Jennifer, it is with deep sorrow that we read of your negative experience at Rural Hill Fa...
rm. We strive to make every experience here special for all our guests. For unknown reasons, we feel you have unfairly and without merit posted feedback that is not completely factual. Guests of RHF have been having wonderful experiences for many years and we have a history of great feedback. Although this is not normal correspondence, we are truly sorry for any bad experiences you had and wish there was a way to change them. Thank you for choosing Rural Hill Farm. - Dan & Lisa Liles (owners)

Very unprofessional and rude to bride and groom after excessive ticks at wedding. They could have simply apologized to them afterwards but couldn’t even do that.
Response from Rural Hill Farm
Meghan, we are saddened to hear that you feel this way. We were in near constant communica...
tion with the couple in the days following their event on 6/5/23 and most certainly did apologize at every turn. It is regrettable that bugs impacted their experience in our wooded ceremony site. Now that we are aware, we have made a plan to treat the area.

Ditto the review below. The venue is lovely but the grassy area is infested with ticks and biting ants. My legs are covered in bites and I removed three ticks from toddler grandso...
n as well as multiple ticks from husband. I would not use the grassy area until it is made safe. Unfortunately the venue does not acknowledge the problem so likely will not address it.

ined when you reached out to us directly, we have been made aware of the issue and have made a plan to treat this area. This is the first time that we have ever received this feedback about this area in our many years of operation. Thank you for your understanding as we work to resolve this.

Our son’s wedding took place at Rural Hill Farms on June 5, 2023. Though the venue is beautiful, it is also heavily infested with ticks. Be very aware of this before holding your e...
vent in their space. The owner doesn’t believe the ticks are an issue. Mother Nature he says!

Mary, thank you for reaching out and letting us know about your experience. We value clien...
t feedback so that we can work to provide a safe space for all our guests. We realize you’re frustrated with your post-wedding experience; however it is my understanding that the wedding was highly regarded by the Bride & your son, the Groom. We personally spoke with both Sydney & Paul the day after the wedding and learned later of them also speaking to my son, Devin, who was also working on site that day. We both received nothing but compliments from them both regarding the wedding day and how happy they were with their entire experience. Our Event Manager, Emily, did hear from Sydney the day following, when Sydney reached out alerting us of the ticks they found, however her messaging was solely in relation to her concern for our future guests.
We can see how, on this occasion, it is frustrating to leave the venue and experience the discovery of ticks amongst various attendees. However, being that the wedding took place in our outdoor ceremony space in the woods (which is completely separate from our Event Center/Pavilions), we have no guarantee on Mother Nature and how the elements may affect individuals. We do properly maintain the space through landscaping but have opted not to use pesticides in the past as we have not had any complaints from past guests utilizing this area and out of concern for the agriculture and wildlife on the property. This may now need to be reevaluated in light of this event.
Moving forward, I hope you can understand that our goal as a venue is to offer space for any event, in this case your son’s wedding, that makes that day special. We believe we have achieved that through the multiple touch points made with the Bride & Groom and the conversations that were had on how happy they were with their entire experience. -Dan Liles, Owner

We had our wedding here in September of 2021 and it was absolutely the most perfect day! We booked the large cabin for me and my girls the night before and the night of for me and ...
my husband and it was the best decision I could make! Everything was so perfect!

Duck Pond Farm is absolutely gorgeous and was the perfect setting for my dream wedding on 10/19! This place is truly a hidden gem that I can't rave about enough. The venue is locat...
ed in Mount Juliet just off of Percy Priest. Tucked away about a mile off the main road, the drive opens up into a beautiful, serene wooded area where you see a horse barn, large pavilion, big pond and several cabins. We rented the cabins over the weekend and had the venue from Friday (12p) to Sunday (11a). So many venues give you only 8-10 hours to set up/tear down and host your ceremony and reception but it was so nice to have the full weekend for this. It was such a relief to know we had that extra time to relax and weren't rushed. The cabins were incredible. Everything was in great shape and extremely convenient to be able to have rehearsal at the venue, wake up there wedding morning and stay there wedding night. Over the weekend, we saw turkeys, deer, turtles, ducks and lots of pretty birds. The venue contact, Marisa was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly kind, accommodating and flexible with my crazy work schedule. My husband to be and mom both lived out of state leading up to the wedding and she was very generous to set up multiple sites with me so they could each put their stamp of approval on the wedding. Marisa was very quick to respond and thoroughly answered all my questions. I have worked with several venues over the years and this is by far the absolute BEST (and pretties). Duck Pond Farm is absolute perfection and Marisa's southern hospitality makes this place a dream for any Bride. I promise you will fall in love with it just like we did.

Great for the most part. The day of the wedding, the grass still wasn't mowed and there was duck poop everywhere, so we had to get someone to clean up the place ASAP... Outlet does...
n't work at the gazebo, which luckily our DJ had a bluetooth speaker. Would've been nice to know the cons before booking this place.. Other than that, it was great.
Response from Rural Hill Farm
Thank you for your review of the farm. We are thrilled to hear that your wedding was a hit...
but hate to hear some unpleasant experiences. Once a call was made that the grass was taller than you preferred, we sent our grounds crew to take it down more. The grounds are tended to and maintained on a weekly basis or sooner if needed. We are located on a 150 acre farm with a huge pond where geese, ducks and other wildlife freely roam the land. The gazebo does have a working power supply and a fan located in it for DJ to plug in and comfort of the bride and groom.
