Look no further

If you are looking for the perfect "Barn Vibe" wedding, THIS IS IT! My husband and I got Married on 5.18.24. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful. They have a get ready house with a hair/makeup room and a getting dressed room for the girls and a get ready room for the guys. Downstairs is a living room and full kitchen. We had our ceremony outdoors by the pond. Jes our coordinator knew how much I wanted to have the ceremony outside. It was raining all morning and she made me feel so calm and confident that morning that everything was going to be taken care of. The rain stopped just in time to have the ceremony outdoors. We had our cocktail hour outside and in the lower level of the barn which is absolutely gorgeous. Our reception was picture perfect on the top level of the barn. Harvest View has a room of decor that you can look through and choose from to have put out on your wedding day which is incredibly helpful. We can't say enough good things about our coordinator Jes and the HVB team. It was such a blessing to work with Jes throughout this journey. We met a few times to go over the vision for our day and talk about the flow of events and all the details. The day of the wedding Jes was ON IT! WOW! We will never be able to express our gratitude for everything she did for us. We certainly give Harvest View a 10/10 & 5 Stars. For all the brides out on your wedding search, be sure to book a tour at Harvest View! You won't regret it! Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true.

Words cannot describe how wonderful Harvest View Barn was for our big day! Right from the start, we knew we were in great hands! Katie and her team really made our day seamless and worry free! Having the house on site for our bridal party to relax, eat, and get ready for the ceremony was a huge convenience. It allowed us to have the hair stylists and make up artists tend to the bridal party on site. The picturesque grounds at Harvest View made for some amazing photos and videos highlighting our day. Again, cannot say enough about the attention to detail by Katie and her staff. She was there at every turn, anticipating each aspect of the day, making sure the day ran as smooth as it did! Thank you Harvest View for making our wedding day so memorable and beautiful!

Beyond Expectations

We cannot say enough about Harvest View Barn! Our wedding was just magical and harvest view made it a dream come true! We knew we wanted to get married there even before we got engaged but the whole experience from start to finish was wonderful! Jes was amazing to work with and made everything less stressful! She was so organized and had everything down to the detail! She even let me borrow her white shall on the wedding day when she heard I forgot mine during the rehearsal! The venue also just speaks for itself the views and the sunset was just perfect! We loved every minute of our day at Harvest View Barn!

Gorgeous venue, amazing people!

My husband and I got married at Harvest View July 7th. 2023. Picking Harvest View as our venue was the best decision! When we got there for the tour, the grounds were gorgeous. Every direction you look is beautiful. When we went upstairs into the barn, it took our breath away. It was everything we were looking for and more. Katie gave us the tour and answered every question I had before I had to even ask them (I brought a huge list of questions). A few months out from our wedding, we started working with our coordinator, Jes. She was so easy to talk to and I knew from our first call that she would make our day run smoothly. As the wedding got closer, I had questions frequently and Jes answered every single one really quickly. We went to the barn for a meeting to go over all the details. We picked decor that Harvest View has available to use, and decided where certain things would go for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We went over the final details rehearsal night and made sure we had everything ready to go the next day. When we arrived at the farmhouse the morning of our wedding day, Jes was there to greet us and immediately put my mind at ease. As someone with wicked anxiety issues, I can honestly say I was extremely calm on our wedding day and it's because of Jes and the rest of the Harvest View staff. Jes and the other coordinators put all of my decorations and signs out. They displayed my decor (guest book, welcome sign, ceremony space, seating chart, memorial table, etc.) better than I had even imagined. I gave them the decor and trusted them to put it all out and it was creative and beautiful. Jes continuously checked in with myself and the rest of the wedding party to make sure we didn't need anything. She also checked in to make sure we had eaten a little something and had water so no one would pass out during the ceremony (I have a history of doing that if I don't eat enough). We had the ceremony upstairs in the barn due to the crazy heat. I had sent Jes pictures of ideas I had for the sweetheart table decor. During cocktail hour while they flipped the ceremony space to the reception space, she took those examples and made them happen, even better than the ones I sent. Even down to the tiniest details, Jes had it down. Just an example, I had light bases for the table numbers to be displayed on and they could be changed to different colors if anyone had touched the button on it. I mentioned this and Jes said that's why she specifically set them up so the button was turned in towards the centerpieces and no one would know the button was even there. They set up all the decor for you and then pack everything up at the end of the reception and even put everything in cars for you. It takes a big weight off the couple and their families because you literally just have to show up on your wedding day and soak it all in. No worrying about set up, tear down, showing guests where to go, keeping track of gifts/cards. They do everything for you and they genuinely enjoy it. I could go on and on because there are so many other examples. Jes and the people at Harvest View Barn go above and beyond for their couples and I promise it'll be the best decision you make for the most important day of your life! Thank you so much Jes and the rest of the staff!

If I could give 6 stars I would

I’m really not sure we can say enough to emphasize just how great HVB is. Our coordinator, Katie, did a phenomenal job and made our day go without a hitch. Every question we had was answered quickly, and every issue (not many) that came up was resolved promptly. Our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without Katie and her team running the show. I’d recommend HVB@HF to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with wonderful people!!

Absolutely breathtaking

Harvest view was the first venue we looked at and it surely set the bar high! This place is absolutely amazing and they are a dream to work with. Many of our guests asked “how did you find this place!?” It was exactly what we wanted for a venue! Jess was our day of coordinator and she was awesome to work with! Everything was spot on. Thank you all so much!

Incredible!

I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN! As soon as we walked into the barn we knew this was our venue. The team at Harvest View Barn was absolutely incredible! We were originally set to get married on 10.17.20. And when the world shut down we were nervous about having our day. When we decided to postpone we reached out and they were incredibly accommodating. We seamlessly transferred our wedding to 10.30.21. Katie was our day of coordinator along with Sunny. Katie was so amazing to work with. She truly made all my Halloween Wedding visions come true and even assisted with some ideas herself. Everything was absolutely perfect and we could not have done it without Harvest View! Shout out to Crystal as well, she was amazing with answering all our crazy questions. Thank you Harvest View Team for everything!

Picture Perfect Day!

We had a wonderful experience working with Harvest View for our big day! From the very beginning of planning to seeing it all come together, they were incredibly professional while also making sure our individual needs were met! We also highly recommend having a day of coordinator through the venue - she made our day run seamlessly. Thank you HVB crew for the picture perfect day :)

We were privileged with the opportunity to provide our photo booth service at Harvest View this past fall. Beautiful! In a word, and an understatement. That is how we would describe the Harvest View Barn at Hershey Farms. We've been to a number of Wedding venues but the barn is just exceptional. Simply a gorgeous venue and location. We were really impressed every aspect of the facilities. T Shirley and Jim were excellent hosts and very accommodating of our needs. I will also note, they were engaging. From a client perspective, we know they were also accommodating of their clients, even for last minute changes. We really couldn't recommend a nicer location, venue or proprietor. We certainly look forward to future opportunities to work at Harvest View Barn at Hershey Farms again.
