First off... The venue itself is very nice. We feel it was very high priced and that their "$1000 off" promotion was ridiculous, taking the venue itself from $6495 down to $5495... Especially when they charge so much for everything else. There is mandatory coordinator that they charge you $850 for, they also charge $400 for the bridal room and the $400 for the groom room for the day of, they misled us into thinking that we would be able to provide our own alcohol, which we find out after signing the contract that they "don't allow that anymore" and that the girl who showed us the venue "was mistaken". We had 110 people there, and the bill just for Chapman Hill was $10,215...That did not include ANY of the vendors. Again, its very pretty place to get married...We loved it! BUT...here are the reasons we give them 3 stars and not 5... 1.) You pay $400 for each the bride and groom cabins for the day ($800), and they literally took our stuff out of the rooms starting at 6pm, when we had a 5pm ceremony. When we expressed our concerns, Susan sharply says, "Its in the contract. Its in the contract."...not even allowing me get anything out of my mouth. She then continues, "We need to get everything out so that our cleaning people can come. Also, we don't want anything left behind, so thats why we do it this way." I can tell you...things were left behind, things were lost, and it cost us money. 2.) The groom's cabin...nobody bothered to turn on the heat before we arrived. We started arriving at 10am the morning of the ceremony to a cabin that was 45 degrees...not kidding. By the time 6pm rolled around, temperature inside was at 62 degrees. Also, though the bridal cabin was probably well worth the $400, that grooms cabin was NOT! Hardly any space to get ready, they have 4 TVs on the wall, which seems cool, until you go to change the channel and they all use the same Roku remote...hahaha. We finally just gave up on the cabin and walked outside. 3.) LISTEN...YOU HAD BETTER INSPECT AND TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING YOU USE THAT IS THEIRS. 3 weeks after our wedding, I get an email from Don, the owner, stating that someone from our party damaged their "plastic wicker" furniture. He sent me pictures and the damage that was done, there is no way that anyone from our party caused that. There were full strands of the plastic missing, pieces obviously cut very sharply off to remove hanging strands...this damage was done throughout the life of that furniture. Bottom line, when raised that concern, they charged me for it anyway, taking it out of my deposit. 3 weeks later, and how many events after ours, and they bill us. They probably charged everyone else too...got themselves new "wicker" furniture from Lowes. 4.) The $850 for the coordinator, meh. The coordinator was nice and all, you're sold a bill of goods that she will always keep a drink in your hand, we won't have to worry about anything, "I'll be here making sure everything goes smoothly,"...Not really. We had to get our own drinks, we find out 3 weeks later furniture "was damaged by our group", shoot...As the groom, I only interacted with her 4 times that whole day. We had to ask if we could go down to the fridge and grab a few beers. LOL. Oh Well. Just know, that although the owners are super sweet and nice up to the day of the ceremony, giving you premarital booklets, super responsive, explaining "everything" to you, when push comes to shove, they are running a business, and you are a paycheck. read more

Chapman Hill was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. There was a natural progression from the outdoor ceremony under a large tree with beautiful pastures in the surrounding area to cocktail hour under a pavilion and then to the reception in their beautiful reception hall. The reception hall had plenty of room for our 125 guests, a DJ, a bar, a dance floor, and separate tables for the cake, gifts, and activities. The owners and staff were very accommodating and ensured that our every need was met. The bridal suite and newly completed groom's suite provided perfect accommodations for everyone to prepare for the wedding and a place for family to crash after the evening reception. If you are looking for the perfect venue for your wedding ceremony, look no further than Chapman Hill Weddings + Events. read more

Coming from out-of-state I wasn't really sure what to expect attending a wedding in north Georgia. We drove up from Atlanta the morning of and got a hotel in Commerce which is close to the venue. The Establishment itself is Charming and had plenty of space for the guests to Mill around and check out the property. The staff working were very pleasant and bent over backwards to take care of everybody. I think I can speak for all the gas and saying that we had a great time here and would definitely attend another function at this particular place. read more

