The Barn At Gibbet Hill

inish. The entire staff went absolutely above and beyond to make our day special for us and our party but a major shout out to Deirdre, the best planner EVER. Jill and Joan were amazing as well. The guests went on and on about the beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. Run don't walk to this venue!

ie was so organized and excited to help create our dream wedding. She was super responsive to all of our questions and was so helpful in providing direction and ideas as we approached the big day. Their suggested vendor list was also amazing, and everyone we hired off of their list was terrific. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Jill were again so organized and a calming presence. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the inside was perfect for a winter wedding, especially with the enclosed heated deck. All of our guests raved about the food, decor, and the staff. Everything was delicious and the staff was so attentive in making sure that we were eating along with the guests. Our parents were so impressed with the attendants and staff throughout the night. Everyone commented how it felt like they were family and really invested in making our day special. Would highly recommend this venue as it exceeded all expectations!

tch, and it’s all thanks to their incredible staff. Katie worked with me for months on the logistics of our wedding. I had a LOT of questions, requests, changes I wanted to make, etc. Not only was she organized and responsive, she was also kind, upbeat, and genuinely cared about me and my now husband. She really knocked it out of the park with the day-of schedule - I honestly could go on and on, and can’t thank her enough. She also put in a lot of physical work the day-of to set up decor, light candles, etc - and I brought A LOT of stuff. What an absolute gem Katie is. Emily and Jodi were there the day-of to ensure my husband and I were well-fed, on time with our schedule, and overall at ease. I felt instantly at home with both of them - such kind souls and hard workers. I can say the same about the whole staff at the barn, but Katie, Jodi, and Emily were right by our sides through it all. Next, the food was amazing. Food is the mist important thing to us and is the piece we’re always most critical of. My husband and I got to have each of the 7 hors d’eouvres we chose, and there wasn’t one that we didn’t love, but the chicken & waffles and truffle fries were my personal favorites. His favorite was the short rib & maple smoked grilled cheese and the scallop with bacon jam & mango hot sauce. The pork chop and chicken entreés were fabulous. We also had the halibut on our menu and the only constructive note I have for the whole night is that the halibut was pretty dry (I had a bite of my maid of honor’s) - but hey, I’m tough to please and I’m a huge foodie. Plus, halibut is tough to cook, I imagine even tougher to execute ~40 portions. No biggie on this front. The dessert was outstanding - cider doughnuts, pumpkin cheesecake bites (my favorite), and chocolate dipped strawberries sent everyone into a food coma. Or so we thought - the late night snacks were a hit, too, and everyone was able to make room for the black angus and chicken sliders, as well as poutine. Don’t get me started on the drinks at the bar - they were 10/10 fantastic and were not watered down in the slightest. Our guests RAVED and are still raving about the food and drink. Truly outstanding - best wedding food I’ve had (and I don’t think I’m being biased). The venue itself was absolutely stunning and notes were carefully followed to execute our vision. Really, as you can tell, I can’t say enough positive things about The Barn, where I had the best day of my life. THANK YOU for making our dreams come true!

