The Solarium contains a fireplace designed by Victorian architect Frank Furness. The property became a bed and breakfast in 1994. The owners have over 25 years of experience with hospitality, events, and weddings. Couples can enjoy their day knowing they are in good hands.

Gettysburg Battlefield B&B Wedding Venue

We were so fortunate to be able to hold our wedding at the Gettysburg Battlefield B&B. It was important for us to find a location that was gay friendly. This place met that desire. Connie, our event coordinator was great to work with throughout the entire planning process. She and her staff were very accommodating and made sure that all of our guests were comfortable despite the extreme heat. Connie took care of last minute details with the other vendors so we knew that things would go off without a hitch. The price was fair for all of the amenities. We enjoyed going straight from our ceremony to cocktail hour in the garden and then the reception all in one location. We could not have been happier with our experience and would definitely recommend to other couples looking for a venue.

Wow - the historic venue of my dreams

The entire team of B3 was fantastic from our first tour until the morning after.

Connie took the time to not just hand us a list of preferred vendors but understand our dream for the wedding and give us tailored recommendations.

We had no needs from day before wedding when we arrived at 10 am to a fully decorated barn and beautiful rooms for all (don’t even think of not staying on site).

The full team rolled with all the punches with calmness making me unusually calm wedding day. Things went wrong, but no one let it effect my peace, wedding dreams, or happiness.

Best Barn Venue in Gettysburg and more!!!

We were extremely satisfied with the venue and everything at the Battlefield B&B. I would not have been able to do it without Connie. She was so helpful, friendly, kind, and passionate about matching our vision of a perfect day with a great day. Our expectations were outdone! Thank you for everything. We cannot wait to return for our anniversary. Your farm and venue is probably the prettiest around =)

Battlefield Bed & Breakfast Wedding

A big thank you to Connie and her staff at the Battlefield Bed & Breakfast! We had the most perfect day there in October. After looking into several other options, I knew we would be in the best hands after seeing this place. The time, attention and detail put into our ceremony exceeded our expectations. We cant wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary.

Found my true north on the battlefield

We just got married here and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside area, outside garden area and beautiful architecture, plenty of parking, beautiful view. It was my dream venue and I’m in love with it. The staff is amazing and was so helpful the entire way through. They also work with a lot of great vendors that they recommend to you. And got to play with all the kitties.

Made us feel like family

Perfect to host an entire wedding weekend. It was really important for us to have everyone on site together to relax and celebrate over a holiday weekend. We were able to do a welcome event with ghost stories around the fire the first night. Everyone morning at breakfast the guests and our kids were able to enjoy the company and historical demonstrations. The wedding itself was beautiful and went smoothly but I think what really makes them special is their ability to make an entire weekend run smoothly and to let everyone relax together. I came out of the weekend super relaxed because of the atmosphere they provide at their little oasis.

Complete and Low Stress

Worked with Connie to organize our microwedding, and it turned out fantastic! The venue was beautiful and the staff was incredibly accommodating, on the ball, and had everything down to a science. We ended up going with one of the microwedding packages which included a night’s stay, venue, officiant, decorations, and cake. All of this made it so much easier and for a very reasonable price! Would rate 12/10.

If you are considering a venue in the Gettysburg area, the Battlefield needs to be on top of your list. This beautiful setting is second to none and their professionalism is unmatched. We have been lucky to capture some of our favorite memories at this location with a winter wedding in 2014 that is still one of the highlights from that year. While many venues are not known to allow photographers to use their property except for the day of the event, the Battlefield allows us to not only shoot engagement session there, but also other types of photography. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue and is one of our favorites in Central PA
