Total Dream Venue
My husband and I held our reception at Pocono Palms last fall and it was a total dream! Alyssa and Carolyn were so easy to work with. They were helpful, responsive, and so kind from when we first chatted over email through the day of our party, and made sure that our celebration was exactly what we wanted for a memorable night. The outdoor space was perfect for a cocktail hour in early October. Plus, the recommended vendors were fabulous. All our guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was a year later. Thank you for such a special day! It was everything we wanted.

Poconos Palms for the win!
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Pocono Palms made the entire process feel not just manageable, but genuinely enjoyable. From start to finish, Carolyn and Alyssa were attentive, responsive, and thoughtful. They anticipated questions before we even knew to ask them and guided us through each step with clarity and care.
Pocono Palms is beautifully designed in a way that feels intentional yet flexible, allowing our vision while still benefiting from the venue’s character. The outdoor gardens and space allowed for mingling, kids to run and people to connect over lawn games. Indoors, the space allowed for dinner, dancing and pockets of conversation. The upper loft was extra special and was a great place for us to get ready.
The response from our guests said it all. People were completely wowed—by the setting, the flow of the day, and how everything came together. We heard over and over how special, beautiful, and thoughtfully executed the entire experience felt. We are so grateful to Carolyn and Alyssa for their hands-on support, calm expertise, and genuine investment in making our wedding day exceptional. We also appreciated their vendor list and had great experiences with all of them.

Lovely venue!
Alyssa and Carolyn were so sweet to work with! They were on top of answering any and all questions leading up to our day which was so helpful and appreciated! They make a layout for you to see so that you can really envision the set up which is awesome. And even with any mishaps/misunderstandings they rolled with it which kept me from freaking out! They also let us have our dogs come to take pictures which meant the world to us!
Everything was gorgeous the day of, they set up everything so nice and I know there was definitely tons I missed them even doing to help and handle!
These ladies know their venue and how to make it all work for your day! Not to mention the venue itself is beautiful!! I had multiple people tell me how nice and unique this venue was and I couldn't agree more. It was our dream venue and I still can't believe we got to get married here!

Beautiful Venue
I wanted to share my amazing experience at Pocono Palms. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for capturing beautiful wedding pictures. I first saw this venue being created online about 3 years ago, even before I was engaged, and I knew instantly that this was where I wanted to get married. Alyssa, one of the owners, was incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding. The bridal suite was perfectly decorated, and the ceremony and cocktail areas were filled with stunning florals. The venue was absolutely perfect!