hat we were looking for, but there turned out to be so many more reasons we are so glad to have chosen it as our venue. The main thing I want to highlight is the staff. From our initial call to the day of the wedding, the staff were incredible. Early in our booking process we talked and met with Stefani who answered a lot of my questions. A few months before the wedding, we were assigned Katie Fox as our wedding planner. While the planner isn’t like an independent planner who will assist with finding other vendors and such, we met with Katie twice to go through basically every detail of our event so that we could tailor it exactly to our preferences/vision. She was really responsive outside of those meetings too, which I appreciated as someone who thinks of questions at random and inconvenient times. We had several last minute guest cancellations, and Katie helped me rearrange the tables to accommodate this, and was super reassuring while I panicked over the phone. My husband was a little concerned that they don’t actually do a formal dress rehearsal on site, but the day we dropped off our decorations, we walked through the ceremony progression until we all felt confident (especially in the staff). Overall, the staff are exactly what you need on a day as hectic as your wedding day - experienced, calm, flexible, professional, empathetic and understanding, and efficient; they resolved any problems before they even arose and are the reason our wedding went as smoothly as it did. I also would like to shout out the food! Most reviews are for the dinner menu, which I’m sure is delicious, but I could only hope that their day menu was just as delicious. As a note, couples that book here are invited for a free tasting, but my husband and I don’t live nearby and couldn’t attend any. Well, we were very impressed. We chose to have a brunch buffet. Firstly when looking at the day menus, they clearly crafted them with care, making sure to have a mix of sweet and savory, a variety of textures, and building in vegetarian and gluten friendly options into their base menus. They definitely take guest dietary restrictions seriously and ensure that all guests have something they can enjoy safely/comfortably. And finally, everything was delicious! We got comments all day and afterwards about different menu items. My husband and I still dream about the frittata and are trying to figure out how to either recreate it or eat it again. And as another shout-out to the staff, our day-of coordinator (who I think is also named Katie) brought us plates loaded with a little bit of everything so that we could actually eat, rather than get caught up chatting with guests at the buffet line. I can’t say enough good things about booking the Barn at Gibbet Hill. I highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

was the best food they ever had at a wedding. They run a tight ship and it made my day go so smoothly.

le wedding planning process. We also had Emily on the day of our wedding who was amazing and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The staff beautifully decorated the reception space and placed all of our "personal touches" in the most perfect spots. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! We continue to receive compliments from guests. The event staff could also not have been nicer! The preferred vendor list set us up with some excellent vendors. Gibbet Hill is a well-oiled machine when it comes to weddings and we cannot recommend them enough!

o hosting our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious.

them booking to go back to the restaurant. Stefani was our coordinator she was amazing kept it simple for us but anything we needed or wanted to execute she supported! I can’t get over how beautiful and perfect everything was really appreciated the time and everyone at Gibbet Hill….they make it so easy they know how to throw an amazing wedding!

every problem, adjusted accordingly when guests kept cancelling. The day of was perfect.. everything went so smoothly, no complaints at all. Joan was our wedding party attendant & I’m not kidding when I say anything that Steve or I needed… she was there, without us even having to look for her. Such a sweet woman & so helpful. She even came to the rescue when my bustle broke & helped one of my bridesmaids. The food was AMAZING (way better than we could’ve expected after the tasting). We truly could not have asked for a better venue, it was everything we envisioned.

ble to do something, I was told up front. As a bride with many food allergies, I wanted to make sure that I was able to eat. Bree was wonderful at making sure there were options for me as well as allowing me to bring in my own ice cream and cookies for me to enjoy. The day of went off without a hitch! Bree was calm and ready for anything. Even when we left the flower grannies' baskets at the hotel and had to improvise at the last minute. When she was ready to leave and hand me off to our other coordinator, Bree took the time to check in and see if I needed anything before she left. The time and dedication this venue has to making a fairytale experience is beyond amazing. I received so many compliments on the barn, the food, and the staff!

izers during cocktail hour, drinks, entrees, desserts and all the Gibbet Hill team who was working our event. The entire team was so professional, friendly, and ensured everything went smoothly. Everything was so top notch. A huge shoutout to Stefani, Emily, and Jess. You were all so instrumental in making our day so perfect, making sure we had everything we needed, and keeping me calm and relaxed! They all went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect - and it was! I never had to worry about the schedule or where I needed to be, they all guided me and our bridal party through everything we needed to do. The attention to detail from the backdrop and landscape of the outdoor ceremony space to the cocktail hour on the deck, to the beautiful barn for our reception – it was all so flawless and beautiful. The entire Gibbet Hill team was amazing, and I can't say enough good things about hosting our wedding here. We cannot recommend The Barn at Gibbet Hill enough if you are looking for a beautiful rustic wedding venue!
