More About This Package
This package is our most popular, for the couple who wants to be fully present on their wedding day while we handle every detail of wedding planning for up to 30 of your family and friends.

All the senses are touched with this all-inclusive selection. Abundant nature scenes fill the eyes while the sounds of the creek and birdsong floats on the air. The touch of your lover’s hands during the ceremony will give you chills, and the charcuterie with mocktails will delight the tastebuds. These are only a few of the moments that will create everlasting, romantic memories.
Packed with amenities, this package is customizable to remove items you may not need, or add elements to make your wedding experience even more special.
Commonly Asked Questions About This Package
Can this package be used for other events?
Yes, the Everlasting Memories package at Honeysuckle Hills can be used for a variety of other events listed below. If your event does not require a ceremony officiant, there’s a $175 discount.
• Family Reunion
• Vow Renewal (Officiant required unless you simply read vows to each other)
Which Ceremony Site Can I Choose?
You may choose any of our ceremony sites as long as it accommodates your guest count.
If you choose our mountain adventure site, it’s strictly limited to couples only since we drive you there in our Jeep. But no worries, we have a family friendly mountain view with an easily accessible parking area if you have your heart set on a view. Parking is limited to twelve vehicles, so carpooling is essential if your guest count exceeds 30 people. Our mountain view is only a quick, one minute drive from the main grounds.
What if it rains?
If it rains on the day of your wedding, you’ll be able to use our chapel upstairs or the Creekside Pavilion for your ceremony. In addition to those areas, the balcony and lower level of the barn can be used for wedding photographs. Clear umbrellas are provided for photos as long as dangerous lightning is not present.
Who will officiate my wedding?
You may choose from our list of preferred officiants, based on their availability. “Legendary” Phil King is a favorite for Christian services & country lovers. Abi, who is also a wedding coordinator here, officiates Christian & civil services with high energy & smiles. Regina officiates our LGBTQ ceremonies with love. Mr. Dennis is the favorite officiant for first responders because of his service to the local community. We also offer a retired Methodist pastor and a “mountain man” persona for your wedding.
Can I bring my own officiant?
Yes, you may use your own ceremony officiant at Honeysuckle Hills and we will provide a $175 discount on your all-inclusive wedding package.
How Do I Get my Marriage License?
We have an entire “how to” section in our Honeysuckle Hills Venue Resource Guide, along with a helpful blog article.
Who counts as a guest?
Anyone of walking age except the two of you counts as a guest. Yes, children especially count!
Can I bring more than 30 guests with the Everlasting Romance package?
Yes, you can bring up to 50 guests with this package if you add more time. We recommend at least 30 more minutes for every 10 additional guests. For example, if you have between 31 and 40 guests, add 30 more minutes of time.
Extra venue time is $900 per hour.
Don’t forget the extra photography time for $500 per hour if you book this package with one of our professional photographers and feel you need more time.
You only have to add extra venue time if you are using your own photographer.
Ask Regina for help with the perfect timeline to include all the events and photos you desire with the number of guests invited.
How do I choose my Photographer?
If you choose a package with photography, Honeysuckle Hills has a preferred list of professional photographers to choose from, based on their availability. We have carefully selected them over the years based on their excellence in customer service and creative photography skills. Getting on this list is not easy! Our couples mean the world to us, so we recommend only the very best.
If you choose a package without a professional photographer, you are welcome to use anyone you wish.. If you add the session with our horses running and approaching close enough to touch, your photographer must provide us with a copy of their liability insurance listing Honeysuckle Hills, LLC, as additionally insured.
What areas can I use for photos?
You may use any areas at Honeysuckle Hills for photos, as long as it can be done within the time you reserve. The number of locations you’ll be able to fit in depends on things like what you’re wearing, how well you take direction, if you’re free spirited or “type A,” your photographer’s skill level & style, how long your ceremony & other events take and how many guests are present.
It takes an average couple in full wedding attire approximately three minutes to walk from the barn’s exit on our main grounds to the swing in the sycamore tree. There are photo locations all along this walk.
If you begin your journey from just inside the barn you’ll find, in order:
• An antique stove in the barn’s entry
• A rustic chandelier near the barn’s exit doors
• Red barn walls & concrete steps used for posing
• Covered Balcony
• Creekside pavilion with chandelier
• Turning Waterwheel
• Horse field with an old truck (and horses!)
• Stone archway & seasonal flower gardens
• Hobbit house in a wooded area
• Willow tree
• Creek that runs the entire length of our property
• Willow tree bridge
• Miniature pond waterfall
• Wooden arbor & seasonal gardens
• Swing in a sycamore tree
Allow at least 5 to 10 minutes at each photo location listed above, depending on your photographer’s vision, attention to detail, and skill level. Keep in mind sometimes photographers see an entirely unique perspective and may use an area no one else has even thought of. Give them some creative liberty!
Allow at least 10 to 15 minutes for pictures inside the field with the horses & old truck. There is no extra fee if the horses are in the background ONLY. There is an additional $299 fee if you’d like the horses to run around you and approach close enough to touch, and you must either use one of our recommended photographers or yours must be able to provide a copy of their liability insurance.
Family Group Photo time averages between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the outdoor temperature, number of people, how well they pay attention, and your photographer’s skill level.
Our mountain view areas are a quick, one minute drive from our main grounds. One mountain view location has its own parking area, but the adventure site is for couples only and we’ll drive you & your photographer up the hill in our jeep.
Allow at least 20 to 30 minutes for photos at any of the mountain view locations, including the travel time & getting in and out of your vehicle.
Allow at least 30 minutes for fine art photography sets such as lighting fire, spraying water for “rain,”setting up multiple props, etc.
Can I add more photography time?
Yes, more photography time can be added to any package, but it must equal the same amount of venue time.
If you are using one of our preferred photographers in your package, add $500 per hour for each additional hour of photo time.
For example, this package includes six hours of venue time, but the option with our photographer includes four hours. You may add two more hours of photography for $1000 without adding extra venue time. If photography time exceeds the included venue time, you are required to add more venue time for $900 per hour to match it.
If you choose the option to use your own photographer, simply hire them for as long as you wish during the included six hours of venue time.
Can I bring extra decor with the Everlasting Romance package?
Yes, you may bring any of the following and your day-of-coordinator will set them up for you:
• Unity (handfasting, cross, sand, etc.) & We’ll set it up on one of our tables
• Welcome Signs, and we’ll use our easel or yours
• Memory photos for the entry way or a ceremony chair
• Full size petals to toss

Honeysuckle Tradition
I’m Regina, and I look forward to helping you plan your special day! Couples just like you have helped me carry on a legacy of love for the past 20 years. At one time my venue was a working farm where my Daddy raised cattle and tobacco. As much as I enjoyed growing up here, I sure do enjoy weddings more than farming!
My venue’s down-to-earth love for the simple things in life attracts outdoor lovers, travelers, adventurers, hunters, fishers, hikers, all skin colors, faiths, LGBTQ, and free spirited souls with an abundance of respect for diversity.
I can’t wait to celebrate your unique love story!
