    Perfect wedding weekend at Sylvan Ridge!

    Sylvan Ridge Farm was the perfect choice for our wedding weekend. From our first conversation, Alyssa totally understood us — she was thorough, kind, and clear about what Sylvan Ridge could offer us, which made planning feel easy and stress-free. They recommended incredible local vendors like John's of Arthur and connected us with talented waitresses who understood our vision perfectly. What really set them apart was how they created a space where our friends and family could relax together for the entire weekend—everything was handled so we could just enjoy the moments. The event spaces were beautiful and flexible, letting us bring our wedding day together exactly how we imagined it. We can't thank Sylvan Ridge Farm enough for making our weekend so special and unique.

    Sylvan Ridge Farm

    We chose Sylvan Ridge Farm for our daughter's wedding and couldn't have been happier with our decision. The team was efficient and friendly throughout the entire planning process, which made hosting the event feel effortless. Having everything in one place—from the ceremony to the reception to family overnight rooms—took so much stress off our shoulders and kept everyone together. The venue's casual elegance was exactly what we wanted, and we didn't have to worry about weather or juggling multiple vendors since Sylvan Ridge coordinated everything seamlessly. Our family felt so taken care of, and our guests raved about how special the day was. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free venue.

    Karen, thank you so much for this lovely review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and are so glad to hear your daughter had the perfect wedding weekend.

    Wedding of our dreams at Sylvan Ridge

    Sylvan Ridge Farm gave us the wedding of our dreams. If this special location is available, BOOK IT NOW! From the moment we found Sylvan Ridge, we knew it was the perfect venue for us, and our entire experience exceeded every expectation we had. The grounds and the barn are absolutely stunning, the staff is so easy to work with, and the location is conveniently located just a mile from the hotels and the highway. Alyssa Huddleston, our incredible wedding planner provided by the venue, went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us, not just during our wedding weekend, but throughout the entire planning process, even helping with a few final logistics after the wedding weekend was over. Alyssa was always available for advice, whether it was timeline planning or small details like where to order our after-party food from. She is a planning queen - truly the best to ever do it, and we're so thankful to have had her by our side on our wedding weekend. Our wedding day itself went absolutely perfectly because of Alyssa and her team. On the morning of our wedding, she realized I didn’t bring enough candles (completely my fault), and without hesitation, her team drove to Walmart to buy more. I didn’t even know this happened until the next day! That’s the level of care and professionalism they brought to everything. Alyssa's team was just as amazing. Kelly literally had my lip gloss open and ready at any moment and was so funny and fun to be around. Dylan was kind, respectful, and always willing to help with any task, big or small. The entire team brought the best energy - calming but so much fun, and they made sure the entire weekend flowed seamlessly. A family member (who can be very critical) even texted me the next day saying it was the most thoughtfully planned, best wedding they’d ever been to. We are extremely grateful to Alyssa and the entire Sylvan Ridge team for the best weekend of our lives!

    Linnea GenoJan 5, 2026

    We can't thank you enough for taking the time to write such a lovely and thoughtful review! We actually read it out lout at our end of year staff party and toasted to Alyssa, Kelly, and Dylan :)) It was such a pleasure working with you and we wish you nothing but happiness!

    The Best Venue

    Sylvan Ridge Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, professional, and incredibly accommodating. The quality of their work and overall value is unmatched - the property is clean, stunning, and so comfortable for our guests. Our month-of planner, Alyssa, made the entire planning process seamless. She handled all the final details with our vendors and helped us plan out every second of the day, allowing us to truly make our wedding exactly what we wanted. Having the venue for 72 hours, being able to bring in our own decor and vendors, and having beautiful on-site accommodations for our close friends and family was such a unique and convenient experience. The land, views, farmhouse, and cottage are all absolutely stunning. We could not recommend Sylvan Ridge Farm enough for any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue!

    Linnea GenoJan 5, 2026

    Thank you Kristen! Alyssa is truly amazing at what she does :)) We're so glad you had a positive experience hosting your wedding at Sylvan Ridge.

    Best Wedding Venue!!

    Absolutely obsessed with this venue. The barn and property were beautiful, the breathtaking views of the mountains made pictures so beautiful. Getting to have the venue for the whole weekend really helped to relax both before and after the wedding. We got to spend more time with our bridal party and soak in the whole weekend with them. The owners and coordinators were so amazing, they were always easy to talk to and super communicative throughout the whole process. Highly recommend this venue!

    Linnea GenoNov 14, 2025

    Thank you for the kind words! What a beautiful weekend, and it was a true pleasure working with you both. :))


Yes! BYOB is legal in Pennsylvania, so for cost-effectiveness, couples typically provide the alcohol and hire bartenders to serve. We permit wine, beer, or other beverages below 15% alcohol by volume to be self-serve. However, it is our policy that you must have a professional bartender if you plan to serve hard liquor and/or mixed drinks over 15% alcohol by volume.
There is a 50-car paved parking lot on site and PLENTY of grass overflow parking, as well as four paved spaces adjacent to the house and cottage for overnight guests and/or accessible parking. Since we are located on a winding road and guests often enjoy several alcoholic beverages, we do encourage couples to consider arranging a shuttle service to nearby hotels for the convenience and safety of guests staying off-site.
Yes! We have gone to great lengths to make sure guests of all ability levels can fully enjoy our events. The barn has a lift between upper and lower levels, and restrooms comply fully with ADA guidelines. While the second floors of the farmhouse and cottage are only reachable by stairs, both have a wheelchair-accessible entry, as well as sleeping spaces and bathrooms on the ground floor.
We try to keep it simple! Sylvan Ridge takes a 25% deposit when you sign the booking agreement, and three additional 25% payments at intervals of one year, six months, and one month prior to the wedding.
Our property is fully insured, but like most venues, we require couples to take out a single-day event insurance policy for the day of the wedding.
We don't have a guest minimum! Our guest maximum is 150 for events with buffet or stations-style meals, and 170 for events with plated, family-style, or food truck meals. We can accommodate up to 15 overnight guests in the farmhouse and cottage.
Yes, these are included in our weekend wedding package! Couples can hold smaller side events on site for no extra charge, provided they fall within your 72-hour rental period. Depending on size, our indoor/outdoor cocktail area (seating for 50+ guests) and the main floor & adjoining porch of the farmhouse (table, couch & armchair seating for 20+ guests) are both lovely spaces for more intimate gatherings.
We provide seating for outdoor ceremonies, wood tables & chairs for receptions, and a variety of display tables. You or your caterer must provide any table linens and place settings. ​Our spacious event barn renders tents (other than small popup tents for caterers or other vendors) unnecessary.
