Why settle for a single reception space when you can turn your wedding into a multi-experience event? With 17 acres to play with, Chapman Hill is the perfect venue for a festival-style wedding, complete with multiple food trucks or interactive food stations, lounge areas, fire pits, and outdoor games, a silent disco or live band for all-night dancing.
It’s a wedding meets a music festival, and your guests will never stop talking about it.
