The Stroudmoor is a beautiful venue with the pituresque backdrop of rolling hills of Northern Pennsylvania. My wife and I settled on having our wedding at the Lawnhaven one of the multiple venue options at the Stroudmoor. Malia and her team made all of the prepartion and planning leading up to the wedding far less complicated than i thought it would be. Furthermore they continue to guide us through all the steps even working with us as we lived out of state. Honestly though, the WOW Factor didnt really sink in until the big day. Our bridal attendant was a super women. Her anticipation of our needs and magical ability to appear a the perfect moment with all of the attention to detail was more than we could have ever asked for. We arte incredibly greatful to all those involved in making our special day even that much more special.

Historic Ashland was quite literally a dream! Every inch of this venue is thoughtfully curated and well-maintained throughout any season of the year. All of our photos turned out incredible with so many beautiful backdrops throughout the property just waiting to be photographed. When choosing a wedding venue we had many different wants on our list and Historic Ashland fit them all: separate bridal and groomsmen getting ready areas, barn space for reception, outdoor ceremony, and more. However what we really focused on as our 2 non-negotiables: great photo opportunities and a good backup plan for if it rained. With so many options for ceremony locations on site, we were covered for our dream outdoor wedding and a gorgeous indoor one too, if it came to that. Some added bonuses along the way that we did not expect: how easy the team made it to execute our dream and leave no stone unturned during the wedding planning process. Throughout the year as I was planning decor and my vision for the day, it was incredibly helpful that the team was so active on social media. I got to see so many different examples of what past couples had done to customize the space for their wedding. It made it that much easier to narrow down my options and truly envision how it would look. Something I would have never known I needed was the built-in day of coordinator every Ashland couple gets for their wedding. We had the wonderful Amanda as our DOC and I was blown away by how she was able to set up all of our decor exactly how I wanted it. And then furthermore, when it came to packing up at the end of the night, it was done so quickly, with nothing left behind. Not to mention, the entire day went so smoothly, and I felt confident in what we were doing every step of the way. I really can't recommend this venue enough. 10/10

CEI was the perfect space for our wedding day! The conservatory was gorgeous and the acoustics were great for our guests to hear the officiant and our vows loud and clear. The outdoor spaces offer a wide variety of photoshoot opportunities. Because the venue manages so many weddings, we felt that our onsite wedding planner was a little frazzled at times. Nonetheless, our day of coordinator did a great job and reassured us that we were in good hands. The day went smoothly and everyone had a wonderful time.

If you are looking for a venue that is going to take care of you and make sure your day is better than you could have imagined, use them! As a couple planning our wedding remotely from CO, they made it so easy. The communication from all of the staff was fantastic, and a special shout out to the coordinator, Aalea, who made the day truly come to life. Starting at our rehearsal dinner, she fully took over, and I had no concerns what so ever. She made sure my husband and I had a drink in our hand all night long - I didn't go to the bar myself once! It was the most beautiful night, the set up was beyond what I visioned. We cannot recommend The Booking House more.

Our wedding was originally planned for May of 2020. Pre-COVID, Ashley was very communicative and answer every question timely making us elated with our venue of choice. Once COVID hit we had to adjust our wedding timeline to July. Ashley went above and beyond to help us make all accommodation changes. She kept us informed of protocol and helped us ensure we could still have our wedding while following all safety measures needed for COVID. While our wedding had many bumps, none of them were because of the Anthracite Center and if we needed a redo, we would chose them over and over again.

Curtis Arboretum was a breathtaking venue and the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. From the moment we arrived to the final dance, everything looked and felt magical. Our guests raved about the food, the grounds, and the overall experience. However, we did experience several disappointments that left us, as the bride and groom, feeling a bit forgotten. We missed out on key elements we were especially excited about, including the Seoul Kitchen station during cocktail hour and gelato chipwiches. While our guests enjoyed them, we never got to try either. The chipwiches were advertised as butlered to the dance floor, but never came out. After trying to get information from the coordinators, a bridal party member ended up making a tray himself and bringing it to us. We also didn’t receive several passed appetizers, the harvest table, or any table wine service during dinner. VIP drink service was inconsistent as us and our parents rarely received drinks from the staff. Dessert was served without notifying the emcee, so many guests (including us) missed it entirely. We only had the ceremonial bite of our wedding cake and didn’t get to enjoy any of the dessert stations. Sadly, the top layer of our cake, meant to be saved for our anniversary, was placed in a car staying overnight and ended up having to be thrown away. That tradition is now lost to us. We’ve shared our honest feedback with the venue and were met with a polite “thank you, we’ll share this with the staff,” along with a pitch to book another event. While these issues didn’t ruin our day in the slightest, they did impact our experience as the couple. Future couples: advocate for yourselves and confirm all promised services in writing to ensure you get what you’re paying for!! Curtis Arboretum is a beautiful venue, and we’re grateful for the memories, but we hope future weddings receive more attentive service for the couple at the center of it all.

From the first tour to the actual wedding day, our experience with everyone at Stokesay was incredible. Maureen was an absolute dream as our coordinator. The food was a huge hit. All of the servers and staff were so sweet and genuinely lovely to be around. The venue itself is right out of a fairytale and allowed for us to enjoy all of the whimsical vibes we always wanted. The recently renovated Princess Suite is amazing. So spacious, wonderful lighting, all around a lovely space to get ready in. We found most of our vendors through the bridal showcase that Stokesay hosts, and everyone on their list of preferred vendors that we patronized were amazing as well. We are thrilled with how the entire process went and will cherish the memories made on our wedding day our entire lives. We're also lucky to live close enough to be able to come back and enjoy the Knight's Pub whenever we want to revisit that magical atmosphere.

The Barn at Silverstone is hands down the most gorgeous wedding venue with best in class service. I truly cannot express how wonderful this venue is, from the stunning reception barn, to the breathtaking ceremony spaces, the unique cocktail hour space, beautiful scenery, and most of all, the kind and professional staff. Miranda and Kristy are absolutely spectacular - they supported my husband and I throughout the whole process. On the day of, everything went SO smoothly thanks to them. They gracefully guided us throughout the day, making sure we were comfortable and that all of our requests and wishes were taken care of.

The Drexelbrook did an excellent job hosting our baby shower. Their buffet and dessert bar options were delicious and plentiful.They took good care of our guests who needed vegan, gluten-free options or a kid's meal.One of the highlights of our celebration was a "make your own bouquet" bar for guests. It was an option that Drexelbrook suggested, based on our shower theme. They worked with us to ensure that we could decorate and arrange the space to meet the needs of our event.
