We had our wedding at The Barn on Walnut Hill in September of 2022, and it was the most perfect day imaginable. Stunning outdoor setting, beautiful grounds/patio for cocktail hour, and a big, spacious barn for our reception. Essie and Mike were amazing hosts, and it was so fantastic to have the grounds for the weekend to enjoy as a couple and with close friends. Wish we could relive this every year!
