Beth and her team were incredible and always on the ball with questions and concerns and were always there to problem solve with me. Myself and many other guests had multiple food allergies and they were able to manage each one flawlessly. Additionally, due to weather issues and a last minute switch of guests, Beth and her team were able to handle without a problem. I would highly recommend Beth and the Hilton Harrisburg for your wedding and other events!

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 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 cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and about Angie, who owns and coordinates it. From the very beginning, her guidance made the entire planning process so much easier during an otherwise hectic time. She was organized, supportive, and truly a calming presence from start to finish. One of the biggest blessings was the all-inclusive décor. It took such a huge weight off my shoulders, and everything looked absolutely stunning. The venue itself is beautiful, and even on a chilly, overcast November day it felt intimate, warm, and completely enchanting. As for the wedding day, I swear it went off without a hitch. And if anything did go wrong, my husband and I were blissfully unaware, which is exactly what you want on your big day. The entire team clearly knows what they’re doing. It’s a well-run establishment with people who genuinely care about making your wedding perfect. I am so grateful we chose this venue. Not only is the space incredible, but the people behind it truly make the experience unforgettable. I would recommend them a thousand times over.

Wind In The Willows was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, friendly and thorough - they made us feel like valued clients, not just customers. The venue itself is naturally gorgeous and impeccably well-maintained, with beautiful landscaping and a charming, rustic feel. On top of that, their affordable pricing made it an incredible value. They went above and beyond to make us feel special, from the decorations shed full of items we could use, to the open houses they host to help couples plan, to the annual holiday party for all their newlyweds. As a family-owned, LGBTQ-friendly business, we felt so welcomed and cared for throughout the entire process. If you're looking to work with people who truly care, this is the venue for you. Advice: Request Lisa and Patrick as your Day of Host, they are the closest thing to a Day of Coordinator. They’re so kind and did every job we asked them to do, from lighting candles, moving flowers, golf-carting grandparents, lighting sparklers and more!

The Willis House is a gorgeous wedding venue with a naturally beautiful house and landscape, tucked away in North York. Lisa and Todd put countless hours of work into the upkeep of this stunning property. Many of our guests complimented us on our selection of wedding venue and on how courteous the owners were. From the first meeting through the cleanup process, Lisa and Todd were phenomenal to work with. They worked tirelessly on the day of the wedding to help set up, coordinate vendors, direct traffic, assist guests, and clean up. We appreciated the exceptional guidance and assistance they offered during the preparation for the big day. Lisa followed up with all of our questions and requests in a timely manner. They went above and beyond to make our wedding a day to remember.

We just recently had our wedding in May and mount Hope made it incredible. They have some of the nicest staff members and each of them were always helping us out with all the tiny details of everything. We always felt like they listened to everything we wanted and there was no push back on anything. They accommodated to everything we wanted to accomplish to where the day flew by with no issues. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the servers, the employees, and also about how beautiful everyone thought the venue was. Brandy and Nicole were incredible throughout the process and they made it so much easier on us. Though the wedding planning was stressful, every time we had to meet up with Brandy, we felt relived afterwards because she always made us feel at ease. We originally planned for an outdoor ceremony, but due to weather, we had to move it inside. It turned out beautiful and Mount Hope was so flexible with it to make it a smooth process. We also had incredible reviews about the food. We would highly recommend doing Cannolis and the pretzel late night snack bar! The venue itself is gorgeous and offers a lot of cool photo opportunities. The staff was extraordinary and so kind. Overall, Mount Hope made our day spectacular and their attention to detail was astounding. We didn’t have to worry about anything going wrong because they knew how to take care of everything. Special shoutout to Brandy and Nicole! We love you both!! We would strongly recommend couples to choose this venue. It’s worth it and your guests will love it too!

From our tour to our big day, HA was different. We knew that the moment we arrived for our tour. I remember looking at my fiancé and beaming during our tour because, without even speaking, we both knew this was it—this was where we’d say “I Do.” The day couldn’t have been more magical. There’s so much stress in the planning process and the day of was the easiest part. My fiancés jacket ripped 20 minutes before the ceremony and one of my bridesmaids lost her bouquet. A sewing kit saved the day and the jacket was quickly fixed, and cocktail hour arrangement was repurposed into a bridesmaid bouquet 10 minutes before the ceremony. Zip tied and ribboned (which was identical to the others). I didn’t even have time to panic before a solution came along. Our Day of Coordinator, Kirsten was always calm, cool, and collected. I never once panicked. Never broke a sweat. Leah, the venue owner, was also there on our big day. Between the two of them, there was zero chance of the day being anything less than amazing. My wife always wanted a wedding, I always wanted to elope. I couldn’t be happier that I let her win that battle. Booking HA was the best decision we made throughout the process. I would do it a million times over. You will never regret booking at HA.

We held our micro wedding in early November 2025. Kim made sure every detail was handled, and went above and beyond. Her staff was very helpful and everything went so smoothly. Our breakfasts were delicious, highly recommend renting the whole b&b for the weekend (so low stress, we arrived and unpacked Friday and did rehearsal, then married Saturday and checked out Sunday morning). Beautiful site and views for fall, expertly coordinated, so stress free and wonderful. A lot of thoughtful work went into making this event of 50 people so seamless and easy we didn’t need a wedding coordinator. Food and dessert was chosen by us in advance but coordinated by the venue, so easy! Additionally the florals Kim picked were perfect. Our guests stayed in town at the Comfort suites which was an easy uber for them. The wedding party stayed onsite, worked out beautifully. Thank you Fallen Tree Farm, the owners, and staff. Also very affordable all inclusive micro wedding package!

First, I want to start off by saying I wrote this entire review and then accidentally deleted it - but I am re-writing the review because I loved the Booking House that much!!!!! My wife and I got married here almost three months ago and we had the most amazing experience. It was the very first wedding venue we toured and we were instantly in love: from the beautiful chandeliers, the large getting ready rooms for both wedding parties, the exposed brick, having the entire venue to yourself, etc - it was stunning and we knew we wanted to get married here! Our main point of contact was Brittany, who was amazing to work with. She was so responsive, had great ideas, and made the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She also provided a list of "suggested vendors" (we booked the majority of their suggested vendors with the exception of hair/makeup, florals, and photography), and their recommendations were 10/10. We also hired the Booking House's bartending team and Day of Coordinating team, which we definitely recommend. Our Day of Coordinator, Aalea, was the absolute best!!! She made sure our drinks were always full, she always had a smile on her face, she hustled around to make sure everything was perfect, packed up everything for us, etc - we literally did not worry about ONE SINGLE THING on our wedding day because we knew we had the best team on our side. Lastly, we had a longer engagement and we were booked at the Booking House for almost 2 years before our wedding. Throughout those 2 years, we went to their Open House and a “signature cocktail” event, which was SO helpful! Not sure if other venues have a “Signature cocktail” event also, but it helped make our day so special as we had unique cocktails on our bar menu. If you're thinking about having your wedding/special event here, pay your deposit and get to planning!!! You won't regret it.

I can’t say enough about how fantastic of a wedding we had at the Carlisle Pines. Tracey and Deb and the staff were wonderful to work with and helped us not only through our special evening but were there to work with us through payments, planning and organizing. They were patient with us and some of the best most honest people to work with. The venue is in a great secluded location with ample parking. There was plenty of space at the location for our party of 100 and could easily accommodate more. All throughout the night we received so many compliments of how nice the venue was. We can’t recommend this place enough for a wedding or even a corporate event or party. The photos don’t do the place justice for how nice it is. Thank you for everything!
