Kelsi and Liz were fantastic to work with and made the process so easy. Even with a global pandemic throwing a wrench in our wedding plans, we were so impressed with the communication and flexibility from them. The venue itself is stunning with a number of outdoor ceremony location options (we were thrilled to be their first vineyard wedding and are still floored by how beautiful it was), and the Coach House reception space is so charming it barely needs any decor. The food that we heard so many good things about was outstanding; I'll be trying to recreate the butternut squash and carrot soup this winter. We can't thank everyone at Hessenland enough and can't imagine having gotten married anywhere else!

We went for dinner for my birthday. The atmosphere was so lovely. The food was amazing. Dietary allergies were not an issue, the chef was very accommodating. We enjoyed the wine flights for a mini tasting. The chef made me a cute birthday surprise. Yummy. Overall, we all had a very enjoyable experience and will be back again.

We had our wedding here and everything was amazing! The planning process was made very simple by Liz. The food, service, and rooms were all wonderful. My guests are still talking about how wonderful everything was. I would definitely recommend Hessenland Inn for a wedding or any event.

The Wein and Dine was phenomenal. Everything about it was ideal. I felt like I’d taken a trip to Europe. I am vegan and gf and the substitutions for my dining experience were first rate‼️ I have never had a better meal. With Scott Chow as entertainer and the perfect weather made dining in the vineyard such a pleasure❣️

What isn't amazing about this place? My wife and I got married here last weekend. The grounds are immaculate, the food incredible, and the staff are absolutely amazing. I can never have enough great things to say about Liz and her staff. She was fantastic throughout the entire process. Even when our DJ bailed on us 3 days out from the wedding, she was able to find us a more amazing replacement. Hands down, having our wedding here was the best decision we made! It was easily the best weekend of our lives! Our guests kept raving that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. We'll never be able to thank you all enough!

Thank you to Liz and her staff for making our wedding day perfect. Leading up to the day Liz was amazing and always made us feel comfortable and confident. Everything was taken care of and it allowed us to just enjoy the day and not worry about anything. Exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. The property is beautiful and has amazing locations for wedding photos. Thanks again Liz! You're the best.

My husband and I were married at Hessenland Country Inn last weekend and it was the best day of our lives. Liz was absolutely amazing to work with and made us feel like part of the family. If your looking for a venue that is quaint and cozy but can still accommodate a large group of guests this is the place! The Coach House is gorgeous and the grounds surrounding the venue are beautiful all throughout the year. The best part about Hessenland is that it is a one stop shop - everything you need is in one location!The food was amazing and the staff at Hessenland were super friendly and kind which made our day run smoothly! I wish I could relive this day again! We will certainly be back for upcoming Hessenland events!!!- Jenny and Paul 21/10/2017

We had our wedding at Hessenland and it was perfect!Liz and all the staff were fantastic to work with, and service was very quick and efficient. Liz kept everyone running on a schedule and let us know where we should be and when, this was a huge help to me as I was very nervous to walk down the aisle in front of so many people. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and the food was second to none. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our special day. The bonus was definitely the hotel availability with the venue being a distance from most guests homes. It was a very special day and they made it everything we dreamed of! Thank you Hessenland!

From the moment I walked in the staff was excellent. Got there early and they allowed us in the pool until our room was ready. The grounds are immaculate. A pond, a waterfalls and gardens are all well kept and relaxing. Did not eat at the restaurant. Private beach and sunset are worth the stay.

We had our wedding at Hessenland last weekend and it was a dream come true ! Planning a wedding from overseas seemed like a daunting task, but Liz made it a piece of cake, coordinating with her was extremely easy and she is such an amazing woman to work with. Liz cared about my special day as much as I did and it really showed, with her help we were able to plan the most amazing day. The venue is beautiful and the food was amazing ! I highly recommend this location even if it's out of town for you, the rooms are beautiful and the hospitality is next to none !!

Had a very small wedding at Hessenland in the Garden Room and honestly had the most perfect day. Liz was the best to deal with, such a professional and so knowledgeable. Even though I knew next to nothing about planning a wedding she was there every step of the way to help guide me in the right direction. Frank cooked us the most wonderful meal that I had nothing but compliments about from my guests. The rest of the staff- to the people who set up and served food and drinks-everyone was fantastic! The atmosphere at Hessenland is so relaxed and comfortable. To anyone thinking of having an event there, staying there or just going for dinner (the Mongolian grill is AMAZING!) I highly recommend it!

