My husband and I were married here on June 17th. If you are considering booking Stoltzfus for your wedding, you will 100% not regret it. When I tell you everything was absolutely perfect, I mean it. From the day we booked our wedding date, Brian and Dawn (the owners) were so helpful, kind, and welcoming. Guests have been raving about how amazing everything was. The property is beautiful. There are so many little spaces for guests to mingle, play games, and enjoy their time during the reception. If you do choose to go with Stoltzfus, you will enjoy every minute of your wedding day and have absolutely no worries at all.

I really can not say enough about this venue, the thoughtful & amazing owners & the homestead staff. The entire experience was nothing short of what every bride should experience while planning their wedding. All my endless questions/ emails/concerns addressed immediately, the many helpful & extremely informative tips&emails from the owners throughout the planning, and the amazing wedding coordinator they pair you with. Every person who works at this venue goes above & beyond, but especially the owners & coordinator. There was a mix up with our cake vendor, and we were left with NO CAKE on our wedding day. Before I was even informed of this hiccup, the owner Brian went out to the grocery store and bought a little birthday cake for us. Our coordinator took off all of the confetti and made it a beautiful white \"sweetheart\" cake to make sure we at least had something to cut. That is the definition of going above & beyond for one of their couples & shows truly how genuine they are. This is such a beautiful venue with many new additions being added throughout the years! The bridal suite is also an absolute dream. I had the best time getting ready with my girls in it. My husband and I are so grateful we had our wedding here & even more grateful for the relationships we've gained because of it! Brian, Dawn, Chela especially, we love you guys so much & will always remember your kindness ♡ Reviewed on 22-10-2023

My husband and I had our wedding at Stoltzfus about 2 weeks ago and it was truly the best day of my life. I will recommend Stoltzfus Homestead again and again to anyone getting married. Every guest that I talked to said that this was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to. The cigar and whiskey bar was a huge hit along with the icicle bicycle, fire pit, and everything else that this venue provided. The venue makes everything so easy from having preferred vendors to choose from to an entire array of items to pick from in their prop shop. The prop shop included so many unique items and it saved on the hassle of the wedding party worrying about transporting decorations because Stoltzfus provided set up and tear down of any items rented through them. Dawn, Brian, and their team were so attentive and detail oriented. Dawn and Brian were also present through the entire day so if I ever needed anything, they were there to help.

Simply incredible experience. Dawn, Brian, and Ginger made us feel like we were a part of their family from the get go. Everything flowed so amazing on the wedding day and the prep beforehand was thorough and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. The property is beautiful and the amount of time they spend on the landscaping and getting the venue ready for the day was more than we could have expected. So many of our guests asked, \" where did you guys find this place?! It is beautiful!!\" The amount of space and different areas around the property give you so much flexibility for pictures, ceremony, and simply for guests to enjoy throughout your wedding celebrations. We really couldn't have imagined our day to turn out any better and so much credit is due to the Stoltzfus team and Ginger for everything that goes into it behind the scenes and for the way they treated us the entire time. Highly recommend!!! Reviewed on 06-08-2023

We had our wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead in April of this year. We had found and toured a few other venues in the area and this was our first venue tour during the process. I think we knew this would be the one but we continued to look at other options. Brian had given us a tour and there was something calm and reassuring about his demeanor which made two very anxious people, comfortable. After touring three other venues, it was obvious that Stoltzfus was unlike any other. Not only is the venue affordable, but we loved the beautiful indoor options. After making our decision, then came the planning process. As the first child in my family getting married, I did not know what to expect. Dawn and Brian helped to solidify and bring all areas of our day together. We wanted a venue that is organized, enjoys the vendors that it works with, and helps to relieve major stress surrounding the big day. Stoltzfus did all that. Their prop shop had all the decorations that we needed and for a good price. They have certain vendors that they suggest you choose from and I was SO thankful for that. The process with florals, the DJ, food, photography, and our wedding coordinator (love Chela) came together flawlessly. Then came our wedding day. Torrential downpour with wind all day. Stoltzfus Homestead went above and beyond for us with umbrellas, towels, lots of planning ahead with canopies/coverings, etc etc. I never thought I would say that a wedding day full of rain would be a good day, but I was wrong. It was a PERFECT day. I will forever be grateful to how hard the staff at Stoltzfus Homestead worked to keep the day amazing, focused on us, and positive for all involved. Brian and Dawn even offered us to come back for a campfire and drinks since we had day full of bad weather. The kindest people. Stoltzfus Homestead thank you so much for everything, we are eternally grateful! Reviewed on 20-07-2023

