Testimonials

Working with the Hops company was seamless and left my wedding planning mind at ease! Alexia, Anna and the entire team was extremely helpful from the start of our experience. The venue itself offers everything one would need for a one stop shop from ceremony to reception to after party. Right before our ceremony, the skies turned dark and Anna was confident it would only be a blip and the entire THC team was ready to transition under the tent if needed. She should honestly have a side job as a Meteorologist because she knew exactly how long the rain would last and provided me the extra boost of assurance I needed. The rain cleared within 10 minutes and we were able to do our ceremony outside despite my doubts. She kept me calm, cool and collected the entire evening and everything went off without a hitch. I can't recommend THC enough for making our wedding day perfect. Their entire team was extremely professional and well coordinated. Thank you again THC, it was an amazing experience from planning to execution!

My husband wanted a brewery wedding; I wanted a beautiful wedding. We were lucky enough to stumble upon THC during our search and found the perfect culmination of what we both were looking for. The grounds are stunning, the accommodations are customizable, and the team, headed up by Anna, are tremendous. They have a back-up plan to the back-up plan should anything go awry, but most likely it won't. You won't be disappointed if you book this venue.

Heather and Trevor, August 2022
We had our wedding at The Garden at the Hops on August 27th, 2022. We had the absolute best experience ever! Anna and her staff were beyond professional and always made sure my husband and I were taken care of and enjoying ourselves. All of our guests raved about the venue and how beautiful and spacious it was. There was a place for everyone to be, between the bonfire, the corn hole boards, the barn to keep cool or the dance floor, everyone as doing something. Thank you to all of the staff at The Hops Company for our most favorite days of our lives. We with we could redo the day every day because of how perfect it was!

I can't say enough about how awesome it was to get married here! The grounds are beautiful, Anna was so helpful through the whole process it made it so easy for me and helping my visions come to life! She helped us every step of the way, communication was awesome, and service during our wedding was phenomenal. It was truly a dream come true. The vey exceeded out expectations, the staff was so friendly and awesome. I can't say enough great things about getting married at The Garden at the Hops or THC in general. Guests are still gushing over our wedding 3 weeks later saying it was the most fun they had in years and it was the BEST wedding they have ever gone to.

Courtney & Justin, June 2022
All I can say is the venue speaks for itself and pictures do not do it justice. I decided to take the hour drive down and fell in love instantly. The grounds are breathtaking and having everything at one location was perfect for the day we were planning. The way that you can customize your special day at this venue is so invaluable. The bridal suite was an added bonus and was really heartwarming way to start the day. Alexia and team the day of the event could not have been more accommodated, making sure every need was met. Honestly, everything was perfect. Having the biergarten below for the after party was such a fun add-on as well. Thank you so much!
