About

Since 2017, Twinbrook Retreat, in Gap, Pennsylvania, has been providing not only a wedding venue for couples but also a place to reconnect. The property is owned by Merv and Candance who love to help you use the space in ways that help make your occasion truly special. This is a place for connection and fostering bonds, an ideal atmosphere for couples as they begin their new life together.

Facilities and Capacity

Twinbrook Retreat features a historic barn that has been refurbished with modern comforts. These renovations began after the property owners consulted their faith, a guiding factor in their running of the space. Surrounding the barn is rolling terrain. In addition, streams gently meander through the property, adding to the tranquility and calm of the grounds. It is this ambiance that is infused throughout the location, helping to support the spiritual nature of the place. The barn itself has enough room for between 80 and 100 people. In settings with only chairs, the location can accommodate up to 200. Outside, there is a landscaped area as well as a patio and gazebo, ideal areas for your loved ones to mingle and enjoy the festivities.

Services Offered

Merv and Candace seek to be a supportive presence to couples that choose Twinbrook Retreat. One of Candace’s roles, along with employees Kathryn King and Roxy Zook, is to help coordinate events at the barn. You can rent the barn for more than your ceremony and reception, as the location is also well suited for anniversaries and wedding showers. You may choose from different packages, booking the inside, the outside, or both. Tables and chairs are also provided, as is access to a parking area for guests. Additional items are available for rent, such as centerpieces and technological equipment.

History

The story of this location goes back for hundreds of years. The barn itself was constructed in the 18th century, giving you a storied setting for your vow exchange and celebrations. The property itself was part of a land grant from William Penn, the founder of the state, to his brother. It was purchased by the current owners in 2015 and became a place for events and retreats in 2017.

Everything Was Perfect

I’m so glad we had our wedding at Twin Brook - Sadie and Candance were both so wonderful, personable, and really did an excellent job helping us pull our wedding together in just a little over 4 months! Everyone commented at how much they loved the venue. It was perfect for our wedding of 40, which made it feel very intimate like we wanted. Twin Brook was flexible with us throughout the planning and leading up to the wedding day. We had Sadie do our catering and we’re both so glad we did because the food was incredible and still the best meal I’ve ever had! We even had a few guests comment that it was some of the best Mac and cheese they’ve had :) we had quite a few vegan guests, so we decided to do a mostly vegan spread and it turned out so well.

It snowed heavily on our wedding day in March. We were nervous that the roads wouldn’t be clear enough for guests to make it, but surprisingly everyone was able to make it in town, and most of our guests had about a 2 hour drive to get there, so the road conditions were not an issue. My parents unfortunately couldn’t get back to their Airbnb the night of the wedding because of the roads on that particular street, so Twin Brook was kind enough to accommodate them by allowing them to stay the night in one of the on-site apartments. I am so impressed at how accommodating they were, both to us and to our guests.

All in all, it was the most extraordinary white wedding. I would pick Twin Brook again, and I’m even looking forward to going back and visiting sometime!

Beyond Amazing!

I can’t even describe the level of appreciation and service Candace has given us the past year to help us plan our wedding! This venue is gorgeous and provides AirBNB rooms for your wedding party so everyone can experience a wonderful and connected Wedding Weekend. Could not have asked for a better venue that all the wedding guest can’t stop talking about. Please check them out or just reach out to Candace for any questions, you will not be disappointed!

Could Not Have Had A Better Venue

We had out wedding at Twin Brook on 9/25/21 for about 75 guests. We rented Twin Brook event space and the attached air BnBs Friday-Sunday. Candace frequently checked in on us when we were setting up and was so helpful. She even stopped by Sunday as we were cleaning up and offered a small gift as a token of appreciation for us using Twin Brook for our wedding. All of our vendors and guests commented on how beautiful the venue is. It was so convenient to be able to set up, sleep at the venue and then get ready there in the morning. The whole space is so clean, and the grounds are beautiful. There is very little we had to do to make the space look amazing as it is so naturally beautiful.

Thouthout the whole planning process Candace was great, always offering quick responses. The venue itself is so beautiful and customizable to whatever style you may like. I truly can't say enough good things. If you're thinking about booking Twin Brook don't even hesitate. It is a guarantee for a beautiful wedding!

The Best Place to Have Your Wedding!!!

From the first moment I toured Twin Brook Retreat, I knew it was the place for my husband and I to get married! Candace and her husband have been very responsive, kind, and helpful, going above an beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams.
I stayed with my bridesmaids in the Stone House the night before my wedding, and we loved it! It was so gorgeous, clean, and had the most comfortable beds! The next day, we had our ceremony outside by the brook, under the trees. It was magical. Our reception was a short walk away in the red barn building, decorated so beautifully with place settings, tablecloths, and lovely centerpieces we were able to rent from Twin Brook Retreat. It was so easy to not have to buy all that and bring it myself! There was also a very convenient kitchen area for the vendors easily set up for our dinner!
Candace and her husband maintain the grounds so well, that everywhere on that property was picture perfect, it made it very easy for us to get beautiful wedding photos!
My family constantly raves about how we made the perfect choice in booking Twin Brook Retreat. It was a wonderful experience, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

We are so happy that we found Twin Brook Retreat! Our wedding was perfect and so very beautiful! The venue is beautiful and Candace and Merv were so welcoming and helpful! It was great being able to have the wedding and reception in the same place and the suites were magical. Our entire family enjoyed their stay and we are definitely thinking of visiting in the future to just enjoy a nice and peaceful getaway. We would definitely recommend Twin Brook Retreat!

Perfect Wedding at Twin Brook!

I couldn't have asked for a better place to have my wedding. Candace and Merv were very accommodating. They gave us our space but we're always available for help when we needed. It rained right before our outdoor ceremony but they were there with towels to help us dry off all the chairs so we could get the ceremony started without missing a beat! The venue it's self was very beautiful and quiet. We used both the outdoor and indoor spaces and would recommend it to anyone. I also recommend staying in their beautiful air bnb rooms. It made the weekend so much easier and relaxing being able to say at the venue.

Wedding on June 5th 2021 at Twinbrook!

My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner and wedding at Twinbrook Retreat and it was a DREAM! Candace and Merv are down to earth and go above and beyond with their property. The entire area is absolutely GORGEOUS with many fantastic photo opportunities. I highly recommend for brides to rent The Charming Abode (through AirBnb) as a bridal suite the night before! The suite has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway.
Overall our experience was top notch. The biggest comment we had on our big day was how much everyone loved the venue! Highly highly recommend!

An amazing venue for a wedding!

Had our wedding here in May 2021 because we loved the place and the option to have the events inside or outside. They were so helpful and accommodating! And it was amazing to have the AirBnBs on site and have places to get ready and for kids to play.

An extension of your home...

We liked Twin Brook Retreat so much we not only had our daughters wedding there but her bridal shower as well! The welcoming warm atmosphere is a perfect setting for any event. We felt as if we received an exceptional value and thoroughly enjoyed working with the Twin Brook team. We highly recommend renting the 4 attached beautiful Air BnBs to accommodate your out of town guests. Hands down the best venue to rent for a bridal shower/wedding/reception!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
