Tobacco Barn

Every love has a story to tell. We make it easy to tell yours.

The “little sister” of the Grand Barn, the Tobacco Barn can certainly hold its own when it comes to beauty and craftsmanship. Recently restored, this gem offers a bridal couple a unique venue for their ceremony or the perfect back up plan in case of inclement weather. Boasting gorgeous white beams accented with the original antique hardware and the most incredible floor and stage area you could imagine. Just as they did for drying the tobacco that hung from the rafters, large hinged panels and small louvers prop open and make this a unique showpiece that just cannot be found elsewhere.

“Grand”

Grand Barn

It’s your love story. Tell it well.

As the only truly historically preserved barn in the tri-state area, the Grand Barn is a gem. Built in 1820 with rafters reaching 35 feet high and over 3600 square feet of floor space it is the perfect melding of rustic elements and elegant accents. The ivory ceiling draping falls in soft romantic billow as it hangs from rafters high above. The sparkle of chandelier lighting adds the perfect touch.

    I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible this venue is. Dawn and Brian are absolutely amazing and have such a great team here at the Homestead. You can tell how much they genuinely care about their couples and how family-oriented they are! From our first visit to the venue, we felt so comfortable here and so excited for our wedding. They have also built the ultimate preferred vendor team that works together so well and makes the day run incredibly smoothly. You can feel the love as everyone we talked to about the Homestead is so excited to be a part of any Homestead wedding day! The staff went above and beyond every step of the way to ensure our day was amazing. Dawn and Brian both worked tirelessly to help us carry out our vision for our wedding day putting in many hours answering all our questions and making sure we felt prepared and excited. Everything was perfect for us thanks to both of them, the rest of the team, and our amazing Stoltzfus coordinator, Ginger! We had such a beautiful and stress-free day! Our guests raved about the gorgeous venue and how they had the best time exploring the property and being able to enjoy the lawn as well as both beautiful barns and everything in-between. Thank you so much to Dawn, Brian, Ginger, and the entire Stoltzfus Homestead team!

    I really can not say enough about this venue, the thoughtful & amazing owners & the homestead staff. The entire experience was nothing short of what every bride should experience while planning their wedding. All my endless questions/ emails/concerns addressed immediately, the many helpful & extremely informative tips&emails from the owners throughout the planning, and the amazing wedding coordinator they pair you with. Every person who works at this venue goes above & beyond, but especially the owners & coordinator. There was a mix up with our cake vendor, and we were left with NO CAKE on our wedding day. Before I was even informed of this hiccup, the owner Brian went out to the grocery store and bought a little birthday cake for us. Our coordinator took off all of the confetti and made it a beautiful white "sweetheart" cake to make sure we at least had something to cut. That is the definition of going above & beyond for one of their couples & shows truly how genuine they are. This is such a beautiful venue with many new additions being added throughout the years! The bridal suite is also an absolute dream. I had the best time getting ready with my girls in it. My husband and I are so grateful we had our wedding here & even more grateful for the relationships we've gained because of it! Brian, Dawn, Chela especially, we love you guys so much & will always remember your kindness!

    When searching for our wedding venue- we reviewed and saw many sites -we wanted a venue that felt like lancaster but was also modern- Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was that and SO much more. In the end we felt like we were part of the family. There is history on site with the tobacco barn and grand barn while also being updated and always adding something special like the secret garden where we had our first look. Dawn, one of the co owners- is personable and detailed, your wedding will go off without a hitch. When booking you have to choose one of their DJs and Caterers from their preferred vendor list-this is so helpful because it narrows down from the abundance of vendors out there while also allowing you the freedom to choose what you want to spend. closer to the wedding we worked more with Brian and Matt-they are some of the hardest workers I know-ensuring your day goes as you wish and keeping the property trim and clean. I could say so much about this venue, it truly was the perfect day and one we will reflect on for the rest of our lives. We wish we could relive our day-but writing these reviews and trips back to the site will have to do! -Allie, Logan and Parker
