We had our wedding reception at Iron & Ivy and cannot say enough great things about this venue and the team! The venue is stunning on its own, so very few decorations were even needed for a beautiful reception. The food was fantastic and beautifully displayed, we did not hear one complaint from our guests and they raved about the chicken! Our guests also complimented the staff on how accommodating and helpful they were. Karli, the wedding coordinator, made sure every detail and all of our ideas were perfectly executed. She and her team were incredible! They ensured throughout the entire evening that we had everything we needed. Prior to the event, every detail was gone over and confirmed. They set up and tore down everything, had it all packed up nicely on a cart waiting for us the morning after the wedding. We literally just showed up and had a great time! At the end of the night, we went up to our beautiful, impeccably clean, spacious bridal suite to find all our gifts had been delivered, as well as some left over food in our refrigerator. There were so many small details that just made the whole experience seem so personal and made it obvious the whole team really cared about making sure the night was perfect for us. Highly recommend Iron & Ivy if you are looking for a venue for your next event!

The Manor at Mountain View 
Rating: 4.9 (15 reviews)
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

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and about Angie, who owns and coordinates it. From the very beginning, her guidance made the entire planning process so much easier during an otherwise hectic time. She was organized, supportive, and truly a calming presence from start to finish. One of the biggest blessings was the all-inclusive décor. It took such a huge weight off my shoulders, and everything looked absolutely stunning. The venue itself is beautiful, and even on a chilly, overcast November day it felt intimate, warm, and completely enchanting. As for the wedding day, I swear it went off without a hitch. And if anything did go wrong, my husband and I were blissfully unaware, which is exactly what you want on your big day. The entire team clearly knows what they’re doing. It’s a well-run establishment with people who genuinely care about making your wedding perfect. I am so grateful we chose this venue. Not only is the space incredible, but the people behind it truly make the experience unforgettable. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

We had a great experience having our reception at the Hilton. The food was amazing and it ran so smoothly (we also had a day of planner not part of the Hilton staff). Many of our guests were traveling and had nothing but good things to say about the hotel and the restaurants in the hotel. We had an issue with our limo transportation and they volunteered one of their airport shuttles to take the groomsman and groom over to our ceremony venue, which was so nice of them. They really will go above and beyond to make sure it's a great day for you!

Brittney was a hero the day of the wedding and made it so stress-free for everyone. They do an excellent job with the food/drink service as well.

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.
