Jeff and Anne Lucas
Owner
Jeff and Anne bought the historic farm in 2015 and were married on the property in 2016. They moved the wedding barn from Shelbyville, Indiana in 2016 and built Whippoorwill Hill with the help of their 6 year old son and families. Jeff and Anne continue to build their farm and venue around adoration of their farmland, respect of the historic buildings on site, deep love of family and the song Deeper Than the Holler by Randy Travis. Whippoorwill Hill is truly a working family farm, home to 40 head of cattle and one barn cat named Sully.

Whippoorwill Hill was a perfect venue for our reception. The team was helpful from start to finish and always available to answer questions. The vendors that are recommended are top tier! I would recommend this venue to anyone needing a beautiful place to hold any kind of event. They have decor that is free to use and helped out our budget tremendously, and had a large selection of items to rent at reasonable cost!

Whippoorwill Hill was absolutely incredible for our big day! From the moment we booked the venue over a year ago, they have helped us step by step throughout the entire process to ensure that everything was exactly what we wanted. They were extremely easy to work with and very responsive, as well as they were very understanding. The fall weather ended up putting the venue just over the top, and my wife and I couldn't have been any happier. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a beautiful event, with low to no hassle!

I had my wedding at Whippoorwill Hill on September 14, 2024. Everything was absolutely perfect. This venue is stunning and really only needs minimal décor as it is already beautiful by itself. I had roughly 230 people attend and the venue was able to hold this capacity no problem! The venues team was beyond helping before, during, and after my wedding. We rented the venue the day before as well and the staff was on time to let us in and was there to help and answer any questions we had. Upon arrival to the venue, the team had already set up all the tables and chairs for me according to the floor plan I had provided them. They were also there for the duration of my wedding and helped with anything we needed. We also hired them after the event to clean up which was a life saver. Overall I couldn't recommended this venue enough! With the help from the staff and the beauty of this venue, my wedding was everything I had ever dreamed it would be!

Whippoorwill Hill was the perfect venue for our Bloomington wedding! With blue skies in May, we were able to open the barn doors for the perfect indoor/outdoor event space we wanted. WH had amazing decorations to add rustic charm to our tables, and great add-ons (photobooth and ceremony chairs were my personal favorite). Anne was always available to answer any questions, and all of her staff were absolutely fantastic! They were available for clean-up, which was very helpful. Anne also provided a list of preferred vendors, multiple for each category, which gave me freedom to keep my wedding personalized and within budget. I cannot recommend Whippoorwill enough for your big day!

The barn is beyond gorgeous and honestly you don't even need excessive decorations as the venue is naturally so stunning.

My Husband and I got married at Whippoorwill Hill three weeks ago, and we still can't get over what a wonderful experience it was. Anne and her team were so helpful, and the nine months between booking and our special day were filled with helpful connections, thoughtful emails, and all the excitement.
The value of booking an event at Whippoorwill Hill is phenomenal. The tables, decor closet, ability to rent chairs for inside and out, as well as the list of incredible vendors that they have used and vetted are so helpful. It was an easy experience planning a wedding here in less than a year!
Aside from all of that, we were grateful to not only find a venue that welcomed a queer wedding-but celebrated us. Anne helped us have the most joy-filled celebration of our dreams, and I'm grateful that a quick google search brought us to Whippoorwill Hill
Thanks to Anne and her team—we truly loved our day at your farm, and that beautiful green pasture will always have a special place in our hearts and story

We had our wedding last Friday at whippoorwill Hill, the staff and owners are great! The venue is absolutely beautiful helping us save money on decor and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the barn and property were. We were going to elope with our family but decided to find a barn around us that was in our budget. Whippoorwills beauty and price point won us over, all Of our family and us traveled from out of town to have this barn as our venue. The communication, price, beauty, openness to do your own caterer bar etc and kindness were a big plus

We LOVED having our wedding at Whippoorwill Hill. Our wedding was in October and the setting was absolutely gorgeous with the fall leaves. The new pergola made a beautiful outdoor ceremony and guests kept raving about the beauty of the barn inside for the reception as well. Anne was so communicative from the very beginning and the whole day was well organized. Not to mention it is an affordable venue in the area and not far from many hotels for guests to stay at.

