YOUR WONDERLAND IN THE MAKING

Imagine the day you’ve dreamed of since you were young—that perfect day you pledge and celebrate your love surrounded by friends and family in the grandeur and sophistication of a setting like no other—your very own Wonderland.

Your Wonderland awaits at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion, the 1891 Victorian Mansion venue that is redefining the wedding world in South Central Pennsylvania. Seated on 22 lush acres of manicured and native gardens, Ashcombe Mansion is undergoing the restoration of a lifetime to make your once-in-a-lifetime event out of this world. Every detail you’ve dreamed of for your wedding day is coming to life—from elegant old stone facades to the warmth and prestige of original millwork, to winding Victorian-era staircases and stained glass windows, to meticulously restored Victorian mansion appointments and aesthetically coordinated modern amenities and conveniences.

Our Grand Sperry Reception Tent is available from Late April through Late November each year and holds up to 250 guests comfortably. In our off-season months, intimate or micro weddings may be held for up to 40 guests for a seated meal. We can accommodate up to 80 for a ceremony followed by a cocktail-style reception.

We offer 5 luxurious overnight suites that can be included in your venue package if you choose to spend the night or the weekend. Venue packages are customized based on the client's needs. Bring everything the day before your wedding, hold your rehearsal dinner right here on site, go to bed that night and wake up relaxed and ready to start hair and makeup!

Included in all venue packages are our two separate spacious primping and grooming suites. You and your wedding party can spend the day getting ready in style. The Fridges are stocked with bottled water and coffee makers are on each floor for your convenience.

We have multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony options for up to 250 so worrying about the rain is never an issue in Wonderland.

Phenominal!

My husband and I got married in October at this venue and it was an absolute dream! We toured a few venues in the area first then toured Ashcombe. After we toured the venue we immediately booked! The venue is absolutely spectacular and unlike anything we have ever seen before. The rooms are unbelievable with attention paid to every single detail. Our partys got ready inside the upper two levels of mansions, we got married outside, cocktail hour was in the chandelier room and the reception was in the fully climate-controlled "tent". I can't choose a favorite area because each had its own charm. Not only is the venue itself beautiful, but the staff is also wonderful as well! Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and most importantly experts in what they do. It's truly a place you have to see to believe. If you are looking for a venue that will leave you and all of your guests in awe this is it! :)

What a great time and Venue

Absolutely stunning Venue, one from the minute we walked in the door it was the one for us. The staff that helped us (Allison and Chloe) were beyond helpful. The professionalism, knowledge, and overall personality of these two took a ton of pressure off us and we were able to get everything we wanted for our big day. Food was also top notch, absolutely no complaints. Thank you

The best venue around!

My husband and I looked for months to find the perfect venue and when we saw the Willows for the first time we knew it was the one. From the beautiful mansion to the unique tent there was nothing like it.

We booked almost 2 years prior to our day but The Willows was there along the way to answer all my questions & help me plan the perfect event. They were flexible and helped make sure I got everything I was hoping about my day. On the day, they were the BEST team, bless to have been able to work with them.

This is the a top notch venue and there’s nothing like it I highly recommend you have your day here!

Could Not Recommend a Venue More

Could not recommend a venue more. Our October wedding at the Ashcombe was nothing short of perfection! The mansion itself is a piece of art and the staff are so accommodating. We got SO MANY compliments from our guests about how unique and gorgeous the space was. So grateful we were able to host our special day at the Willows.

Nothing short of a dream come true!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having our fairytale wedding dreams come true at the Willows. We knew from the very first tour that this was the venue meant for us! It is immediately obvious that every tiny detail is well thought out and absolutely stunning. As if that isn’t enough, the staff clearly has a passion for what they do and were nothing short of incredible every step of the way. We never once doubted our decision and our guests are still daydreaming about our special day. Thank you a million times over to all of those involved in making our wedding day everything we’d hoped it would be and more!

A true magical wonderland

I did not want to have a wedding until we visited The Willows at Ashcombe. I was blown away by the venue. There isn’t a single detail missing. Everything is so beautiful, classy, and has so much thought and care behind it. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well because one day at the mansion wasn’t enough for me! We live within ten minutes from the mansion, and we ended up renting it for the entire weekend to make the most of it. Our wedding party stayed there with us and commented that it was a nicer stay than any hotel/resort they have been to. On top of all that, the staff there is unbelievable. They clearly know their field and they pulled off our wedding weekend with ease and perfection. They were so attentive and didn’t miss a single thing. I had absolutely zero worries or problems during the weekend due to their care. My family and guests still know them and mention them by name. They left such an impression. This venue is worth your money and your memories. It’s literal magic! I even have friends from the wedding booking other events there so they can go back and enjoy it! I can’t say enough wonderful things about the venue and staff!

Exquisite and Unmatched

You know that sensation you got when you realized he/she/they were the one? Well you'll get that same feeling when you step foot in this venue. Anyone can see its polished style and inviting grounds as they come upon The Willows, but only those of us who tour inside will experience the awe of impeccable design in every single corner of this home. From the restored original wallpaper paintings to the faucets, there's nothing that hasn't been considered.
Abby from The JDK Group answered every single question I had (and there were many), with professionalism and a smile! I offered ideas of what I would like and the JDK team produced an experience beyond what I could have dreamed. No one could have provided us with a better version of our big day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Magical Experience

We had a wonderful experience with Deb, the owner, Mark, and the entire team at Ashcombe. This venue was still undergoing renovations leading up to our micro-wedding (we were the third wedding to be hosted by Ashcombe I believe) but we appreciated the communication throughout. They were very accommodating wherever possible. Our vendors enjoyed the experience as well. We especially appreciated the kindness shown to our out of town guests who stayed overnight. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about the gentlemen as well as the luxurious accommodations. The venue is/was gorgeous and looked amazing for our reception AND was the perfect backdrop for our engagement photos. We plan to use Ashcombe for future events. Thank you for the magical experience!

Luxury Wedding Venue

We have been blessed to have known The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion before it was even completed, and it has been the most beautiful journey from conception to execution. From the gorgeous wallpapers, beautiful chandeliers, and painted ceilings, it is the singular most beautiful location to get married in central Pennsylvania. Deb, the owner, was so kind and gracious throughout the process- dealing with my nerves of the location not being finished on time, but as promised, it was finished in a way that was better than I could have even dreamed. Mark, Ryan, Erika, and the rest of the Ashcombe team made sure we never had to lift a finger throughout the weekend. They were so sweet, constantly checking in to make sure we had all that we could ever ask for. From the bottom of our hearts, we could never even describe our gratitude for the absolute perfection of the celebrations of our wedding weekend. I felt like a queen in the most luxurious mansion.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
