About this venue

Wind in the Willows is a wedding and event venue in Grantville, Pennsylvania. Located in the heart of central Pennsylvania on a 15-acre farm, this beautiful venue sits at the base of Blue Mountain and offers stunning views, including a three acre lake on the property.

Facilities and Capacity

Wind in the Willows is a space of country charm and modern elegance. The stone barn is heated and air conditioned to allow for use year-round, and provides beautiful views of the well-maintained grounds. The property also has a cottage and bridal suite for the wedding party to prepare before the wedding day begins. The gorgeous outdoor scenery provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. Indoor ceremonies can be held at the Wedding Chapel, a mid 19th century church - renovated and temperature controlled. The chapel is also available for receptions.

Services Offered

Everything we do at Wind in the Willows revolves around our three core values, which guide and direct everything we do:

1. Value - Our goal is to provide our couples with as much as we possibly can in one place and with one price. We don't want our clients to feel nickle and dimed at every step in the process. Everything we offer at the venue (tables, chairs, barrels, arbors, decorations, etc.) is included with our base package pricing.

2. Flexibility - Weddings at Wind in the Willows are not cookie cutter. Each of our couples brings with them a unique vision for their wedding. We want to embrace and support that vision and help our couples see it come to life. We also want to make sure our couples have flexibility in the vendors they choose. We do not have exclusive vendors, so our couples are free to choose vendors that fit their style and budget. Ultimately, we know that the best way for our couples to realize their dream wedding and still stay within budget is to have the flexibility to be in control of their own destiny.

3. Family - Wind in the Willows has always been a family owned business. We want our couples and their guests to feel that when they walk through our doors. Our couples are treated as family, not transactions. It is our deep belief that creating and cultivating a family atmosphere plays a huge role in how our couples experience their special day here.

Charmed by Wind in the Willows

This venue was very reasonably priced with an added feature, a big shed full of decorations, at no extra cost!! The decoration selection was a great money saver for people on a tighter budget, or just not crafty like me! The owners/staff were great to work with and made things run smoothly. Highly recommend this quaint venue.

Wind in the Willows

We absolutely loved Wind in the Willows! The venue is gorgeous and Aaron and Andrea are wonderful to work with. It’s also very affordable compared to other venues in the area. We were especially drawn to the scenic surroundings—the well-maintained grass and landscaping were beautiful, and the pond added the perfect touch. The dockside and willow trees were exactly what we fell in love with.

We used the barn for our reception, and it was perfect. It’s stunning both inside and out, and the existing decor meant we didn’t have to add much. We wanted to keep it simple and maintain the rustic barn look. We also appreciated the option to use their shed of decor—it saved us money and made decorating easy! Aaron is incredibly responsive to emails and was always helpful throughout the process.

One of our favorite features was the opportunity to use their vintage truck for our ride down to the aisle and for photos—it was such a fun touch! We also loved that we could choose our own vendors, with a helpful list provided on their website. The website itself is easy to navigate, and we appreciated that the venue is located near several hotels, giving guests plenty of options. Lastly, the wedding planner they send to be filled out is a fantastic tool for staying organized.

Amazing!

Aaron & Andrea and their team were absolutely amazing! Their communication through the process were amazing and they were always there to answer our questions and help us with anything we needed! The amount of work they put in to keep that venue looking absolutely amazing is unmatched!! We received several upon several comments about how gorgeous the venue was and absolutely loved the barn! And it was even more amazing to be able to use the red truck in our wedding day, which we also received many comments about how awesome that was! Love this venue and their team!!!

Best venue hands down

Where to even begin. WITWs made our dream wedding a reality. The venue space is beautiful and just gets better as the sun goes down. During the wedding planning process we had a specific vision in mind of how we wanted our big day to look like and WITWs checked every box. Aaron & Andrea were a blessing to work with. Always there to answer questions leading up to the big day. Lisa the host coordinator was great as well. She assisted us with pulling decorations from the decoration shed and making sure all the chairs, tables & arbor were decorated just the way we envisioned. She even chased away some bees (lol) WITWs is always improving the grounds. Since we booked two years ago they have built a speakeasy for the guys to get ready in and upgraded the landscaping with accent lighting and a fountain. They also have extras you can add on to your day. We opted to rent the old truck for our bridal party. You can also rent the chapel. They also have multiple ceremony spaces on the grounds. We were married by the water feature down by the pond.
If you are looking for a venue with upscale rustic beauty look no further. WITWs is your venue!!

The one and only place to get married.

Wind in the Willows was the only place for us to be married. Aaron and Andrea make you feel like you are a friend and everything they offer at their venue is a plus. They have a decor shed to borrow from, they have different places to hold your ceremony (even a chapel you can rent), allow you to hold your rehearsal dinner there and are always a text or email away. The barn is temperature controlled so it is perfect for any time of year. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish

We searched high and low for the perfect venue for our day and finally stumbled upon Wind In the Willows. The price point was perfect, and we loved that it also included a lot of decor that fit the setting perfectly! Aaron and Andrea are both so welcoming and kind, they are super responsive to any questions that you might have, and they make everything about planning your special day feel easy. We have received never-ending compliments about how beautiful, fun and unique our wedding was, and we attribute it all to Wind In the Willows. We could not have picked a better venue for our day!

The Perfect Venue

I have always dreamed of a laid back wedding with plenty of outdoor space and a beautiful barn-style indoor space. When I stepped foot in the Wind in the Willows barn, I knew this was it. Aaron and Andrea were so pleasant, helpful, and organized. They helped us through every step of the way. I truly appreciated that they had options to use some decor from their stock and did so much to help our day be perfect. We brought cornhole, giant jenga, and (plastic) axe throwing to be set up on the grounds. It was the best day ever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