When searching for our wedding venue- we reviewed and saw many sites -we wanted a venue that felt like lancaster but was also modern- Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was that and SO much more. In the end we felt like we were part of the family. There is history on site with the tobacco barn and grand barn while also being updated and always adding something special like the secret garden where we had our first look. Dawn, one of the co owners- is personable and detailed, your wedding will go off without a hitch. When booking you have to choose one of their DJs and Caterers from their preferred vendor list-this is so helpful because it narrows down from the abundance of vendors out there while also allowing you the freedom to choose what you want to spend. closer to the wedding we worked more with Brian and Matt-they are some of the hardest workers I know-ensuring your day goes as you wish and keeping the property trim and clean. I could say so much about this venue, it truly was the perfect day and one we will reflect on for the rest of our lives. We wish we could relive our day-but writing these reviews and trips back to the site will have to do! -Allie, Logan and Parker Reviewed on 26-06-2023

Chela who was our day of coordinator, don't know what we would have done without her and her pleasant and calm demeanor and her ability to keep everyone straight and on the timeline. I have control issues, LOL, but, didn't even think twice once explaining my daughter's vision for her decor and then handing off our decor. I couldn't wait to see how they utilized it and decorated everything and boy, it did not disappoint. All of our guests commented about how stunning everything was. As I danced away on the dancefloor, I looked at the tables and not one single person was still at their table, they were dancing, playing lawn games, walking the beautiful property or relaxing around the fire.

The grass wasn't green, the flowers were not bright in color, there was no decor set up from a prior wedding, and yet, we fell in love with the venue. The 2 hour drive home, all we talked about was how stunning it was and how simple but beautiful each building was. Throughout the 3 years of planning, I emailed Dawn every little question I had and she was quick to respond with her best suggestion. I enjoyed visited each years open house. As there are many parts i appreciated, i really appreciated how Stoltzfus suggested or required other vendors such as flowers, food, hotels. It took the stress away of finding someone. It brought ease knowing we were hiring someone who has worked with Stoltzfus and knew the staff and lay of the land. We knew we wanted a barn wedding and Stoltzfus just amazed us.

Rachel Stark(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2021 Where do I even begin with Stoltzfus Homestead? From the moment we toured this venue, I instantly fell in love with the esthetics and had a vision in my head of what my dream wedding would look like. But honestly, it wasn’t the venue itself that sold me. We had a tour with one of the owner Brian, and he sold us!! Not only did we just get a tour of the place, he walked us through as is we were a guest arriving to our wedding day. From the walk up to the ceremony barn and set up, to the cocktail lounge/fire pit, and finally to the Grand Barn for the reception, it’s honestly hard not to fall in love with all of what the venue has to offer. This was definitely a top contender as soon as the tour ended, but what sealed the deal for us chatting with Brian afterwards with next steps and pricing. I knew Stoltzfus was “a la carte” but I didn’t expect them to have a list of partner vendors to choose from (various styls + pricing options) which made the whole planning process SO easy. No doing your own research, hunting down vendors and guessing who to go with (esp if you’re not from the area!) by the end of the conversation, I wouldn’t let my fiancé leave without us choosing a date and putting a deposit down. Just like when you find your dress, I KNEW this was my venue! The other owner and wedding consultant Dawn was simply amazing to say the least. She emailed every few months with updates on who/what to book leading up to the wedding date (hotel, transportation, etc) to help guide you, as well as props and services they offer for rent to make your day more special and affordable. She truly helped bring my vision to life by recommending and providing decor, even up until the morning of when a bridesmaid forgot a box of decor! It was a relief having a (better) backup plan. I am so blown away by both Dawn and Brian, and our day of coordinator Chela! for being there on our day and making sure everything went smoothly. It’s truly a blessing that we found Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens, the whole team + vendors care SO MUCH about making your day perfect and stress free- they are there every step of the way. It’s hard for me to say what part was my favorite (tiny house bar, sparkler send off, new bridal suite, or the awesome cocktail lounge that looks like Joanna Gaines designed it!!!) but I do know that choosing Stoltzfus Homestead was the best decision I’ve ever made!

