Our wedding and our wedding reception was beyond perfect. Memorytown and Lori Porter and all their staff were incredible, from listening to understanding what we were looking for and what we wanted. I fell in love with MemoryTown as soon as we arrived the feel of the venue and the beautiful scenery and they have two different size barns on the property ours was the gorgeous Heritage next to the lake with cabins. Perfect! And Lori walked us through the whole process and explained everything to us from beginning to our big day. The venue is incredibly beautiful and the food is amazingly delicious. Our cabin was perfect. Lori was very knowledgeable and help with information with everything from Bartenders and Food Choices and appetizers to Bakery, Florist, DJ, Hairstyles to Makeup. Great service, food amazingly outstanding hospitality. They all welcomed us and treated us like family. Both of our families and all our friends said this has got to be the best Venue/Wedding they have ever been to or attended. Absolutely a perfect place to have your big day. This was my dream wedding that came true with many Thanks to Memorytown Lori Porter and all of the wonderful staff members and now our Family and friends will be back and to enjoy their own little Vacation/ get away. ❤️ Thank you❤️ Mr&Mrs Paul And Judy Holmlund 🎉

My husband and I got married at Memorytown in October and it was by the far the best decision we made for our big day. We chose Memorytown, not just because of the beautiful location, barn, and food but because of Lori. Lori made us feel so comfortable and made our day go so flawlessly. I had a 20 page document for the day of to make sure everything went as planned, but when the day came and went, I was so focused on enjoying the day that everything would have went out the window if it wasn't for Lori keeping everything on track. She was there every step of the way and always so responsive to my emails and requests. It also down poured the whole day of our wedding and it didn't ruin a single thing. The rain accommodations they have still made for the best pictures. If the location doesn't sell you for your event, the amazing staff there will definitely sway you. Thank you everyone at Memorytown for making our day so memorable!

Memory town was only the 2nd venue we looked at. We knew right away while touring with Lori, this was the one. The heritage barn was amazing. The lake side ceremony was perfect. Lori was so great to work with. And not only answered questions and helped along the way - she worked and coordinated and was by our side the whole wedding! Really amazing staff, could not thank them enough!

We attended our nephew's wedding this weekend at Memorytown and we were very impressed with the venue, the food and the attention to detail that they took to ensure all the wedding guests had a great experience. The lodging in the cabins was very comfortable and made it great to participate in all the wedding festivities. The wait staff were phenomenal. I highly recommend this venue.

I had my wedding at memorytown this past weekend. To say we had the most magical weekend would be a huge understatement. We did our rehearsal/welcome dinner, wedding day, and day after brunch all on site. The whole experience was so unique and our guests loved being able to stay in the rooms and cabins on site all weekend. Lori is AMAZING. She went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and it was. The day went smoothly, even though there was rain right before our ceremony! Lori communicated with us the whole time and her and her crew were able to get the ceremony site dried up so we were able to have our wedding outside. From start to finish, Lori was there for every single part of our weekend making sure every detail was perfect. The food was amazing all weekend. Dinners at the reception came out flawlessly. The staff were all attentive and on top of everything. All of our guests couldn’t say enough about how amazing and magical our weekend was. The Heritage barn is beautiful for a reception and the orchard barn was such a cute spot for our other events. Our photographer had so many good photo ops on the property. I seriously wouldn’t change a thing about our entire weekend. I’m still on cloud 9!! Highly recommend memorytown if you are looking for a unique and beautiful barn-style wedding!!

Honestly I cannot recommend Memorytown enough!!! We had our wedding there on 10/23/21 and Lori, the venue coordinator, is the most amazing human. She helped us with EVERYTHING from A to Z, and helped us make a ceremony location switch the day of due to the rain. She made sure everything was fabulous and I cannot thank her enough. It seriously brings a tear to my eye the amount of effort she put into ensuring that our day was perfect. The event staff was fabulous. They helped escort people around the property with umbrellas to ensure everyone stayed dry. Our food tasted absolutely amazing. We had our rehearsal dinner at the Tavern which has recently undergone renovations and now looks amazing! We could not be happier with choosing Memorytown for our wedding. Trust me, you will be in the best hands!

