When I was looking for a woodsy venue to get married at on the east coast, I stumbled upon Woodsgate at Stroudsmoor and it immediately stood out to me! We could get married surrounded by trees, with the ease of an all inclusive reception a short walk away. When we visited and saw the woodland chapel, even in the middle of winter, my breath was taken away and I wanted to cry because of how perfect and beautiful it is. It’s very secluded and has a lit-up walk to the ceremony site up an adorable path, and the reception hall has a cozy homey feel, while being straight out of a fantasy novel. We didn’t need much floral decor because of how beautiful everything is already, but the floral we did get was the perfect finishing touch, and I’m still obsessing over my bouquet. Aside from the gorgeous fairytale setting, the service was phenomenal and both our planner, Malia, and the staff were there to see to all our needs and make the day as stress-free and easygoing as possible. Malia was always quick to answer any questions, and was very willing to bring our unconventional ideas like Rock Band karaoke at the reception to life. Sometimes with all-inclusive venues you’re limited with customizing the wedding but that was not at all the case with Stroudsmoor. Everyone was so kind, professional, and our guests raved about the incredible food and service. I couldn’t imagine getting married at a more perfect place, and highly recommend this to anyone looking to have their own whimsical woodland wedding!!

Everything about our wedding at the Pump House was absolutely perfect. We found the Pump House after our original venue was affected by the the hurricane in Asheville, NC. We were rushing to find something that was available on our date, and hit on our non-negotiables: we wanted something where we could spend the day out in nature, have friends and family stay on the property with us, and have a relaxing day all in one location, with a beautiful ceremony site and reception room. As soon as we toured the venue, we knew we didn’t have to look anywhere else. One of the biggest things that sold us on the Pump House was how much the owners, Doug and Lisa, care about their land, the venue, and the weddings that were hosted there. Every space is decorated with Doug’s artwork, from paintings to the tiles in all the bathrooms, which is such a charming touch. They can tell you all about the history of the property and the different types of trees you’ll see as you explore the hiking trails. They’ll even tell you stories of past weddings and couples who have been through their doors as well. Throughout our tour and the whole planning process, we never felt like we were just another wedding or that they were just checking the boxes. On our wedding day, we woke up in our gorgeous accommodations to the relaxing sounds of birds and the river. We got to sit and have an incredible breakfast with our friends and family before getting ready (the breakfast. Omg. I’d book this venue for the breakfast itself). A group went for a hike and a dip in the river that morning too. I felt like we were surrounded by the most positive, magical energy all day as we took our photos in the forrest. We ended up moving our ceremony into the Brick Barn due to rain (fortunately that’s the only time throughout the day it rained, so our guests got to hang outside during the reception), but we ended up having the most intimate, beautiful ceremony in there, that we couldn’t even imagine doing differently now. Plus, the cats and chickens on the property were a big hit with us and the guests :) We’ve had so many people rave to us about how unique and beautiful the venue was. I’m so glad that we found the Pump House, and I’m sure we’ll be planning trips back in the future for anniversaries.

My husband and I were thrilled with Wind In The Willows as our wedding venue. Their communication was consistently speedy, nice, and understanding throughout the planning process, which we really appreciated during this hectic time. The venue itself was beautiful, fun, affordable, and spacious - we were able to decorate the indoor and outdoor spaces with our own touches thanks to their generosity in letting us use their shed for decor storage. Our guests raved about the beautiful scenery and many photo ops around the property. We also appreciated the value, as they worked with our budget to create a magical day we'll never forget.

Stokesay Castle is truly a dream venue, not just because of its breathtaking scenery, but because of its incredible staff. When we first toured the venue the manager, Luis, welcomed us like family. He took the time to explain all the packages available and even adjusted his recommendations to match our guest count, and never pushed us toward anything we didn’t need. He also shared helpful budget-friendly tips to make our day even more special and affordable. When we returned a second time for a renovation event, Luis remembered us instantly, greeting us with a big hug and even gave a personal tour, which expressed how much the staff genuinely care about their guests. Later, we had the pleasure of working with the new director, Dara, who went above and beyond to guide us through every step of the wedding-planning process. Whether it was through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings, she made sure we had everything we needed. She was very polite and informative and always had a smile on her face. On our wedding day, she checked in with us multiple times throughout the day to ensure every detail went smooth and perfect. When talking about the food, all I have to say is it was absolutely phenomenal. Stokesay Castle’s menu offered a variety of delicious options, and while we had to narrow down our wedding-day menu, we also got to sample the rest at our rehearsal dinner the night before. Everything we tried was outstanding. The castle building itself is the perfect blend of modern elegance as well as old-time medieval appeal. It has stunning scenery, a beautiful outdoor ceremony area, snd spacious getting-ready rooms for both bride and groom. The gorgeous grand ballroom comfortably accommodated our 112 guests with room to spare, and it was everything we envisioned. Each time I visited Stokesay Castle I fell in love with it all over again, and that’s when I knew it was the place for us.

