The "Top of the Knob"
The turtle shell-shaped hill behind the old farmhouse (which gives the farm it's name) has an amazing view of the countryside in every direction. Just a short walk up from the pavilion, it's also accessible by vehicle if necessary. You'll feel like you're on top of the world when you say your I-do's here!

The "Chapel Stage"
|
This beautiful stage was handmade from cedar trees harvested from the woods nearby. Its rugged and majestic beauty is certainly a unique setting for your ceremony. The open back lets the greenery of the surrounding trees show through for a beautiful kind of decor only nature can provide. It is also just a short walk from the pavilion and parking area. The stage area has electricity and is plenty large enough for a full band to set up if you choose to have your entertainment happen here later in the evening, and there's also a spot for a bonfire nearby. If you want "unique" and a ceremony everyone will remember, this is the spot for you.

Or anywhere else!
It's your choice where you have your ceremony, and there are so many location to choose from... in the woods, near a pond, a field, a playground... we've got it all! The venue has so many beautiful sites, the hard part is choosing just one. But of course photos can be taken anywhere and it's our pleasure to give your photographer a tour of the property so they can pick some places suitable for you.

The Pavilion
The 40'x60' pavilion can hold up to 200 people for a sit-down dinner; for smaller groups there is plenty of room for dancing too. It's rustic like a barn but more open and airy. Inside the pavilion, rope lights, Christmas lights and large paper lantern lights provide plenty of ambiance, and you can add any decorations you'd like. We'll pull the curtains closed if the weather doesn't cooperate, but clear panels in the curtains still let in plenty of natural light. Your band or DJ can set up on the movable stage at one end or in a corner. Accessible restrooms are close by, as is a grassy area that provides plenty of space for parking. There's a bonfire pit just below the pavilion for late-night fun, and kids of all ages enjoy the nearby playground.

The Farmhouse
The 100 year old farmhouse, located near the entrance to the property, is used only for events at Terrapin Hill Farm. It has recently been renovated and refurnished, and features a large modern kitchen, one and a half baths, and the bedrooms upstairs are available for your bridal party to get dressed in. It's equipped with heat and air conditioning and is a comfortable place to relax before or after the festivities. The deck and yard in the back is also a great place to have your rehearsal dinner!

Farm owners Pete and Brenda not only provide your wedding venue, but offer other services as well. Pete is an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church and can officiate weddings; Brenda offers day-of wedding coordination to make your event run smoothly. We can also bartend, run shuttles back and forth to Harrodsburg in our 15-passenger van, and provide extra help with set up or break down if needed.
What truly makes our farm a unique wedding venue is that we do not put a time limit on the festivities. Many couples choose our location because they can invite their guests to camp overnight, and we keep the bonfire burning as long as someone is there to enjoy it. If the farm isn't busy with another event, you can come decorate anytime the day before and clean up the day after.

The farm is easy to get to and very centrally located between Lexington, Louisville and Frankfort - a plus when family and friends are coming from all directions.
