We absolutely loved everything about our experience with this venue!
We absolutely loved everything about our experience with The Harper Event Venue! Everybody that we worked with was so thorough and helpful when it came to making our dream wedding come to life. My husband and I are so thankful for this venue and that it helped us have the wedding of our dreams! We highly recommend the additional services that The Harper provides like the clean-up services and most importantly, the Day-Of-Coordinator. I did not have to worry about anything in the days leading up to my wedding and most importantly, I did not have anything to worry about the day of because our coordinator took care of everything! The venue itself is so beautiful and we were able to decorate it to make it our own. My husband is also in the military and The Harper was very accommodating to our situation and potential changes as well as offered a military discount. We wouldn't have wanted our wedding any other way! -

Beautiful & Wonderful
We got married at the Harper October 7th of this year and it was beyond beautiful. We received so many compliments about the venue and it's surroundings. Natasha, the owner, is beyond great and very responsive! Maggie was also so much help and just so great to work with, very responsive and easy to talk to!
The bridal suite was so beautiful, my girls and I had so much space to get ready. Everything from the kitchen to the restrooms were perfect. I would choose the Harper again & again! -

Every corner is STUNNINGGG and well thought out!
EVERY CORNER IS STUUUNNING + well thought out!! We are a local wedding photography company and want to share about our experience with The Harper. We recently were part of a styled shoot at this venue and have since only had great things to say. The staff was responsive, so accommodating and KIND. They not only treat their couples and their families well, they also treat us fellow vendors with professionalism and respect. Already so excited to continue working here next wedding season. Thank you Harper!! -

THE PERFECT VENUE! It is so beautiful and such a blank canvas that you can make it totally your own. The space and furniture is so gorgeous that you barely even need decorations to make it truly stunning. After seeing the venue online and then touring it, we knew we had to have our wedding there. It was so important to us that the indoor ceremony space was just as beautiful as the outdoor space, as I knew it would be so stressful for us to worry about what the weather would be like the day of. We ended up having the ceremony indoors, and the team seamlessly re-configured the space for us during cocktail hour. One of the best things about the space was also the getting ready room! We loved it so much. The Harper is also between Erie and Pittsburgh, which was important to us because of our guests - and it also allowed us to use vendors from all over the place! Every single time we spoke with a vendor and they knew the wedding was at the Harper, they were so excited. So many vendors said that the Harper is their favorite place to work and that the coordinators are their favorite to work with. We had Maggie for day of coordination, and she was amazing. She brought our vision to life and took so much stress off of us. We had SO many compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went and how kind Maggie was. I have not heard even ONE negative thing from our guests, vendors, or from other couples about the Harper. It really was perfect. I can't wait to get the rest of our professional photos back to re-live how beautiful the reception space was. -

Our dream venue!
I have to first start this review by speaking about Maggie. When we decided to book a month of coordinator I’m not sure what we expected but Maggie was above and beyond anything we imagined. She was kind, communicative, very organized, and did so many behind the scenes things that I’m genuinely touched by her attention to detail and her effort on our wedding day. She made our wedding vision come to life and I was blown away seeing everything put together that we planned for over a year.
I knew after the first conversation my husband and I had with Maggie that she would be on top of everything on the big day and handle any issues that could arise. For as much as you plan, things pop up and you’re going to want to go with a person who can handle things with grace. That’s Maggie and the Harper team. My husband and I felt like we were able to be present on our wedding day, which was something that was very important to us. Maggie and her assistants truly made our day a breeze.
As someone who wasn’t sure if a month of coordinator was necessary, after booking with Maggie - that decision was the best one we made. Every venue would be so lucky to have their own Maggie.
About the Harper Event Venue itself- If lived in PA I would be annoyingly recommending them to my neighbors but the next best thing I can do is write this review and say that as an out of town bride I am beyond thankful we booked The Harper for our wedding. It was our dream venue. It has a beautiful outdoor area where we had the ceremony facing the pond and our pictures turned our gorgeous with the modern farmhouse style of the venue. We loved that it’s a “blank canvas” inside that we could create our own style which made the planning process more fun.
Our guests were blown away by the venue, and we are so happy we got married at The Harper. We absolutely loved it. I wish we lived in PA so we could attend more weddings there! If they have your wedding date available don’t wait- book with them! -

Perfection
After I got engaged, I started following photographers on instagram to get ideas for engagement photos. One of the photographers posted a wedding at the most beautiful venue I had ever seen, The Harper Event Venue. The next day we drove to Meadville for a tour of The Harper with Natasha and that evening secured our date!
One word comes to mind when I think about the Harper, and that is absolute PERFECTION. The attention to detail and the versatility of the entire space is nothing short of amazing. From the ceremony space, the outdoor patio, the indoor/outdoor bar, huge dance floor, the get ready room, even the bathrooms are beautiful! It was everything I could have ever dreamed of and more. The only thing more perfect than getting married at the Harper was having Natasha as our full scale wedding planner and day of coordinator. Natasha is truly the sweetest woman I have ever met. Her patience, professionalism, thoroughness, calmness and attention to detail throughout the entire process did not go unnoticed. I will never be able to thank her enough.
I can not recommend The Harper Event Venue and Natasha enough!! -

