About

Step Back into a time you'll never forget...If vintage is your style, we've got your venue! Imagine a reception in a barn with old canoes hanging in the rafters, stocked with antique tables, chairs and other vintage decor, a penny candy counter and an old-fashioned root beer float stand. Everything is here that you need, just bring your family, friends and your style.

We’re a new rustic barn venue on 130 acres with a lakeside ceremony space in Northeastern PA - Half way between Scranton, PA and Binghamton, NY. We are 180 miles from NYC and Philadelphia. We offer a rustic barn decorated in vintage antiquities that's yours for the week - just bring your personal touch.

The barn can hold 150 guests and additional tent(s) can be added for more seating. Since we are a bed and breakfast, we offer housing for the wedding party or VIP guests in both our 1820's farmhouse and 1920's Craftsman Cottage. The lakefront is a picturesque ceremony space and the boating/swimming areas make for a fun rehearsal picnic in the warmer weather.

Also available is a 1936 Chris Craft mahogany boat or 1954 ivory MGTD that can be used for "Just Married" transportation in style. For that first night together, stay in our 1930's English honeymoon cottage nestled in 100 acres of woods away from the rest of the group.

There is other lodging nearby for the rest of your guests including our sister bed and breakfast which is a gorgeous 1855 home.

Outside of the gorgeous venue, natural landscape and accommodations that make Fiddle Lake Farm so great, are the people that make it all happen. Pam, Craig, Lisa (L.C. Solutions), and the rest of the crew were helpful, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and prepared every step of the way. We spent the week of our wedding at the venue and stayed in their historic Bed and Breakfast. Their services were top notch, they were attentive and helpful with wedding setup and tear down, and also great to hang out with. We truly had an amazing time getting to know Pam, Craig and Lisa and are grateful to be part of the Fiddle Lake Family. Their hard work and passion for making your wedding day vision come to life will shine through on your path to the alter. We are so grateful to have met our new Fiddle Lake Family and for the amazing wedding we had. We give the highest recommendation for the venue and the people that make it so great. Thank you Fiddle Lake Farm!

Fiddle Lake Farm is quite the magical property! After touring the grounds we knew it was the venue for us because it featured beautiful scenery, clean & quaint quarters for us and guests, and lakefront property for wedding party options. We felt at ease the moment we met with Pam & Craig, in fact, we continued talking for hours after deciding to go with Fiddle for our rock & roll carnival themed wedding. And, would you believe, the barn featured a built-in vintage soda jerk stand! Everything about Fiddle suited our dream wedding plans and I can state, without any reservation that Pam & Craig were the perfect venue owners that did everything they could to make our dreams come true. Thank you Fiddle Lake Farm! Photographers-The Markows

We will be FOREVER grateful to Pam & Craig and the Fiddle Lake Farm family! They made every single one of our wedding day dreams possible. We are from Long Island and wanted that true barn wedding experience. We found Fiddle Lake, went for a visit, and never looked back. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish and we truly felt like part of the Fiddle Lake Farm family (and still do!) Pam and Craig were always so welcoming through email and during our multiple visits to the barn that always came with something fun, such as tasting homemade honey, a ride on a snowmobile or gator, or Craig's wonderful stories about the Adirondacks. They truly love what they do and making you feel right at home. They had so many wonderful recommendations for vendors and every single one ended up being FABULOUS! The barn and the grounds are GORGEOUS, with so many different backgrounds and environments to take photos, from inside the barn, the the ferns, or out in the field, or up on the hill overlooking Elk Mountain, the beautiful views and locations are endless! You also have the option of setting up the barn and decor in any way you wish! It was so nice to get a chance to be creative! The legacy barn, where past couples have left their mark, whether it was by leaving frames, candles, mason jars, chalkboard signs, there were so many things to choose from and use and saved us so much money on trips to Michaels! Fiddle Lake even enabled us to have root beer and creamiscle floats served by Pam and Craig's son and a fireworks show in the field, smores and sparklers by the bon fire, and a Floating Lantern send off! Our guests were absolutely IN LOVE with Fiddle Lake, so much so that they even said "How is anyone else supposed to get married following this wedding?" and one of our friends that attended our wedding is now getting married there themselves next fall! It was an absolute hit and our friends and family are STILL talking about it! I could go on and on about how wonder

Words cannot express how magical Fiddle Lake Farm is, and how SPECTACULAR our wedding turned out under the guidance and support of Pam and Craig!