All questions were answered within a day, and usually within an hour or less at all times of day. One thing that especially stood out was how well the venue handled the rainy weather that unfortunately plagued our wedding day. They were well-prepared for the multiple changes of plans that were required as the rain came and went. The whole process of switching from Plan A to Plan B was seamless and I'm sure our guests didn't even know that last minute changes were enacted. I especially appreciate Brian's empathy and sense of humor as he sensed that my wife and I were both stressed and disappointed by the weather.Thank you, Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens, for a memorable wedding that was exactly what we were looking for.

Kathy McFadden(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2021 We still can’t believe how blessed we were to have had our daughter’s wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead. We looked at several similar venues in Lancaster, but nothing compared, and our daughter knew it was right the minute she walked in. Having the ceremony and reception in two separate barns really made it special and they were each decorated differently. The grounds are spectacular. Their attention to detail is really obvious. Every time I was there, someone was gardening or sprucing up. Dawn and Brian made us feel like family from our first day of planning. We loved getting ready in the newly renovated Bridal Suite. Their on-site florist, Megan, of Pearls & Petals, really added to the beauty of the day with her gorgeous flower arrangements. The wedding coordinators are top notch. Pam kept everything on track and handled any issues that came up during the day. I truly got to sit back and just enjoy the blessings of the day. I can’t begin to count how many people said it was the nicest wedding they’ve ever been to. At most weddings, you have two choices; dance or sit at your table. At our wedding, the dance floor was full, there were people enjoying the comfortable furniture in the outdoor lounge, guests enjoying the fire pit and still others playing corn hole boards in the courtyard. There’s something for everyone and we all enjoyed every minute of the day. You won’t look further after visiting Stoltzfus Homestead. Reviewed on 18-09-2021

We went to visit another venue right after and the entire time I could not stop thinking about the homestead and called them right away to book our date! I am so happy we did. The venue itself is beautiful. It was so nice to have the ceremony in the tobacco barn and the reception in the grand barn. What really sold us on the venue was the outdoors. We loved the setting for cocktail hour and the outdoor activities that took place the rest of the night, such as the game package and camp fire. So many guests told us how beautiful they thought the venue was! Dawn, one of the owners, was wonderful to work with. She answered all of my questions the entire year leading up to the wedding and provided me with an abundance of helpful information. The homestead also provided us with our wedding coordinator, who also was named Dawn. She made everything run smoothly and flawlessly on our wedding day. There was so many things that needed to be done and she helped the day keep moving! She decorated the venue exactly how I wanted it. I came to her with very specific ideas and visions and she made the venue look better than I could have ever imagined! In addition to that, she was there handling any bumps in the road the entire day and handling things that I didn't even know needed handling! Dawn handled so many different tasks throughout the wedding so that we could truly enjoy the day with all of our family and friends. She really took away a lot of the stress for us! All of the staff at the venue were amazing to work with. The homestead provided me with some vendors that they recommended I use and I am so glad they did. It made my life easier to find some vendors I knew had good reputations and I was so pleased with everything the homestead recommended.

Brian & Dawn, as well as our Day-of coordinator Chela, were amazing. They had everything from rehearsal to the last song of the night running perfectly.

There was essentially no stress, as they were on top of things from the minute we confirmed out date, to the day after the ceremony.The venue is gorgeous, the mix of indoor-outdoor spaces works together beautifully.

