    As a wedding planner servicing Central PA and surrounding states, I've seen and worked at many venues over the years - and with many venue teams! While there's no shortage of wonderful spaces to book in our area, Elizabeth Furnace is one of the few where you are guaranteed to have the guidance and support of a full service team, along with gorgeous spaces across the property so that you can make your day your own. The couples, their families, and their entire guest counts are consistently wowed by the venue, and I'm always excited to work at this location, with this team. If you're considering... do it! You won't regret it.

    Choosing Elizabeth Furnace as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made! Our entire experience, from the initial planning to the big day itself, exceeded all our expectations, resulting in an experience that was nothing short of perfection. The property itself is a true gem – meticulously manicured and unlike anything else in the area. Its unique blend of elegant, gardenesque charm and contemporary touches left us in awe. From the beautifully appointed bridal suite and cozy groom's suite to the enchanting gardens and the classy reception space, this venue was a dream come true. The venue also offered a multitude of unique photo opportunities around every corner, ensuring that our wedding album is filled with stunning memories against a backdrop of natural beauty and architectural elegance. One of the things we loved most was the seamless and all-inclusive experience provided by JDK for catering. Working with Alyssa, both for the venue and catering, was an absolute pleasure. Her unwavering attention to detail, warm and approachable demeanor, and genuine excitement to be part of our wedding day made all the difference. Elizabeth Furnace made our wedding day truly unforgettable. It's a place where timeless beauty meets modern elegance, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you're looking for a venue that will surpass your wildest dreams, this is it. Thank you, Elizabeth Furnace, for helping us create a day we will cherish forever!