Memorytown is a quiet rustic but elegant reception venue. We had our reception here this past Saturday December 14, 2019 at their vintage wine cellar & Heritage Barn venue. If you want Stroudsmoore Woodgate but want personal attention Memorytown or Tavern by The Lake is your resolution. When looking for a venue as a couple make a list of your wants & do not wants. We wanted a rustic venue with great appetizers and the ability for the venue to accommodate diet or allergies restrictions. Lisa Johnson the venue Coordinator & Anthony Maula was able to accommodate us. We had gluten free, vegetarian, onion & coconut allergies restrictions for some of our wedding guest. Also Memorytown accommodated setting up our reception & allowing us toarrive a day before the reception. If your looking to have a venue that has good food such as chicken with walnut stuffing that's was warm to the touch and delicious to eat with a semi-glace sauce to compliment the taste with you palette. Additionally; Memorytown does a consultation about linens and knapins layout with table runner. While you might not think this is important color, lighting is important to get the right mood and atmosphere for your guest. We had navy blue linen table cloth with ivory napkins and burlap lace table runners. We also had vintage lanterns provided by Memortown along with wooden blocks for table numbers. The best part was when Lisa Johnson helped us to cut our cake without anybody realizing that we were nervous. Lisa has a sophistication about the approach of the wedding venue that her staff is attentive to the bride & groom but also the guest. I needed help with my garter belt & the strings broke Anthony Maula's sister came to my rescue and make sure I was ok. So when we picked our venue for our reception we wanted great food, ample parking, accomadation for guest, rehersal dinner, and a after party. Memorytown was the venue for us because the Event Coordinator Lisa Johnson was able to paint a picture and fulfill that promise. The Tavern by the Lake is quite tranquil and the kissing bridge is beautiful. If your into chickens meet a few of them on the property. If your still thirsty for a Yuengling Lager or glass of White Zinfandel wine they have a Tavern on their property great for after parties. We enjoyed our wedding and look forward to our new adventures. Thanks again Lisa Johnson Venue Coordinator & Anthony Maula Owner for an awesome adventure on our wedding day.

Amazing venue, terrible coordinator. It's unfortunate that I can't give this location a 5 star review, but the coordinator was difficult to work with, rude, and on a power trip. Price quotes seemed to vary depending on her mood. The band we booked was supposed to eat during the cocktail hour which she either forgot to organize or somehow became overlooked because they did not eat until the other meals were served during the reception effecting our overall flow for the evening.I'm also unsure why they do not allow weddings to book the entire site (all cabins and rooms), as we would have preferred the 2-3 random strangers that booked before our friends and family could to not have that option.The food was average at best. Rehearsal dinner meals were served over a 20-30 minute time period so some were done well before others were served.Despite all this, we had an amazing wedding because the . It could have been easier on us with a better coordinator.

Good venue for low maintenance couples.The venue and all the facilities at Memorytown are beautiful (despite the somewhat hokey name). With onsite cabins and accommodations, a beautiful large reception barn, bridal salon, three ceremony spaces to choose from, and a tavern/bonfire for the after party, the site made it so easy to relax the day of the wedding knowing we never had to get back in a car or limo once we arrived the night before. The venue gives great quality for the price you pay per person. The social media presence is confusing with old pictures of rodeos/pig roasts (they don't do rodeos anymore), and doesn't highlight the real beauty of the site, but its there and is worth the visit to see in person. Every time we visited we were pleasantly surprised, having forgotten how beautiful it was.The coordination leaves something to be desired. All the weddings, events, rooms, cleaning, and staff are managed by one person, who is definitely doing too much. The coordinator didn't instill us with a ton of confidence throughout our planning period and we went into the wedding weekend knowing we couldn't really count on the attention that you get at other venues (but pay for with a higher price tag). Several times during the night the staff and coordinator seemed frazzled especially during dinner, and unfortunately not just in the kitchen but in the reception space. All the guest in that area could see and hear the coordinator getting frustrated about missing meals etc. We had to take a deep breath and tell ourselves it was not our problem. They need a larger prep space to be able to handle these issues behind closed doors and not in front of guests.The venue was inflexible with certain things, like only offering 3 food tastings the entire year (all on tuesdays). We only had two tastings available before our date and live 2 hours away, so we had to take time off of work early to be able to make it. For the rehearsal dinner they want you to pick only one food option for everyone, which is not the norm for any rehearsal I've ever been to. That being said after some back and forth confusion, they did accommodate three options if you can provide counts in advance.The lack of communication wasn't huge enough to cause big problems and by and large the day went smoothly. But there were several little things throughout the planning and the day, like there was confusion where our band was apparently supposed to eat dinner during cocktail hour, but this was not communicated to anyone, so when dinner arrived the band had to take a break twice as long as planned because their food wasn't ready for them and then they were shuffled across the street to eat in another building. Overall if you're a low maintenance couple (this is key!) looking for an all weekend site to host friends and family for your wedding, this is a great choice. People loved the venue and told us how much fun they had. But that said, don't expect the attention and coordination support that you'd receive from more formal wedding venues because you'll end up very frustrated. The serving staff, bartenders, etc. were all very friendly and attentive, and always made sure my husband and I had enough food/drink/apps throughout the night.I wish there were a choice between the lukewarm 3 star \"pretty good\" and four star \"fantastic!\" Our wedding day was the best day of my life, but our experience at the venue experience was good-very good.