Rachel Hammond(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-11-2020 It has taken a while to put into words what The Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens and their staff mean to my (now) husband and me. We knew immediately after our first visit that we wanted to have our special day there. The fabulous owners, Dawn and Brian, made us feel like part of the family from the moment we arrived. The facility itself is stunning; it’s clear how much care and dedication go into the property down to the smallest detail. From the barn beams to the flowers, it is simply beautiful. We booked our Spring 2020 date back in Fall 2018 because my father needed a double lung transplant, and we wanted him to have plenty of time to heal. Each time we talked to anyone at Stoltzfus, they asked about him and our families and reminded us how excited they were for our wedding. It always felt special, like they genuinely cared about us.Fast forward to March 2020, when COVID-19 hit, we were devastated, confused, and terrified about what it meant for our big day. Dawn was a ray of sunshine; she was always cheerful and continuously kept us in the loop with new procedures and protocols, which helped ease our fears and anxiety. She worked quickly to help us rebook within the same year (in November), keeping our fingers crossed that the pandemic would subside. As the day grew closer, we thought about safety and ultimately downsized our guest list to only immediate families and bridal parties. We started to feel like maybe it wouldn’t be worth it to have our big day in such a beautiful space with such few people, and that perhaps we would have an intimate ceremony in a park, save our money, and pick a new date for the future. When I spoke with Dawn about it, she refused in the best way possible. She extraordinarily offered us the use of their venue for a lesser price than we had initially signed our contract for two years prior. Her words were, “We have all waited so long for this, and we want you to be blessed and have a beautiful wedding day at the homestead.” They cared so much about my fiancé and I that they were willing to offer us the use of their stunning facility for less than we had initially agreed. The wedding industry is a multi-billion dollar monster. I’ve heard horror stories of venues closing and mistreating couples just because they can…this is not the case at Stoltzfus Homestead. These people genuinely care about their couples and families, and we were honored and blessed to be married on November 20th. It was a perfect day, with warm (for November) weather and sunshine. Our 25 person wedding was everything we could ever have dreamed of, my father was able to walk me down the aisle, and the attention to detail was just as precise as it would have been for a 250 person gathering. We will always be incredibly grateful to Dawn, Brian, and Ginger (our wedding coordinator, who is an absolute JOY) for saving our wedding. They helped us coordinate with a streaming service so our extended family and friends could watch live and even allowed us to have a bonfire during our reception. We felt like we were dealing with family during the entire process, and when something is as stressful as wedding planning, you couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Dawn and Brian, you’ll never know how grateful we are for what you did for us, and we wish you the best and hoped that you are incredibly blessed. Reviewed on 02-12-2020

The day we visited we knew we had to get married at stoltzfus. The grand barn was so gorgeous on its own and though we wanted an outside ceremony, the tobacco barn was a really pretty back up plan. Dawn and Brian were SO supportive, reassuring and empathetic during planning during covid. They're whole team was so organized and efficient, our wedding day was so smooth and everyone took such good care of us throughout the day. They had a team to help pack up our decorations and they did it so quickly. We received so many compliments throughout the night from our guests with how pretty and perfect the venue was.

I then began to folllow them on social media and knew there was no where else I’d have my dream wedding. The venue itself is breathtaking but the details the staff puts into making your day so personal is outstanding. Brian and Dawn have this down to a science and give you all the tips and advice to make your dream day a reality. I had so many people ask “aren’t you stressed about your wedding” and the answer was always no...looking back this is because of the tools and confidence they offer while wedding planning they’re there every step of the way and able to answer any question. When it came to my actual wedding day I was lucky enough to have Ginger as my onsite cordinator-she deserves her own review because I’ve never met someone so detail oriented, who was so kind, and made us feel as though she had been a longtime family friend. Ginger made sure every minute of my day was perfect down to packing up our things at the end of the evening. Brian and the rest of the team also really made my day special, even from something as simple as carrying my bags in the morning to the bridal suite because it was “my day” as they put it. I’ve dreamt about my wedding day since a little girl and our wedding held at Stoltzfus was better then anything in my wildest dreams.

Our wedding was originally set for June 6, 2020 - right in the thick of the coronavirus pandemic. We ended up postponing our reception to August in the hopes that the pandemic would subside enough to have a celebration. Dawn and Brian were ultra generous, understanding, and flexible in the given circumstances - they allowed us to have a small ceremony on our original June 6 date with our immediate families at the venue, with full access to all of the amenities for no additional charge. For the larger reception, the Stoltzfus crew did an amazing job communicating updates and implementing safety measures to make our guests feel safe. Ginger was our coordinator for both days, and she was absolutely wonderful! I did not feel stressed at all on the day of the wedding because Ginger took care of everything! We chose Stoltzfus for a couple reasons. First, it is a GORGEOUS venue (even when we toured in January!). I don't think you can take a single bad picture there. Second, we wanted a laid-back, comfortable atmosphere for our wedding, and Stoltzfus delivered. All of our guests loved the fire pit and the lawn games, everyone felt right at home! Third, I wanted to have some options in choosing the vendors for our wedding (some venues have onsite catering that may limit your options, and since we wanted BBQ, I needed options!). Stoltzfus has a wonderful selection of vendors that they partner with, and all of them are amazing! I did not realize how valuable this vendor network was until the 2 weeks before the wedding, when we met with all of our vendors to finalize the details. I was stressed about having to coordinate details with the vendors (e.g. make sure the DJ knows when to introduce the cake cutting, get the bouquets from the florist to give to the photographer for detail shots). But since the Stoltzfus vendors work together quite often, they were able to take care of all of those little details for me, most of the time without me knowing. Dawn, Brian, and Ginger took such good care of us and I will forever be grateful to them and their team for giving us the perfect wedding day (twice!). Reviewed on 26-08-2020

