About Robin Hills Farm
Along with weddings, Robin Hills Farm often hosts holiday events, sustainability workshops, and more. The farm is dedicated to environmental stewardship, and was designed to preserve the natural landscape surrounding the farm. The 129 acre estate uses solar power, and offers visitors, couples, and wedding guests a chance to explore three miles of trails through the woodland, wetland, and grassy meadow that serve as a habitat for birds, reptiles, and other wildlife! You can also get a visit from some of the farm’s sheep, goats, and chickens.
The idyllic setting, eco-friendly practices, and the peaceful, remote feeling of Robin Hills Farm make this a perfect wedding venue for any nature loving couple!

The amphitheater provides a large stage with seating built into the natural landscape of the farm, creating a versatile space to say your vows! It’s surrounded by trees, creating a contrast between the greenery and the theater. If you’re envisioning an “au naturale” wedding, this might be the ceremony space for you!
The Glasshouse
If you’re dreaming of a modern greenhouse wedding, look no further! The Glasshouse offers a unique ceremony venue – the house is made of glass all around, with a patio extending the space outdoors. You can host your entire event here or hold your ceremony in the Glasshouse and move your reception to the barn. It also makes a great backup plan if the weather doesn’t cooperate for an outdoor ceremony.
The Prairie House
In the middle of Robin Hills Farm’s 129 acres is the Prairie House; it has a commercial grade kitchen, private rooms, and a gathering space. With wood paneled ceilings, the building incorporates a hint of natural charm in its modern industrial design. Outside on the patio, you’ll have sweeping views of the picturesque Dragon Pond! It’s the perfect reception space for any couple envisioning a modern space surrounded by beautiful scenery.
The Pasture Barn
The adorable rustic barn, made from sustainably sourced lumber, opens on three sides for a cozy, but open, space to host your reception. The second floor is complete with a room for the wedding party to get ready, with ample space and natural light, along with couches and big mirrors!
In House Coordinator
To ensure that everything goes smoothly, the venue provides an in-house coordinator who knows the space inside and out! They’ll be able to help you make your vision come to life, from finding the perfect spot for your ceremony to customizing decorations for your unique day. On your wedding day, your coordinator will be there to ensure that everything is running smoothly, so that you don’t have to worry about a single thing – other than getting married!
A Dog Friendly Venue
