Harmony Hall Estate 

4.5

Middletown, PA
  • Up to 285 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

ALL INCLUSIVE WEDDING VENUE! Confused by all the choices? Not sure where to start? Harmony Hall Estate offers Endless Possibilities for YOUR Dream Wedding Day! 10 Outdoor Ceremony Sites & Indoor Ceremony Site Private Use of Farm House with Bridal Suite with Salon & Grooms Area Onsite Catering OR Use Any Caterer Wedding Planning Assistance Included Day of Wedding Coordinator Included Interest Free Monthly Payment Plans Free honeymoon studio room at Confresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort Now Offering Honeymoon Packages and Destination Wedding Planning!

My husband and I decided to get married last-minute due to my mom's late cancer diagnosis and terminal prognosis. With only two months, our options for venues were very limited. Harmony Hall Estate quickly became the obvious choice! PROS: Their pricing package is flexible, with lots of options to tailor your experience to your budget. With great options for in-house catering and decorating, you'll save a lot of money and time on both. You can also pay an additional fee to bring in outside caterers. The food at our wedding came from Karen's Catering, their in-house caterer. We enjoyed our dishes at dinner and during cocktail hour. The pretzel cart absolutely hit the spot, though, and was a hit with our guests. Overall, I'd say the food was satisfying. The bar options, like the food packages, are quite flexible. We chose to prepay our bar tab for our guests, which allowed us to be open bar up to a certain price. We were able to add more to that tab via cash during the wedding. The venue itself is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor location choices for your ceremony. The location is convenient, with hotels nearby and shuttles that run you and your guests to and from the venue. The farmhouse to get ready in is gorgeous and historic, making it a wonderful location for pictures. There are plenty of places on the property for taking beautiful portraits with your partner and family. The ballroom is spacious, with flexible floor plans that Jill will work with you to design. You'll receive access to Aisle Planner when you book with Harmony Hall Estate, which is a nice online service to upload all of your wedding information. Included is a service to make your reception floor plan. CONS: I was told the key to the farmhouse would be placed in the lockbox, but couldn't find it morning of. None of the contacts at Harmony Hall answered when I called, and it took us nearly 45 minutes of searching to finally find the key in a mailbox. We lost a lot of valuable time to get ready, which created stress, and on top of that the farmhouse was so hot that my bridesmaids and I were sweating bullets while trying to do our hair and makeup. The temperature inside the building was in the mid and upper seventies, which was brutal with so many people and hot hair tools on. Additionally, while they have plenty of pricing options, I will say that their information package is somewhat confusing and rather lengthy. It could be tweaked to be more streamlined for the sake of clarity. The crab dip that we paid extra for during cocktail hour was disappointing. I don't recommend paying the upcharge for it, sadly. It's also good to keep in mind that you will pay the same price for a vendor's plate as you will one of your guests. This wasn't communicated to me until I asked, so I do recommend that the staff at Harmony Hall make sure their clients are aware of this. Our bartender, though kind, was unfamiliar with many of today's popular drinks and was rather slow, which was disappointing. OVERALL: Harmony Hall Estate is a great venue for a budget-friendly, beautiful wedding! I'd like to add as a disclaimer that our timeline for wedding planning was especially short, so some of the shortcomings when it comes to clarity/explanations of things may very well just be due to our rushed timeline. Since we are based in Kentucky, it made it harder to communicate effectively with Jill and the team at Harmony Hall.

Valley Run Farm

Etters, PA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

We established our farm in 1981. Over the years, we have had the pleasure of providing our family and friends a beautiful scenic space for unforgettable celebrations. Valley Run Farm has hosted weddings, anniversaries, retirement parties, farm-themed birthdays, company and charitable events, and farm festivals. With all that Valley Run Farm has to offer, we couldn’t just keep it to ourselves, and decided to open our event venue to the community in 2020 so others may enjoy our setting. We’re excited to share our property with you and look forward to making a unique lasting impression on you and your guests!