I booked my wedding at Memorytown more than 2 years before my wedding and the venue looked even better than what I remember! Beauty and convenience all in one! If you're looking for a wedding in the woods - check out Memorytown! Lisa was great to work with especially since most of our communication was via phone or email since I now live in Georgia. We also had our rehearsal dinner in the Tavern behind the barn as well which has been renovated beautifully and the view of the lake is gorgeous. The bridal salon was a last minute add-on but ended up being such a useful space for the day - highly recommend! The day was perfect and I now can't imagine having my wedding anywhere else! Thank you!

When we first came to the property we loved the idea of having the whole terriotory to our friends and family for the weekend of our wedding. The barn where the reception takes place is beautiful and the food at the tavern bar on site was tasty. We were theilled to find a barn venue that does catering onsite and that we could afford.The manager, Lisa, is a direct person who has the answers and is open with the information. She is great, experienced, knowledgeable and sweet. However, is pretty much alone to run all the weddings, so be a little patient with getting answers ahead of your time if you are a control freak. She will provide you with the planning information according to the monthly schedule, and will try to answer questions if they are way too early in the year.Anthony is the owner, who met with us 2-3 times. His goal is to leave you happy and accomodate your desires, and see how to make the crazy ideas possible if you have any. Our wedding was Russian-Ukrainian theme, which we didnt know how to make possible, with vodka shots and caviar being a big part of it. Anthony met with us and our moms to discuss things and compromised with us on our cultural needs and meet us half way, something not all venues would do.We only got to see the beauty of the place two months after signing the contract, when the snow melted from the lake and glass. The views are the biggest plus to the venue and the photos that we just got from our photographer are stunning. There are a lot of spot to explore for romantic, family and bridal party shoots. The tasting that we attented before the wedding was very crowded and we were a little scared that there will be not enough food at the wedding, or that the quality might be low, but the portions were just fine. I only got to eat my salmon at the end of the reception and it was very good. I cant say much about other food as I didnt get to have any and none of the guests mentioned a word about it.The one thing I was dissapointed to find out was that the wine at the bar is low quality boxed wine. The rest of the bar is standard shelf, nothing fancy. But we were able to pay extra to get higher shelf wine and whyskey bottles. We chose to do decorations, flowers and a few other perks on our own. We were able to set up the day before, as there was no event planned. That released a great deal of stress.Our ceremony went flawless, with Lisa being there for us at all times to make sure everything goes right. The reception was just perfect as well, which as a bride I was surprised about, as you should always be ready for a few things to not go according to plan. But again, everything went smoothly and beyond our expectations.After the wedding, the venue set up a bonfire for us by the lake and left it up to us to turn down when we were done continuing to celebrate at 4:30am. The venue let us pack up our decorarions the next day without any stress.We are very thankful to Lisa and Anthony for the wedding they helped organize for us.

