We offer a one-of-a-kind ceremony garden, an elegant open-air reception pavilion with panoramic views, and UNLIMITED photo opportunities on our 92-acre property. Beautiful and moody, the rustic woodland glam vibe is nothing short of magical and is comparable to having a private park for your event.

We could not have picked a better wedding venue! From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Adrienne was incredible to...
work with from start to finish. Her passion and vision for this venue were so comforting when we were deciding where to have our wedding. I still remember talking with her and instantly feeling confident that this was the right place. The venue itself is stunning, and we received countless compliments from our guests on how beautiful everything was and the food just WOW. Even at our tasting, the chef made it nearly impossible to narrow down to just three options because every dish was phenomenal. On the wedding day, the service was flawless. Everything ran so smoothly, and we never had to worry about a single thing. Even the bartenders were amazing. So personable, fun, and truly kept the energy alive for our guests all night. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for the perfect place to celebrate their big day. Just take one tour or have dinner at pine hills and let the place speak for itself. Screaming thank you thank you thank you to the Pine Hills staff for helping make our day so magical.
