“The Harper is nestled in a gorgeous plot of land with a bubbling stream and a beautiful pond. If that doesn’t sound perfect enough, the owner, Natasha Learn has made the interior the perfect event venue. The aesthetic alone is very stunning, while still being simple yet elegant enough to match basically any aesthetic you could ask for. What made my event magical was planning my wedding with Natasha and getting her full-service day-of coordination. She is spectacular. My mother and I normally bicker about everything, yet by working with Natasha, she saw both my mother’s vision and my own come into beautiful fruition. We have no connection to Meadville whatsoever and for most of us, it took at least 2 hours to get to Meadville. I would make people drive 10 hours to go to Meadville for the sake of having a wedding at the Harper. The Harper is a stunning venue, that was accessible to any person- elderly, handicapped, coming with many children, disorganized bride, and even a very grumpy grandma. As a side note, any mothers, fathers, grooms, brides, etc. Save the relationships, and sign up for full-service planning. It is the most valuable thing about Natasha/ The Harper!”

“If you are stuck between wanting a classic, old fashioned and a modern, sleek wedding, you can have BOTH at Sun Valley! The completely renovated inside mixed with the charming covered patio and pond outside creates the perfect blend; let's not forget that it sits on 25 acres of land in a very secluded area. This truly is a hidden gem! I never knew SV existed until my fiancé (now husband) and I decided to change our wedding venue TWO months before the big day (Covid-19 played a major role in that). I can honestly say that changing our venue was the best decision we made! Not only did Jennifer accommodate our wedding date but she worked with us up until the very day to make sure everything was just how we had envisioned it to be (we were also very fortunate to be the FIRST wedding under the ownership of Jennifer, Melissa and Scott)! When I walked into SV on my wedding day, I was blown away at how spot on every little detail was. Everything from the entrance table to the layout of the guest tables to the décor was exactly how I wanted it. I love that SV gave me access to their online seating chart so I could do my own layout and make changes up until a couple days before the wedding. Jennifer had very minimal questions for me the week of which is crucial because, as a bride, the week of the wedding is very overwhelming; the last thing you need to worry about is your setup at the venue. SV also provides a spacious bridal suite with a code generated lock where you and your bridal party can store all of your belongings throughout the night. Let's also not forget about the mirrors in the suite that light up at the touch of your finger; I wish I'd spent more time in there but, as everyone always says, the night flies by - and they are right! Another benefit of having your wedding at SV is that the grounds and pond make for beautiful photos! Some of my best photos were captured right next to the pond under a beautiful tree. While having photos taken, it was so refreshing to look over and see our guests fully enjoying cocktail hour that was setup outside with an open bar and delicious appetizers provided by Flour. If you are able to, splurge and rent some colorful linen from Event Source and hire an acoustic musician to play during cocktail hour. It really makes for a magical evening for your friends and family. I cannot tell you how many people commented on how SV was the most beautiful venue they'd ever been to. I couldn't agree more and I can't believe I almost didn't get married there! I really could not have pictured having my wedding anywhere else. If you are stuck between a few venues, do yourself a favor and just go with Sun Valley! Between Jennifer (wedding planner), Melissa (photographer) & Scott (DJ), you are working with three seasoned industry professionals who know how to put on a party! You will not regret your decision!”

“We had our wedding at the BackAlley October 2023. If you are looking for a unique, stylish venue to host a fun filled event, The BackAlley is it! Everyone had a blast, the food was amazing and Hanna, the coordinator is fabulous! I highly recommend!”

“My husband and I were married at Laplace in September 2020. It was perfect! They have bridal suites for getting ready and a few different options for ceremony and receptions depending on your style. I loved how easy everything was. We didn't have to worry about anything at all. The set up was done for us. The clean up was done for us. We were able to pick and choose colors, decor, lighting, etc. The food was amazing! It was hot and fresh which is different than other weddings I've attended. For a stress free wedding or any event, this is definitely the place to go!”
