Where to even begin. WITWs made our dream wedding a reality. The venue space is beautiful and just gets better as the sun goes down. During the wedding planning process we had a specific vision in mind of how we wanted our big day to look like and WITWs checked every box. Aaron & Andrea were a blessing to work with. Always there to answer questions leading up to the big day. Lisa the host coordinator was great as well. She assisted us with pulling decorations from the decoration shed and making sure all the chairs, tables & arbor were decorated just the way we envisioned. She even chased away some bees (lol) WITWs is always improving the grounds. Since we booked two years ago they have built a speakeasy for the guys to get ready in and upgraded the landscaping with accent lighting and a fountain. They also have extras you can add on to your day. We opted to rent the old truck for our bridal party. You can also rent the chapel. They also have multiple ceremony spaces on the grounds. We were married by the water feature down by the pond. If you are looking for a venue with upscale rustic beauty look no further. WITWs is your venue!!!!

Harmony Hall Estate

Middletown, PA
  • Up to 285 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

ALL INCLUSIVE WEDDING VENUE! Confused by all the choices? Not sure where to start? Harmony Hall Estate offers Endless Possibilities for YOUR Dream Wedding Day! 10 Outdoor Ceremony Sites & Indoor Ceremony Site Private Use of Farm House with Bridal Suite with Salon & Grooms Area Onsite Catering OR Use Any Caterer Wedding Planning Assistance Included Day of Wedding Coordinator Included Interest Free Monthly Payment Plans Free honeymoon studio room at Confresi Palm Beach & Spa Resort Now Offering Honeymoon Packages and Destination Wedding Planning!

My husband and I decided to get married last-minute due to my mom's late cancer diagnosis and terminal prognosis. With only two months, our options for venues were very limited. Harmony Hall Estate quickly became the obvious choice! PROS: Their pricing package is flexible, with lots of options to tailor your experience to your budget. With great options for in-house catering and decorating, you'll save a lot of money and time on both. You can also pay an additional fee to bring in outside caterers. The food at our wedding came from Karen's Catering, their in-house caterer. We enjoyed our dishes at dinner and during cocktail hour. The pretzel cart absolutely hit the spot, though, and was a hit with our guests. Overall, I'd say the food was satisfying. The bar options, like the food packages, are quite flexible. We chose to prepay our bar tab for our guests, which allowed us to be open bar up to a certain price. We were able to add more to that tab via cash during the wedding. The venue itself is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor location choices for your ceremony. The location is convenient, with hotels nearby and shuttles that run you and your guests to and from the venue. The farmhouse to get ready in is gorgeous and historic, making it a wonderful location for pictures. There are plenty of places on the property for taking beautiful portraits with your partner and family. The ballroom is spacious, with flexible floor plans that Jill will work with you to design. You'll receive access to Aisle Planner when you book with Harmony Hall Estate, which is a nice online service to upload all of your wedding information. Included is a service to make your reception floor plan. CONS: I was told the key to the farmhouse would be placed in the lockbox, but couldn't find it morning of. None of the contacts at Harmony Hall answered when I called, and it took us nearly 45 minutes of searching to finally find the key in a mailbox. We lost a lot of valuable time to get ready, which created stress, and on top of that the farmhouse was so hot that my bridesmaids and I were sweating bullets while trying to do our hair and makeup. The temperature inside the building was in the mid and upper seventies, which was brutal with so many people and hot hair tools on. Additionally, while they have plenty of pricing options, I will say that their information package is somewhat confusing and rather lengthy. It could be tweaked to be more streamlined for the sake of clarity. The crab dip that we paid extra for during cocktail hour was disappointing. I don't recommend paying the upcharge for it, sadly. It's also good to keep in mind that you will pay the same price for a vendor's plate as you will one of your guests. This wasn't communicated to me until I asked, so I do recommend that the staff at Harmony Hall make sure their clients are aware of this. Our bartender, though kind, was unfamiliar with many of today's popular drinks and was rather slow, which was disappointing. OVERALL: Harmony Hall Estate is a great venue for a budget-friendly, beautiful wedding! I'd like to add as a disclaimer that our timeline for wedding planning was especially short, so some of the shortcomings when it comes to clarity/explanations of things may very well just be due to our rushed timeline. Since we are based in Kentucky, it made it harder to communicate effectively with Jill and the team at Harmony Hall.

