From start to finish, our experience with Historic Ashland was absolutely incredible. Leah and Amanda held my hand through the entire process and offered so much sage advice. They were forth coming about what "needs to be" and what "doesn't need to be" for our reception which gave me so much peace and frankly less work to do! They helped me find all of my other vendors as well. Our day at Ashland was smooth and everything we imagined it to be. -

The moment we drove up to Historic Ashland, we knew it was the venue for us! Not only is the property beautiful, but having the entire space to ourselves on the wedding day was a huge plus. One thing that was very important to us was having nice areas for both wedding parties to get ready. It was crucial that my husband had a space to enjoy on the wedding day, and the groom's cottage provided just that! For the bridal party, the main house is absolutely perfect. The rooms are stunning, the lighting is perfect, and the attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed, making me feel comfortable and at ease the entire morning.
From the moment we met Leah, the owner, we could feel her passion and true love for her venue and for every couple that walked through the doors. She makes you feel comfortable and like a true friend from the second you meet her. The team she built at Historic Ashland is incredible, and I felt confident that everything would run smoothly. Leading up to the wedding day, I knew any question I had would be answered by Leah or our coordinator, Amanda. I also loved being in a private Facebook group for current and previous Historic Ashland couples. I learned so many tips and advice there, from which hotel to use to where to go for our rehearsal dinner and what vendors to pick.
Our wedding day went so smoothly and was the best day, thanks to the amazing team and community that Leah created. We wish we could do it all over again! -

The perfect wedding venue & wedding team!
Historic Ashland is the perfect wedding venue that’s truly beautiful throughout! From the first time we met with Leah, she went above and beyond to help us have the perfect wedding day. Leah and Kirsten happily answered all of our questions and worked so hard to make sure eveything was perfect. They gave recommendations on vendors, planned our timeline, decorated the space for us, and even made sure a tree that feel down the night before our wedding was cleared in time for us to get amazing photos! They far exceeded our expectations in every possible way! Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy our day with our family and friends without any stress because we knew we could trust them to make sure it came together beautifully. -

Historic Ashland is an absolutely incredible venue. We knew from the second we pulled in that this was the venue for us. Ashland is so so beautiful, and they really pay attention to every last detail. The ladies at Ashland are fantastic and made our wedding day PERFECT. They really take charge of the day so you can really enjoy it because it really does go so fast. Finally, you will NOT find a better bridal suite! Ashland’s bridal suite is top tier. I would 1000% recommend Ashland! 🫶🏼 -

When we first saw Historic Ashland, our breath was taken away. It is a picturesque farmhouse, barn, and cottage tucked into a tranquil setting. The staff executes a smooth event without disturbing the couple. Leah and Amanda are professional, kind, and creative. I could not have asked for more. That day will be fixed in our memories forever. -

Everything you could want and more
My Husband and I got married at Historic Ashland on 4/16/23. I can not recommend this venue enough! This venue was a top contender right from the very start. They had several different packages that appealed to us as we were not sure how big of a wedding we were going to have initially. Right off the bat they were quick to follow-up with our inquiry and answer any questions that we had. Once you see this venue in person you realize how incredible and versatile it is and left no room for doubt.
For the staff: Leah is extremely attentive and personable to work with. You can tell that this venue is her baby and invests all the love and care that is evident through out the entire grounds and all the details. She is an incredible resource and I would also recommend reaching out early after you have booked this venue as she has great insights on the different vendors you can use to stay within your budget. It is one area I wish I utilized earlier on in the process.
Amanda was our Day of Coordinator and was incredible from preplanning, rehearsal and day of the wedding. She had everything and anything on hand that you would need. I have no idea if anything didn't go according to plan because she handled things effortlessly and from our perspective it was the perfect day with no hiccups. We actually were ahead of schedule all day which made for a very relaxed bride, groom and wedding party. We never felt rushed which I think really helped us soak in the whole day to its fullest.
Additionally, Leah and Amanda invited us to their private facebook group for couples getting married that which is a valuable resource on your own. They post updates regularly in there and you are able to connect and ask questions of other brides and grooms who are getting married or were married at HA.
For the venue: The mansion to get ready was amazing; very spacious, filled with light, convenient for our hair and make-up vendors and was a beautiful back drop for photos. The cottage which my husband and his groomsman/family used to get ready was the perfect size. They played darts, had a couple of pre-ceremony drinks and relaxed comfortably.
There are so many ceremony sites and back-up options to cater to your wedding vision. We had our April/Spring ceremony outdoors under the trees and pergola, had cocktail hour outside on the patio and lower lodge and then the reception upstairs in the lodge. Each location had their own feel and vibe that flowed effortlessly. It also was so convenient to have all 3 events in the same location.
Leah, Amanda and the whole Historic Ashland Staff really make you feel like family throughout the entire process and after. Following the day, I forgot my customized hanger that Leah so kindly found and mailed back along with a small gift that my husband and I both cherish and wear. You can not go wrong with Historic Ashland and if you choose them you will be forever grateful and happy that you did. Thank you!! -

