From the reviews
You know those venues that look picture perfect on Instagram and sound too good to be true and then you get there and realize it was all filters and selective memory? The Highlands Estate is not one of those venues.
The Highlands Estate is such a stunning venue! Our guests were raving about how beautiful everything was. Whitney and Gard were so helpful and communicative. I highly recommend this venue!
My husband and I recently got married at the Highlands Estate, and it really was a dream venue! It was only the second venue we toured, but we knew almost instantly that it was the place for us. Whitney and Gard have truly thought of every detail.
The Highlands is a beautiful, well maintained wedding venue! We had our wedding here on 10.1.2021 below the Oak Tree. The only think more beautiful than the setting was my wife :) There's several great spots to the venue: the Oak tree, the usual ceremony spot (what we used as the cocktail hour), the patio outside the…
Getting married at The Highlands Estate
The Highlands Estate comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to 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?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues 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 The Highlands Estate
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Highlands Estate — barn 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.
