    Outstanding!!!

    Brenna did a fantastic job and helped us through literally every step of the process. The staff is so professional and organized, and the grounds are gorgeous. So many services available from one place made planning so much easier. Couldn’t imagine our day anywhere else.

    Simply Amazing!

    The days leading up to the wedding were so stress free, I didn't have to worry about a thing because Brenna and Kelly had all the details down. They helped make our day beautiful and for that I can't thank them enough. I would recommend everyone get married here because it was simply amazing!

    Very pleasent wedding planning experience.

    Right after we toured Mount Hope, we knew that this was the venue where we were going to get married at. Nicole gave us a great tour of the property and made a great overall first impression. Nicole and Brenna were very helpful throughout the wedding planning process and answered any questions that we had very promptly. They were always polite and welcomed our questions. Nicole and Brenna cared that both of us had an amazing wedding day from start to finish and that it ran smoothly. The food was delicious and the house-crafted beverages were very good as well. The menu was very customizable and we got a lot of good reviews from our wedding guests about the food and drinks. The Mount Hope team was very thoughtful, and any bride and groom are going to have an awesome experience with this team. We look forward to visiting Mount Hope for a tasting soon!

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thanks, Kira, for your kind words! We were thrilled we had the chance to be a part of your wedding day. It was great getting to know you throughout the process and we're so glad everything was memorable for you and your guests! See you at that tasting soon!!

    High Quality and Low Maintenance

    Amazing staff to take care of everything and make the day exactly as you want. Food is amazing. Had to use their beverages- which made it both high quality and easy. The venue is gorgeous- we barely needed any decorations. We felt supported throughout the whole process and through the entire day (and afterward!) 100% recommended.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thank you, Preston! We loved celebrating with you and Andrew! We're so glad it was a good experience for you from start to finish. Our team works hard in the background and we're so lucky to have them. Cheers and thanks for letting us be a part of it all!

    Perfect location

    The event was beautiful and I'm so glad we chose Mount Hope. Everyone kept talking about how beautiful the space was and how unique it was. Everyone loved the food (which was big for us!) and the servers and bartenders were wonderful -- so personable and fun, especially considering they were stuck spending New Year's Eve working. I wish I could do it all over! We would choose Mount Hope again and again.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Nicole - you and Rob were such a blast to work with. So fun, so real, and so genuinely in love! We are so thankful you chose to celebrate with us and we, too, would do it again and again!

    Best Wedding Venue & Team!!!

    Working with the Mount Hope team from the time of our first visit there to our wedding day was amazing! Their support, flexibility, and pure dedication to helping us have the best possible wedding planning/day experience far exceeded our expectations. We fell in love the venue and it was the perfect space for our minimalist, romantic theme!

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Paula! We are lucky to have a great team here...and even more lucky that we get to work with couples like you and Zach. We are so thankful we got to be a part of your love story. Don't be strangers!

    Wedding Experience

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery is an absolutely beautiful venue to host a wedding. Their staff are very professional, personable, and very accommodating to couples needs and wishes. They are knowledgeable and very helpful during the wedding planning process. I got married there on 10/01/2021 in the estate. My vision for my wedding came to life that evening; everything was breathtaking. If I had to do it all again, I would choose Mount Hope Estate & Winery a second time.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    You and Jim were so wonderful and gracious to work with!! We're so glad we got to be a part of your love story. Thanks for trusting us with your big day!

    Brought Our Wedding Dreams to Life

    We selected Mount Hope as the venue for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the decision. From the first meeting to the end of the reception they were an absolute pleasure to work with- super responsive and accommodating in all of our requests, even weird ones like asking them to make oatmeal cream pies for dessert in lieu of a more traditional wedding dessert. They were also super thoughtful in several ways, such as sending the bride a bouquet of flowers 30 days before the wedding as well as making sure we (the bride and groom) had a tray of food and drinks to enjoy from cocktail hour after the ceremony while we were busy taking pictures. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an excellent team to walk you through the whole process!

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kevin! We loved celebrating you and Alex....and making those oatmeal cream pies! Thank you for putting trust in Mount Hope and we're so glad all of the special touches helped make your day special.

