Our farm is conveniently located six miles south of the courthouse in Bloomington, so it’s close enough to stay in any hotel in Bloomington and Uber back to your hotel if you so choose.

If you’d like a few ideas to get you started - Fourwinds Lakeside Inn and Marina - is south of us and on Lake Monroe, Candlewood Suites is the closest to the farm, the Graduate is a really cool hotel downtown, and we love boutique hotel vibes at the Wampler House or Grant Street Inn.

Yes!  We are proud to report that we have a fiber optic connection to the barn and have blazing fast wifi.  There is a password protected guest network.  While at the barn, please ask our event managers for the password to leverage the internet connection.

Yes, we would love for all members of your family (furry or not) to be included in your big day.  Let’s just talk about the details and logistics of keeping your furry friends safe and happy during the event!

We do not have exclusive contracts for any vendors. We want your special day to be exactly what you want. If you need help finding a quality vendor, please check out our Preferred Vendors Document. That document shares vendors that we have worked with that we believe do a fabulous job!

Smoking is not allowed in or around the farm buildings. There is a designated smoking area near the wedding barn that is the only place on the farm where smoking is allowable. This rule will be strictly enforced. For the safety of our historic barns, WH reserves the right to ask smokers to leave if they are not following this policy.   WH also will utilize the security deposit to remove butts from the property or repair any damage caused by smoking outside of the designated smoking area.

We have a herd of beef cattle, some chickens, a donkey, a pony, three horses, two dogs and a cat!  They are all very nice!

Under no circumstances should a guest open a gate or cross a fence during an event. WH strictly prohibits access to all areas of the farm without prior consent.  Guests are welcome to walk around the areas of the farm that are not fenced.  Please be respectful of our crops, if they are up, and do not walk through them.

There are about 6 acres where the farmhouse, wedding barn, historic barn, natural spring, axillary structures, and parking lots are located. Those 6 acres are the most common place for guests to use for gatherings. Ceremonies and receptions can certainly be set up in different configurations, or in different areas on the farm with approval from WH staff.

The client is responsible for any and all damage to the event space or adjacent property. In most cases, the $500 deposit will cover the damage. In instances that it does not, WH will work with the customer to have the damaged property repaired.

The expectation is that the barn will be in the same state you received it.  All personal belongings, decor, lighting, and outside rental items must be packed up and removed from the property.  All trash must be gathered and placed in the on site dumpster.  WH tables, chairs, and other barn-owned furniture items can be left in place. Any WH rental pieces should be gathered in one area.  All customers receive a Customer Close Out Checklist in their customer portal or in provided documentation that fully documents requirements.  WH is happy to help clients clean the space after their events for a fee.

Yes it is!  The farm was officially listed on the national register in December of 2020.  The 1822 cabin and the red (double crib barn) and many of the outbuildings make up one of the few historic districts in Monroe County.

Jeff is the resident farmer and he rotates crops between corn and soybeans each year. He often puts down a cover crop of rye over the winter too. He planted corn in 2025, so 2026 will be soybeans, 2027 corn again… you get it. ;)

We do not provide any linens, or table wear. Clients are responsible for brining their own table cloths, plates, and silverware to their event.

We would LOVE that! If you book your wedding at Whippoorwill Hill, we’d love to off you guys complimentary time at the farm to take your engagement photos. Because our weekends are a little hectic, we ask that all photo shoots happen Monday-Wednesday. Please connect with us to schedule a time to be at the farm so we can ensure the time is intimate for you (ie. we don’t schedule other things during your shoot).

These engagement photo shoot sessions are a perfect time really explore the farm with your photographer and game plan wedding day photography!
