This was the easiest decision to make when planning our wedding. We originally planned on going through Allegheny County Parks and renting a shelter but we had issues as we wanted to rent Veteran’s Day Weekend and the Parks Department wasn’t open. So my husband found The Stables, and after 10 minutes of touring and talking to Jaclyn, we were sold. The space is gorgeous, very accommodating, and Jaclyn is now one of my favorite people. She made sure everything was perfect, even standing up for me when I was too afraid to ask for specific things with a vendor. She takes care of the event, the coordination day-of, and the people, which is rare. Looking back, I get the wedding-bell blues for the fact that my time at The Stables and with Jaclyn is over, but I will hold other events there in the future, without a doubt! Super close to a lot of shops and amenities, can’t go wrong. The Stables will have a special place in my heart for years to come.

Glen Eden Barn 
Evans City, PA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Originally built in 1860 along Glen Eden Road, the barn, owned by the estate of Gene and Dee Graham, descendants of early settler of Cranberry Township, Matthew Graham, was slated to be sold as part of a real estate development and eventually torn down. The barn and farmhouse had been in the Graham family since its original construction, but was restored by Gene and Dee in the 1950’s as they started their own dairy farm, Brookvue Acres. For the next half century, the barn was the epicenter of daily life for the Graham family. All six children and numerous farm hands pitched in to help run the dairy. Resigned to spend more time with their grandchildren, the Grahams retired in 1998, happily closing that chapter of their life. Their legacy carries on in Graham Park, a donation of their farmlands to the community, in Cranberry Twp.