The Barn 

5.0

Brogue, PA
  • Up to 80 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,400

Artemis Venues provides three beautiful spaces located in South Central Pennsylvania. The Barn is our secluded outdoor venue located on 17 acres of pristine land overlooking The Susquehanna River! Terrapin Station (our newest venue) is recently remodeled from an old tobacco factory build in 1910. It has a rustic, industrial feel and is the perfect place to dance under the twinkling lights. Artemis features a historical ballroom with stadium seating and one of a kind light fixtures. We also have a new outdoor space called The Courtyard coming to Artemis and Terrapin Station this year, giving your rental indoor/outdoor capabilities. There is something for everyone at Artemis Venues! Our goal is to create an experience for you that is unique as your love.

I love The Barn at Blackstone National! Their outdoor pavillion is a gorgeous setting for wedding ceremonies & cocktail hours, rain or shine! This pavillion overlooks beautiful greenery, and in the autumn months the foliage creates a gorgeous backdrop. The outdoor fire pits make it even cozier at night time. Their indoor reception area is a beautifully built barn with delicious food & a spacious dance floor. Their event coordinator & wait staff are always a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this venue!

Drumore Mill 

5.0

Drumore, PA
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $4,700

Drumore Mill is a different world. It is nestled in a corner of the most rustic township in Amish Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1752 as a sawmill and a grist mill. It sits in a hollow with 30 acres of tall cliffs and old trees to provide privacy, warmth, and natural beauties. There is a pristine creek that meanders through the property. The Fishing Creek supports native trout and other rare small fishes. The waterfall is adjacent to the buildings. There is a hiking trail within the property. There is wetland and much more. The combination of rustic setting, natural beauties, and historical features makes Drumore Mill amazingly beautiful. One has to see it to believe it.

Drumore Mill was an absolutely stunning venue to use for our special day (really weekend). We loved the ease of booking the venue, touring with Thuy, and the promptness and flexibility they offer. An added bonus is the available on site lodging for rental, which we made great use of for our close friends, family, and wedding party to stay in the night before and night of the wedding. We enjoyed the Great Room in the Grist Mill for our rehearsal dinner. Our guests loved how spacious Drumore Mill was, and we appreciated all the attention to detail such as included (but still optional) decor and greenery, and the setup of chairs and other items for the ceremony space. Being able to bring in all of our own vendors at no additional cost was fantastic. The value for renting the property from Thursday to Saturday morning was unmatched and completely worth it. We would recommend Drumore Mill to anyone, and we look forward to booking the property in the future for non-wedding related stays with friends and family.

Pottstown, PA

"Where the sky meets water." A country estate of the first order, Welkinweir is nestled into a hillside of 197 acres in the heart of Chester County. The property takes its name from the Old English translation of "where the sky meets the water." To this end, five ponds and a meandering brook are just the beginning of a true visual feast. Remnants of a 200-year-old stone barn, a springhouse, protected forests, abundant wildlife and a 55-acre arboretum paint a scene of incredible beauty and tranquility. Formal gardens and terraces surround the venerable estate house, its earliest roots traced back to the 1740s. Listed on the National Historic Register, the residence lends a time-honored backdrop for indoor/outdoor events. Welkinweir is the home of Green Valley Watershed Association, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to protect and preserve the water resources of Northern Chester County through advocacy and education. Only accepting 6 more weddings in 2025!

Welkinweir Estate is the perfect venue for a wedding. From the beginning, Shelly and her team were easy to communicate with, responsive, and incredibly helpful. They answered all of our questions, no matter how small, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The space itself is gorgeous, giving us the elegant garden and estate wedding vibe we were going for. The grounds are beautifully maintained and provides a stunning backdrop for ceremony and photos. What really sold us is their sustainability and conservation initiatives. We are so grateful to Shelly and the Welkinweir team for helping us work towards making our special day truly unforgettable.
