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!

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!!!

We stumbled upon Nomad during a camping trip and fell in love with it and decided on our first visit that that’s where we were going to get married. We couldn’t be more happy with our decision. The food and drinks were spectacular and our guests raved about them. Precious was a great communicator over the months leading up to the wedding and went out of her way day of the wedding to make sure I had everything that I needed. I’m especially satisfied with the service we received, the staff went above and beyond to make sure guests were happy. I’d recommend Nomad to anyone that’s looking to get married or for any event they’re looking to have.

Whether you are celebrating a wedding, anniversary, reunion, social, corporate event or any other occasion, you should consider Whispering Pines of Carlisle Banquet Center as the setting to create your ever lasting memories.

I can’t say enough about how fantastic of a wedding we had at the Carlisle Pines. Tracey and Deb and the staff were wonderful to work with and helped us not only through our special evening but were there to work with us through payments, planning and organizing. They were patient with us and some of the best most honest people to work with. The venue is in a great secluded location with ample parking. There was plenty of space at the location for our party of 100 and could easily accommodate more. All throughout the night we received so many compliments of how nice the venue was. We can’t recommend this place enough for a wedding or even a corporate event or party. The photos don’t do the place justice for how nice it is. Thank you for everything!
