Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were thrilled with Wind In The Willows as our wedding venue. Their communication was consistently speedy, nice, and understanding throughout the planning process, which we really appreciated during this hectic time. The venue itself was beautiful, fun, affordable, and spacious - we were able to decorate the indoor and outdoor spaces with our own touches thanks to their generosity in letting us use their shed for decor storage. Our guests raved about the beautiful scenery and many photo ops around the property. We also appreciated the value, as they worked with our budget to create a magical day we'll never forget. If you're looking for a venue that feels like a storybook setting with owners who feel like family, we highly recommend Wind In The Willows!

Juniata Valley Winery 

5.0

Mifflin, PA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Aisling Hall is our rustic style venue that offers large doors that can be opened to enjoy the outdoors and our breathtaking vineyard. The hanging chandeliers and wooden beams create a simple, beautiful atmosphere to celebrate your special day. While planning, you have the choice of three outside ceremony locations. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to spend the weekend in our Bed & Breakfast, the Wilson House. Here you can accommodate up to fifteen individuals for overnight stays. The Manor is a Georgian style building with an elegant ballroom event space located in the mansion's sun room surrounded by glass doors. It also includes access to the parlor, music room and dinning room to create a memorable and engaging event for your guests. Our outdoor ceremony location for The Manor is simply stunning and the perfect location for photos with the pergola as the backdrop. The Manor overnight accommodations can sleep up to 22 people in our stylish rooms and suites.

My wedding was an absolute dream at JVW! Molly, the event manager, was amazing and helpful when I was planning my wedding. She was quick to respond and also helped talk through many things about the day so I could plan better. They set up the table and chairs for the reception, and advise you with your guest count how many tables are needed. I also told them how many chairs and they set all those up per table assignments so we did not have to do it while setting up other decor. They also set up all the other tables for you (food/DJ/welcome/cards&gifts), and steam all the linens. They do all the set up for the ceremony (chairs and if you use their arbor - decorations are yours to do). We booked for the weekend so we had overnight guests and stayed over night ourselves, the breakfast was delicious (complementary) and they provided snacks at the rooms which was great; I loved the snack choices and also some of them were made by the winery which I thought was a great touch! The venue is well managed (grass/landscaping was very nice) and there were always people there we could ask if we needed anything. They had people help park guests and golf cart service for some older family members. Finally, there was another wedding going on at the opposite end of the property and we were not bothered at all by their music or guests. One reason we chose to have our June wedding here was also due to the reception hall (Aisling Hall) being air conditioned. Our day was not too hot thankfully but the temp inside was perfect and the cake/cupcakes also held up due to this. It was a really great experience. The winery treated us, our guests, and our vendors with respect and made everyone feel welcome. As the bride, I felt there was plenty of communication with Molly, the order of events/questionnaire was very helpful (as well as the meetings I had with Molly), and I felt great when getting compliments about how gorgeous the venue was!!!

The General Potter Farm 

5.0

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

The General Potter Farm is an all-season venue for the ultimate in rustic barn weddings and events. Located just outside of State College, PA, the General Potter Farm sits on 12 acres of woods, fields and streams in Penns Valley. The Barn blends rustic charm and modern elegance, to offer the essential elements of successful, effortless entertaining. Our commitment to simple pleasures, organic beauty, and warm professionalism make this the perfect wedding or event 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!

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.
