We just had our wedding at the Barn at Merry Hill and are truly so impressed by everyone we collaborated with. The staff there was extremely accommodating and open to bringing almo...
st anything that we envisioned to life. Be sure to be organized so you can ask the necessary questions to bring your vision to life.
Our coordinator, Jenn, went above and beyond during the rehearsal dinner and the entire wedding to set everything up, ensure our timing was perfect, and maintain a calming atmosphere. The talented Chef Jen, created an exceptional menu for our guests to indulge in and it was the highlight of our wedding, which is exactly what we were aiming for! The bartenders and serving staff were incredibly kind and helpful to all of our guests. The venue’s authentic, rustic beauty speaks for itself but the landscaping highlighted the natural elements of the property and made for so many stunning photos.
Communicating with everyone from the Barn at Merry Hill felt casual and stress free from the start. When we first toured the property with Bobby, he was beaming with pride for the gorgeous venue he and his wife created, as well as being the type of people who aren’t trying to nickel and dime you as you’re in the early stages of building a life together. Being there on our wedding day felt like a home away from home and we are honored to have made memories there with such kindhearted people!

This venue was fantastic. The bridal suite was so spacious and it was very convenient that there were changing stalls and a private restroom. The ceremony space outside was so be...
autiful with all of the landscaped plants and flowers that we got away without buying any of our own florals or decorations for that space. Our guests really loved the food (both cocktail hour and dinner) and portions were huge!! There seemed to be the perfect amount of space for our 115 guests leaving a nice large dance floor.

The Barn at Merry Hill was an incredible venue for our wedding with 120 people. Our guests loved the food catered by Tuckaway Tavern! The value they got was higher end when compare...
d to many weddings and the staff really made our experience just as memorable.
For our guests, we went with:
Starters
Chicken Tenders - 1/2 garlic parm 1/2 plain ( bbq, honey mustard) which is good for the kids too.
Crab Rangoons
Dirty Birds w. Bama
Mains
Haddock Tuscania.. spinach, sun dried tomato, cream, light cream cheese
London Broil w. gravy (mushrooms on side)
Sides
Mac and cheese
Penne in lemon cream
Cowboy Caviar
This was a lot of food and everyone said how amazing it was. The Chefs were flexible enough to customize everything as we wanted but with all of their experience, they recommended all we needed and worked with us during our private food tasting at the barn, which was so good we had to book another one to try out signatures dishes for our personal meals!
For our meals, our chef’s prepared some special meals, a 12 oz wagyu filet, apple bourbon reduction, hassleback potato, garlic buttered zucchini for her & the Pan seared heritage duck breast, cran orange chutney, root hash, baby bok choy for me! Everything was amazing.
From the wedding planning with Jenn & Bobby through the entire event, everything went so smooth and was so nice!
