We were a little late in finding a venue for our wedding but so happy we found a late fall opening with Strock Enterprises on their beautiful farm in Mechanicsburg. Kurt Strock and his team made the process super easy and walked us through all of our questions. Their option for having us provide some of our table top decorations while using some of their decorations helped the budget along. The food was amazing and Kurt's Dad (original Farm owner/operator) is superb at his barbeques - we had a full pig roast and barbeque steak). Would highly recommend.

The West Shore Country Club is the PERFECT venue for weddings or other events. We had the most perfect wedding day and it was all thanks to this amazing team and of course the coordinator Brittney. She took our dream and made it come to life. The venue was so accommodating, easy to work with and communicative throughout the entire planning process. 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.

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!

Our sister found this place and did a virtual tour and from the very first moment we saw Lauxmont Farms, we knew this place was special, but what we experienced exceeded every expectation we had. The venue is undeniably breathtaking, but it’s the people who made it unforgettable. Every single staff member was warm, kind, and genuinely invested in our day. The decorator went above and beyond in ways I’ll never forget, hanging décor from the tent ceiling and making our vision come to life with such care. Our day-of coordinator, Ally, and our attendant, Brandon, were incredible. They were attentive, calm, thoughtful, and detail oriented in every possible way. From our first visit to our final moments on the property on our wedding day, we felt supported, cared for, and truly celebrated. Lauxmont didn’t just host our wedding, it gave us an experience we will cherish for a lifetime. If I could give more than five stars, I would. 1000/10.

The Manor at Mountain View

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.

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.

My husband and I had our Christmas-themed wedding at the Eden on December 10th of 2021, and I can’t sing the praises of the wedding coordinators, concierges, catering and janitorial staff enough. From start to finish we felt genuinely cared for by everyone in the resort...and I know how often they host weddings, but each and every person on the Eden team accommodated us in such a joyful way; as if we were the only wedding in the building. And it felt like they were sincerely happy for us. Which made the day feel really, really special. Madeline and Felicia, our wedding/day-of coordinators, attended to every last detail of the day, making sure that absolutely nothing was missed. They were present, intentional, flexible, and at times even borderline protective of me and my family. And that’s anything a bride could ever ask for. I couldn’t be more grateful. As far as the planning process goes: as a project manager, I very much appreciated the explicit, direct nature of their policies and procedures. After offering me several tours of the venue (MOB was from out of town and MOG wanted to see it on separate occasions) and answering all of my many many questions via phone and email, we had several formal meetings to comb through all the details and make sure we were on the same page. Maddie was able to help me delegate and manage my expectations, especially when it came to who was responsible for what, and even then bent over backwards to help me and my bridal party with day-of tasks. Thanks again to everyone on The Eden Resort & Suites staff. You were such a crucial part of our big day and we appreciate your hard work!

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about The Antrim 1844 Hotel! We had the most incredible wedding experience here, and I'm so grateful we found this gem. We actually heard about Antrim from a coworker whose family had their wedding there last spring. It wasn't even on our radar before that, but now I can't imagine our wedding taking place anywhere else! During our planning process, we got to see so many different weddings they were hosting, and I was blown away by their unique ability to make everything from small intimate gatherings to expansive celebrations not just work, but work beautifully! They really know how to adapt to each couple's vision. Working with Jill was such a joy! She made the entire planning process feel effortless and actually fun. She was so flexible with all our changes and took the time to walk us through backup plans for weather, which gave us such peace of mind knowing we were covered no matter what. We got lucky with lovely weather and got married in their rose garden, and oh my goodness - it was so breathtakingly gorgeous that we barely needed to add any decorations! The natural beauty spoke for itself and created the most romantic, dreamy backdrop for our vows. Having so many family members and friends traveling to join us, the wedding weekend stay option was a game-changer! The complimentary breakfast for overnight guests was such a thoughtful touch - it meant everyone could wake up together and start each day without any stress about finding food. It really made the whole wedding weekend feel like one big family celebration. The bridal suite in the main mansion was absolutely perfect for getting ready! There was space for our entire wedding party plus my mom and friends to get ready together, and it provided the most beautiful backdrop for photos. We got so many stunning getting-ready shots in that gorgeous space! The food was absolutely delicious - both during our tasting and on the big day! Our guests are still raving about it. The team worked so seamlessly with all our other vendors too, making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. We were thrilled about the veterans discount, which let us add some extra special touches like a dessert bar, upgraded appetizers, and shade canopies for the ceremony. They made it so easy to customize everything within our budget. Every single guest has told us what an amazing time they had, and we're already excited to come back for anniversaries! We've heard their holiday decorations are absolutely spectacular, so we're definitely planning a winter visit. If you're looking for a venue that combines stunning natural beauty, incredible service, amazing food, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect, The Antrim 1844 Hotel is IT. We couldn't have asked for a more magical place to start our life together!

