About

The Barrel House is a hotel wedding venue located in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Originally a factory from 1910, it has been beautifully repurposed as a fabulous space to enjoy milestone celebrations. It offers couples and guests a wonderful New York-style loft area where new memories can be made to last a lifetime.

Facilities and Capacity

The Barrel House is a multi-level venue that would be ideal for hosting ceremonies, receptions, and lots of other one-of-a-kind events. The first floor upper terrace features an expansive, sheltered open-air space that would be ideal for people to gather. Owing to its 15-foot ceilings and industrial aesthetic, it offers an eye-catching space that is sure to please all sorts of personal preferences. It is also weather-resistant and comes with elegant custom lighting, adding a beautiful glow to many of your happy moments. For the all-important ceremony, The Barrel House offers the lower patio where couples can join hand in hand as they exchange vows and start married life together. The first floor also offers a full-service kitchen, dining area, and lounge. The second floor includes a bridal suite with a king-size bed and a spa bathroom, making it ideal for those pre-ceremony preparations. The loft is found on the third floor. Here, three queen-size beds provide somewhere for select wedding party members to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. What's more, the loft offers somewhere for people to relax and entertain themselves. Overall, The Barrell House can accommodate occasions of approximately 150 people or fewer.

9/30/23 Wedding-Perfect!

My now husband and I hosted our 60-person welcome dinner and wedding at The Barrel House on 9/29 and 9/30. We live in Chicago, so we also booked the AirBnb for Wednesday night and Thursday night outside of the wedding weekend package. It was SO nice to be at the venue beforehand to get settled and throughout the weekend. Our guests loved the space, the drinks and that both parties had inside and outside patio spaces. The bartending staff were very friendly and efficient working behind one bar.

Molly, the venue coordinator, was a DREAM to work with. She made us feel truly special and went above and beyond again (and again!) to make our whole week perfect. We had some hiccups with other vendors and Molly saved the day every single time. The venue and future couples are so lucky to have her on their team! Overall, I would re-book The Barrel House in a heart beat and would 100% utilize their space for other events if I lived in the area.

Great Brewery & Industrial Wedding Venue

Owners are Awesome! The venue is extremely reasonably priced too. There's an area to have an outdoor ceremony, as well as a large indoor reception area. We loved how there was a brewery on site to serve beer at the reception, very unique. The Barrel House itself was beautiful, historic, and very industrial chic. The wedding suite on site is a major bonus. There's a large master bedroom and three additional lofted style bedrooms for a wedding party.

Unique and stunning venue!

Best wedding venue! My husband and I were so pleased to find a place like the Barrel House for our wedding ceremony and reception. A truly one of a kind venue, it felt both intimate and accommodated our larger group easily! Every detail is stunning which not only makes for beautiful photos but also makes your special day that much sweeter. Can I go back?!

Just Wow!!!!

This venue is hands down AMAZING!! We had it for the whole weekend, which made set up easy and everything less stressful!! Everyone that attended our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was and how they would love to live there!! My husband and I loved the look and would love to live there ourselves 😉! And you can get amazing photos done there as well, which my photographer captured many!!! We would definitely consider having other events there and will highly recommend to friends and family!! The owner was amazing to work with as well, quick responses and outgoing personality!

Sweet Sixteen

The barrel house is hands down the best local venue! It's awesome that some venues still allow you to host and cater....rather than the venue making that choice for you. My daughter and her friends had a blast, site is conveniently located, great parking, spacious, sparkling clean and well decorated. Thank you Savannah and Josh

Beautiful but expensive

The Barrel House is absolutely stunning. It could work with any style wedding. There are rooms up stairs for guests if you get for the weekend which was the added bonus as we had family from out of the area. There isn't tons of space to set up a wedding so if you have more than 40-50 wedding guests I don't recommend you use this. Beautiful venue and couldn't have been happier.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
