Wedding Venue of My Dreams

I can't say enough great things about Historic Acres. This was the first venue we looked at and I knew right away we didn't need to keep looking because this venue was the one! Melodie and Katie were fantastic -  professional, quick to respond, organized, and calm. The venue itself is absolutely STUNNING - we got so many comments from our guests on how beautiful it is. They made me feel so at ease throughout this process. I felt like I could relax on the day of my wedding and let them take over. HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here!

Perfect Fall Wedding

Historic Acres of Hershey was the perfect venue for our wedding. From scheduling tours to booking the venue, the entire process was extremely smooth. The team at Historic Acres answered all of our questions and helped make sure our day went perfectly. The venue itself is stunning and was perfect for our fall wedding. Could not recommend this venue and the Historic Acres team more!

Bridal Entrance is Worth it

Absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorite things about this venue was the fact that it is beautiful on its own, I barely needed to buy decorations or flowers. There are so many photo location spots. If you love greenery and the outdoors this is the perfect venue for you.

Beautiful Ceremony

I wanted to take a moment to share our incredible experience with our recent micro wedding at HAH. We opted for an intimate ceremony with our closest family, and it was truly perfect.

The venue is a charming little space, and we felt so lucky to celebrate such a significant moment in a beautiful setting. After the ceremony, we were able to capture wonderful memories with our family around the venue, thanks to the picturesque spots available.

I must highlight the amazing staff at HAH; their support and attention to detail made our day exceptionally special. We wholeheartedly believe that no matter what route you choose, you will not be disappointed with this venue.

Thank you, HAH, for making our day one to remember for years to come.

AMAZING Venue and Team!

Historic Acres of Hershey was the PERFECT place to celebrate our wedding day! The entire HAH team (shoutout to Katie and Melodie) were incredibly helpful from start to finish. They were attentive, professional, and kind - always answering our questions and giving us advice during our planning process.

HAH space is incredibly well-manicured and pristine. Between the landscaping, The Farmhouse, interior and exterior of the spaces - it looked like we were the first people to ever step foot on the grounds! That's how beautiful everything looked.

We wholeheartedly recommend having any event here. You will not regret it!

Choose Historic Acres of Hershey for a seamless and beautiful wedding experience

Choosing Historic Acres for our wedding was the best choice we could have made! From the start, we knew we were supported and any questions that I had were answered quickly and with detailed information. The venue itself is beautiful and is the complete package. Using the beautiful farmhouse the night before for me and my bridesmaids was a great choice as we were able to wake up stress free not needing to travel to the venue early in the morning. Katie and Melodie were so helpful throughout the entire process and took care of all the details, especially the ones we didn't even think about. We would highly recommend considering Historic Acres for your wedding. It's a choice you won't regret!

Perfect venue

This venue was beautiful. We looked at so many when deciding and we couldn’t be happier using historic acres. They were so great about getting back to me on every little question I had. The day of was BEAUTIFUL we had so many compliments on the venue and all the photo ops they have. If I could do it over again I’d still choose this venue

This venue has it ALL!

Historic Acres of Hershey makes for the most magical wedding EVER. The landscaping is pristine, the farmhouse is beautiful, the ceremony area in front of the pond is enchanting, and the reception hall built of beautiful glass walls and striking wood beams is so vast and magical! Even better, the staff at this venue is so friendly, professional, and thorough! My husband and I got married here back in May of 2022 and our wedding guests are STILL raving about how wonderful the venue was. Our guests (and us!) loved that there were so many beautiful spots throughout the venue for guests to socialize all day and all evening, each area with the most perfect photo backdrops. This venue truly checked all of our boxes (and then some!) making our wedding day so flawless and fun. Love, love, love!

Our wedding was a dream come true. This venue is stunning and perfect and I don’t think we will ever get over it. Every one of our guests talked about the beauty of this venue. They were easy to work with and this place is what dreams are made of!

Secluded location tucked in the rolling farmland of Hershey

Historic Acres of Hershey was a DREAM location. Being tucked into the rolling farmland of Hershey made it feel (and look!) like a secluded location. From the start, Melodie and Katie were so professional and were very responsive in answering any questions we had. From the first tour, final walk through, and wedding day you could tell the staff is so good at what they do. ALL of our guests were so impressed with the venue and I really hope someone I know gets married here in the future so I can experience the magic all over again! (PS if you have the availability to rent the farm house the night before and after the wedding DO IT. My bridesmaids and I stayed there the night before and it was just so perfect to be able to wake up and be at our "getting ready" location.) I have nothing but great things to stay about Historic Acres.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
