We had our wedding in the ballroom. Very scenic and beautiful venue! Overall a pretty good venue that includes food, tables, chairs, linens, etc. The ballroom house itself is beautiful with lots of light indoors due to the large windows, and a nice deck for an outside ceremony. Zoe communicated with us and answered all our questions and did our tasting and planning, until a week before the actual day where we were assigned a day of coordinator. I found this system to be not great, since the day of coordinator was essentially a stranger that you've never talked to at all, and you basically have to re explain everything you want. Even though they have an online planning tool (which is old and outdated), I found that they got our aisle directions wrong, the reception layout wrong, and our dinner meals were wrong. Thankfully, we had a separate planner that was able to correct these things, so I recommend getting an outside coordinator that works directly with you if you have room in the budget. Another thing was our limited setup time of 1.5 hours meaning the florist and other vendors couldn't set up earlier with more elaborate decorations and had to do something simple. I found out that this is because they had another wedding at the same place before ours (literally ending at 4) and so they rush to get the place cleaned for the evening wedding. The main room and the suit was renovated, but the bathrooms were all still dingy and not the best/cleanest to use. The food was good though, better than we had at our tasting and they got it out fast. Our vendors were fed the same food, and our guests thought it was pretty good wedding food. Apart from the couple hiccups we had, we thought the venue was great overall and really beautiful and we don't regret having our wedding there at all. It could be a little bit better in the small details for the price though.

We just had our wedding at Drumore Mill on 09/06/2025. It is a beautiful, unique, and historic venue. We loved it since the day we toured. The venue is the perfect blend of rustic/historic charm and modern amenities. The grounds were clean and well maintained. Thuy was also wonderful to work with - kind, communicative, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and wedding weekend. It truly is such a stunning venue and we couldn't be happier with our experience there.

The Barn of Nottingham was the most perfect wedding venue my husband and I could have chosen. Mallory was absolutely amazing and helped out so much throughout the process. Her and her team made the days leading up to and the day of the wedding so much easier. We chose to do the full weekend package and it was the best decision ever! We were able to treat the whole weekend as a little get away for my husband and I, along with our wedding parties. Having the venue the whole weekend made setting up decorations so much easier and less stressful. The venue, from the house, to outside, to inside the barn, was absolutely stunning. The rustic feel was exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. Being able to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at one location was amazing. Having a space for both my husband and his groomsmen, along with my bridesmaids and I to get ready in the day of was perfect. My husband and I could not have picked a better venue to get married at. I 100% recommend the barn of Nottingham!

Worsell Manor could not have been a more perfect vendor for us!

I can't say enough about the Osbornia Farm team! They were truly amazing! From the moment we booked with them until the night our wedding ended they were so thorough and organized with everything. Shauna and Amy helped make our wedding day run so smooth and planned every little detail for us. Not only did they plan the schedule and details, they took into consideration of everything we said. Amy went above and beyond with helping us set up the church ceremony and then running the rehearsal. Shauna went above and beyond with coordinating with all the vendors before hand and during the wedding. Together, they were both amazing making sure the reception went smoothly. When I became stressed over little things they assured me it would be fine. And it was :) I truly feel the day went so smoothly and perfect because of them. The whole Family is so sweet and I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding a reality. We had so much fun and wish we could do it again :). Thank you!

Read the contract in it’s entirety. I had no problems, but see neg reviews that wouldn’t have been a problem if this is what they had done! And ask questions!! Guests, including that old bachelor of a friend, raved about how beautiful it was in mid-May. They have great vendor recommendations as well! Only con was communication is by email only- once or twice I just wanted to make a quick phone call.

We got married at Honeysuckle Ridge in June 2026 and absolutely loved it! Ron was easy to work with and very accommodating, allowing us to use the venue for a welcome party the night before the wedding (with insurance required, of course). He was also willing to help coordinate A/C delivery and set up with an outside vendor when we were concerned about heat, but we didn’t end up needing it with the fans on and barn doors open. We loved having the option to set up for 2 days before our wedding, and the barn itself was so beautiful with the lighting, and the nearby pond and wooded areas. All our guests loved it, and out of towners enjoyed seeing the fireflies and frogs. There was a thunderstorm at the perfect time, right when everyone was sitting down for dinner, and it was fun hearing the rain on the metal roof and watching the wind rolling on the fields. Know that there isn’t a kitchen on site, so your caterer will need to be able to prepare the food before arriving. There’s a great bar set up, and the patio area is a perfect place for guests to take a break from dancing. Can’t be beat for the price and everything it comes with!

