Why Choose Merrick Hollow for your wedding?
If you are looking for a unique peaceful location for your guests to enjoy, look no further.
We can still vividly recall the first moment we turned up the wooded drive and walked along the elevated bridge. It twists and turns through the trees, at first hiding the venue from sight, the dangling string lights - and your curiosity - beckoning you closer. At last through the parting leaves, the striking architecture and magnificent windows of Merrick Hollow are visible. The modern design of the venue lends a contrast to the wooded setting that is bold and fresh, yet somehow feels totally natural and welcoming.

Some insider tips
Merrick Hollow has a beautiful bridal suite and a grooms room for getting ready. Don’t forget to have a fun playlist put together to get ready to. The bridal room is upstairs, so keep this in mind with your shoe selection. The ground can also be soft during your wedding day, so wedges are a better option than stiletto heals.
The venue is happy to do a wedding flip in the case of poor weather conditions if you had previously planned to have your ceremony outside. You don’t have to worry about the weather at this venue! It will be beautiful rain or shine.
Our favorite photo locations
We love taking photos of the bridal party in the ceremony location. Bride and groom photos on the bridge create a unique shot while showing off the special features of the venue.
Special details about Merrick Hollow and a word from the owners:
The dream of Merrick Hollow began thirteen years ago when Chainey and Stephen set out to create their unique take on a wedding venue. Originally aspiring to build a treehouse themed venue, the raised bridge was an idea from the beginning, but through several twists of fate the plan eventually morphed into the final breathtaking result. Chainey and Stephen say that it is much more than they even imagined in the beginning, but they are very excited to continue adding to the experience in every possible way. Their creativity will be sure not to disappoint!
Merrick Hollow offers an indoor or outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception hall. The outdoor ceremony location is a beautiful open field of grass surrounded by trees; any style of decor could turn it into whatever gorgeous woodland setting you could imagine. Venue rental includes the choice of 6 arbors for your outdoor ceremony
The bridal suite is perfect, even offering a full bathroom with a tub and a second story deck looking out over the woods. The grooms room is complete with a tv, couch and bar stool seating.
The Hollow offers a truly unique experience that combines a majestic wooded setting with a touch of modern elegance. Upon arriving, guests will be swept away by the surrounding natural landscapes while walking the 360 foot winding bridge. From the large modern window, the unhewn tree which greets you inside the door, to the majestic wooded ceremony area and the raised wooden deck that overlooks it, there is beauty at every turn.
We asked Chainey to give us some advice for any engaged couples and she shared a wonderful tip!
“The best advice we have for our couples is to prioritize budget planning. This may not be the most enjoyable part of wedding planning, but it’s definitely the most important. The last thing you want to do is start your marriage in debt. Be honest with yourself and have clear communication with your fiancé, parents or other potential contributors. Being budget friendly is something Merrick Hollow strives for by allowing couples to pick their own vendors as well as offering off peak season and military/veteran discounts.”
