My husband I were married at Serenity Hills this past Summer. Serenity Hills is an absolutely beautiful location and their amenities are top notch. We loved being able to have the venue both Friday and Saturday, it made the weekend entirely stress-free. They are family owned and operated and they were all very friendly and accommodating, great people to work with! We also loved having our family and wedding party stay all together at their accommodations which are near by, The Cabins. We totally recommend Serenity Hills and very thankful we chose to get married there! Reviewed on 01-01-2024

She is very tentative and easy to get ahold of, and answer any questions you may have!We cannot thank Tori, her family, and her staff enough for everything. It was spectacular and we wouldn’t have changed a thing!!! Nothing but amazing things were said about the beautiful venue by our guests. Couldn't say enough amazing things about this beautiful venue.

Sara Mensink(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2023 Serenity Hills was the perfect venue for our special day! The pavilion itself is absolutely stunning. All of the accommodations are icing on the cake. Their staff was great to work with. They work with you on bar service, table layout, shuttle service, offer recommendations on vendors, and the list goes on! They set up & tear down all of the tables and chairs just how you like so it saves you a ton of time. The bridal suite & grooms den were the perfect spot for us to get ready. Getting married outside surrounded by rolling hills was absolutely breathtaking. We received so many compliments about how beautiful our venue was. We are so happy that we got married at Serenity Hills. It was one of the easiest decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Reviewed on 30-05-2023

Cheri Deruiter(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2022 What an amazing venue! I was awe struck when my daughter brought me out to tour this venue, and even more in awe after talking with Tori and realizing that her family would do everything they could to make my daughter’s dreams come true on her wedding day. Unlike some places who rush you in and out, here, you have the venue from Friday morning until Sunday; they truly made us feel like this was our home for the weekend and they were there to make us comfortable. The ceremony was held outdoors where the archway alter was framed by the rows of corn in the background. My favorite part was the reception! Again, we were made to feel at home and this was our place to entertain our friends and family. There were people playing bean bags and frisbee, kids enjoying all of the space to run around, there were people roasting marshmellows and making smores at the firepit and others enjoying the beautiful evening at the outdoor seating around yet another firepit. Inside, which was open allowing everyone to feel a part of everything, was the DJ and dance which everyone enjoyed as well. This venue was absolutely perfect for my daughter and her husband, and I would highly recommend this place!! Thank you Serenity Hills for making my daughter’s dreams come true!!

Kalli VanderMarliere(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2022 The first time we toured Serenity Hills we knew instantly this is where we wanted to have our wedding! The venue is jaw dropping!A side from how stunning the venue is, it is a family run business, and we were amazed with how organized and helpful they all were. From our first tour to our wedding day, Tori was so helpful. I bothered her with a ton of emails regarding questions about our big day and every time she got back to me within a couple of days. Weeks before the wedding, Tori helped us plan out exactly how we wanted the venue to look in regard to the tables and chairs. The day before the wedding, Serenity Hills sets up all the tables and chairs exactly how you had planned out with Tori. The groom's den was a perfect spot for the guys to hang out and have lunch prior to the ceremony. And the bridal suite is absolutely stunning. Plenty of space for hair/makeup artist to come in and do their magic! Also, a nice huge harvest table to sit around and hang out and enjoy food while the ladies get ready.We had our ceremony outside and being surrounded by all the corn fields, it was so peaceful and intimate. The DJ set up a speaker, so everyone was able to hear the ceremony even with outdoor weather! It was absolutely perfect to have the big garage doors open on our wedding day, there was a nice breeze that blew through, and they made it feel like an indoor/outdoor reception. During social hour and the reception, we had people outside playing bean bags, throwing frisbee, out by the firepit roasting marshmallows. There were people sitting at the high-top tables under the pagoda, people dancing to the DJ and people sitting at the tables inside. We had never seen a wedding like this before where people were scattered around the entire pavilion doing different things, just enjoying our wedding! Serenity Hills does such an amazing job making sure you are enjoying your wedding day! It was so helpful not having to worry about restocking toilet paper or taking out the garbage at the end of the night. They are willing to work with you in ANY way to ensure your envision comes true! We felt as though the venue was ours for the weekend. We honestly felt like friends with the Serenity Hills team after our wedding because they care so much about you and your husband! Hands down we would recommend Serenity Hills to ALL of our friends and family. We have nothing but amazing things to say about the team and the venue. Reviewed on 07-08-2022
David Glover(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 If only there were 6 stars...! My wife and I honestly have nothing bad to say about Serenity Hills, only that we could not have found a better place. It's conveniently off of Hwy 52, so people travelling from the cities can easily get to the venue. The city of Preston is beautiful and there are Hotels and things to do near the venue. The family who run the venue are extremely helpful, attentive, and professional and will work with you to make sure you have a flawless experience. They are very good at communicating with you which is a big factor in reducing stress before the big day! It was also nice to not feel pressure to decorate so much due to the natural beauty of the surroundings!We both would highly suggest Serenity Hills as the site for your wedding! You will not be disappointed! Reviewed on 11-10-2021

The grooms den is a great spot for the guys to hang out in. The bathrooms are so clean! There is so much space outside for to host the ceremony, we did not take advantage of this since we wanted a church wedding but if we would have it would have been beautiful. The patio with tables and chairs along with the fire pit area provided additional areas for our guests to take advantage of.

We had so many compliments on how beautiful our venue and how comfortable the atmosphere was. The design is almost rustic chic, reminds me of Magnolia. You can tell there was so much thought put into each detail. I can’t even begin to describe how special this day was and I truly believe the venue and the people that run it played a huge role in that. Would highly recommend this venue. It’s name is exactly on point, Serenity Hills.