Can’t say enough about how amazing this venue is! From our initial tour with Leah we felt like family. Her and her staff are absolute rockstars! Any question we had they were quick to answer and help. On top of themselves they have a FB group to connect with other Ashland couples and get information, answers, etc. Our wedding day went so smooth! Amanda, our Ashland coordinator, handled everything which took the stress off of us and everything looked beautiful! We’re still getting compliments about our venue from family and friends.
To say Leah and her team are good at what they do is a definite understatement! There’s so many great things to say, it’s hard to put it into words.
We are so glad to be a part of the Ashland family!! -

Aaron and I got married at Historic Ashland on 11/12/22. When we originally toured in June of 2021, we knew right away that this was the place for us. Leah was so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable right from our first conversation. She really made us feel like she would make sure we had an incredible day. Throughout the wedding planning process, Leah and her team were always available to answer questions in a reasonable amount of time. The couples only Facebook group was really beneficial for connecting with other couples, asking questions, and getting ideas. Leah and Amanda were so helpful with checking in throughout the planning process and reminding us of important dates. They have an incredible list of vendor recommendations which is where we found most of our vendors who were all also amazing. We felt so at ease and ready to go by the time of our final walkthrough in October 2022. Our wedding day was truly flawless. Leah and Amanda made sure things were set up how we wanted and that everything was running smoothly and on time. They helped communicate with vendors throughout the day to ensure everyone knew where they needed to be. The venue itself is absolute perfection. We knew we wanted a location where there was a groom getting ready space, bride getting ready space, beautiful indoor ceremony option, and a reception area that was different from the ceremony area. Historic Ashland has all of that! We loved the two separate getting ready houses along with the separate lodge with spaces for the ceremony and reception. Our guests were so surprised when they walked up the stairs to the reception on the second level. While we chose to have our ceremony indoors in front of the downstairs fireplace, there are several outdoor options as well. We were so lucky that we had a 70 degree sunny November day and were able to utilize the outdoor patio space for our cocktail hour. The amount of locations around the property for taking photos is phenomenal as well. It was an incredible day that I would do it a thousand times over! If you are in search of a venue, contact Historic Ashland right now!

My husband and I got married at Historic Ashland on November 4, 2022! From the night we toured the venue more than a year prior to our wedding, we knew that Ashland was the perfect place for our wedding! The entire property, both inside and out, is gorgeous and spacious while still feeling intimate and comfortable. We also loved that everything from getting ready, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception can be done in one place!
Leah and Amanda are nothing short of amazing and they made the wedding planning process easy and stress free! Whenever we had questions or were looking for suggestions, they were always happy to help! Their organization, transparency, frequent communication with vendors, and overall calm demeanor gave us the reassurance we needed that our wedding day would be perfect and it allowed my husband and I to enjoy every moment of our special day! Booking
Historic Ashland for our fall wedding was one of the best choices we have ever made! -

Best day of my life
Leah, Kirsten & the HA team made my day perfect.
From the planning before the wedding, to the actual day we are speechless. Any question we had the girls were ready to answer promptly! They do not waste time at all. These girls really do want the best wedding you could dream of and do not take that lightly. From the moment we met Leah for our tour we knew that HA was where we wanted to get married. I have been looking at this venue since April of 2021 and kept it my dream; September 3, 2022 was the best day of my life thanks to this staff.
The venue is beautiful, from the old barn look, to the modern inside with high ceilings. It is even more beautiful in person than the pictures can even describe. The HA Team really went above and beyond my expectations of a wedding staff. It is now hard to attend other weddings and not compare to the amount of work, effort and passion this team has for the clients they receive. They even picked up my chic fil a order for our late night snack- I couldn’t believe it. My husband & I now reminisce how wonderful our wedding day was and wish we could go back and do it again.
I can tell you that Historic Ashland not only gave me the wedding of my dreams but also gave me the biggest hype women ever (Leah)! I can not say enough great things about this place. -

Dream Venue!
From our tour day to our wedding day the team at Historic Ashland went above and beyond any expectations we had! Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, but it offers so much more. Between the separate luxury accommodations for the bridal parties, natural beauty, and never ending photo ops, we loved all of the options it created for our wedding day.
Leah was equally amazing. She gave us fantastic local recommendations and saved us so many trips and hours commuting from out of state with all of her honest and thoughtful tips.
The team at Historic Ashland is nothing short of incredible. Between their professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail, our wedding day went off without a hitch (even with the torrential rain an hour before our ceremony).
Although our wedding season came and went in the blink of an eye we could not imagine going through this wonderful experience without our HA family- We are so grateful that Ashland is a chapter in our story! -

