I was married at Barns at Crest Hill and it succeeded all of my expectations. First the view is unbelievable. Watching the sunset over the little mountain in the backdrop and lake ...
Athlone with Irish music playing was picture perfect
We had a little hide-away bar in the silo itself, and it felt like we were in a medieval tower. This is not a cutesy country farm with lots of rough spots showing... It is regal property where every corner has been perfected, and where you can craft the perfect vision you have for your wedding and make it a reality.
Another favorite? The majestic fireplace overlooking a pebblsteone patio that rivaled the pavilion as a dance floor. Your guest will find plenty of nooks. Just sneak inside to the pub, or upstairs for a window view and soak it all in.
Amazing people to do business with, amazing location, and the nearby town of Marshall is picture perfect Americana. Don't miss the Red Truck Bakery!

Getting married at The Barns at Crest Hill was everything I could have hoped for and more. The property itself is stunning! Rustic barns, wide open fields, and the beautiful lake a...
nd mountain in the background made for a backdrop that our guests are still talking about. We held our reception in the main barn and then the after party outside on the fireplace patio, and it truly felt like the perfect dance floor under the stars.
What really stood out to me was the balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. The main barn is beautifully restored and climate-controlled, which kept everyone comfortable while still feeling authentic. Having multiple spaces to work with made the day flow naturally. The ceremony by the lake, cocktail hour at the ice house, and then everyone gathering around the fireplace at night.
If you’re looking for a venue that feels both private and picturesque, this is it. My wife and I couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate with the people we love most. I highly recommend The Barns at Crest Hill to any couple looking for a place that’s as memorable as the day itself.

history and character in every beam. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful the property was, from the lake views to the rolling mountain scenery.
One of our absolute favorite parts was the fireplace patio! It made the perfect dance floor under the stars. Everyone was out there dancing the night away, and it’s a memory we’ll cherish forever!
If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, rustic elegance, and a layout that keeps guests entertained from ceremony to last dance, The Barns at Cresthill is the perfect choice!
