Magical Marriage!

Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens is a magical venue with a supportive and communicative team who will do everything to make your day perfect! As you step foot on the property you are immediately amazed by the meticulous grounds, and then you look up and take in their incredible historical barns that are connected by cozy string lights. You have the opportunity to get married in their beautiful white barn, followed by a cocktail hour in a breath-taking and relaxing oasis of a garden, and then a reception in their larger grand barn with huge open doors that give your guests a unique indoor/outdoor flow. Both barns are open canvases for any decorating style that you could imagine (use Pearls & Petals for the most outstanding flower arrangements - Megan is their daughter!), and the gardens are naturally beautiful. You can incorporate levels of DIY decorating, but they have their own "prop shop" with endless options of decor from how to display flowers during the ceremony, to fabrics and centerpiece features for the reception (their son Matt is constantly creating incredible pieces, and he works carefully with you to bring your look to life!). Even more fun is the extra experiences that you can rent through them, like a photo booth in an old camper, a s'mores station at a fire pit, and a sparkler exit! They think of everything, and they're open to other ideas to make your day just as you dreamed! Their team is a well-oiled machine who walks you through the planning process with detailed email newsletter-like updates with timeline suggestions, while also always being available for questions that they answer quickly and thoroughly. On your day they're prepared for any hiccup, but they'll handle things with grace and ease, to a level that you'll never know if something went wrong for a moment. They have rainy backup plans too, but somehow their grassy cocktail gardens absorb even days of rain prior like you'll never believe. We were able to take in every ounce of their grounds just as we hoped, including first look photos in their special "secret garden" behind beautiful wooden doors, sunset photos on their hillside overlooking everything, a quiet moment on their fun large swing, and then a private last dance while guests gathered for the sparkler exit. Of course the day goes by quickly, but by hosting the whole day with them, and using their decorating services, you get to take it at the perfect pace and you're supported and cared for throughout it all. We can't wait to take every opportunity to return and relish in the memories made there; you're forever family there, and it's felt from the first time you visit!

Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens is a 10/10!!

My husband and I were married here on June 17th. If you are considering booking Stoltzfus for your wedding, you will 100% not regret it. When I tell you everything was absolutely perfect, I mean it. From the day we booked our wedding date, Brian and Dawn (the owners) were so helpful, kind, and welcoming. Guests have been raving about how amazing everything was. The property is beautiful. There are so many little spaces for guests to mingle, play games, and enjoy their time during the reception. If you do choose to go with Stoltzfus, you will enjoy every minute of your wedding day and have absolutely no worries at all. I wish I can go back and relive our perfect day, all because of the amazing staff at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens!!

High Recommend! More than we could have imagined..

Simply incredible experience. Dawn, Brian, and Ginger made us feel like we were a part of their family from the get go. Everything flowed so amazing on the wedding day and the prep beforehand was thorough and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. The property is beautiful and the amount of time they spend on the landscaping and getting the venue ready for the day was more than we could have expected. So many of our guests asked, " where did you guys find this place?! It is beautiful!!" The amount of space and different areas around the property give you so much flexibility for pictures, ceremony, and simply for guests to enjoy throughout your wedding celebrations. We really couldn't have imagined our day to turn out any better and so much credit is due to the Stoltzfus team and Ginger for everything that goes into it behind the scenes and for the way they treated us the entire time. Highly recommend!!!
