Everything was too perfect for words and I honestly cannot rave enough about the Emerald Hills venue and staff! The bridal suite and grooms lounge were my personal favorite details about the venue.

I really cannot express my gratitude to EH enough, we had the perfect wedding day at the perfect venue! If we had to do it all over again we would hands down pick Emerald Hills every single time!

Beautiful Venue with Helpful Staff and Lasting Memories!…read more We're so happy we chose Bailey Farms Barn and Venue for our wedding day! The property is absolutely stunning--our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful, peaceful, and picturesque the entire space was. From the open layout to the thoughtful details throughout the venue, it created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The team was helpful and responsive throughout the planning process, and everything came together smoothly. There was a bit of an ordeal navigating the liquor-serving process, which we learned might be a broader issue beyond just the venue itself, but we appreciated their communication and flexibility as we worked through it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so grateful to have shared such an important day in such a magical place. Bailey Farms gave us the space and support to create memories we'll treasure forever.

Wow this venue is incredible! I visited this place as a guest for a wedding. It is absolutely…read morestunning! The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. One of my favorite features it that when you book a wedding here, you get access to the attached houses. So for people coming from out of town, they can stay in the houses for the wedding. Truly a remarkable venue and a great place for a wedding.

There were spacious lounge rooms for groom groomsmen and bride and bridal parties with lots of mirrors and private bathrooms!! Perfect for everyone to get ready in all at once and leave all there stuff safely throughout the day. I did not stop hearing comments from the guests all day about how cute the bathrooms were. There was full changing tables, very family friendly. The lighting was the best I have seen at a venue. There was tons of natural light, the photographer thanks you! When it got dark the lights were beautiful but also actually lit the place up so we weren't sitting in a cave! It was beautiful inside and out, lots of places outside to do pictures. The parking lot is massive and there is easy pull up drop off access for limo or grandparent drop offs. The kitchen is spotless and practical with its own entrance. The owner Dorisa, her husband, and all of the staff were impeccable. I did not meet them until the big day during our first crisis (non existent keg) and they went above and beyond to help. The owners and staff were always present, never difficult to find, and ready to do whatever it took to make the day go off without a hitch. Throughout the whole day I was constantly seeing Dorisa, her husband, and all the staff go above and beyond expectations helping where it was needed, not just required. Overall I was incredibly impressed. It felt like we were being hosted by a family in their gigantic beautiful venue home than renting a space from a business. I don't think it can get much better than that! I strongly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone! Thank you!!!

I had the pleasure of participating in a wedding that was held here recently…read more I dont have all the details of the rental agreement, but here are my take-aways. The house you can rent with the barn is huge. It had enough space and beds to hold the wedding party. The couple had the rehearsal dinner here the night prior to the wedding. We all met at the house, mingled, talked, and had dinner. There is a full kitchen and a butlers kitchen. They cooked dinner right there. Lots of space in this beautiful old house. It was a beautiful October evening so we even hung out in the open garage at a large table. The grounds are spacious. There is a pond and a little road that runs around it to the Barn, which is the venue. The next day we came back for the wedding. The majority of the wedding party had slept over, and stayed in the house. Bride made her way to the barn in the private suite for hair and getting dressed. I am married to one of the groomsmen so I was in charge of a couple little things. I got to talk with the nice staff who were helping get things set up. I asked them to add a couple little things to their honey-do lists before the wedding and they said no problem. I ran around to help and when something came up, they were quick to accommodate and help out. The barn is beautiful. I love the interior and the lighting. It is a barn. Barn doors on both ends, large wood structure with large beams. Details in cast iron and great floor for dancing all made this a great place. Easily holding about 200 people. Ample parking in the field that is mowed to accommodate. The couple catered in and it seemed seamless. Open bar as they have their own liquor license. We dance the night away in the barn under the beautiful tree lighting. The barn doors wide open for cool air. The kids playing on the hay bales right outside the doors. Being this far outside of town you could see stars forever. If I needed a romantic country setting, this is a great choice.