Loved the harper!
We had our wedding at The Harper on August 18th and it was PERFECT. We hired Maggie for our month of coordination and she was fabulous to work with! She touched base with all of our vendors to coordinate the day, made us a timeline, and made sure the day ran smoothly and that set-up was flawless. She was always available to us and we could tell how hard she was working to make our day perfect! My husband especially loved that she made sure he had a Manhattan in his hand the moment we were done with our ceremony! Maggie and her team even ran out to buy us extra liquor when we ran out a bit earlier than expected!
The Harper as a venue is stunning and I'm so glad we went with it for our wedding! I've only seen a few photos so far but they are gorgeous. We wanted a wildflower theme four our wedding with a lot of tapered candles, votives, and florals and the space lent itself perfectly to our romantic vision! The getting ready space for the bridal party was big enough for myself, 8 bridesmaids, two moms, two hairstylists and two makeup artists. We had the venue at 8am the morning of our wedding which was wonderful since we had so many people to get ready!
I can not say thank you enough to Maggie for being so wonderful, I'm so glad we went with The Harper for our big day! If you're on the fence, I would HIGHLY recommend this venue! -

We had searched (both online and in person) all over within an hour of Pittsburgh for a specifically perfect venue (modern, contemporary, minimalist with a beautiful outdoor ceremony area) and just couldn't find the right place. When we stumbled upon The Harper (north in Meadville) online, I remember looking at my then fiance in disbelief that we had found IT! The feeling was indescribable as I knew it was exactly what we were looking for. We immediately went to view it and booked our date right after. Natasha, the owner, was excellent in helping us in the beginning... But when Maggie, our coordinator, took over, she went above and beyond all of our expectations! From layouts to decor to my stress levels about possible thunderstorms, she was immensely helpful in every single way. She eased me nerves, she made me laugh, and she just genuinely is a good person who cared about making our wedding perfect. We highly recommend adding on the day-of/month-of coordinating services. Our day truly went so unbelievably smoothly, that I kept looking over my shoulder for something to go wrong... And it just didn't. Maggie and her assistants handled EVERYTHING! I can't imagine our wedding being anywhere else. The Harper has such a special place in our hearts. Thank you Natasha, Maggie, and team!! Highly recommend the Harper and Maggie! -

Absolutely perfect! The venue has the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor space and is just all-around beautiful. There is plenty of space to navigate the venue as well. Originally, we were hesitant to pay for a day of coordinator, however, we were proved SO WRONG! It was worth every freaking penny! We thought we were going to have to decorate EVERYTHING ourselves, but they stepped WAY up and did so much! We really only had to hang up/tear down our drapes and they took care of just about everything else! They also kept the day running smoother than we ever thought it could have! We could not have done it without them! -

Jordan B. Sent on 11/21/2023Excellent and Trustworthy Venue!
My husband and I were married here for our Fourth of July wedding and it was a breath of fresh air. It was a blessing to have a venue that did not have any "hidden strings attached," were very realistic and honest people, and trusted their clients with their venue space and materials. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Perfect blend of modern and rustic as well! -

The Harper was absolutely the most perfect wedding venue! We did full planning with Natasha and she and her whole team were amazing to work with. She was able to coordinate so much for us while always making sure it was exactly what we wanted. It was great knowing that when problems came up, we had Natasha on our side to solve them. We got married in June and really wanted an outdoor ceremony but with a good backup plan, which the Harper had! It rained all morning and we ended up setting up for an inside ceremony but at the last minute, the sun came out and we were able to quickly transition and have the outdoor ceremony of our dreams! Getting ready right at the Harper was great, loved having the bridal suite to use all day & evening. There is so much lovely greenspace and various areas for photos, too! And of course, the reception space is amazing, the whole venue is perfect to do what you want with. We kept the big doors open and our guests loved being able to move freely from the party inside to the more chill atmosphere outside. Everything was incredible and we couldn't have asked for a better day! So grateful we went with the Harper! -

Perfection
Maggie was our day of coordinator and let me tell you. You need her! She was so kind and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. She made sure the wedding went off without a hitch. The venue was absolutely perfect our guests loved all the photo opportunities and the layout. It is very handicapped friendly which made everything so much easier. Dylan and I were lucky enough to have the most perfect weather and cannot wait to share our beautiful pictures with everyone. The Harper thinks of everything for their guests from a coffee and tea bar in the bridal suite to feminine and baby supplies in the bathrooms. They are incredible and how much Natasha cares shines through in all her employees and the venue. Book with them NOW, you won’t regret anything! -

