About

Your destination for an affordable barn/farm wedding that requires no compromise! Nestled on a historic farmstead in Carlisle, PA, Three Gables Barn offers country elegance and rustic charm for your wedding day celebrations. Views of surrounding pastures and Blue Mountain abound as you exchange your vows beneath old-growth trees at the heart of the farm. The Mountain View Patio and pavilion is available for your guests to enjoy an elegant cocktail reception or a round of traditional outside games while the wedding party takes advantage of the many pastoral photographic opportunities that the farmstead provides.

Then it is off to the 225 year old limestone barn for your reception. A historic and grandiose space featuring original hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, massive limestone walls and cedar shake roof combined with attractive chandeliers and market lighting, and a rustic bar built from reclaimed timbers. Three elegantly appointed modern bathrooms, a catering prep area, heating system and cooling fans add to your convenience. Why sacrifice comfort to enjoy such a stunning backdrop on your Wedding Day.

Three Gables Barn can accommodate up to 170 and 205 guests depending on final arrangement. Wedding couples will enjoy exclusive use of the property on their contracted date. The Wedding Package includes an extensive collection of tables and chairs for both the ceremony and main reception in addition to over-sized umbrellas and decorative pieces, which are perfect for adding a unique touch to your event. Charming suites are provided in one of the historic buildings on the farmstead for both the Bride and Groom's parties to change and prepare for the “Big Day” ahead. We provide a foul weather back-up contingency for a ceremony in the barn in the event of bad weather.

Truly the best day of our lives!

We could not be more happier with how our wedding turned out, it was truly the best day of our lives! Three Gables Barn is a beautiful venue with very kind owners. We still have guests calling to tell us that was the best wedding they have ever attended! This venue is very affordable and we were able to have our rehearsal dinner there due to our large wedding party. You will fall in love with this barn once you see it! I highly recommend this venue, you will not regret it!

Beautiful venue, beautiful ceremony

Ted was beyond fantastic, and gently used his expertise and experience to guide us through the floor plan for the reception. We were able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony and the landscaping is pristine. Our guests were highly complimentary of the venue and thought it was beautiful. We had a beautiful day in a gorgeous location

Amazing venue!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Ted at Three Gables Barn! The grounds are absolutely STUNNING. There isn't a single place on the property that isn't perfect for pictures and to serve as a gorgeous backdrop no matter where you are. Ted is extremely kind, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything with the space suits your event reasonably and communicates so well throughout the process. The pricing was VERY reasonable and allowed for us to do more for our guests because we didn't get raked over the a la carte charges other venues get you on. I don't have a single negative thing to say about our entire experience, and I would highly recommend Three Gables Barn for ANYONE. A little note- the barn does not have AC, however, even on our 90+ degree wedding day it wasn't miserable- the fans provided awesome airflow and we were able to party from 3pm-11pm perfectly comfortably. Thank you, Ted, for all your hard work! Our day was incredible!

Amazing experience!

If I could give this venue and the owners 10 stars, I would. We approached Ted after our venue cancelled on us less than a week before our wedding. My mother had made some calls, and miraculously, Ted's venue was available that weekend. He was so kind, flexible, and helpful. The price for the venue is quite reasonable as well. We toured his venue on Monday, had a planning meeting on Tuesday, and held our wedding celebration on Saturday. We could tell that in just a few short days, Ted and his wife really put in the work to finish up the landscaping I'm certain they anticipated having weeks to complete. Although my dream wedding didn't quite include a barn, I have to admit the space was wonderful! It is so well kept and the dark wood is lovely. We used navy linens, and with the gold chairs it really elevated the space. I liked that the bar and food area were in a separate space from the rest of the reception without being too far away or hard to find. The ready-rooms were so cute! Who would have thought a remodeled chicken coop could look so good?!? The cocktail hour area is so charming as well. Ted was on site the day of the event for emergencies and worked incredibly well alongside our day of coordinator. I can't say thank you enough to Ted for helping us pull this together, and I would highly, highly recommend this venue to all couples in the area.

Saved our wedding

Our wedding couldn't have happened without Three Gable Barn. 5 days before the day of our wedding, the venue we had originally booked cancelled on us. We made many phone calls, which led us to the Three Gables Barn. Not only were they able to see us that same day for a venue walk, but they worked overtime to get the venue ready in time for our wedding because they hadn't originally planned to have any weddings so soon. They made arrangements to have us view the venue, have a planning consultation, and give us time at the venue for a rehearsal all within the span of a few days. They saved our day, and were wonderful to work with during the whole process. I would absolutely 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a venue in this area, we couldn't have done it without them!

Beautiful Venue & Amazing Owners

We dreamed of a Sunday brunch wedding and that severely limited the venues we could choose from because not everyone could accommodate that dream. Ted and Chutima Canaday, however were very accommodating to make our dreams come to fruition. Ted was very responsive prior to our wedding to ensure he understood and would set up everything we needed prior to our wedding day. He thought of things we didn't even think of and offered suggestions from previous weddings to make our dream wedding happen. We wanted tables outside for the cocktail hour and Ted made the vision happen. He was then so helpful the day of. It rained all morning and Ted and his wife were there to ensure we could decorate all of the spaces and the seats were dried off prior to the ceremony so our guests did not sit on wet seats. It was an such an amazing day thanks to Three Gables Barn. I would definitely recommend this venue!

Three Gables: Old World Charm That's Out of this World!

I found Three Gables Barn a year and a half before our wedding date and fell in love with the venue even when the photos were stripped bare (new vendor). I loved that I could make it my own from a blank Canvas. I reached out to Ted (owner) days after my engagement and he was willing to allow us to tour within days of our request. He was super responsive throughout the whole process and extremely accommodating with all of our requests. The venue and all the amenities were super affordable and his contract was reasonable and easy to follow. I must say that Ted was very flexible and went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our wedding went without a hitch. He was there for the whole process of transforming his venue into an old-world Celtic experience. I felt transported in time. By the end of all our planning and his easy-going nature, I felt like I became a friend to him as he made us so comfortable. He was generous, kind, and positive with my family and I was so happy to share a hug with him on my wedding day. He was walking around and assisting with a big smile on his face. I would go back to him in a heartbeat for other event planning and would highly recommend him to anyone that was looking. I know that during this whole process, I've been telling everyone about Three Gables Barn and constantly am sharing the link to them and telling my friends to consider him! What an outstanding experience! Thank you, Three Gables Barn, for my best day ever!

Perfect Option

I didn’t actually use this vendor only because it was too far for my family to drive. But Ted was so kind. He called around to find a local kitchen that I could rent for my caterer. He worked with me and all of my difficulties and cancellations. I am so deeply sad that I couldn’t use him. He is the best! The most beautiful venue. I saw so so many and this is the one I keep coming back to. Definitely recommend for a rustic barn wedding! Very affordable as well!

Beautiful venue

Ted with Three Gables Barn helped us organize our wedding during the pandemic, and we are so thankful for his responsiveness and flexibility in the middle of constant restriction changes! He was always available whenever we had questions and gave us plenty of different options on how to use the venue space. The venue itself is beautiful. We had an outside ceremony that looked out onto the fields, and the reception was held in the renovated barn, with beautiful restored wood and antique decor. The bar area was so unique and we loved the old books and intimate setting. It was the perfect rustic barn wedding space!
