I worked together with Olga at Mountain Pearl for a styled photoshoot we did together this fall. As a wedding photographer who has shot hundreds of weddings in the area and beyond, I highly recommend them. The venue is beautiful and modern inside- a blank canvas for many different wedding styles. The outdoor area is stunning with mountain views, gorgeous blooms in season, a pond, greenhouse and tons of picturesque spots for photos! My favorite area of the venue was the greenhouse which (I think) is very unique to the area and the perfect spot for a microwedding, a ceremony or even a cocktail hour area. Mountain Pearl is a family run venue and you can tell they go above and beyond for anyone who visits. Olga and her family treated every vendor on site with such care and kindness. I can’t wait to go back for another wedding in the future! 10/10 recommend!!!

It’s hard to describe the feel of Wally Creek Farm until you’ve strolled through the fields to a creekside ceremony, stomped your feet to music in the barn or looked up to the star filled sky above the cow pastures. There’s a natural feeling of warmth and love that old barns and farm property brings out in people.

From the moment we first reached out to Wallenpaupack Creek Farm, we were impressed by their organized and friendly communication style. The venue itself is truly a hidden gem - a beautifully rustic and relaxing space that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. When unexpected snow hit on our wedding day in April, the staff at Wallenpaupack Creek Farm were right on top of it, making all the necessary accommodations to ensure our ceremony was just as magical indoors. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional and welcoming, and they rolled with the punches throughout the day. We had the absolute best time at our wedding, and it was definitely made better because of the incredible venue, staff and owners at Wallenpaupack Creek Farm. I wouldn't have changed a thing - our wedding day was absolutely perfect! P.S. - The farm also has cows!!

Stroudsmoor is the real deal. When we got engaged, my top priority was that I did not want to be stressed on my wedding day. Leading up to the day, I knew there was a lot of work, a lot of planning, but on my actual wedding day, I wanted to take care of nothing. I wanted to be in charge of nothing. I used to work in events, and I know the depth and insanity that comes with planning an event and how hard the actual event day can be. I knew that whatever venue we picked, it would need to be as all-inclusive and simple as possible. Everything about Stroudsmoor was a dream. The entire process was seamless. They were so professional. They were upfront on costs. Any service they did not offer themselves they had a list of preferred, recommended vendors. Leading up to the wedding day, we met with our planner, Kaylie, regularly, their on-site florist, Grayson, and Gina and the whole team at the bridal salon were incredible. They walked us through everything, step-by-step. We got married at Woodsgate this summer – surrounded by the forest, it was absolutely gorgeous and everything we could have hoped for. We are so happy we chose them and we will continue to recommend them to everyone! Photography Credit: Marshall Scott Photography https://marshallscottphotography.com/