As my fiancé and I were searching for a venue, our standards were almost impossibly high. We wanted a forest ceremony, a barn reception, a nearby lake, and enough lodging for our immediate family and bridal party to enjoy the entire weekend on site. Trothing through countless websites, I thought our standards were way too high and there was no way such a place existed. Eventually we found FLF and it fit every criteria we had, and actually turned out a million times better!

The beautiful vintage barn decor, the car and boat rides, the root beer float bar, their gorgeous home, the field, the forest, the lake, the magical lighting, everything came together to create the perfect vibe for a spectacular wedding! We definitely recommend it wholeheartedly, and look forward to visiting Fiddle Lake Farm as a married couple!

Where do I even begin with this venue!? Fiddle Lake Farm is truly magical and I cannot think of a better place for my wedding ceremony and reception (6/18/16). The owners, Pam and Craig, are SO nice and easy to work it. We got to know them a little while planning our wedding and they are fantastic, kind people! This wedding venue has it all. It's a farm, with a barn, on a lake, in the mountains, with forests and ferns <3 The grounds are huge, yet intimate, and there are many options for where to hold the ceremony. We held ours in the hayfield full of purple and yellow flowers over looking Elk Mountain. It was incredible. Guests rode a tractor/hayride to get up there. It was so cute! If that's not your thing, there is also a vintage car available. The barn, where we held our reception, has a fun, rustic vibe, and tons of antique furniture so you really don't need to do much decorating of your own. You can rent gorgeous wooden farm tables from FLF at a reasonable price, and they provide mixed antique chairs free of charge! They also have a storage barn filled with more antiques, props and signage left behind by other brides. We used mixed china from the barn rather than renting it, which really saved us. Pam and Craig run a B&B, which is where I stayed with my bridesmaids the night before, and they also have a lake house where the groomsmen stayed. They own a cabin on the same lake and know others who own homes around the lake too. This meant that our closest friends could stay at the venue with us, arrive a few days early, and relax around the lake. My husband and I were also able to arrive earlier in the week and stay in the bridal suite as we casually got ready for the weekend. You have the option to have your rehearsal dinner at the lake, which we did. It was laid back and cozy, everything we were going for. You provide your own vendors, but Pam and Craig are flexible and this allows you to customize the entire day. Call for a tour now before your date is gone!

This is the best kept secret in northeast PA! Finding a spot to take pictures was easy (everywhere). My husband and I are beyond grateful to have our reception there. Pam is so accommodating and she has suggestions for other vendors to making planning easier. I would have been lost without her. The most difficult part of this venue is keeping all the pintrest ideas at bay. ;) They have another barn full of decorations you can rent. As far as price goes, they are in line with similar venues but not many others have bathrooms or Pam. If you go look at it, you will fall in love.

Fiddle Lake Farm was the absolute most perfect spot for our wedding. Pam is accommodating and easy to work with. She responds to emails quickly and truly tries to make your wedding the best it can be. The Farm House and Lake House are great places for guests to stay. The Farm House is a great spot for the girls to get ready the morning of and breakfast was great! The Lake House was used for our rehearsal dinner and who doesn't love being able to access the lake? Fiddle Lake Farm has a great team of individuals who truly work with you all day to make your wedding fabulous! Couldn't thank them enough!!

Fiddle Lake Farm is hands down amazing! Pam and Craig are so easy to work with. They made sure our weekend stay in the farm and lake house was comfortable. Do not worry about buying decorations, the barn at Fiddle Lake Farm is vintage unique and beautiful! I love the canoes in the ceiling, the soda float stand, and the handmade wooden tables are the perfect touch. I wish I could re-live my wedding at Fiddle Lake Farm. Once you're there, you fall in love and understand the feeling I am talking about. I highly recommend Fiddle Lake Farm! Thank you to everyone at Fiddle Lake who helped make my wedding everything I've dreamed of.

Frosted Frosted Wedding Cakes

My favorite venue in the whole world! If you are looking for a vintage barn wedding, look no further. With Fiddle Lake Farm, you will not only get several options for your ceremony site, (a beautiful barn, high up in a field overlooking the mountains, lake side, or in a fairy tale-esque wooded clearing) you will also have options for lodging, activities and the BEST customer service with people who can become your friends for life. Pam and Craig Benson make Fiddle Lake Farm what it is. Every time I have delivered cakes there I have been so in awe of the details and amazing moments being made. And best of all, those moments don't have to be confined to just the wedding ceremony and reception. You can make an entire weekend out of your wedding and savor the love in the air just a little bit longer.
