The Inn at Leola Village is a beautiful place to have a rehearsal dinner or a wedding. The event space was decorated beautifully and the staff was friendly and helpful. The open bar package was great and the bar tenders were awesome. The food was so good and a lot of people complimented on how great everything was. I don't have one bad thing to say about this venue.

We used the General Potter Farm for our wedding May 4th, 2024 and it was amazing! They have a ton of outdoor ceremony options, but it rained on our wedding day but we were in luck as the GPF has an indoor option. They also have a large getting ready space for the bride and bridal party. I also recommend staying in the farmhouse (though it is an additional cost). It made things so much easier for us being on the property (also - rent the golfcart)! Keep in mind- they do not have tables or chairs so you will need to rent them elsewhere. We did not understand this when we first booked and got hit with a large rental fee a few months prior to the wedding. Yikes! Binky and Deb are so helpful and amazing to work with and are very easy going. I definitely recommend the GPF!