Where to begin… just can’t express any of what we felt fully in words but we will try. Drumore estate was exactly what we had hoped for and MORE in a venue and gave us our perfect day with “no notes”! What drew us to Drumore and they delivered: 1. Multi seasonal - due to temperature and cost, we quickly decided that we wanted an off season winter wedding. Something that was very important to us was having a good indoor ceremony space. They were incredibly flexible up to the day of the ceremony (game time decision) to do the ceremony inside or outside depending upon weather. 2. Exclusive use/flexibility pre-post wedding - although we had other venues that we loved, a big thing that set Drumore apart from other venues was its feeling of making the day exclusively our day (one wedding a day) giving us the flexibility to use the entire estate literally all day from 8am - 10pm, in addition to allowing us to drop off things the day before and pick up the day after. This really allowed us and our families to be fully present in the day and not feel rushed/more stressed. Trust us, this was HUGE and truly made all the difference! 3. All inclusive - it was very important to us to pick a venue that had a lot included. Drumore came with onsite catering, bar service, all linens, tables, etc. bridal and groom suit, ceremony space, cocktail space, reception space and so on. We also utilized their third party rental service which was extremely affordable and great for last minute additions with zero hassle. Also, huge bonus, the food was phenomenal, we did a buffet and our guests truly loved it! 4. MARNIE! (Wedding Planner) - Planning a wedding without your own personal wedding planner can be intimidating, but Marnie did far more than your average venue facilitator. She is so enthusiastic, yet detailed, which allows her to thrive in this type of role. When we met with her we were able to break down every step and detail of our day and left feeling very confident in our decisions and plan. She even helped create a step by step timeline. Not only did she help us prepare, but was present on the day of, always stepping in at the right moments without taking attention away from our special moments. We can’t express truly how Marnie’s hard work made our day special. She was also great with responding to all the one off email questions throughout the months leading up. 5. We understand this is a lot of detail, but we really wanted to highlight all the things that set Drumore apart and helped make our day so perfect. We have endless compliments on how amazing the venue was from all our guests. Although weddings are expensive, between keeping our guest list to a manageable hundred people and having it off season, we felt like Drumore provided a day that from an outside perspective you would assume the wedding cost us well over 50k with how stunning and just perfect everything was and looked. We had 100 guests in the ballroom for the ceremony and the carriage house for the reception and felt that fit our event perfectly. All in all it’s hard to imagine our day and the planning leading up could have gone any better “NO NOTES”! We would highly recommend exploring Drumore as an option for your big day!

We booked a tour with Cold Saturday Farm on a whim, but holy cow am I glad that we did! We met with Brittany on a pretty dreary day in the winter, and even then I could see the beauty in the venue. It truly is a blank canvas that you can really make your own. Plus, the venue checked all the boxes that were super important to us: onsite getting ready spaces for both us, free onsite parking, guest tables and chairs included, and access to the venue all day. For the price, it was a great value. Brittany did end up leaving Cold Saturday, and we do wish that had been proactively communicated to us, but her replacement, Meredith, was fantastic, especially because she started the week before our wedding (I'm pretty sure we were her first wedding at the venue). But she was incredibly helpful and friendly--we actually had guests come up to us and tell us how awesome she was! The only other thing I wish we had known ahead of time was that the getting ready room the guys used didn't have any furniture. It was still being worked on during our tours, so we didn't actually see the room until the day of. So the room may have furniture at some point. Overall, we loved Cold Saturday Farm. It is truly a hidden gem (none of our vendors have ever worked there before but all of them said they loved it), so I really love that it was a pretty unique and beautiful place to have our wedding.

We just had our wedding here on 9/27 and could not have asked for a better venue and experience. Us, our families, and our friends occupied all the houses, and it was the perfect space to create memories that will last a lifetime. Colby was amazing to work with. He made sure all our needs were taken care, communicated with all our vendors to make sure we didn't have to deal with anything, and even prepared things that we didn't even think of. He was calm, cool, and collected throughout the whole experience, and always was in communication with us to ensure the day went as we envisioned. The weather was iffy that day, and I expressed I really wanted the wedding outside, and he made it all happen with no complaints. We truly couldn't imagine having that weekend anywhere else and feel like we were treated like family. Highly recommend having any event here.

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!

Turf Valley Resort provided an amazing wedding experience for my husband and I.