We had our wedding at Memorytown on 9-8-18 and it was just as I had imagined. Anthony, Lisa, Jeannine and all the staff were a delight to work with and made everything from planning to execution a breeze. Weather came in to play, and the Memorytown staff handled everything with respect, and consideration and turned, what we thought was a ruined day, to something truly magical, and more than we could have ever hoped for. There will be bumps in the road. That we can guarantee, but you are in fabulous hands with Anthony and Lisa. Our guests genuinely said this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food and the wait staff were also highly praised by our guests. Also, the cabin included for the night was fantastic, clean, and welcoming. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone at Memorytown. See you next year on our anniversary!

I recently had my wedding at Memorytown in August. I waited to post my review to get my thoughts together. The venue was stunning and I absolutely loved the venue. I will say though I had a lot of unneeded stress on my wedding day. As a bride you want your day to go smooth and for everyone to have an amazing time. (We did have a great party). First the venue coordinator was not as helpful as I thought she would be. I felt like anything I wanted to happen I had to take charge of as the bride. For the ceremony at 5pm they came and got myself with my bridesmaids but no one told the guys to be at the ceremony site luckily they called us and figured how they will get over there without seeing the bride(me). Next during the cocktail hour they told us we had to clean out the bridal ready room...I was unaware of this I thought we’d have till the next morning. So half my bridal party missed a solid hour of the reception due to having to clean the ready room. At the end of the night we were promised a honeymoon suite. My matron of honor (sister in law) and my brother went to get the key from the coordinator (mind you they paid for my wedding) she wouldn’t give them the key stating their policy states it can only go to the bride and groom. They were trying to be helpful and put our items in there so we could enjoy our night. Unfortunately they could not and after the reception I had to run around to get all of my items and get the key. Not really how I planned to end my magical night. She also was so rude to my family which bothered me since they had paid 25,000$ to have my wedding here. I saw many times the coordinator got snippy with my mother and my brother. I loved the venue and it was so breath taking but I am just warning all brides be prepared to do a lot of extra work here, they are not nearly as helpful as they make it seem in the beginning. There are several other things that made me upset but these were the main items. I would suggest hiring a wedding planner.

BEAUTIFUL venue, but very disappointed with the wedding coordinator and lack of organization. Don’t be confused, the “wedding coordinator” would be more appropriately titled simply “venue staff”. We found the day disorganized and lacking basic guidance on venue related information. The attitude of the coordinator towards the bride and groom as well as immediate family showed an extreme lack of respect. Would love to recommend this venue to others, but would be hesitant with the current staff.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with my wedding at Memorytown. The lake is a centerpiece of the property, but it is full of beautiful spaces for photographs and for guests to explore. We loved both the Orchard barn located next to a small apple orchard and the Heritage Barn which was larger and we ultimately chose for our venue. The downstairs wine cellar was a beautiful space for the cocktail hour and guests were free to wonder outside and view the lake and property. The head wedding coordinator at Memorytown, Lisa, was extremely accommodating in dealing with the last minute change of ceremony location. Lisa, the head wedding coordinator, was our coordinator from day one of planning and had been extremely helpful. We were very happy with her. We also live outside the area, so we loved the little cottages on property that our guests were able to stay in, and we also stayed on site and used the included \"get ready room\" for the bride and bridal party and moms which was really nice. The staff (bartenders, waitresses, bus boys) were extremely nice and helpful. The night ends with a bonfire on site, which our guests loved! We also hosted a farewell breakfast at the cafe which is part of the venue, and it was beautiful and had a wonderful selection. There is also a grill restaurant on the lake that is a great place if anyone needs a meal between events or stopping in for a drink. We cant say enough good things about our experience! We loved it! Have your wedding here!!!

