Mount Hope made wedding planning fun

From start to finish, our experience at Mount Hope was nothing short of magical! As huge fans of the PA Ren Faire, choosing this venue was an obvious choice for us, but the entire team, particularly Nicole and Brenna, truly made our wedding dreams come to life.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the team at Mount Hope made it feel effortless. From our very first inquiry to the final goodbyes, their kindness and responsiveness shone through every step of the way. They took our menu requests seriously and helped us create a delicious custom menu, while accommodating the dietary needs of several of our guests. They designed and printed beautiful signage for the day that perfectly captured our theme. They even remembered details that we had mentioned in our meetings, but had forgotten about (naming the signature cocktails after our cats, as an example). And day of, the bartenders, servers, and other Mount Hope employees we encountered were equally kind, easy to talk to, and accommodating.

Even when we had last-minute changes, the team handled it all with grace and enthusiasm. Their ability to adapt and go with the flow made us feel so supported, allowing us to truly enjoy the process. In fact, it was so seamless that we decided to host our rehearsal dinner on-site as well, which turned out to be a fantastic decision.

Our friends and family kept commenting on how relaxed we seemed throughout the planning process, and we owe that peace of mind entirely to the incredible staff at Mount Hope. Thanks to their professionalism and warm-heartedness, we had a beautiful, fun, and unforgettable wedding that exceeded all our expectations.

We can't wait to return to Mount Hope for the Ren Faire year after year, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique, and easy to work with venue!

Beyond Happy

Our wedding at Mount Hope was nothing short of a fairytale! We cannot say enough good things about Brenna and how easy she made the whole process. Our day went smoothly with zero issues. The whole day felt like it just flowed so perfectly. They did an amazing job at helping us capture exactly what we wanted with our classy boho/brewery vibes. We had multiple guests comment on how beautiful our venue was and what a little hidden gem it is! I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a staff that truly cares about capturing your vision for your big day! Thank you so much Nicole and Brenna for an unforgettable wedding day!

Dream Venue!

My husband and I found Mount Hope on WeddingWire, and were ecstatic to find out it was the location of the PA Renaissance Faire that we had attended in previous years. After finding out that our date was available, we both knew that this venue was meant for us.

The staff at MH is simply wonderful. Brenna was with us every step of the way, and went out of her way to make sure our needs and desires were met. We chose to do both our ceremony and reception dinner in the upstairs loft area, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Another thing that sets Mount Hope apart is their onsite catering. We were able to create an entirely custom menu that fit our budget and tastes, and the quality and customization of the food was simply amazing. Not to mention, the liquors, wines, beers, and ciders that are all made on property!

Lastly, the aesthetics of the location are simply gorgeous. The interior of the barn gave the perfect inviting feel we wanted, while the grounds provided amazing and unique photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I cannot sing the praises of Mount Hope loudly enough, our wedding was everything we hoped it could be and more.

The Wolff Wedding

The wedding venue was perfect—beautiful outside ceremony location against the mansion wall. The reception was in a great location as well where people could freely move from the barn to the patio area where there was a cornhole and a fire pit so many options for the guests which we loved about this location. Nicole and Brenna the venue coordinators were very helpful and flexible in helping us plan our wedding how we envisioned it to be.

The days leading up to the wedding were so stress free, I didn't have to worry about a thing because Brenna and Kelly had all the details down. They helped make our day beautiful and for that I can't thank them enough. I would recommend everyone get married here because it was simply amazing!

Mount Hope was the Perfect Venue!

Mount Hope was honestly the perfect venue for our big day. It is the only place we toured and once we saw it both of us were in love and we couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. The venue itself is the perfect mix of a little rustic, a little modern, and all charming. There are so many options for ceremony locations, photo opportunities, and small details that it was hard to choose! The best part of getting married at Mount Hope is how customizable every single part of our day was! From the menu items to linen colors Mount Hope truly wanted to make this day about us and our vision. We had a mashed potato bar, cheesecake, and wings for a late night food! Nicole and Brenna were an absolute dream team and made the planning process so easy, they answered all of my questions in a timely manner and with the utmost professionalism. I am so thankful that we picked Mount Hope for our venue, it allowed us to have our dream wedding!

Very pleasent wedding planning experience.

Right after we toured Mount Hope, we knew that this was the venue where we were going to get married at. Nicole gave us a great tour of the property and made a great overall first impression. Nicole and Brenna were very helpful throughout the wedding planning process and answered any questions that we had very promptly. They were always polite and welcomed our questions. Nicole and Brenna cared that both of us had an amazing wedding day from start to finish and that it ran smoothly. The food was delicious and the house-crafted beverages were very good as well. The menu was very customizable and we got a lot of good reviews from our wedding guests about the food and drinks. The Mount Hope team was very thoughtful, and any bride and groom are going to have an awesome experience with this team. We look forward to visiting Mount Hope for a tasting soon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
