Is the property wheelchair accessible?
Our goal is to make Deer Hill Acres as accessible as possible for all guests. A designated reserved handicapped parking space is located near the ceremony area, right at the edge of the aisle. From there, guests using wheelchairs or with mobility needs can follow a gently packed wood chip/mulch path approximately 150 feet to the ceremony site. While the lawn includes three terraced levels, wheelchairs can remain on the upper terrace area, which offers a beautiful and unobstructed view of the ceremony. Assistance is recommended along the path.

We ask that all décor be respectful of the natural environment and that items are safely secured. Fireworks, sparklers, and open flames are not permitted.