    Wonderful wedding venue

    We had a small, intimate microwedding at Mt. Hope's distillery. The venue exceeded all our expectations! The staff was incredibly professional and friendly and Brenna, Nicole, and the staff members made sure all our needs were taken care of prior to and during the event. They responded to all our inquiries in a timely manner and made sure the venue was personalized to our preferences. No wedding horror stories here; the day of, we had absolutely no hiccups! All our guests could not stop raving about the venue and how the setup was perfect for an intimate and happy setting. Thanks so much, Mt. Hope!

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thank you, Alane! MicroWeddings are so special and we're so thankful you trusted us with yours. We wish you and Kevin nothing but the best together!

    Amazing venue with staff that go above and beyond!

    Our experience with Mount Hope Estates and Winery was amazing. From our first contact with Nicole, the Group Sales Manager, to our tour of the venue, we knew this is where we were meant to be married. We had a micro-wedding May 16, 2021, with 24 guests. The ceremony location at the back of the mansion and the reception in the distillery were absolutely beautiful. Also, use of the bridal suite for hair/make-up was so convenient. The photo opportunities on their grounds are stunning! The entire staff went above and beyond to make our day perfect and the attention to detail was impeccable! Nicole also connected us with Doug, who was our Officiant and who was so much fun to work with! Food was amazing and as I have to eat gluten free, the Chef came up with the most delicious alternatives, so I could fully enjoy the food too! Our package included an open bar and if you have never had Mount Hope wines, ciders, mead and spirits, you have to try them! All of our guests raved about every aspect of our wedding. Thank you Nicole and the entire Mount Hope team for making our day more than we could have ever imagined! Stef and Jay

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Stef & Jay,
    We are so thankful you trusted us with your wedding day. MicroWeddings have become such a special part of our offerings and we love the intimate celebrations with those closest to you.
    Thank you for all the kind words!

    The perfect venue and an amazing team

    We booked the Barn at Mount Hope for our wedding in March of 2019. Little did we know it would be rescheduled twice due to Covid-19. Nicole worked with us through everything from start to finish, twice and even sent us small tokens to let us know we weren't forgotten over the two years. We really appreciated her attention to detail and her willingness to help us in this crazy hectic time. Nicole and her team were amazing from 2019 to 2021 and we couldn't have been happier with the event. The wine was delicious and we made new cider fans out of some family members with that amazing blueberry cider. The Barn was a gorgeous venue for the wedding we had and the Renaissance Fair backdrop only added to the feeling. It was a truly magical evening for us.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    And we loved being a part of it all: the planning....the replanning....and more replanning. You both handled the trials of the last year with such grace and we are so thrilled that the celebration was worth the wait! Thank you for placing your trust in Mount Hope.

    Everything I could have asked for!

    My husband and I had a micromony at Mount Hope, it was a small but packed a punch. The time Nicole took to understand what we wanted for our big day made a world of difference. They CARE! From the moment you decide you are interested and want a tour, to picking a menu, to choosing where on the property you want your event, they are on it.
    We're big foodies, so naturally good cuisine was a priority for us. The chef literally made our dream menu and then it was paired delicious beverages. I highly recommend the coconut cream rum!
    Every staff member that was part of our day really went above and beyond.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thank you for trusting us with your wedding day! We had so much fun getting to know you and Roberto....and our chef loved creating custom dishes for your event. Your event was stunning.
    We wish you both the absolute best and hope to see you back at Mount Hope soon!

    Mount Hope Classy Venue

    Mount Hope is an excellent wedding venue! Their staff exceeded expectations in every aspect of the event. The Mount Hope team walked me through the event and had wonderful flexibility and options. If you are looking for a classy event location this winery takes the cake. A big thank you to all the staff members especially Nicole the Group Sales Manager and their star event coordinator Patty. They were imperative to the success of the wedding event. it was better than I could have ever imagined!

    Best wedding spot ever!

    Nicole and the entire team at Mt. Hope Estate and Winery are outstanding! They worked with us over the past year to ensure we had an amazing wedding celebration!

