    From the moment we first contacted Terrapin Hill Farm, we were impressed by the personal, attentive, and thoughtful communication from Brenda and Pete. Their rustic, charming, and awe-inspiring venue created a magical setting for our wedding day. Brenda went above and beyond to organize everyone and make the day breeze by, while Pete was so on top of his duties as officiant, chauffeur, hay ride conductor, and bonfire master. It truly felt like we were being supported by friends and family every step of the way, and the weekend was more beautiful than we ever dreamed. You absolutely will not regret using terrapin as your wedding venue!

    Terrapin Hill Farm was an absolute delight to work with for our 4-day camping wedding and music festival. Their communication style was prompt and succinct, and the quality of their work was unsurpassed. The team was attentive to upkeep, and we never saw any trash on the property - they were clearly proud of their magical venue. Brenda, Pete, and Jonah were always in the right place at the right time, anticipating our needs and being helpful and courteous to all of our guests without being prompted or asked to. In the planning process, the Terrapin Hill Farm team was solution-oriented, expert communicators, and proactive in calling attention to best practices from their prior experience. They were always willing to work with us, even on the crazy things we asked of them, and when something wasn't possible, they offered alternative suggestions. Brenda and Pete (the owners) are the consummate of hosts. They seamlessly and gracefully allow all guests to feel welcome on their little slice of magic of land. They were professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Going above and beyond to be hospitable and showcase their beautiful property for others to enjoy. I hope to be able to host more events there in the coming years.

    Terrapin Hill Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The communication with the team was very good - they were easy to reach and always got back to us quickly about any questions or concerns. The space was perfect for what we were looking for, with a beautiful farm surrounded by trees and woods. It was so simple and eloquent. They were wonderful people to organize with, and we didn't need much but they were hands-on with anything we asked. They had chairs set up by the location we chose to get married, gave us full access to the farmhouse for eating and getting ready, and even offered to give me a ride to the stage in a nice car. If you are looking for a quiet nook in the heart of nature to get married, this place is perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything else. We thank the entire Terrapin Hill Farm team for providing us with such a special experience.
