TESTIMONIALS

"The only thing more beautiful than the venue and landscape was Trina & David’s caring hearts and attention to detail. The brick ceremony was so beautiful and really gave us a unique experience. We look forward to going to see our brick in years to come! Every possible thing a bride could ask for was made available to me, and so much more. St. Stephens on the Hill is absolutely breathtaking, it is easy to get lost in the scenery; from the bridge to the stone arch itself, everything is so gorgeous. We opted to place our tables under the trees right near the aisle and it was magical. I cannot think of a better place to get married or better venue hosts!"

"When we saw St Stephens on The Hill for the first time and then spoke with the Bartoks, there was no doubt it was where my daughters wedding was to be.  And we were not disappointed!  David and Trina are excellent in all that they do and they do so much to make sure everything is just perfect!  They opened their home to the bridal party and make sure to take care of anything that we asked about.  All the guests were blown away with the beauty of St Stephens.  The locals couldn't believe they had never heard of what they called the perfect place for a wedding.  The Bartoks have an amazing venue and they are amazing hosts!  My daughter and son-in-law will forever have beautiful memories of their special day at St Stephens on The Hill!"