We had our wedding here and I’m not sure if I can put into words how beautiful this venue is! I fell in love with pictures before even seeing it. The ceremony garden is very unique and the cocktail hour space by the pool is absolutely stunning. Everything about this place, including the reception tent and its artificial turf, is perfect. There was plenty of space in the house for the bridal party to get their hair and makeup done and I liked that the guys had a separate building so they didn’t see us getting ready. Our coordinator, Caitlyn, was great to work with and was a tremendous help, especially on the wedding day. She did almost everything so we could enjoy the day! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else! We worked with Cypress Floral for our flowers. I don’t know a lot about flowers and color choices so I was appreciative of her help and recommendations. She gave several options to choose from and made adjustments multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. When I walked into the reception tent it brought me to tears seeing how beautiful everything was! Our bouquets, the hanging greenery, and floral arrangements for all the tables were stunning! I wish I could have taken every single arrangement home and I will never be able to thank Chelsea enough for how beautiful and perfect everything turned out! We also worked with Cypress Design to create most of our wedding signs and couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! Alexa gave recommendations on colors and designs, which was really helpful, and all of our signs and décor were high quality and far exceeded our expectations! Not having to create my own signs and using her rentals took a lot of work and stress off of me during the planning process. I cannot thank the Cypress team enough for how perfect our wedding day was!!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Jacks on the Green in a private room, the food was great and the service was on point. We had our Wedding ceremony inside and it turned out perfect. The dance floor is very big and our guests loved the outside patios. There’s so many great areas here for pictures. Dan, Kayla, and Brianna were great to work with.

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!

First, I want to start off by saying I wrote this entire review and then accidentally deleted it - but I am re-writing the review because I loved the Booking House that much!!!!! My wife and I got married here almost three months ago and we had the most amazing experience. It was the very first wedding venue we toured and we were instantly in love: from the beautiful chandeliers, the large getting ready rooms for both wedding parties, the exposed brick, having the entire venue to yourself, etc - it was stunning and we knew we wanted to get married here! Our main point of contact was Brittany, who was amazing to work with. She was so responsive, had great ideas, and made the whole process so enjoyable and easy. She also provided a list of "suggested vendors" (we booked the majority of their suggested vendors with the exception of hair/makeup, florals, and photography), and their recommendations were 10/10. We also hired the Booking House's bartending team and Day of Coordinating team, which we definitely recommend. Our Day of Coordinator, Aalea, was the absolute best!!! She made sure our drinks were always full, she always had a smile on her face, she hustled around to make sure everything was perfect, packed up everything for us, etc - we literally did not worry about ONE SINGLE THING on our wedding day because we knew we had the best team on our side. Lastly, we had a longer engagement and we were booked at the Booking House for almost 2 years before our wedding. Throughout those 2 years, we went to their Open House and a “signature cocktail” event, which was SO helpful! Not sure if other venues have a “Signature cocktail” event also, but it helped make our day so special as we had unique cocktails on our bar menu. If you're thinking about having your wedding/special event here, pay your deposit and get to planning!!! You won't regret it.

The Historic Peter Allen House is an absolute gem for a wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt, friendly, and extremely helpful. The quality of their work and the overall value is simply gorgeous - the historic charm and lush garden setting created the perfect backdrop for your special day.

Bell Gate Farm 
Coopersburg, PA
  • Up to 185 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $40,000

Bell Gate Farm is the perfect backdrop for any kind of event. I have one rule, however, there will never be more than one event per day. I firmly believe that you cannot concentrate and give supreme customer service when there are multiple activities going on the same day. When you rent Bell Gate, you are getting every nook and cranny, and that allows us to play a little bit. We can have a cocktail hour at the pool, but move dinner to the barn, and it feels like you’ve changed venue’s completely. It’s one of our greatest assets to be able to give our clients a robust and fulfilling event experience.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Sophisticated wine experience
  • Allows pets
  • Has onsite accommodations
