Hill Ridge Farms

We had planned a small gathering for our family and close friends right before the holidays at the Event Center at Hill Ridge's Farm. It's a really fun place to go, especially during the spirng and early summer. The Event Center is really nice, and it was the perfect size for our family. It can hold 80 people easily, but we were around 60 with Nate' s family and friends as well as my family and friends. The event center is very affordable, and there is a kitchen there for use. They can put you in contact with a caterer, or you can bring your own food. We had plates made in town, and heated up a few dishes once we got there. They also have an audio system for rent in addition to the room, which we opted for. Having a microphone and also a sound system means you can play music for dancing, and then you can also give a speech without having to yell. I liked that it was so casual and that we had the whole place to ourselves. It's also a great place if family members or friends have young children, because you can turn them lose (something you can't do at a fancy restuarnt or hall). I can see this being the perfect place for a small wedding party, too. The room is really pretty.
