We are coming to this beautiful house for years and always enjoy our stay and the warm welcome by Anne. It is like coming home for us. The house is wonderfully furnished thanks to Anne and her family who have a very good eye for detail. Her dad built a lot of the furniture himself. We love to sit outside either on the porch or by the fireplace at the creek. The gardens are beautifully kept and with the house as a background, it is the perfect place for a wedding. We love this place so much and will keep coming back.

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!

Woodland Floral Design Co. 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Ephrata, PA

Proud Cat & Dog Mom // Your New Wedding Vendor BFF It’s never been just about pretty flowers to me. I started out in social work because I wanted to serve and connect with others. I first entered the floral design world as an intern in 2016 and noticed a lack of originality in designs and a need for more connection between the florist and the couple. When I started WFD in 2019, I decided to prioritize both artistic designs and building long-term relationships with each couple. Planning my own wedding in 2021 gave me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of receiving creative expertise and genuine support from wedding vendors.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond grateful for the exquisite floral arrangements by Misha (Woodland Florals) for our wedding day. Every detail, from the bouquets to the centerpieces, was meticulously crafted and stunningly beautiful. Misha perfectly captured our vision and style, incorporating our chosen colors and flowers flawlessly. Guests were in awe of the floral decor, and it truly elevated the ambiance of our venue and vision. Working with Misha was a pleasure; she was professional, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire process. When I described wanting something different, bold, and undeniably pretty for our bridesmaid bouquets, she took our vision and wove it into a masterpiece. She has this incredible knack for listening not just to what you say, but to what you want deep down. Her creations are not just flowers; they're a reflection of her artistry and her ability to capture the essence of your dreams. Her and her team’s expertise and creativity shone through, ensuring that our wedding day was adorned with floral arrangements that exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Misha, for contributing to our unforgettable day with your exceptional talent and dedication to perfection!

Hi, I'm Kelsey! I'm blessed with a loving husband, 3 kitties whom I adore and a plethora of interests. I love hiking with my husband, martial arts, playing music and singing, I'm crazy about animals, I'm absolutely fascinated by linguistics and other cultures. Also, & to my hubby, I'm rather nerdy (you'll see me rolling around in my limited edition Iron Man Hyundai, haha), so if you're into Star Wars, superheroes, etc., I'm sure we will get along just fine ;). What did I say about a plethora of interests? I've been doing photography passionately for at least 14 years. Any talent I have is God given and I do this all to bring fame to His name!

My husband and I worked with Paul for both our engagement session and wedding. Knowing nothing about CIP, we decided to work with them due to the affordability of their wedding packages and ample portfolio photos. It was important to us that we found someone who could capture both the sappiness and the goofiness of our relationship, and Paul nailed it. Not only was he personable and entertaining, he also knew exactly what he was doing. He asked us the right questions prior to the big day and made sure we knew what to expect, and he slid very easily into the role of MC, which made the event run so much smoother. Not only that, but the turnaround time for photos was FAST, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! I have nothing but praise for Paul and the CIP team and am so thankful we got the pleasure of working with them.

My earliest memories are always centered around picking flowers in my mothers gardens. I would grab one of the glass bottles she collected and play around with any flowers I could find. Flower design is my passion. My shop is located in our 150 year old barn that in itself is full of character. I try to be a vendor who is easy and fun to work with. I am human and understand money does not grow on trees so I try my hardest to work within the client's budget. Each bouquet I create tells a story, each unique beautiful.

Fiddlestix Florals and Wedding Coord provided excellent service for our wedding at the Belvedere Hotel. I mainly contacted Tiara while planning the wedding and she was always quick to communicate and ensured that we were always on the same page. She also accommodated some slight changes we made to design and quantity. The quality of the work and value was outstanding - the flowers they provided were beautiful and lasted a long time. I sent Tiara a few inspo pics with a short description of what I was envisioning, and she made it happen! She and her team went above and beyond and we received numerous compliments from our guests on the gorgeous floral arrangements. We are so grateful to Fiddlestix for contributing to making our special day perfect.

We had the BEST experience with having our wedding here. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and there are so many great options for ceremony spaces. It is also the perfect venue for any type of weather - rain or shine there is no stressing about your wedding day. The getting ready bridal suite was so spacious and beautiful. Dawn and Brian are the nicest people and their staff was exceptional. Having the “prop shop” is such a plus - we live out of state and didn’t have to worry about buying and bringing in all of our decor and furniture because it is all there for you! This venue is so organized with the planning process and know exactly how to make your day run smoothly. Every one of our guests commented on how beautiful the property and landscaping was. Having their preferred vendors list was also so nice because each vendor already knew how to best set up for the space. Communication with each person at this venue is prompt and they truly want to help you make your day happen the way you want it to. I am so grateful we chose to get married at Stoltzfus and HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone considering. Best choice we made!!

