I can not recommend Ashton Hill enough! Our day was absolutely perfect! Our day of coordinator was MJ and I can honestly say we couldn’t have done it without her. She was so helpful, kind, and took so much of the wedding planning stress away! Ashton Hill is absolutely beautiful and all of the staff were so kind. We could not have asked for a better experience! The guests could not stop talking about how amazing Ashton Hill was!

Got married at Ashton Hill in Cedar Rapids 11/04/23 and cannot say enough good things about this venue! Everyone involved, especially of DOC, Ashley, were heavily invested in making sure our day went perfectly. Strong communication throughout. We felt so support by everyone there. Highly recommend to anyone getting married in Iowa.

I cannot say enough great things about Ashton Hill Galena. Everyone we interacted with from their vendor connections to the waitstaff was incredibly kind, so much so that our guests took notice as well. We live in the Chicago Suburbs and had to plan from afar and they were so helpful every step of the way. Our coordinator Ashley made every detail seamless and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of (including personally delivering 25 pizzas to our reception for us). I would recommend this venue over and over again.

I wish I could give this review a 10/10 because that's what Ashton Hill Farm in Cedar Rapids deserves! I couldn't recommend this venue enough. It truly has it all: beautiful indoor and outdoor space, spacious bridal and groom suites, thoughtful and dedicated staff, affordable pricing. It was one of the best decisions we made involving our wedding.One of the main reasons our experience with Ashton Hill Farm was so great was our DOC, MJ. She truly made our day go so smoothly and we didn't have to worry about anything; we were able to be so present throughout the whole day. She handled all the vendor coordination while working with us to ensure all the decor was set up the way we want along with brought her own ideas in areas we might not have thought through as much during planning. I wish all couples would get to have MJ with them on their day! If you are questioning hiring a DOC or not, DO IT and I promise you won't regret it :)All photos were taken by Forever Green Studios!

My husband and I had our dream wedding at Ashton Hill Farm! Ashley M was our coordinator and we truly couldn’t have done it without her. We met with Ashley a few times throughout the year and she always responded to my random questions very quickly via email. She handled all of the vendor coordination while working with us to ensure all the decor was set up the way we wanted it. The day was stress free and everything turned out to be perfect. We would recommend Ashton Hill Farm and Ashley to anyone!

Ashton Hill is an excellent wedding venue. I was DJ at an event 7/8/23 and very much enjoyed the entire experience. Maddie and her team were kind, accessible and on point the whole time. I highly recommend this place for couples planning a wedding and looking for a rustic vibe with all the modern amenities.

Ashton Hill Farm, and especially our Day of Coordinator MJ, were amazing for our special day. They were awesome about checking in throughout the whole process and accommodated our busy schedules many times so we could see the venue in person to plan and discuss. We cannot say enough about MJ, who respected and carried out our vision perfectly the whole planning and actual day. She put in extra time to make sure everything ran perfectly and was an advocate for our wants and needs during such a hectic day. She checked in on us throughout the day and even got us extra food and drinks so we wouldn’t have to go through the lines. We can’t say enough good things about her. Ashton Hill as a venue is stunning, the bridal and groom suites are such an excellent touch, and everything looked amazing. The views at sunset were some of my absolute favorites! We got many compliments from guests saying this was the best venue they’ve ever been to. The only thing I would perhaps say is that you do not have to go with the vendors and decor they provide through their partnered event company. We did a lot of lesser known, small-town businesses and bought our own decor and this did save us quite a bit on cost. This is nothing against Ashton Hill’s partner companies— just a personal preference! Overall, Ashton Hill was absolutely perfect for our wedding day and MJ was phenomenal. We’d recommend getting married there for anyone!!*all photos owned by Gigi Boucher Photography*

Ashton Hill is a gorgeous venue that is perfect for a wedding! My husband and I were married at Ashton Hill Farm in Cedar Rapids in October 2022. We chose the venue because of how kind the staff was, how gorgeous the indoor layout and outdoor areas are, and because it was reasonably priced compared to other venues in the area.The space itself is perfect. Set in a field, the rustic barn exterior with the white and black accents throughout the interior made the venue an obvious choice. It was easily accessible with room to accommodate even large sized weddings. The bridal suite was spacious and had ample outlets and space for the entire party to get ready. There was also a private bathroom for the bride which was so nice to have some space and privacy. The groom suite was also large and had a TV available with furniture to lounge on.The reception area is open and could be transformed into an indoor ceremony space if the weather wasn’t cooperating. The tables, chairs, and linen were all of nice quality and looked elegant against the large hanging light fixtures. Another great thing about Ashton Hill is the access to decor items for rent. It made the process of decorating for the day so simple. There’s a large catalog of items ranging from table decor to arch ways.We had a pleasant experience from the beginning. From touring the venue, to meeting our venue manager, to the meetings leading up to our big day- all of the staff members were extremely professional and eager to help us have the wedding we were dreaming of.We had the pleasure of working with MJ, who we then had become our Day of Coordinator. MJ was incredibly kind, detail oriented, and efficient. She helped us to locate vendors based on our budget, and got us connected to each one. Once the vendors were selected, she helped to manage and ensure that everything was ready for the day of. She was very knowledgeable about local vendors and gave great recommendations. MJ also was very timely and always responded promptly to any questions that we had. She helped us to create our floor plan based on our number of guests and showed us each way that we could set up the reception area.When it came to the day of, she took care of everything! From the moment we arrived at the venue to get ready, she helped to set out the decorations and walk through the schedule for the day. For the ceremony, she coordinated with our DJ to help ensure that our music and the timing of the wedding party was perfect. MJ helped to relieve the stress of the day, and helped to make our day be perfect. We cannot thank her enough for all that she did for us.

Went here for a friend's daughter's booth at a craft show and was blown away by everything about the venue. Spacious, wide open, beautiful, and clean. It is easily one of the top wedding/event venues in the area. Located off of Highway 13, it is easy to find and plenty of parking. Full bar and just a really nice spot. Several alcoves and nooks throughout. The back garden area is beautiful in itself. If I wasn't already married i would have my wedding here.

I couldn’t say better things about Ashton Hill and the day of coordinators. The staff truly make the whole experience of getting married so stress free. The bartenders were fabulous all night, and always had a smile on their face. Our day of coordinators kept in touch throughout our whole planning process. They offered great advice and figured out how to make all of our dreams for our big day come true. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place and wonderful staff to share this once in a lifetime moment with. Makes us want to get married all over again!

Ashton Hill was a phenomenal venue for our wedding! MJ Colby was our liaison and we hired her as the day of coordinator as well. While we first hesitated at the price, she was worth every cent. Our day was stress free, and she was on top of everything. We cannot thank MJ and the crew at Ashton Hill enough for their work in making our big day go off without a hitch.