My husband and I had decided to get married in a barn and we didn’t want to settle for anything that wasn’t authentic. We also wanted a venue where people could stay onsite, and Memorytown fit that criteria to a T. The venue setting is gorgeous; there are so many places to choose from to get married on the property itself. Their onsite accommodations are perfect; rustic yet classy, and they are continuously expanding and upgrading them. Not only do you get married and gain a family but the people at Memorytown become part of your family as well! Lisa is a true miracle worker. She’s a Jill-of-all-trades and never stops until your satisfied. She answered questions lightning fast and made time for me to come there day or night. I walked in with a laundry list of questions/requests a month before the wedding and she was so accommodating! Our actual wedding day she was everywhere, keeping people on schedule and making sure things went incredibly smooth. The entire staff was wonderful, the food stellar (my guests are still talking about the Brisket) and the ambiance of the property made it a perfect day all the way around. A few things to know about the venue and services: I didn’t mind because I’m a Project Manager and wanted control over most of the details. Decorations – if you want other decorations then what they have/provide you’ll need to bring them and set them up yourself and take them down the next day. We loved that so we could start with the basic Orchard Barn and make it our own. Bridal Suite –There isn’t a traditional bridal suite - you can pick a room/cottage to get ready in and pay for it in addition. You can get a “snacks” plate brought it, but it wasn’t worth the $, so we brought our own food and drinks.Tavern – it’s not open all days/nights in the winter (Fri/Sat night really). Which means you’ll need to find other means for food, there are plenty of places around. Overall we had an amazing experience at Memorytown and would recommend it to anyone who wants that truly rustic wedding venue.

I never did end up having my wedding here, but I did go through the reservation, payment and planning experience. My review is based solely on my taste and expectations of a wedding venue. If you are looking for something DIY, rustic then this is your place. My fiancé and I booked Memorytown for our wedding which was going to take place this Sept. The venue truly is beautiful but I think the originality of the locations kind of blinds you and you don't realize what what you aren't getting for the price you are paying. The following are the reasons we decided to cancel our reservation at Memorytown even with our loss of 6,000 that is non refundable since they ask you to make monthly payments. 1. There is no bridal party service for you should you be getting photos during cocktail hour. They will provide the bride and groom a \"plate of food\" but your bridal party gets nothing. 2. All children regardless of age are charged full price. We had 20 children under the age of 21 and as long as a place is set for them, they pay full price, 162 per child for my wedding. They don't give you an itemized bill either to see how much your food vs bar will be. 3. When we originally visited, I asked if the dance floor could be up towards the front of the barn because I thought it was awkward being on the side. I was told yes. Upon my second my second visit, I was told no. This would have been an original deal breaker for me had I been told no originally. 4. You set up. You take down. All they do is set up your table and chairs. You have 5 hours prior to your wedding and one hour after. 6. No signature drink options. I'm paying 162 a person. You should give me whatever I want. One bar in each place Not handicapped accessible with the exception of having to drive people from the bottom of the barn to the top. Memorytown did answer all our questions and was timely with responses. We were not refunded any of the 6000 we paid per the contract but we were lucky enough to find another venue (a country club none the less) for 8k cheaper who offers all the missing things Memorytown doesn't supply. Everything seemed very complicated for the bride and I started to become overwhelmed with all I would have to do. If you want complete and total control over your wedding then have at it. I found out through my experience I wanted a little more professional venue with more experience and better amenities.

SIMPLY..... Incredible! My daughter had her wedding there this past August. As soon as we first visited there was absolutely no question!! The grounds at Memorytown are beautiful and a true example of the beauty that is held in the Pocono Mountains. Breathtaking scenery, the landscaping so colorful and evident of 'fine-tooth' care; the barns - as there are two - beautifully structured inside and out. My daughter chose the larger barn - and its rustic elegance which was what she was aiming for. ~~ Planning was like planning with family ~ with Lisa, the Event Planner; and Anthony, the owner. They were there every step of the way . What is more and most important is they were 'true to their word'. We talked about things, explained what we wanted - and they made it happen. We started planning a year prior and were always given time and consideration at meetings, tastings, etc. Again, their main goal was to please us in every way they could. The venue grounds in their entirety were a combination of fun - elegance- and 'home'. ~~~ The food was the best! Cocktail hour - held downstairs in the big barn where there is a rustic feeling with wine barrels and warmth. You walk up two steps and there is a fireplace, piano and more seating for guests. As my husband and I entered the area - we were immediately approached by some guests on how tasty everything was - and how many different kinds of food there was. ~~ Dinner --- upstairs in the barn - I cannot even begin to describe the portions, the taste incredible --- and the service making sure everyone was served together. ....The servers - as well as all the employees of Memorytown - were so professional and so kind and accommodating to all of our guests. We had many professional people at our wedding - and take special notice of these very important points - and made sure to tell me. ~~ The food portions were abundant - and all that we were told would be and then some. ~~ The barn was kept at a perfect cool temperature which made it very comfortable. ~~ My daughter was married near the Newlywed Bridge - on the side of the larger barn. Surrounded by tall trees - background of the pond - and the wedding aisle being a walk down a pebble roadway. It was beautiful and wish we could go back and do it again.... it was so very special and we will always be thankful for the friendship we have developed with Anthony and Lisa ---- and for the incredible love-filled memories that they gifted us with ---- at this incredible place. Thank you! You must see Memorytown in person to feel what we felt .

