From start to finish, our wedding day was absolutely magical! Michaela and the team at Walhill went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. The venue was absolutely stunning. The staff members were so kind, attentive, and made sure we didn't have to worry about a single thing. It honestly felt like a dream come true! We're so grateful for the Walhill team for making our day wonderful - it was everything we imagined and more! We highly recommend Walhill for an unforgettable wedding experience!

Walhill Farm is a beautiful wedding venue in Batesville, IN. Gorgeous forests, natural ponds, pastures, gardens, and flowers stretch across 250 stunning acres. You can make this pastoral property the setting for a truly remarkable country wedding.
Walhill Farm is located between Indianapolis, IN, and Cincinnati, OH. This property was originally the rebuilt pony farm, accomplished in 1960 after a fire destroyed the previous farm. This reconstruction was accomplished with the vision of the owner and famed industrial engineer George Carl Hillenbrand. These days, the Farm has an award-winning restaurant, a sustainable working farm, a renowned event center, and a butcher shop. For events, there are three outdoor ceremony sites and one indoor site. The Barn, a 12,000 square-foot converted horse barn, is an expansive space and can comfortably host up to 500 people for your wedding reception dinner as well as corporate events, fundraisers, etc. It can host quite a few more if there is no need for a dance floor. The Barn is a climate-controlled facility and an inspiring atmosphere that exudes the country feel, which so many event planners and brides desire today. Included with the ceremony site rental is a bridal suite and a groom's room for nearlyweds to get ready in. Additionally, the Lodge can host up to 100 guests.
This venue's staff is ready to assist you in preparing large and opulent events as well as more intimate occasions. They also offer on-site services. Walhill Farm Catering will have your guests raving about the quality of your special day or event.

I hosted my sorority's formal here and it was absolutely wonderful! My guests loved the food, rustic chic decor, beautiful scenery, and acoustics of the barn. Michaela was a great ...
help in coordinating with outside vendors and catering to dietary restrictions. She even took the time to answer all of my last-minute questions while she was overseas.
The cost I provided includes all food, decorations, staff, gratuities, venue rental, and setup and teardown.

ket, smoked chicken quarters, tossed salad/house dressing. Michaela and her team are laid back and very easy to work with; quick to respond to any questions and concerns. We also used the Bridal Suite to get ready and that was lovely. We used two of their rooms to sleep in the night of the reception and those were nice, clean and roomy. Would recommend this venue to family and friends. Glad we chose them and would do it again!

eam are amazing! Everyone was so kind and helpful during the entire process, very quick to answer questions, and extremely helpful. Planning a wedding by yourself without a coordinator/planner is a lot but they really helped with their expertise.
The value is great for the price, everything was gorgeous and all of our guests had an amazing time. If i I had to plan it again I wouldn’t pick a different venue.
Also, the food was amazing!!

got married outside on the east side of the barn and had our reception inside. It was beautiful! Alyssa was amazing, helping us get everything finalized before the wedding. She answered any and all questions we had, and even answered questions we didn't even realize we had at the time. The food was absolutely to die for. We loved it, and our guests are still raving about it. The night of the wedding Jayson was the manager and he made sure everything went perfectly!! Everything about Walhill was absolutely amazing. We can't thank them enough for making our special day even more special.