We had a fabulous time here for our event. I was not sure what to expect during Covid it was my first event venturing out. The outdoor venue was just perfect! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The grounds are meticulously cared for and the trees are beautiful. The hosts were gracious and took such interest in us. My favorite was the historic truck that we took some great photos on. I can't wait to go back! read more

We attended a dinner and wine tasting event here tonight. We really enjoyed the atmosphere! We will definitely be back. The food from the catered kitchen was amazing and the wines paired from public square wine market were perfect. I'm not personally a wine person and would love to have some beer choices but the wine went very well with the food. I can't wait for the next event!! read more

This is the perfect setting for any event you wish to have- garden wedding, black tie, casual ceremony, company outing, family reunion, evening with friends or anything in between. The owners are kind and go above and beyond to make your event what you dream. It's also an indoor + outdoor venue if you're looking for something to help with COVID compliance. They also recently made some renovations and upgrades, can't wait to get back and see what they've done. read more

Preparation Day - Below are some details of our Walnut Hill Farms experience * Green non-working algae pond with blue filter on a hand pole - I had to ask staff to clean the pond, add water, put shock in it and turn it on immediately so it would look nice for the wedding day (next day) for the photos -- their response was the pond has a leak and they didn't know we planned for pictures at the waterfall and pond even though I specifically said it to the host when viewing the facility. Also, who would not want to have pictures there? Per the agreement, the pond/waterfall is available for pictures. * The fire pit at the waterfall was full of rain water. I had to ask for the water to poured out of the fire pit - their response was the fire pit pan is hot (due to the sun) * There were multiple dead roaches or wood bugs on the reception hall floor that scared my granddaughter so I had to clean them up * Cob webs in the facility corners, bathrooms and cabinets so the wedding planner asked staff to clean them - staff responded stating they didn't know the cabinets would be used and had no explanation for the others. * Dirty windows and mirrors - the wedding planner asked the staff to clean multiple times - staff expressed frustration but did clean them * Linens were not on the tables during first 2.5 hours of setup so I began putting the linens on so we could proceed with the setup of tables - staff began to help after we asked multiple times * No extra toilet paper in restrooms so my daughter had to ask for more to be put in the restroom - staff put additional paper in the restrooms * During rehearsal-- 4 venue family members sat on the front porch making us feel rushed. Rehearsal started at 6:00pm and they turned lights off in reception hall at 6:15pm stating they thought we were done in the reception hall. For the last hour they sat on the porch making us feel rushed and like we had to be done by 7. We had until 8:00pm per our agreement. Wedding Day * No WIFI and very poor cell phone service. No phone available for use. This not safe in case of an emergency. It took over 30 mins and lots of frustration to order pizzas due to the poor/no service. * After the wedding and within the first 10 mins of taking photos, the staff asked if they could begin taking up the last 3 rows of chairs - the wedding planner agreed but the staff removed all but 4 chairs (we stopped them before they took them so the handicapped family members could use them to sit) which was distracting and resulted in not being able to take pictures some of the pictures that was on the photo list * After the event was over at 8:15pm, the family cleaned up the facility. Per the agreement, we had until 11 pm to complete the cleanup. At 8:45pm, the staff seemed to pressure the family to finish up by stating we need to begin cleaning out the bridal suite when we were still cleaning the reception hall. We were done with reception hall by 9:00pm and bridal suite by 10:05 but had until 11:00. * There were 20+ mph winds that broke branches out of live trees that almost hit guests and damaged a guest's truck. When looking at the sign with the onsite manager, she agreed the storm with high winds caused the sign damage - now, the owner is stating the onsite manager is not qualified to make that decision and charged $140 for an old sign that the wind gusts blew down and broke * Bugs were bad outside so we had to purchase bug spray and make it available at the ceremony and cocktail hour. * What is the definition of excessive cleaning? Mopping where a beer was spilled and wiping off a piece of furniture is considered excessive clean up and charged 2 hours at $100/hr which is inexcusable for a simple wipe with a wet cloth or mop read more
