I recommend August Hill because for me it was the absolute best and more affordable place to hold your wedding. From the AirbNb that has the space and necessities for the wedding party to get ready, to the Barn Venue that you can decorate to your own personal liking. Lastly they have a outdoor bar, and if you serve alcohol, they provide you with bartenders so you dont have to worry about the guest serving themselves. August Hill is the perfect place if you're looking for a outdoorsy, country feeling wedding. I promise you wont be disappointed as the owners try to accommodate what they can for your special day.

If you don't get married here, you're missing out! The ENTIRE experience was way better than I ever could have imagined! Think wedding planning is stressful? Not here. From the planning stages all the way to the wedding day/night was such a stress-free time. I was truly able to enjoy every moment of my wedding because of how easy Maggie and Vince made it. Their communication and easy-going personalities made the whole process so much fun! The venue is BEAUTIFUL. It's perfectly laid out for a one stop shop. I had my ceremony, pictures, dinner and reception all on site. There are SO MANY good spots to take pictures, the bar area is ridiculously perfect and charming, and the barn is so rustic and beautiful. I have too many good things to say about my experience. I loved it so much that I can't wait to start planning my vow renewal ceremony so I can do it all over again and without a doubt have it at Magnolia's at Hobart!

Bucks Run is a beautiful wedding venue! If we had to get married again, we would choose this venue without any hesitation. My husband is an avid golfer and I love the water, and this met both of our wants. The lake in the background of the ceremony is so pretty, and this lake can also be seen in the reception space. And it's a golf course so my husband was happy about that. Ha! When we were initially looking for a venue, we reached out to a few other local golf courses, but Amy was prompt in her response and I could tell from our first few initial emails that Bucks Run was going to be the place for us. The food is AMAZING (I only wish we could take leftovers). The staff was AMAZING and super kind to all of our guests. And Amy was AMAZING. She was always quick to respond, even when I wasn't expecting a quick reply. Her answers were always clear, and she made sure that we had everything we wanted for our big day. I cannot recommend this venue enough. You won't regret it!
