My husband and I cannot say enough incredible things about Lindsay McGuire, Diane Dodd, Chef Kevin, and the entire staff at Hillcrest Orchards. We planned our October Ohio wedding from Los Angeles all during the time of COVID. Lindsay was attentive, professional, and worked with us and the COVID guidelines set in place by the state to make sure we still managed to have the wedding of our dreams. We dropped off our decorations the morning of the wedding reception for her staff to set up and she flawlessly executed our requests. My husband and I were asked multiple times by staff members if we needed anything; We were even delivered our next round of drinks without any sort of prompting. We enjoyed private hayrides out into the orchard to pick apples with our guests, and the fire pits were lit as soon as dusk hit. Our family raved about how stunning the grounds were, how romantic the barn was, how delicious the food was (get the goat cheese mac n cheese and the apple cider donuts, they DO NOT disappoint)... We heard on multiple occasions that it was the best wedding our guests had ever attended. We are simply speechless - I could genuinely go on and on and on about how much I recommend their services and their venue for ANY event. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Lindsay, Diane, Chef, and the entire Hillcrest Staff for a stunningly beautiful day; We cannot wait to make a yearly pilgrimage from LA to the orchard and relive this day over...
Read moreIf you are looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further! We got married at Hillcrest Orchards in August 2025, and we truly couldn’t have made a better choice! Both the ceremony site and reception area are beautifully maintained and offer the perfect mix of rustic charm and natural beauty. August is especially lovely there when the trees are lush, green, and bursting with apples! Will was instrumental in helping us navigate the planning and organization process, and Diane was incredibly kind and attentive to both us and our guests on the big day. The entire team at Hillcrest was accommodating, flexible, and an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! We went with their food truck catering option, which turned out to be exactly what we had envisioned, delicious food and a fun, relaxed experience for our guests. Jaime and the Manna Food Truck team went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s dietary needs and food allergies were handled with care. Hillcrest Orchards truly offers the full package! Having our ceremony and reception at one beautiful location, with bar service and catering seamlessly taken care of, made the whole experience feel so much less stressful! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue, and we know anyone who chooses Hillcrest will...
Read moreIt was $48 for 2 adults and 2 children to get in so I asked what you get for $48 and they told me all of the activities they had and informed me that it would be 60 cents a pound for punkins so I assumed that included apple picking (additional $15) and the apple cannons (another $15) that she had mentioned. But the apple cannons were broken "they said" but I believe they were just shutting them down early on Sunday. The apple cannons were the big draw for us to go there and we were only there 15 minutes and were ready to leave so I asked for my money back and the owner was rude and tried to not return the $48 but then finally returned my $ and told me never to come back .Burnham orchards is way better all around we go there every year and have never had a bad experience. they have way more activities for children and the admission is less they are clear about their prices and their storefront is also larger and has much better selection. Look at the difference in the Google reviews for Burnham orchards and Hillcrest they say everything you need to know. Also I would never have posted this review if the owner was polite when I politely asked for my money back and told...
