The Stone Mill 1792 was the perfect venue for our baby shower. From the very beginning, their communication was timely, high-quality, and friendly, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is truly picturesque, with its charming, beautiful historic stone mill and surrounding natural scenery. It felt magical and cozy, creating an intimate and memorable atmosphere for our celebration. In fact, this venue has a special meaning for us, as it's where my husband proposed to me during our surprise baby shower - a moment that made our day even more special. We are so grateful to the Stone Mill 1792 team for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

I had the pleasure of using the Corn Crib for a CommunityAid work event and their larger Barn for my daughter's wedding. While I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Strock Enterprises, my guests were also glowing with compliments ranging from the charm of the venues to the exceptional attentiveness of the staff. The team made me feel like I was working with friends. They were incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely dedicated to making sure my vision was captured.

My husband and I had the absolute best experience having our wedding at the Inn at Leola Village. Working with Stephanie and the team was smooth and easy, and the wedding itself was fantastic. We loved every minute, and getting to have everything onsite made the weekend even more special. Tracie, the florist, took my ideas and ran with them to create the perfect atmosphere in the room. The food and drinks were great and all the staff from bartenders to hair and makeup artists to servers were awesome. I couldn't recommend having your wedding here more!

The Manor at Mountain View 

4.9

Harrisburg, PA
  • Up to 325 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,400

The Manor at Mountain View was the perfect find for the owners. The rustic feel with modern-day conveniences was a must. But, what was also a must was to have a venue that the word beautiful could not even describe it but, yet to keep it affordable so that so many people could come and enjoy this spectacular piece of property. The Tavern (Groom's Tavern) has its original barn beams as this was at one time a bank barn. The rustic charm matches the rod iron chandeliers in the room leading to the tavern. In 2007 the former owners built an addition to the facility that speaks volumes, equipped with windows throughout to show off the amazing view... It really is breathtaking. Today the owners have renovated all the rooms in the building but, kept the rustic charm. It brings the family great joy to see so many people happy when they visit the property and to be able to share so many events with the individuals that rent the property is a joy that is indescribable.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Dressing room available
  • Provides event staff
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • No free parking
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic

We got married in December, and until the day of the wedding I was worried that this was a scam because this venue was too perfect. (Which is why I’m attaching non-professional photos for those who are skeptical!!) Upon doing extensive research, no venue matches Manor at Mountain View in terms of price and package. We saved a ton of money thanks to their all-inclusive packages (bartenders, tables, linen, decoration, etc.) Now, it was slightly difficult to keep communication clear because I used email as our main source of communication, so we weren’t as organized as I would have liked. (I tend to be type a and need to know everything that’s happening so I can communicate that to my wedding party and others who are part of the wedding). We were also unaware that we had to bring our own unity candles until the morning of, but Angie was able to take care of that for us. Despite this hiccup, I still want to rate this venue 5 stars because the wedding day itself went SO smoothly. The staff truly love their job and it is evident in the way they treat our family and friends. It was only thanks to this venue that we could pull off a wedding in less than 6 months! And it went perfectly.

Beth Valgus, the catering sales manager of the Harrisburg Hilton, flawlessly coordinated my wedding venue. She accommodated all my questions and concerns before, during and after the event. Beth and her team were incredible and always on the ball with questions and concerns and were always there to problem solve with me. Myself and many other guests had multiple food allergies and they were able to manage each one flawlessly. Additionally, due to weather issues and a last minute switch of guests, Beth and her team were able to handle without a problem. I would highly recommend Beth and the Hilton Harrisburg for your wedding and other events!
