From the reviews
I just had my wedding here and it was absolutely stunning! The staff is excellent, the gardens and waterfall are beautiful, and the bridal cabin was a perfect place to get ready for the wedding. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding!
We are at the Wedding Venue today and it is absolutely beautiful! It is very clean and well situated. There are a handful of small areas for guests to check out like the waterfall and backyard area. It has an indoor bar and a big white tent for dinner.
The Garden at the Hops was the perfect venue for my daughter's wedding. She and her fiance were looking for an outdoor, tented garden setting and it was ideal. We were blown away by how stunning the venue was...
Photographing a wedding at The Lodge at the Hops was such a positive experience. The venue itself feels warm, relaxed, and inviting and really the kind of space where couples can truly settle into the day rather than feel rushed from one moment to the next. What stood out most to us was the venue staff.
Getting married at THC The Hops Company
THC The Hops Company comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at THC The Hops Company
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at THC The Hops Company — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