Helianthus and Lace is a wedding and event floral design business serving the deeply in love. Helianthus is the Latin term for sunflower and comes from the root Helio and Greek Helios, meaning Sun. As sunflowers are growing and beginning to bloom, they turn their heads towards the sun. I find this to be a great analogy for life - always look on the bright side. Flowers have been a part of my life since 2014, and I have been flowering weddings since 2018. I'm so glad you are here!

She was always available for a phone call and I could just tell that she gave her absolute all on the day-of. She even placed the tablecloths herself to make it look more fitting with the bud vases which I was so grateful for. The flowers were in amazing condition and I loved how they were ethically sourced.

Erica was awesome to work with. I was a little nervous about my wedding makeup since I do not normally wear a lot of makeup daily. Erica completely crushed my makeup trial and my wedding makeup. I wanted some glam for my wedding, but also wanted to look myself. Erica gave me a great natural and glam look. I loved the airbrush makeup as it was light and felt like I wasn’t even wearing makeup. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup. Also, everyone loved their look on the wedding day. It held up great throughout the night. Her touchup bag was so cute that she gave me to reapply later in the night. I absolutely loved working with Erica.

The Inn at Leola Village was absolutely phenomenal! From the very first interaction, Stephanie and Gianna were effective, friendly, and thoughtful in their communication, making the planning process a breeze. The value they provided was excellent - not only is the venue itself beautifully appointed, but so many conveniences were included for the price that it made our day run that much more smoothly. For example, Stephanie recommended we skip the traditional first dances and family speeches and instead just dance our guests right into the dining room to a small surprise set from our band! This really kicked off the party in a fun and lively way which set the tone for the entire night. Absolutely wonderful to work with, Stephanie and Gianna are true professionals, and all we had to do as the couple was show up and leave the rest to them. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding at The Inn at Leola Village.

Texas barbecue in Pennsylvania? Yes, it's possible. Luongo Barbecue recently relocated from Texas to PA, and we went out on a limb to book them without actually trying any of their food prior to the wedding. It may have been a risk, but it paid off even more than we could have imagined. The service was spectacular, and the food was top-notch. We've been eating the leftovers for the last week, and we still can't get enough. No matter what food you get from Luongo Barbecue, you will be extremely happy, but MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SMOKED CHICKEN NUGGETS!

Hiring Hannah and her AMAZING team was hands down the best decision I made as a bride! From Day 1, Hannah was caring, responsive, personable and VERY organized! She was an invaluable resource to me and my fiancé throughout the entire planning process. But, the month leading up to the Big Day, I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She communicated exceptionally well with all my vendors and created/distributed a timeline that made the Day Of flow seamlessly! She sent me reminders, kept me on task, alleviated my stress, all while helping me remember the reason we were doing this in the first place {all bc two people fell in love}! Hannah was my ROCK the entire wedding day. In the midst of so many emotions and people, whenever I would see her, I felt a sense of ease. Because she truly had EVERYTHING under control. Hannah and her team provided constant support. They guided me and the bridal party whenever we needed direction (and we needed a lot!) and lovingly advised me when I just couldn’t bear to make another decision. There was absolutely nothing that they weren’t willing to do; they made sure I didn’t get wet when the skies opened up as soon as we got to the church and even bustled my wedding gown at the reception!! I can’t say enough good things about this group. Hannah is extraordinary at what she does. Everyone deserves to have the magical day that I did, and it absolutely wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for her. I wish I could scream from the rooftops how grateful I am. So, do yourself a favor and call them!! They are as good as it gets. 3

