I have to first start this review by speaking about Maggie. When we decided to book a month/day of coordinator I’m not sure what we expected but Maggie was above and beyond anything we imagined. She was kind, so organized, and did so many behind the scenes things that I’m genuinely touched by her attention to detail and her effort on our wedding day. My husband and I felt like we were able to truly be present with our loved ones on our day because of Maggie and the Harper team, which was so important to us. She made our wedding vision come to life and I was blown away seeing everything put together that we planned for over a year. I knew after the first conversation my husband and I had with Maggie that she would be on top of everything on the big day and handle any issues that could arise. For as much as you plan, things pop up and you’re going to want to go with a person who can handle things with grace. That’s Maggie and the Harper team. As someone who wasn’t sure if a day of coordinator was necessary, after booking with Maggie - that decision was the best one we made. Every venue would be so lucky to have their own Maggie. About the Harper Event Venue itself- If lived in PA I would be annoyingly recommending them to my neighbors but the next best thing I can do is write this review and say that as an out of town bride I am beyond thankful we booked The Harper for our wedding. It was our dream venue, it has a beautiful outdoor area where we had the ceremony facing the pond and our pictures turned our gorgeous with the modern farmhouse style of the venue. We loved that it’s a “blank canvas” inside that we could create our own style which made the planning process more fun. Our guests were blown away by the venue, and I’m so happy we got married at The Harper. If you’re considering The Harper, don’t wait- book this venue asap! I wish we lived in PA so we could attend more weddings there!

The Place at 534 was an absolute dream for our wedding on September 6, 2025! Having everything all-inclusive took so much of the guesswork and stress out of planning. They truly think of every detail to make sure your day goes smoothly. The staff are incredibly kind and thoughtful, making you feel important every step of the way. With how busy they are and all the weddings they host, I was amazed at how personalized the planning process and wedding day felt. We booked our date three years in advance, and it was worth every second of the wait! Jess and Logan went above and beyond on the day of—checking in often and quickly handling any little hiccups. Audrey and Doug, along with Jess and Logan, were all so amazing throughout the planning process, and we are so grateful for their guidance. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful and special the venue and day were. The food, flowers, photographers, baker, décor, wait staff, and more were all top-notch! The Place at 534 also gave us excellent recommendations for vendors outside of their contract, such as hair & makeup and shuttle services, which made everything even easier. Our wedding day truly was the best day of our lives, and The Place at 534 made our dream come true!

Imagine this: You step onto plush grass that feels cool to the touch under your bare feet. The wind is blowing gently off what appears to be an endless body of water that stretches to the horizon. You walk past the white, sandy beach where a bon fire is burning and hear laughter as friends share drinks and stories. The twinkling lights, music, and dancing beckons you towards a tiki bar where a bartender is serving up fizzy drinks and fun cocktails. You stop. You soak in this moment. You smile as you run towards the dance floor and realize: this is my wedding day.