Courtney the day of coordinator was life changing, she went above and beyond in every aspect whether it was bustling my dress, ensuring we ate, and handling everything throw her way.

From the very first time we set foot on the property to the very last second of our wedding day, the staff at the Homestead made everything run smoothly. Brian and Dawn treated us and our families as if we were family. They are so incredibly kind!

Samantha Tew(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-09-2019 The venue was beautiful and great! My Day of Coordinator was absolutely fantastic. Dawn and Brian did a great job showing us the venue and everything. The only thing that really bothered me was the fact they had tours scheduled on our wedding day and I felt invaded because I was walking around in my robe. There was no communication about this and they said we had the venue the whole day. Just ask if you book with them etc. Reviewed on 23-09-2019
Sarah Toigo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-08-2019 The reviews don't lie... Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens and their entire team, particularly Dawn and Brian, are incredible. From the second we visited their venue to our wedding 8 months later, Dawn and her team were responsive, professional, incredibly knowledgable, and supportive. 90% of our guests came from out of town and had never been to the area, and they won't stop raving about how beautiful the venue was. We were concerned about the heat in August, but it proved to not be an issue as a result of a casual dress code and cooling units (and an ice cream truck didn't hurt). We were also concerned about rain, and while it did rain for ~20 minutes it honestly enhanced the day. Dawn's husband Brian kept us in the loop on the weather schedule, and the beautiful sunny downpour (and rainbow) that followed made our day even more special. SHG is a well oiled machine, but they still work individually with each couple and work to make each wedding authentic to the couple. I could not recommend the venue highly enough, and we're so grateful to the SHG team for a wonderful, unforgettable experience. Reviewed on 12-09-2019

They worked together seamlessly to make Jen’s wedding spectacular! During our Father-Daughter dance, when Jen said that “this day is perfect” and “this is the best day of my life”, I knew it was due in large part to the hard work behind the scenes by the SH&G team. Our venue coordinator, Pam, was magnificent! She allowed us to “live in the moment” and to not stress the details!The grounds are beautifully maintained and our guests loved the Wedding Barn, the Reception Barn, the Lounge, and the outdoor area where the hors d’oeuvres were served.

The grounds are incredibly beautiful, and I loved that I didn’t need to add much to it to make it picturesque. I can’t begin to recommend this venue enough. They provide just the right balance of structure and flexibility, and everything was clear, organized, and detail-oriented. The staff knew exactly what they were doing, and I cannot thank them enough.As a bride, of course I tried to plan “the perfect day.” This venue allowed that to come to fruition, and I would not have changed a single thing.

It is beautiful on the grounds and the perfect place for a laid back wedding. Brain and our day of coordinator Ginger made sure our day ran calmly and smoothly despite the heat and storm. Dawn was our officiant and we couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. She made it so personal and special and we are so happy we chose her! Also, we couldn’t be happier with our handmade sweetheart table from their son. Our bridal party gave it as a gift to us during rehearsal and all signed the bottom of it.