We are so grateful to the entire team at Melhorn Manor for making our wedding day happen!! It's hard to even know where to begin - from start to finish, every detail of the day was magical thanks to the team's hard work and expertise. When my fiancé and I started the wedding planning process, we toured plenty of venues, but we knew right away that Melhorn Manor was different in the best way. We were used to being rushed through other venue tours, dismissed because our wedding wasn't big enough, and generally being made to feel more like dollar signs than excited newlyweds-to-be. But our experience at Melhorn Manor couldn't have been further from this - we met Allory for the tour, and before we took a step through the property, he took the time to introduce himself and the Melhorn family and to share the lovely story of how Melhorn Manor came about. We didn't feel rushed or pressured like we had at other venues, and Allory really took the time to understand our vision for our big day and help us imagine it around the property. We left that day glowing and feeling sure that "this is the one!" And how right we were!! We really can't say enough positive things about our wedding day. Getting ready in the amazing bridal suite and Groom's room was such a fun and special way to kick off the day. As the ceremony approached, it was so clear that the team was all working so hard to make sure all the decor was set up, every detail was thought through, and every moment went off without a hitch. What a special and humbling feeling it is to have so many people invested in making your special day as magical and memorable as you've always hoped it would be - it's impossible to express the depth of our gratitude. Our wedding day was quite a rainy one, but the Melhorn team had a plan for everything. Melhorn Manor had the most robust rain plan of any venue we toured: some venues' plans had felt more like an afterthought, while Melhorn offers an entirely separate building that can be used for the ceremony in inclement weather. It was such a huge relief to feel like we didn't have to worry about adjusting every detail on the fly, and to go into our rainy wedding day knowing that, regardless of the weather, it would be just as beautiful and special as we always imagined. We had and continue to have SO many of our guests, both on the wedding night and afterwards, tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. So many glowing comments about the beautiful venue, the fun had on the dance floor, the amazing and kind staff, and all of the countless details that go into making the day memorable. We couldn't agree more that Melhorn Manor was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we have the incredible team to thank for all the hard work, attention to detail, and love that went into making this the wedding of our dreams. We, and our families and loved ones, will truly cherish the memory of this day for a lifetime. We are so grateful to have had the absolute joy of working with Allory, Jess, and the entire Melhorn Manor team. They were enthusiastic, thoughtful, kind, and so organized at every step of the way. We can't imagine what our special day would have looked like anywhere other than Melhorn Manor - what an amazing place that will hold a special place in our hearts forever. We simply can't thank the entire staff enough!!

I've drafted many versions of this review because it is so hard to do justice to the wedding experience we had with Historic Ashland (end of May 2024). From the minute we drove onto the property as prospective clients, to our exit at the end of our wedding night more than a year later, we had one fantastic interaction after the next with Leah, Amanda and team. I am a discerning person with extreme attention to detail, and I can honestly say that Historic Ashland is run flawlessly and with utmost respect and attention to their clients. From many months of planning to seeing it all come to life the day-of, I am still in awe of how perfect our day turned out. The property renovations were incredibly done with all modern amenities and events in mind, while maintaining the charm and historic qualities (not many 1800s barns out there that are immaculately clean with climate control!) We loved being able to have three separate feeling "events" on the property (ceremony outdoors under beautiful mature trees along a creek, cocktail hour on patio/lodge 1st floor, and dinner/dancing on lodge 2nd floor). Our guests traveled from far and wide, and everyone "got it" as soon as they arrived at Ashland - they saw what a truly unique and special place it is! Furthermore, Ashland's relationships with the vendor community gave us so many options to create a custom experience that was beyond what we could have hoped for. It is so common these days to be slightly underwhelmed by things, and I can say without a doubt Historic Ashland, their team, and all of the vendors completely exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be more appreciative, and choosing this as our venue was the absolute best decision. Our family & friends are still raving about it being the best wedding they've been to - and we agree! We are left with a lifetime of memories and will always reflect fondly on our day at Historic Ashland. THANK YOU!

We had a fantastic experience with Logan from Red Tie Entertainment! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Logan was incredibly responsive, personable, and ahead of the game throughout the planning process. . He was always quick to answer questions and offer suggestions when we were unsure about music choices. We had a lot of moving parts with 3 choreographed dances, speeches, and a performance by the groomsmen and he handled day of changes like a champ. On the big day, Logan created a fantastic atmosphere with seamless transitions and great music selections. He was so professional yet warm. The music and entertainment truly made our wedding reception such a fun, memorable night for us and all of our guests. We'd highly recommend Logan and Red Tie Entertainment to any engaged couple looking for a DJ that will be communicative, thoughtful, and help create the perfect vibe.

We couldn’t have been happier with Kathy! From our first phone call to the big day, she were professional, attentive, and incredibly creative. The bouquets were gorgeous. I originally wanted very neutral flowers, but mother nature decided otherwise. The flowers were very bright and I was hesitant at first, but I totally trusted Kathy and knew they would be perfect. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the flowers truly brought our wedding to life. Highly recommend to any couple looking for beauty and reliability!

Shay took my engagement pictures and I could not recommend her more! My Fiance and I are usually awkward and definitely camera shy but Shay made us feel so comfortable! I am absolutely in love with my photos, I show them off every chance I get. If you’re looking for a photographer I recommend Shay, you really won’t regret it.

We loved having the pirates for videography for our wedding!! Best choice that I made when looking back on my special day. We hired them during the pandemic and they were so accommodating, professional and just overall great human beings to be around! Not to mention the quality of their work is seriously AMAZING! I’ve had so many people who saw my video, reach out and ask who I hired for my wedding videographer. 10/10 recommend!