My daughter and son in law recently got married here in Memorytown. When my daughter first told me about this place it sounded like she was getting everything she and her husband wanted. You would have never noticed that they originally planned to have everything outside. Due to weather both the ceremony and cocktail hour had to be moved indoors and it was absolutely beautiful. All of our family and friends were impressed with the venue, the food, and everything down the tiniest detail. They spoke very highly of how everything came together. Being the mother of the bride all you hope is that your daughter gets everything she wants on her big day and Memorytown gave her and her husband exactly that. A BIG thank you to Anthony & Lisa for being there every step of the way... from the beginning... to dealing with my daughter visiting every other weekend... to the very end letting everyone continue their evening in the onsite tavern. It was an amazing day.

My husband and I fell in love with Memorytown on our first visit and booked the venue instantly. The entire atmosphere up there is just so positive, fun and romantic. Lisa & Anthony truly do everything to ensure you get exactly what you want for your special day. Unfortunately, our wedding was supposed to be outside by the apple orchard. Due to weather conditions everything was moved inside... including our cocktail hour. This did not affect our day by any means, in fact we received so many compliments on how beautifully everything was done. I'm a control freak, I like to know the specifics of everything. However, on the most important day of our lives I was able to let it all go and truly enjoy myself. Everything went so smoothly I could not believe it ended so quickly. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful scenery, owners and managers who truly care about what you want and need for your special day, great food, cabins/rooms on site for guests and an all around great time. Thank you for giving us something truly wonderful to look back on for our wedding day.

We weren't sure what to think when we first rolled into memory town but after a tour of the property we were set on having our wedding there. The idea that there were ro's and cabins on site was awesome for close family and those who flew in and didn't have a car with them. The rain didn't stop us from having a beautiful day and we moved everything inside. Food was great, scenery was beautiful and Lisa and Anthony were amazing. They were quick to respond and we're at the wedding every step of the way. Even though we couldn't have the bonfire afterparty because of rain, we're were able to move in to the on sitelevision tavern for more drinks and some amazing food. The burgers and fried were delicious! Not overly priced either. Overall I would say not a thing went wrong on memorytown's side and all the guest's were amazed and pleased with the level of detail in the property. Awesome!

When my then fiance and I pulled up to Memorytown, I lnew immediately that it was the place we were going to get married. It's a beautiful property with an amazing lake at the center. We had our ceremony in the apple orchard and our reception at the main barn. Talana, the event coordinator, was enthusiastic and helpful with every aspect of our wedding. Anthony, the owner, and Lisa were involved in every single step. We didn't have a single problem with communication - either Anthony, Lisa, or Talana were available to discuss every single issue that came up in the planning of our big day. The day of, Anthony, Lisa, and Talana were all there, and Talana especially fulfilled everyone of my needs. My guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful the setting was, how great the food was, and how amazing the cupcakes (made by Talana) were. It was a bonus that there were small cabins and motel rooms for our family and bridal party to stay in. Our most important guests were able to stay on site, while we got a shuttle to a nearby hotel for the rest of our friends. The after party was just as memorable as the wedding, with both a bon fire and the tavern for people to hang out. I can't say enough good things about Memorytown. It was the perfect wedding for me and my husband, and I've had a million comments from guests agreeing with me. I wish we could do it all over again!

My husband and I got married on a Sunday in August (2015) at Memory Town. We had the ceremony in the smaller barn and the reception in the larger barn. The owner Anthony couldn't have been more helpful throughout the entire process. He always had the bride/groom/families/guest's best interest at heart and went above and beyond to make our day the best it could have been, and it was AMAZING. I am extremely pleased with our wedding and would definitely recommend this place if you want rustic elegance like we did or a more backyard country feel!
