Fire Pit

Another addition to the grounds is our new fire pit. A great spot for guests to mingle and relax.

Perfect for a summer night or a crisp fall evening at dusk.

Zukas Gardens

There is always something new happening at Zukas Hilltop Barn! Lynn and Peter continue to look for ways to add to the beautiful grounds. This year their project has been to add an herb and vegetable garden!
It has been amazing to watch this project unfold and see their hard work and dedication come to life. We even got our first sample of fresh vegetables when Lynn used lettuce from the garden in the salads at recent weddings.
We are excited to be able to offer such fresh produce to our guests and to incorporate these items into our menu.











The beautiful herb garden!

House wedding Cakes

Here are a few sample wedding cakes from the 2010 wedding season:











Hot Pink Gerber Daisies add the perfect touch to this four tiered cake. Happy Spring!

















Simple Elegance with yellow roses.









Julie & Jason's beautiful cake on our tree stand. Country Elegance!

Unique Guest Book Idea

Julie & Jason had one of the most creative guest "book" ideas we have seen. Guests were asked to write a message on a river rock and leave them for the bride and groom.

How beautiful is this table? It is a small sample of how they brought their love of nature into their wedding decor. It was stunning!!!













Here are a few messages left by guests. We always love seeing new ideas and this was a great one!

Christine & Brian