If you are looking for a venue that cares about creating the day you have been dreaming of, you have found the right place. We kept our decorations fairly minimal because Whippoorwill Hill provides so much beauty on its own, but they have a large selection of decor that is included for your use. The staff will work with you to ensure everything is set up to your liking, and Anne is exceptionally communicative. The open barn days they host are great for visualizing and planning, and I like that they have the staff at these events alongside local vendors to help make your wedding planning a lot easier - well before your event date. I can tell that it's not just about having a venue for this crew; it's about creating the ultimate experience for your event. From the event chairs to the available decor to the country charm to the historic barn in a southern Indiana landscape...I honestly cannot stop gushing about this beautiful farm.

Our wedding day was amazing and could not have gone better. When I showed up to set up the morning of, the weather had turned cold but the staff on site was quick to jump in and assist with heaters to get the temp up well before guests were to arrive that afternoon. Whippoorwill was great with answering questions and assisting with table & set up. We had reached out to many chair vendors but Whippoorwill acquired chairs that they would then rent out as well which made using them as our chair vendor such a seamless process. The Chairs were perfect for the setting. The many decorations that the venue has to offer paired perfectly with the setup we were looking for. From the open barn, beautiful ceremony space to the huge pasture that the kids were able to run and play in during the reception we could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. I would highly recommend Whippoorwill Hill for anyone looking to tie the knot.

Whippoorwill Hill is absolutely beautiful and has the most wonderful staff. Anne is extremely communicative and helpful and made sure things went as smoothly as possible for us. In addition, the staff day of were so amazing! Some of the perks I specifically enjoyed about this venue is how they provide a gigantic amount of decor that is included in the price of renting the venue. I also appreciated the "open barn" dates they offer so I could visit a second time to finish planning everything out! This venue also offers extra perks (for an additional charge) such as a PA system, golf cart, cleanup, etc. The one "drawback" to keep in mind with this venue is there is not a full bridal suite unless you rent the Airbnb they have on-site, but this did not negatively impact me at all as I easily planned around it (just something important to know for planning purposes). Overall, I genuinely could not have been happier with this venue and the staff and felt like everything was as close to perfect as possible!

This venue was incredibly professional and flexible. They worked with us to make our day perfect! They responded very quickly to every email even when it wasn’t business hours or days. The staff was incredibly helpful! The venue is absolutely gorgeous especially with the brand new pergola! My only critique is the lack of bridal suites. They have a very rustic cabin, but isn’t renovated yet, so it’s not suitable for getting ready. Therefore, it is definitely tricky to figure out getting ready locations for pictures, as well as coordinating where the groom/groomsmen & bride/bridesmaids would be at what time to prevent overlap since we weren’t doing a first look. They have an Airbnb called the Sanders store, but it is extremely overpriced in my opinion especially since you’d probably need it for 2 days because of the check in and check out times. However, we were able to figure it out, so it is doable! The staff was very helpful with that too. I think if they were to add bridal suites for both the bride and groom (included in price) then this would literally be the perfect venue!

Whippoorwill is THE place to get married at. The venue is breathtaking wether you want the "barn" vibe or not. You can have the ceremony inside, outside, or even covered outside. With my friends getting married soon they have all commented on the ease of having decorations on site and not spending $1000s on decorations to try and resell later on Facebook Marketplace. They have all you need and the venue barely even needs decorations. the natural beauty during the day and then the sparkle lights at night. The small things that you do not have to worry about that make your day easier and better. You will NOT regret booking this amazing venue.

Wow, Whippoorwill Hill was fantastic! I absolutely loved working with Anne and her family! They are good people and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients! They do the "little things" that go a long way! They made the wedding planning process much better and I would 100% recommend working with them! Annnnd they have a beautiful venue that can accommodate indoor or outdoor settings! Plus, it was SO nice that they provide chairs, tables, and have a décor inventory that can be used! Thank you Whippoorwill Hill for being a part of my wedding day!