If you have never been...go! It's our go-to after a matinee at Huron County Playhouse or, on our most recent visit, a wine tour at Dark Horse Estate Winery followed by dinner at Hessenland to celebrate birthdays. The atmosphere, lovely and the food, delicious. Don't forget to take some time to either start or end your visit with a stroll around their lovely grounds and gardens.

Hessenland is a picturesque Inn and restaurant set in a vast garden. The grounds are lovely and well kept. The staff is friendly and most accommodating. The food is delicious and some of the best I have ever had. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Every time I have the pleasure of meeting with Liz at Hessenland I leave feeling more at ease and more excited about how our wedding day will turn out! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to plan an event, or take little getaway near the lake!

My husband and I got married at the inn on June 25th 2016, and from the moment we met Liz and saw the facilities, we were sold that this would be where we exchanged our vows. To start off, Liz was so informative and friendly, and went out of her way to answer every one of our many questions prior to our booking. After we made our final decision, she made sure to be available to us whenever we needed her as we planned our special day. She even went above and beyond to accommodate special requests from my parents! When the weekend finally arrived, our family and friends took over the resort for the whole weekend and Liz and her team made sure we were stress free, relaxed, and well taken care of! Our wedding day was nothing short of magical. The weather, the grounds, the food, the staff, everything was perfect. Liz was totally professional, on top of every little detail, and so kind to all of our guests. Even when we had an extra guest show up for dinner, Liz did not skip a beat and made sure there was a meal ready for them! She even went above and beyond to prepare a special meal for a family member who was going to have trouble with the heavy dinner due to some health concerns. I could praise her all day, but to sum it all up, she really is an angel in disguise. If you are considering Hessenland for any of your events, let me assure you, that you will not be disappointed and the entire family and all of the staff will go out of their way to make your stay perfect. My new husband and I cannot wait to go back and visit! Thank you Liz, Frank and all of the staff for everything!

Planning a wedding from afar has its challenges. We couldn't have been in better hands! Our ceremony and reception on site as well as a yummy breakfast with our overnight guests the next day, all turned out wonderfully! The service and staff were exceptional and we got many compliments on it. Liz went above and beyond to accomodate us and managed to incorporate many personal touches to help us have our dream wedding.

Liz, I have so many great things to say about the Hessenland Country Inn. You were so great to work with, whether it be 1:00pm, or 10:00pm you were answering my emails, and updating my file as per my requests. You are very knowledgeable, and understanding and helped to guide me though the entire wedding process. I honestly couldn't have done it without you! The entire staff was fantastic, they were welcoming, helpful, and they all wore a smile, and had such a positive attitude. This is something that seems to be very hard to come by now-a-days. I can tell that the Hessenland is a great place for these people to work. I am still getting complements on the wedding, the staff, and how beautiful the location was, and it is all thanks to you. I am so beyond impressed and satisfied with the turnout of our wedding, Todd and I have already talked about seeing you in 10 years to host a family reunion at your location. I will miss our correspondence, but I am sure we will be back sometime in the future!!

From Helge and Walter Streich- 50th anniversary!! We've just assembled a big album with photos of our 50th. wedding anniversary celebrated on September 29, 2012 at Hessenland Country Inn. Once again we're filled with a golden afterglow. Everything was soperfect:the garden setting, the weather, the food ,the staff. Oh, the staff! All of our guests commented on the warmth and attention of the staff. Here are some of the comments received: 'You do everything so well' 'The catering by the Hessenland was absolutely wonderful with the weather co-operating too'. ' We had a very good time at your 50th. anniversary celebration. What a lovely party!''How nice that we could enjoy the sunset in the garden!'Our own family was very pleased with everything. You made us look so professional. The corsages and boutonnieres were waiting. The grounds were spotless, the outdoor seating just the way we had dreamed of. Our older son, who arrived in grand style chauffeured on a golf cart, truly appreciated his accessible room and the attentive food service. The champagne toast and hors d'oeuvres appeared at just the right moment. The hall looked gorgeous. Our younger son, who was the M.C., explained that because everything was so relaxed, it allowed our guests to relax and enjoy themselves also. The buffet was delicious. There was music and dancing. The evening concluded with a light luncheon. Everyone left happy. What more can we say? Thank you Liz and the Hessenland family for a truly memorable experience.
