EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews payton hadaller2025-07-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The space was beautifully maintained yet still natural, giving us the perfect backdrop for both candid photos and our big reveal moment. There was a charming clearing where we set up our decorations and balloon arch, and the way the sunlight filtered through the trees made everything feel warm and glowing.

We were able to accommodate the perfect amount of guests, about 100, with banquet style ceremony seating which enabled us to have an easy transition into our reception! Abby and Ashley made everything seamless and were so responsive throughout the entire process. The venue’s natural light and secluded location made the perfect backdrop for our special day. Emily McIntosh2025-07-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gorgeous spot for smaller weddings (200 people max). Beautiful, brand-new, barn-like style building out in the beautiful countryside. There's a spacious area for the bride and groom to get ready with it's own separate bathroom. The bathrooms for guests are just off that area and are a bit small. This venue is a little off the beaten path, but that's the whole idea. If you're coming from Little Rock, you'll see the sign for the driveway up to it. If you're coming from the opposite direction there's no sign. Luckily we were using Google maps to find our way, and we soon realized we missed the turn. Britney Smotherman2025-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got married Sunday at Once Upon a Hill & I wouldn’t change a thing about it! Everything was perfect, the venue is absolutely stunning! Ashley is incredible & made this experience just absolutely amazing. Anything we needed, any questions we had, she was nothing short of eager to help!

The owners son ended up helping to change the tire and then got to enjoy the rest of the evening at the event. Thanks to Peyton for saving the day with the tire assistance. I couldn’t recommend this place more. Krista Beck2025-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great venue , new to the area very well appointed.