I have to say The Barn at Cauffiel was the best venue that my husband and I ever could have picked for our wedding day last April 2025. I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while! The whole Jeffrey A. Miller (JAM for short) team there is extremely professional, helpful, and just downright amazing people for organizing your event and catering, whatever it may be. The Barn at Cauffiel estate is gorgeous with a combination of vintage, rustic, and floral beauty. They really have some amazing places to take pictures of everything and our photographers loved the space. They even rent out the house to stay in overnight in case you want to get ready at the house before the ceremony and reception (there’s a gorgeous room with natural lighting on the ground floor that we got ready in)! The food and drinks (lavender lemonade and hibiscus iced tea were my favorites) there are absolutely incredible. Especially the hors d’oeuvres, the ones that stick out in my memory were the salmon cones, prosciutto Manchego croquettes, lamb chops, bacon wrapped scallops, cheesesteak spring rolls, and even a surprise one called “hot date in Nashville” (a cheese stuffed date with what I think was sweet chili sauce. We also got the pretzel bar add on with multiple dips for picky eaters (my niece and nephews). Our dinner was pasta for the vegetarian option, chicken with parsnips puree, and coffee rubbed tomahawk steak with mushrooms and sauces. You will not be disappointed! They also made our cake for us which was delicious as well, we went with a split of strawberry for the bottom layer & bourbon chocolate for the top and middle layer with salted caramel buttercream icing. All of this was already amazing, but by far the best thins about picking this venue was the event coordinators. Lissette & Nicole helped to organize the WHOLE THING. They put together a timeline for everything to happen so I could communicate with the other vendors coming to help. They had organized forms to fill out for seating charts, menu choices, and decorations inventory to keep track of everything. They even followed up with me before, during and after the whole event with any questions or concerns I may have. They were so THOROUGH. Not only that but the assistant coordinator Siobhan worked incredibly hard with tracking the decoration inventory from the house for cocktail hour to the barn for reception dinner was so helpful and on point. She was also so kind and excited about our wedding that she really stood out as a wonderful person. I can’t say enough about how amazing our big day was, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Natasha the Events & Dining Director has always kept open (And fast!) communication and has a real understanding of the experience we hope for!

Choosing Pond View Farm was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation through the big day, Lindsey and her team were responsive and easy to work with, answering every question we had. The venue itself is spacious with plenty of room to get ready, a polished reception area, and that gorgeous willow tree made our ceremony feel exactly like we'd imagined it. The food was incredible and honestly better than we expected. Lindsey provided support all day long, which meant we could actually enjoy the moment instead of stressing about details. She and her team truly helped make our day perfect, and we'd recommend Pond View Farm to anyone looking for a venue.

When I began researching places to have our wedding, we had 1 criteria: we wanted to have our ceremony inside to avoid intense sunlight and heat during the summer. I searched for places that could accommodate this and struggled to find a place where the ceremony would be just as beautiful inside as it would be outside. But then I found Stoltzfus Homestead! I fell in love with the Tobacco Barn, where I could envision a ceremony being so beautiful. The barn is gorgeous and the doors make for a special dramatic reveal of the bride. I also loved that Stoltzfus had two different barns, so the reception could be in it's own unique space and not simply a re-staging of the ceremony space. My fiance and I loved each area of the venue: the bride and groom suites, the lounge (something you won't find at other venues), the secret garden, and the barns. There were so many great spots for photos. Plus, our guests commented on how fun it was to walk around and explore the venue during the reception. Stoltzfus does a great job of managing the wedding day so that you don't have to as the bride and groom. We were very thankful that our family could just enjoy the day while the venue's day-of-coordinator made sure everything ran smoothly. Additionally, during the wedding planning process, the Stoltzfus staff were communicative and helpful. We appreciated their design consultation where we were able to do a trial run of our table set up and see how the decor would look in the spaces. We would recommend Stoltzfus Homestead to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Lancaster!

This pavillion overlooks beautiful greenery, and in the autumn months the foliage creates a gorgeous backdrop. The outdoor fire pits make it even cozier at night time. Their indoor reception area is a beautifully built barn with delicious food & a spacious dance floor. Their event coordinator & wait staff are always a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I got married this past weekend and it was everything we could hope for. The venue is stunning. To be honest I never thought this would be the type of venue I would pick but I truly can’t imagine being anywhere else. It felt like a fairytale. So many of my guests commented on how pretty the venue was. We can’t thank Kristin, her husband, and the staff enough. From rehearsal to the actual day I felt little to no stress. Just to highlight how much the people behind this venue care and love what they do I want to highlight moments that still stick with me. We had a memorial table set up for our loved ones. I stressed how important the pictures on his table were to us and how I didn’t want this table to be cast aside. I was reassured that they would take the utmost care with our photos and that they would ensure they were not a forgotten backdrop. And they followed through on their promise. I also have to give a huge shoutout to Kristin. She is phenomenal. Following our ceremony I had gotten a little overheated outside. Before I could even say anything Kristin picked up that I needed help. She immediately swooped in and took care of me. To me that just showed how much she cared and how attentive she is. I could probably ramble on about this venue and the Fowlers. They didn’t make us feel like just another couple. We felt like they cared about us and wanted the best for us. To sum it up I would recommend this venue to anyone that asks.

Where do I even begin to describe The Barn at Silverstone?! It is absolutely the most amazing wedding venue! Our wedding day was everything we could have asked for and more from beginning to end. Everything was truly perfect! All of our guest raved about the stunning venue, the delicious food and polite staff. Miranda is absolutely wonderful! When we toured the venue for the first time, she sat down with us and went over everything. Which was so calming because let's be honest, the beginning of wedding planning can be overwhelming. She made it so easy which was another big reason we picked this venue. She was truly amazing from our first meeting to the final moment at the end of our wedding. Communication was always quick and she was beyond helpful! She answered all of my questions, big and small. She made the whole process stress free. The day of our wedding, she was the first smiling face I saw when I arrived to the bridal mansion and the last smiling face I saw at my departure. All day I felt at ease knowing she was bringing my vision to life. She displayed every detail perfectly! I can't thank her enough for all she had done! The beautiful venue speaks for itself! Starting with the Bridal Mansion, which was perfect for me and 13 other girls to spend our whole morning. The Groom's Lounge was a great space for my husband, 9 groomsmen and 3 ring bearers. We got married in the Haybarn, which looks like a place out of a fairytale! The cocktail and reception area left our guest speechless! If you are looking for a wedding venue or still undecided, I 100% recommend booking The Barn at Silverstone! It was the best decision we made! We would choose this venue over and over if we could! Your wedding will truly be the best day of your life if you pick The Barn at Silverstone.