The Harper is the venue for you.
The Harper Event Venue is absolute perfection. The property and venue is so beautifully done. They thought of every little detail when creating this venue. It can be turned in to any vision or style that you want for your special day. The vision that I had for a classic, elegant and timeless wedding all came together to be more than I could have envisioned. From confirming our wedding date, the planning leading up to our wedding and the actual day of our wedding. The owner, Natasha and our day of coordinator Maggie were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, timely with communication and were a wealth of knowledge. Without them, I do not think that our wedding would have come together and ran so smoothly. Maggie is an absolute dream to work with! She was my saving grace with all the stress and questions leading up to the wedding. She made all of the little pieces come together and flow perfectly! You 100% need her for your wedding! This venue is without a doubt the best around. Don't wait to secure your wedding date at The Harper! -

The BEST day ever
My husband and I got married The Harper on May 12, 2023. The most common question we received was “Why Meadville?” When I told them about how beautiful the venue was, they immediately understood why when the arrived to the venue! We received SO many compliments about how beautiful the venue was inside and outside. We truly had the BEST day ever! Our day of coordinator Maggie was extremely helpful in getting to know us as a couple and what our vision for our special day consisted of. She made a detailed timeline for us and made sure our day went perfectly without any stress! I highly recommend The Harper Event Venue if you are looking for a venue that is unique and beautiful from any wedding you’ve ever been to! -

We had the most beautiful wedding at The Harper
The Harper event venue is truly the venue of your dreams! We had the most beautiful spring wedding and the day was absolutely perfect! We had Natasha as our full event planner/designer and we could not have done it without her! I sent inspiration pictures of florals and overall color scheme I was going for and she really brought to life everything I visioned. From invitation design to centerpieces, everything was absolutely beautiful! She will give a list of preferred vendors and handle all the communication for you, while also keeping you included every step of the way. We know planning a big event can be overwhelming, but Natasha will keep you on track and make sure you are focused on what needs done first and when. If there is anything that needs thought of, she has already thought of it and planned for it. She responds quickly and her passion for event planning shows everytime!
We also had Maggie for our day-of coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! Natasha created a detailed timeline of the day and Maggie made sure everything flowed beautifully. Due to weather, we were waiting to see if our ceremony would be inside or outside as we had hoped. We chose to keep the ceremony indoors and Maggie and her team created a beautiful indoor ceremony space so quickly for us. From the very beginning to the very end, Maggie was there for any and all of our needs. She is so worth it! -

Absolutely loved the Harper!!!!
The Harper is breathtaking! It’s so spacious & accommodating. Natasha, Maggie and their team are amazing. Maggie was my lead coordinator and she was top notch. I was so calm and relaxed the day of my wedding and the days leading up to it because Maggie was so efficient and handled everything for me. The day of she made sure everything was perfect and even with rain we made it work beautifully. Highly recommend the Harper and utilizing them for coordination as well! -

Simply Incredible
I can’t imagine having my wedding anywhere other than The Harper. For starters, the space is absolutely beautiful and has so many touches that just elevates the whole experience for guests. The grounds are stunning and there is so much space, making it perfect for a ceremony and reception site! Natasha was amazing to work with from the jump and was so responsive and helpful — she would always email back right away and had so many resources on hand! We opted for the day/month of coordination and I cannot recommend this enough! Hayley was an absolute dream to work with! She was SO helpful and answered every question I had, she even anticipated the questions I hadn’t thought of yet! I had such peace of mind on my wedding day knowing that Hayley and her talented team had everything under control. I was able to relax and she kept things moving smoothly and seemlessly! She also brought us snacks while we were getting our photos taken! It’s personal touches like those that elevate The Harper and really make it such an incredible venue. I can’t thank the whole team enough for ensuring that our day was absolute perfection from start to finish. ❤️ -

Dreaam Wedding Location
The Harper is an absolute dream venue. This location features anything you could dream of: a fire pit, pond and beautiful surrounding land, indoor/outdoor bar, bridal suite with all the fixings, and a very large reception space which allows you to create the wedding of your dreams. Natasha was so amazing to work with. She was quick to respond to any questions that arose before the wedding. She offered an extensive and organized list of suggested vendors. I am so glad that I included the day-of coordinating services because, as a bride who was worried that I would have to feel like a hostess on my wedding day, I actually got to sit back and enjoy my own party. I know for a fact that I would not have been able to do that if it weren’t for Natasha and her amazing staff. Natasha and her staff worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth running day for all in attendance. I received many compliments from my bridal party, parents, and guests about how smooth everything ran and easily the night flowed together. Thank you so much to Natasha and her team for providing me an experience I will cherish forever!
The Harper Event Venue is a perfect spot for weddings - but can easily be transformed for any event you need! -
