. Went well. Went home and my mom and I talked it over and i thought about f...
or a little before finally deciding because its NOT refundable! Days of thinking about it i knew i wamted it. So as a bride and a normal person i had questions! Well apparently i had too many questions for the owner to handle and told me to move on to a different venue that she didnt have time to answer all my questions. She kept saying shes a busy Inn Keeper so then why are you dealing with weddings! Brides have questions. Then it just got even worse. My mom tried to talk to her and figure things out because she knew i wanted my wedding there. But the lady was even getting nasty with my mom. Telling her we HAD to book a wedding planner to book at her venue which is no where in the contract . She only wanted us to get one because i had to many questions. She even told my mom AFTER she booked the weekend i wanted that she figured she could afford her venue because she didnt want to book a wedding planner! Discrimation i say! Theres more that happend but that just the jist of it! So if you are a bride and want you day to be magical and perfect do not book her. She doesnt have time for brides nor any questions they may have!