Regan Wolski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2019 I am still in awe of our complete experience with Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens. During our initial tour, Brian gave me an idea of what it would be like to be a bride behind those big barn doors of the Tobacco barn and entering with my father to walk the aisle. The barn doors make a certain rumble that can't be duplicated and certainly demand attention, it still gives me chills. In that moment I knew I wanted to get married in the Tobacco Barn. I knew standing behind those doors would end up to be one of the most emotional and stand out moments of my wedding day. It took my husband and I only a couple of minutes to send in our verbal agreement that we would have our wedding at the homestead. And from then on every detail leading up to our day was well thought out and discussed to keep our minds at ease during planning. Dawn and Brian made sure that everyone was on the same page with meetings and constant communication until our wedding day. When you choose to have your wedding day at the homestead you can expect to feel like you are part of a true family. Our wedding coordinator Liz and our site host Charlie, went to every length to make sure our day would run smoothly and without any issues. The preferred vendors and the level of expertise each of these people brought to our special day was truly remarkable to watch and comforting to know we were in good hands. Having the whole grounds to yourself and watching your vision come together is a unique experience that you won't find anywhere else. If you are looking for a venue that offers an authentic setting, with beautiful scenery and amazing staff that truly care about you, Stoltzfus Homestead is the venue for you! Reviewed on 08-07-2019

Sydni Weir(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-08-2018 Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens is the BEST venue you could ever go with! Where to even begin... First, my family and I are located in Maryland. I had to be married in front of a weeping willow tree, so the hunt was on! We visited 4-5 venues within Maryland, but there was always an issue. From not enough room for our guests, to not being able to get married by the Willow tree. So I decided to venture out. Thanks to WeddingWire, Stoltzfus came across my screen. The reviews were great, and I noticed right away that there were Weeping Willows on the property. When I emailed Stoltzfus, Dawn (owner) responded within a day. She was excited to tell me all about their venue, what they offered and how they had multiple weeping willows for me to choose from. She even sent me pictures of them all! When my mom, and my fiancé Joey headed up to see the property (3 1/2 hour drive), Dawn was SO flexible when it came to a time, especially knowing we were coming from so far away. INSTANTLY we were blown away by their venue. The grounds themselves were breathtaking. I loved how they had two barns, one for the reception, and one for the ceremony (if it rained and you couldn't get married outside). Everything was just beautiful. We walked around the property checking out all the weeping willows, there were a bunch! Leaving, we knew they were the venue we had been looking for. We didn't decide on the marriage spot until about a month before the wedding since I wanted to see the trees in full bloom. Throughout the entire process, Dawn and her team made EVERYTHING go as smoothly as possible, communication was constant, and I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. She had answers to everything. being a \"destination\" wedding, I was really feeling the pressure, but Dawn made me feel so comfortable. I loved how the florist (Petals & pearls, Megan, Dawns daughter) and the bar tenders (Brian Waltman, Dawns Husband), were onsite. We took a few trips back up over the course of the year before the wedding to get details together. I was always able to coordinate with them as well, so that we all were meeting at the same time, and not making extra trips. Dawn and her team made sure that the spot I chose by the willow tree was PERFECT. They did everything in their power to make sure that the area itself was perfect. The grass was beautiful, the trees and shrubs were green and Brian himself even took out some dead shrubs so that it all flowed so nicely for my big day!! On my wedding day, they always say that no day goes perfectly, but I am here to tell you MINE DID!!! Dawn and her team made sure of that!!!! When we woke up the morning of my big day, it was sprinkling, and the forecast showed afternoon showers. Dawn and Brian both assured me that everything was going to be okay. Brian waited until the last possible second before setting up our benches, which luckily the rain completely held off until dinner!!! From that very morning, till our night was over, everything was perfect. They never made it feel rushed, Dawn and Brian were there to support us, and our guests on our big day. They made you feel like you were family. This venue and their staff is absolutely the most kind hearted and giving people you will meet. You would not be disappointed in choosing them to be your venue!!!! Reviewed on 11-01-2019

We were fortunate enough to have our wedding and reception at Stoltzfus this past October. My now husband and I knew as soon as we toured Stoltzfus that our search for the perfect wedding venue was over. Not only is the venue unbelievably gorgeous; but Dawn and Brian (the owners) are two of the most genuinely kind people we have ever had the privilege of working with. Planning a wedding is no small task, but Dawn makes the entire process extremely manageable. She is always quick to answer any and all questions and truly works with you to make sure your vision comes to life on your wedding day. Our day of coordinator, Pam Seaburg, was equally delightful to work with and went above and beyond to ensure our big day went off without a hitch. I am definitely the type of person who tends to stress over details, however I can honestly say that I was able to completely relax the entire wedding week knowing that our day was in such capable hands.