Our wedding at Valley Run Farm was absolutely lovely and working with the Yost family was exceptional. Lynn was extremely helpful in every aspect. From beginning to end, her friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail was spot on. The venue was able to accommodate our large wedding party and guests comfortably. They converted a pole barn/riding arena into a charming reception area which includes a bar, restrooms, 2 secluded bridal party rooms, and an outside patio area with exceptional views. In addition to the beautiful wooden tables and chairs, Lynn offered items, like table clothes, vases, lanterns, and other rustic decorations that we used on our special day. The Yost family was onsite and available for anything we needed during the rehearsal dinner and wedding day! I can’t thank them enough for making our best day perfect!

The Manor at Mountain View 

5.0

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 couldn't have picked a better place to get married. Everyone told me to expect at least one thing to go wrong on my wedding day. The only bad thing that happened was that it rained! (Obviously uncontrollable) however, the coordinators still made it perfect. The inside was set up perfectly. I only truly wanted our pictures outside. They literally followed me around with umbrellas and followed my bridesmaids around with hair dryers to dry our dresses and keep us looking our best all while they were getting wet! I received SO many compliments on my wedding. Multiple people during the days after said it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended!

Working with Caitlyn and their recommended venues made my life so easy in planning because I was sure the whole day would turn out beautifully. We got married in July on what felt like one of the hottest days of the year, but all of our guests still had an amazing time and took complete advantage of the beautiful landscape and spaces HSL has to offer such as the gazebo, reception tent, green house, etc. When I started looking for a venue, I was keeping in mind something unique, natural looking, and beautiful and HSL was all of those things.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've drafted many versions of this review because it is so hard to do justice to the wedding experience we had with Historic Ashland (end of May 2024). From the minute we drove onto the property as prospective clients, to our exit at the end of our wedding night more than a year later, we had one fantastic interaction after the next with Leah, Amanda and team. I am a discerning person with extreme attention to detail, and I can honestly say that Historic Ashland is run flawlessly and with utmost respect and attention to their clients. From many months of planning to seeing it all come to life the day-of, I am still in awe of how perfect our day turned out. The property renovations were incredibly done with all modern amenities and events in mind, while maintaining the charm and historic qualities (not many 1800s barns out there that are immaculately clean with climate control!) We loved being able to have three separate feeling "events" on the property (ceremony outdoors under beautiful mature trees along a creek, cocktail hour on patio/lodge 1st floor, and dinner/dancing on lodge 2nd floor). Our guests traveled from far and wide, and everyone "got it" as soon as they arrived at Ashland - they saw what a truly unique and special place it is! Furthermore, Ashland's relationships with the vendor community gave us so many options to create a custom experience that was beyond what we could have hoped for. It is so common these days to be slightly underwhelmed by things, and I can say without a doubt Historic Ashland, their team, and all of the vendors completely exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be more appreciative, and choosing this as our venue was the absolute best decision. Our family & friends are still raving about it being the best wedding they've been to - and we agree! We are left with a lifetime of memories and will always reflect fondly on our day at Historic Ashland. THANK YOU!

The Box Hill Mansion was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding day. Kelsey and her team were fantastic to work with - they were always responsive over email, which was our preferred method of communication. On the day-of, Kelsey went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. When a few small things were forgotten or misplaced, like a printed copy of our vows or a forgotten groomsman's Polaroid camera, Kelsey quickly handled it so we didn't have to worry. She brought in an extra camera, printed my vows for me, in addition to the missing marriage certificate. The venue itself is gorgeous, and Kelsey's attention to detail ensured our wedding was magical and unforgettable. I was so thrilled with the quality of food and service from every staff member. From the communication to the exceptional service, we were so grateful to have our wedding at the Box Hill Mansion. We'd highly recommend them to any engaged couple looking for a venue that offers both elegance and top-notch coordination.
