“I cannot say enough about Caitlyn and her amazing staff! When hurricane Helene destroyed our venue in the mountains, she reached out and told me they could make it happen and assured us it would still be beautiful. The venue alone is stunning! All of the small details you don't think, about they have! Caitlyn hit the ground running as soon as we said yes! She works with the most kind hearted vendors and they stepped in to plan a meal and drinks for our guests. The kind of service and love that they pour into their venue is seen in everything they do. Caitlyn and her team helped with everything from setting up table decor, setting up the food and drink and even held my train as I walked down to the isle. Peep the picture. :) I could only imagine the kinds of weddings that happen at this venue with more time to plan! If you are looking for a full experience wedding that will leave you feeling like you became part of their family this is it! I honestly can't think them enough for how much they came through for us and made a difficult situation the greatest blessing. Pick Legacy at Gregory Downs as your venue and you won't regret it!.”

“This venue is the most amazing venue I toured while planning. It’s was absolutely stunning and everything I wanted in a venue. The venue coordinator is very nice, however, at times it was very difficult to get in touch with her. There is no staff to cover if she happens to be out of the office (which made it stressful as it closer to my wedding). Overall, I would recommend this venue for any celebration. I also loved that I had to option to bring all of my decor and vendors. My overall experience was a good one. My wedding was beautiful and everything turned out great.”

“My husband and I recently got married at The Union Exchange and had the most magical days of our lives. I don't even know where to begin! I have been going to The Union Exchange market since it opened in 2022 and ever since my first day on the property, I felt at home. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, there was familiarity to it with the rural charm and wooded trails. As I watched the property grow over the years and saw all the hard work they put in to making it a beautiful wedding venue, I knew deep down that this where my husband and I would get married. The staff at The Union Exchange are one of a kind. From day one, Kelly and Kacie were detailed oriented and provided helpful insight when making decisions, but never were pushy when it came to discussing add ons. Donna is sunshine personified and brought such a light to the meetings throughout the process. The day of the wedding was smooth and seamless and much of that had to do with the hard work of the venue team. The property itself is unlike any other venue we toured! It has the perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm, without feeling too barn-y. It's truly serene. We utilized the Full Farm Package so we had our ceremony in the Pine View Forest and reception at the Auction Barn, with cocktail hour at their stand alone bar, Splinters. One thing to note is the property is very large so there was some walking required throughout the day (for guests), but they are more than accommodating for people who need assistance! I HIGHLY recommend the Pine View Forest for the ceremony site. The lighting coming in through the trees was magical with the fall colors! You cannot go wrong with any location on the property for ceremony, but there really is something enchanting about the forest. The addition of the vintage furniture included in our package also added an element of elegance that perfectly matched the vibe we were going for. A HUGE perk of this venue was the addition of the AirBnBs on the property. We had the bridal party stay the night of the wedding and it worked out perfectly! My husband and I plan to come back on our anniversary and stay at the glamping cabin we stayed in on the night of our wedding which is such a special option to have that you don't get with many other venues. The bottom line - this venue is magical. The staff treats you like family to make it the wedding day of your dreams. I00/10 recommend!”

It’s green, romantic, and full of natural beauty — a countryside venue without the rustic barn feel. We wanted something timeless, peaceful, and open-air, and HollyDay Farms delivered.
