Vintage Country Elegance

Having a wedding reception during a global pandemic is not for the weary. Everything seemed to be falling to shambles then I talked with Sarah a huge weight was lifted. I felt normal again not Bridezilla. She was a nurturing, sympathetic, logical, reassuring, accommodating, accomplished, professional. The peace I sought. Our wedding reception was simple, elegant, country & vintage. She finished all the details perfectly it was absolutely gorgeous our vision. Our guests enjoyed every aspect of our reception from the breathtaking venue to the yard games to the out door settings. It was picture perfect & a day we will never forget. Thank you is not enough. ♥️

In my opinion the best place to get married in NB

In my opinion the best place to get married in NB! The barn is so beautiful, the property is gorgeous and the owner is the most amazing person you will met! Sarah went above and beyond to make our day special and I can confirm she 100% did. She was there to answer any questions we had and to help us through all the craziest of planning a wedding. We could not recommend Ticklebelly enough! Trust us you will love it and her! Thank you Sarah for the amazing day!

The Perfect Day!

Sarah and her staff are the absolute best!! I would list them as the number one reason to book Ticklebelly Hill as your wedding venue, right next to sheer rustic beauty of the barn and property.
I've been to barn weddings in October where the guests were freezing, but Ticklebelly actually has two mini split heat pumps that kept the barn plenty warm enough for our early October wedding. We loved everything about the venue, the exposed wood beams and wood floor, the gorgeous harvest tables and chivari chairs, and the fire pit was a big hit! Most barn wedding venues seem to have concrete floors and metal sided walls, it was so nice to find a quality and original venue. It was exactly what I had envisioned for my big day.

Planning a wedding during Covid-19 had its fair share of hurdles but Sarah was beyond fantastic to work with! Anything that popped up was always met with a solution or an offer to help. Our big day was absolutely perfect, everything flowed smoothly, and guests felt that the whole day was intimate and homey; I know that this was largely due to Sarah and her amazing staff. They worked behind the scenes, moving tables and even setting up our kids activity table, they were quick to help with anything we needed.

We were so happy with our day from start to finish and can't thank Sarah and her girls enough for all they did!

Ticklebelly Hill is a DREAM wedding location. We couldn’t have dreamt up a more beautiful spot to have our small elopement ceremony. There are so many breath taking areas on the property to plan your day around.

The day was more perfect then we could have imagined and that was all thanks to Sarah and her absolutely stunning wedding venue. Thank you so much for the great day.

Highly recommend!

Perfect spot for our reception!

We had the most amazing reception at Ticklebelly Hill! It felt like it was out of a dream & our guests were just as blown away when they walked into the venue. It had the perfect rustic setting we were looking for with glamourous touches such as the chandelier, lighting, tables & chairs. You hardly have to decorate this space as it’s just so beautiful itself. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous New Brunswick Venue

Ticklebelly Hill was an amazing venue for our wedding! We live in Toronto so all planning had to be done remotely and Sarah was more than available and helpful for every question/comment we had. Arriving at the site, the day before our wedding, was such a relief as it was as gorgeous as the pictures indicated. The day of went by without a hitch as Sarah and her team took great care of us. Couldn't have asked for a better place to get married.