    We were able to have an outdoor wedding that accommodated our guests (in the current pandemic) safely and it was all amazing!

    They also have great culinary team and service staff that went beyond our expectations!

    This is the most beautiful space to have your celebration!

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Thank you, Claudio!! We loved working with you and Cody throughout the craziness of the past year! I'm so glad we were able to keep your event safely on it's original date and celebrate the two of you (even if it took some changes and creativity). Love is certainly not cancelled and we're so thankful you chose Mount Hope. Cheers!!!

    Highly Recommend!!

    This venue is absolutely beautiful inside and out!! It is a such an awesome space. It's close to the Renaissance Faire, but yet far enough away to feel like a separate place. Nicole was awesome and such a pleasure to work with. She was super flexible and helpful and answered all of our questions. She really wanted to make sure our wedding day was perfect and everything we wanted. We got so many compliments from our guests about how awesome and beautiful our venue was and how good the food and drinks were too! Our guests enjoyed our day here just as much as we did. I would highly recommend Mt Hope Estate & Winery to any couple looking for an incredible wedding venue!

    Unique beautiful venue

    I had my wedding here 9/4/2020. They were very professional and flexible. We had to postpone from our original date, 5/29/2020, this process was very smooth and simple. The venue is gorgeous and there are a million unique places to take pictures. We also chose to have Divine Swine cater our wedding, the food was delicious and not you typical boring wedding food. We were also able to select the types of beer, wine, and cider we wanted to have. They made sure all of our favorites were available. Nicole and Michael went above and beyond helping us with anything and everything.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    We loved celebrating you & Steve! Despite the year that 2020 has been, it's moments like finally holding your ceremony (part 2) and reception that bring so much light to everyone involved.
    Thanks for letting Mount Hope be a part of it all!

    Our Dream Wedding!!

    Mt. Hope Winery made our dream wedding come true. Due to COVID 19, at the last minute we had to change our original venue. The Mt. Hope staff were able to fully accommodate and help the transition to their venue. We could not have asked for a nicer staff to help us prepare for our wedding day. We would recommend this venue to anyone for any reason. We are planning on using this venue again for future events.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    We were so glad to be able to be a part of your wedding day, even though it wasn't the original plan! You and Lauren were such a great couple to work with - both so involved in the process - and we cannot wait to host you again! Thanks for trusting Mount Hope in the final hour.

    Exceptional experience

    I got married in July 2020 - peak of Covid-19 pandemic - and asked Mount Hope to help me a host a drive in socially distanced wedding. It was exceptional! The staff is absolutely wonderful and made my family feel so safe and welcomed. The location is absolutely beautiful. They definitely went above and beyond.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    Madeline!!! We loved your creativity and your determination to throw a positive (and safe) event despite what was happening in the world. We were so glad to be able to bring that to life for you and loved celebrating with you!

    Beautiful, relaxed, and perfect for our Halloween wedding!

    Mount Hope was the perfect venue for our Halloween wedding. It was convenient to be able to have the ceremony and reception in one place and there were so many beautiful areas to choose from for both. The staff was great and made planning so easy.

    Mount Hope Estate & Winery's reply:

    We loved celebrating with you and Carlos! The amount of personality you put into all the details of your wedding is sure to make it memorable for all. Thanks again for letting us be a part of your day.

    We were married at their Feasting Glen near the PA Ren Faire. It was absolutely so much fun. The food, entertainment, and music were so wonderful. Our only issue was the amount of bees, but they can't personally control that. The people they sent to help were so polite and very helpful when I accidentally spilled red wine all over the place. (Thank god for a black wedding dress.) The setting was so cozy for the small group we had, and I would do it all again if need be.

    I cannot say enough good things about the beauty of the venue, the helpfulness of the staff and my overall experience. My daughter's bridal shower was the first even at this venue; therefore, I was expecting a few hiccups, but I can honestly tell you there was NONE! Every guest was so impressed with the beauty of the place. I highly recommend this venue to everyone. I was asked to give any constructive criticism and there was none to offer!
