The Manor at Mountain View 

4.9

Harrisburg, PA
  • Up to 325 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,400

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.

The Manor at Mountain View was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We could not be more happy with our experience! From the beginning, the communication through email was prompt and responsive, with the team answering all of our questions in a timely manner. On the day of, the venue's large, gorgeous space exceeded our expectations, with the bridal suite and groom's tavern being absolutely perfect. Every inch of this property, indoors & outdoors, was absolutely stunning & perfect for photos. Every guest has mentioned how beautiful our venue was! And the entire staff, especially Ella and Angi, were so kind and helpful, making us feel like our wedding day was as important to them as it was to us. They took care of everything, so I didn't have to worry about a single detail - I could just focus on getting married. All of the decorations were beautifully set up, and they were even happy to accommodate any additional items we provided. I would highly recommend The Manor at Mountain View to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding day.

The entire staff at Bear Creek made our day stress free and so special! They were so accommodating and made sure everything went so smoothly. Even with torrential rain, they transitioned everything indoors so seamlessly but our ceremony was still so beautiful and cozy. The price was a little higher than a DIY venue, but it includes amazing service and attention to detail, an event coordinator to keep things running smoothly, and extras. There were 3 weddings going on at our same wedding time and we wouldn’t have had any idea. Would definitely recommend!

Where to begin!? The Hertzog family puts their heart and soul into this venue, you and your special day. Kristen, Scott and Makayla were delightful to work with, understanding our unique needs and helping us plan for a safe and special day during a pandemic. They are thorough, kind and truly put the needs and desires of the couple above all. To add, we rented out the entire B&B and our guests truly loved their experience at both the wedding and as a B&B guest. While barn weddings aren't for everyone, I highly encourage DIYers and those looking for a special place with character to partner with the Hertzog family and let them help make your dreams a reality!
