years ago. Knowing they also wanted to “work the land,” they added a tree farm, orchard and gardens. They never dreamed of having weddings here until their daughter requested it for her own nuptials in 2016.

“Our oldest daughter wanted to get married at the farm, which really surprised us. To us, it was just our farm, but we spruced it up and made it extra special for her wedding,” Hahn recalled. “She had the most beautiful bohemian wedding ever. Everybody was sitting on hay bales; she was barefoot with wildflowers. She posted some pictures, and it just blew up. So many people started asking about the location, and we were like, ‘Oh my gosh, what the heck is going on?’”

With encouragement from their daughter’s wedding planner, the Hahns decided to open up their private property as an event venue. They added buildings and created serene outdoor spaces to accommodate this new direction, while also putting the appropriate legal paperwork in place.

The Hahns still enjoy hosting friends and family throughout the year and growing their own food on the farm. In addition, plans are well underway for them to retire here someday. But, in the meantime, during the wedding season, the family allows visitors to make the Baumberhof a special place of their own — if only for one night.