WOW do my husband & I (as well as my family & friends) have nothing but positive & amazing things to say about Historic Ashland! After having to switch our wedding venue 3 months before our wedding due to having issues with our original venue, our families found this hidden gem of a wedding venue and quickly scheduled a site tour and within a few days, booked it for our wedding day in May of 2022. We were immediately welcomed with excitement, joy, and transparency by Leah and her team which was such a breath of fresh air & stress-relieving experience that allowed us to both slow down and actually enjoy our marriage & wedding planning process.
From the moment we booked to even now, Leah and her team have treated us with such kindness and have consistently made us feel like we were not just another client. They are advocates and supporters for their couples which is truly special! As an indecisive bride, Leah and her team helped me think through and gave me professional insight into every part of the wedding including vendors, timeline, decor, etc. They handled everything from communicating with all of our vendors, creating the timeline & layout of the day, assisting with the rehearsal, helping the day run smoothly, setting up and cleaning up wedding decor, and beyond. They hold open houses for the couples, run a Facebook page for Historic Ashland couples, are prompt to answer emails, provided various signage decor and other rental options for couples, hold a final planning meeting, and so much more. In addition to all of this, there was a lot during my wedding day that happened behind the scenes that I didn't even know about & that was handled by them in communication with my Maid of Honor and family rather than me. They were not afraid to be an advocate and speak up for me when our photographer & videographer were stressing me out on the morning of our wedding. All of our family and friends were blown away by the beauty of the wedding venue, but were even more impressed by the welcoming and accommodating employees of the venue.
As far as the venue goes, it is worth every dollar that you spend and they are constantly making improvements (even though the venue is already amazing)! With a mansion & cottage for the couple and their wedding parties to get ready in and relax, multiple indoor/outdoor ceremony/cocktail hour/reception venues, planning portals, and beyond, it is a venue that can match various couples' wedding styles & visions. We are so grateful that we were able to get married at Historic Ashland and would recommend it to anyone and everyone we know! There is certainly a reason that they have won "Best Wedding Venue" multiple times! Do not hesitate to visit and book Historic Ashland for your wedding as they are exceptional at what they do, plus the story behind the creation of Historic Ashland (a women-owned business) is freaking awesome and inspiring! -

Definition of Perfection!
Leah, Amanda, and the HA team were fabulous to work with. Leah and Amanda were both professional, warm, and approachable. I felt like I had 2 additional girlfriends on the day of. They made every decision of the day easy. The weather was looking uncertain on the day and both Lead and Amanda gave their professional opinion, while allowing me the space to make my own. Throughout the entire planning process, they were both easily reachable and supportive. I also LOVED their social media presence. It makes you feel so special while you wait for your own day to celebrate. My friends and family also raved about their interactions with the HA team. Leah went as far as filming/taking pictures of set up so I would have extra memories for the very next day. Amanda was wonderful and made my set up and decor look 10x better then I imagined. At the end of the night, Leah was super helpful in assisting my mom and sister get things loaded into their car. Overall, they went above and beyond for our wedding. I appreciated their genuineness throughout the entire process. Do not second guess, book HA! You are getting a beautiful venue and amazing team of GIRL BOSSES!

Historic Ashland was wonderful!! Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous, the owner and the staff were so great. We were looking for a lodge-like venue which we struggled with in Maryland. We had no issue traveling to PA so they could host our special day. The staff really took care of everything the day of so we could relax and have a blast. They were so accommodating. Amanda (the day of coordinator that comes with the venue) kept things in motion and was such a pleasure to work with. The venue is also on such a beautiful property and our pictures are gorgeous. Highly recommend!!! -

Caitlin P. Sent on 11/13/2021I can't tell you how great this place is...
We started our wedding planning process immediately after becoming engaged. We looked at over 10 venues before we toured Historic Ashland. Upon arriving at the venue, I immediately knew this was where I wanted to get married. The landscaping and buildings are in immaculate condition. The bridal suite and groom’s quarters are breathtaking, and they are decorated tastefully. The outdoor and indoor venue space is not comparable to other venues.
After touring the venue space, we met with Leah, and I immediately felt a sense of relief. Leah is knowledgeable, professional, and honest. We decided, almost instantly, to book the venue for our micro-wedding.
Over the course of the year of planning, Leah was very communicative. The platform she uses to communicate with clients and vendors is user friendly, a great way to stay organized, and helps with scheduling and organizing day-of events.
As the big day approached, our location for the dinner changed due to weather. Leah was responsive and proactive and assured me that everything would be great.
On the day of, Amanda, the wedding coordinator (best investment for our micro-wedding) took the reins for décor and styling, and she blew it out of the water. The space was completely transformed and absolutely awe-inspiring.
I cannot say enough about Leah and Amanda. They are incredible women that are extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and trustworthy.
These women are top-notch. Stop your venue search now. Just book Historic Ashland!!!!!
