About

Moonstone Manor is a historic wedding venue located in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. The manor house dates back to 1742 and was once used as a United States Post Office and a railway ticket office. Today, it has been refurbished to a high-end finish and is the perfect setting for sophisticated celebrations. You can host every stage of your wedding journey at this picturesque venue that is situated along Conewago Creek. The classic stone exterior is surrounded by manicured gardens and lush greenery, providing a suitably refined backdrop for life’s special moments.

From engagement parties and rehearsal dinners to intimate elopements and large-scale receptions, Moonstone Manor accommodates every happy occasion. There are four stunning choices for outdoor ceremonies, including the Woodland Pavilion and Creekside locations. Couples can also say ‘I do’ under a Victorian Gazebo in the garden or at the rustic Grist Mill Stone Ruins. Guests can savor the peaceful, scenic grounds while you capture one-of-a-kind photographs throughout the estate. Cocktail hour is held on the patio, a pretty spot from which you can hear the sounds of the creek sweeping by as the soirée unfolds. Receptions for up to 250 loved ones are held in an elegant marquee. This semi-outdoor space features mock-Georgian window panels, a lofty ceiling, chandelier lighting, and space for dinner and dancing. The dedicated staff at Moonstone Manor provides everything you need to celebrate in style. From linens and decor to lights and furniture, they will decorate the tent according to your tastes. This is a wheelchair-accessible destination with ample parking, complimentary WiFi, and a relaxed attitude when it comes to bringing your pets along for the party.

Gatsby Lovers Paradise

My husband and I just got married at Moonstone Manor on May 11 and we could not be more thankful that we chose them as our wedding venue. They were so responsive, receptive, and kind to us and our guests. Any questions we had, they were quick to respond. They kept the grounds immaculate and accommodated our needs. It ended up raining at night during our reception and they even brought in a bunch of umbrellas for our guests to use in the case they needed to go out of the tent to get to their car or the bathroom. Our guests raved about the venue all night long! It's a dream!

Enchanting Wedding Venue

This wedding venue is a fairytale setting that blends the grandeur of a beautiful manor house with stunning landscapes. The manicured gardens and whimsical indoor spaces create a perfect harmony of masculine strength and feminine grace.
Gina and her team are not just friendly but incredibly helpful. They made the entire preparation process a breeze, and on the wedding day, everything fell seamlessly into place. It was a perfect day, thanks to their exceptional support and attention to detail.

Pure magic.

There are no words to describe the wonder that is Moonstone Manor. No questions, the answer is yes, book your wedding here! The staff is patient and kind, and cares about perfecting your day down to the details. We were looking for elegance that still had a back yard, intimate feel. Moonstone gave us exactly that. It’s enchanting both inside and out. Just gorgeous.

Best Decision you can make!

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding day!!! Gina, Mary and the entire staff at Moonstone Manor have been a pleasure to work with the past two years as we prepared for our wedding day and they remained involved even past the day of. The time and effort they put toward our event is unmatched and if we were to do it all over again we wouldn't hesitate choosing Moonstone manor once again. The grounds of the Manor are kept in pristine condition. The inhouse catering by Food For Thought Catering received rave reviews from all of our guest and as the bride and groom we were beyond satisfied with the quality of the food, everything was delicious and the staff managed to take care of even the finest of details. I urge anyone seeking a venue for any special event; look no further, Moonstone Manor is the place you have been looking for.

Dream Venue with the Best Staff

My wife and I were venue hunting in January 2021 for our June 2022 wedding and our first stop was Moonstone Manor - after taking a tour of the grounds and speaking with Mary, we instantly knew we would be in the hands of a top talent team at a one-of-a-kind venue if we booked the Moonstone. So, we stopped our touring right there and decided on the Moonstone, which was the best wedding decision we could've made! Over the next 1.5 years, we exchanged emails and phone calls with the staff at moonstone to bring our wedding vision to life. The staff at moonstone was always prompt in their replies to our inquiries, and provided detailed and thoughtful suggestions for our big day. Booking at the moonstone will not only provide you with a dream venue, but also the care and advice of true industry professionals that want you and your partner to have the best wedding ever. On our wedding day, the staff at moonstone were so helpful and made sure we didn't have to lift a finger all day - they shuttled around my wife's grandfather in a golf cart, brought my wife and i plates of food while we took photos during the cocktail hour, and took the time to talk with our guests and find additional ways to provide above and beyond service. Additionally, booking the Moonstone will make the lives of your photographer and videographer a piece of cake. the grounds are immaculate and there is no shortage of scenery between the mansion, bell tower, grooms quarter, chapel, gardens, and creek. We couldn't recommend a venue and team more than we recommend the Moonstone Manor for your wedding day. Thank you Gina, Mary, and the entire Moonstone Manor team.

Our Dream Wedding Venue

Moonstone Manor was the venue for our wedding on September 23, 2021. My husband and I fell in love with this venue the first time we toured the property in early 2021. From the Mansion to the Woodland Pavillion and the creek running behind the property, everything was perfect for our dream wedding. The Moonstone Manor Team was extremely helpful from our first tour to the end of our wedding day. They walked with us every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness, knowledge and patience with our hundreds of questions about everything. Our wedding day was perfect and we received a multitude of compliments from guests on what a wonderful venue we chose, and I can’t help but agree 100%! I highly recommend Moonstone Manor as your wedding or event venue!

Everything I've ever dreamed of & more

Moonstone Manor was an immediate yes for both my husband and I when we toured. Our wedding was in July but we toured it covered in snow in January, and we still knew it was perfect. I always knew I wanted an outdoor wedding and the grounds at Moonstone Manor are absolutely breathtaking. Mary and Gina were amazing to work with, they made us feel so important and loved. They were super accommodating, allowing us to take our engagement photos there and when COVID forced us to postpone our ceremony a year they made it so easy. I couldn't count the number of guests who complimented the venue. It was truly a perfect day.