This venue should be the top venue in Bloomington, IN. Whippoorwill on so many levels is such a great venue. We had our wedding there and Whippoorwill along with the staff just go above and beyond to make your event so special! We have a deeper connection to Whippoorwill thanks to great hospitality they provide.

Michael and I's wedding day was absolutely PERFECT! All the guests were comfortable and loved the beautiful property. Everyone was so helpful in the process. Anne and the team are so great to work with. I can't say enough great things about the property and the staff! Our wedding day happened without anything going wrong. We used the outside overhang/patio and never had to worry about the possibility of rain.

This venue is absolutely beautiful! We had an early October wedding and the scenery just speaks for itself. You truly do not need a lot of decor to make your wedding what you want it to be because the barn adds so much character. Anne, her family and the Whippoorwill Hill staff are so kind, friendly and communicative. If you are looking for a barn venue, this is definitely for you!

Whippoorwill Hill was a perfect place to get married! The team was responsive to every question we had and worked with us when we had a last minute crisis. They had so many onsite decorations for us to choose from and did most of the set up for us. The barn was stunning and there was so much land to take pictures on. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Whippoorwill Hill.

Just had my wedding at whippoorwill and it was a lovely experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. The space was clean, set up just how we asked, and the landscaping framed our photos beautifully. Some of the best pictures we got were from guests taking shots of the dance floor from the upper balcony. We rented the golf cart for a little extra and it allowed us to get bride and groom photos in multiple locations on the property during the cocktail hour. Would highly recommend this venue for anyone interested in a barn aesthetic.

We had an amazing wedding at Whippoorwill Hill! When we first met Anne and saw the space we knew it was the place. Not only is the venue barn elegant and classic, but the rest of the property is stunning. The historical aspect of the place is just icing on the cake for us (my family loves old restored buildings).
For our wedding we wanted something that was both elegant and classic but also had plenty of beautiful places for pictures. This was the place. The space can truly be made to fit any theme. We utilized the entire venue from the fields, the pole barn, the 1822 house, and even the woods. In fact, when we said we wanted to have our wedding in the woods, Anne said “no problem” and helped us make it happen by spending a day cleaning the area and the entire walk to the spot. When I said I wanted to bring my horse to the venue for the wedding she said “of course! What time will she be here?”. They truly made it a dream come true.
Lastly, the venue coordinator (sorry don’t have her name), made the day of run so smoothly. When she met my elderly grandfather she helped him with everything he needed and even said “my job is to take care of you”. That was just going above and beyond and meant the world to me. My grandpa just couldn’t stop talking about her and what a great help she was.
I would have a wedding here again in the heartbeat. Nothing could have been better about the owner, workers, venue, or anything.

ide such insight and detail into your experience - it means everything to us! I may have teared up just a little bit. I know Jenny (the venue coordinator on the day of your wedding) was honored to be able to help your grandpa get around and was so excited to see this review.
We are honored to have been the backdrop to your day, and are so happy that you brought your horse, enjoyed the carriage ride and hosted the first ceremony on the railroad bed! Your adventurous sprit is awesome & we like your style. You'll go down in our history as the first bride on the railroad!
Wishing you guys all the best! Come back and see us sometime soon!

This venue was everything I dreamed it would be for my special day. They were completely understand and very helpful with all my questions/ concerns.
The barn itself is so beautiful and has a really great airflow with all the barn doors open. We had a mid July wedding and while it was definitely warm it wasn’t near as hot as we expected.
The air conditioned entry/bathroom/kitchen spaces was great to have for some of our guests to chill when they needed to cool off.
The grounds the venue sits on are very well kept and so beautiful. It gave us many options for photos.
We booked the venue for two full days so that we could decorate and set up the day before as well as hot our rehearsal dinner there. I would highly suggest this if you are wanting to decorate the venue yourself. It was also very well priced compared to other venues in the area.
We booked the venue about a year and a half in advance and had great communication with Anne all the way leading up to the wedding.
We could not of picked a better place to create our special day!
