    If the picturesque views and fabulous barn weren't enough, our tour with Jocelyn absolutely sealed the deal. As a queer couple, navigating the wedding industry was a frustrating process as so many aspects are steeped in what is "traditional". Many venues didn't know what to do when they realized we were two brides and not a bride and a groom. Jocelyn, however, did not bat an eye or miss a beat. She was welcoming, warm, and made us feel special as a couple and we are eternally grateful. Throughout the planning process Jocelyn was helpful and quick to respond and full of good information! On the day of, she drove us around the property to get photos in different vistas like a boxwood tunnel and wooded riverside! The property itself is stunning and we were so glad to be able to house our wedding party and family here for the whole weekend!! Thank you so much for working with us and making our wedding weekend so perfect!

    Avon Hill was honestly the best venue we could have asked for. We only had 45 guests and the lodge housed about half of our guests which made the weekend that much more intimate. The views were absolutely amazing and the hospitality was just as great, Jocelyn was very prompt and willing to answer any and all of our questions and very accommodating to someone who added each lodge separately lol!!! The lodges had everything you could think of and Bruce's Barn was just amazing. It fit our group so perfectly and photographed so beautifully!

  • The perfect venue for us!

    I can't say enough good things about Avon Hill. The venue landscape and barn are soo beautiful on their own, our wedding required very little decor. It was important to us that our wedding party and family stay on the property. Having the lodge there made our wedding weekend that much more amazing. Jocelyn was soo amazing to work with. She was very quick to respond and answered all of my question no matter how ridiculous they were. I just can't say enough good things. This venue is amazing!

    I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a venue than working with Sarah and Jocelyn. They were very easy to communicate with, whether it was setting up our payment plan or the weekend of setting up the ceremony and reception sites, they were always easy to get ahold of and easy to work with. We rented the Lodge the weekend of my wedding as well as the bridal suite for an extra night, which ended up being the perfect accommodations.
