The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion Reviews

My husband and I looked for months to find the perfect venue and when we saw the Willows for the first time we knew it was the one. From the beautiful mansion to the unique tent there was nothing like it.

We booked almost 2 years prior to our day but The Willows was there along the way to answer all my questions & help me plan the perfect event. They were flexible and helped make sure I got everything I was hoping about my day. On the day, they were the BEST team, bless to have been able to work with them.

This is the a top notch venue and there’s nothing like it I highly recommend you have your day here!

The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion is a stunning wedding venue! Our team just shot a wedding here and there are so many good things to say about it! The grounds were beautiful and the mansion itself had so much character, it added to the classy vibes of my couples' wedding! The staff were amazing and super helpful with everything! There were beautiful getting ready spaces and such an impressive ceremony back drop!!

Could not recommend a venue more. Our October wedding at the Ashcombe was nothing short of perfection! The mansion itself is a piece of art and the staff are so accommodating. We got SO MANY compliments from our guests about how unique and gorgeous the space was. So grateful we were able to host our special day at the Willows.

You know that sensation you got when you realized he/she/they were the one? Well you'll get that same feeling when you step foot in this venue. Anyone can see its polished style and inviting grounds as they come upon The Willows, but only those of us who tour inside will experience the awe of impeccable design in every single corner of this home. From the restored original wallpaper paintings to the faucets, there's nothing that hasn't been considered.
Abby from The JDK Group answered every single question I had (and there were many), with professionalism and a smile! I offered ideas of what I would like and the JDK team produced an experience beyond what I could have dreamed. No one could have provided us with a better version of our big day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We have been blessed to have known The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion before it was even completed, and it has been the most beautiful journey from conception to execution. From the gorgeous wallpapers, beautiful chandeliers, and painted ceilings, it is the singular most beautiful location to get married in central Pennsylvania. Deb, the owner, was so kind and gracious throughout the process- dealing with my nerves of the location not being finished on time, but as promised, it was finished in a way that was better than I could have even dreamed. Mark, Ryan, Erika, and the rest of the Ashcombe team made sure we never had to lift a finger throughout the weekend. They were so sweet, constantly checking in to make sure we had all that we could ever ask for. From the bottom of our hearts, we could never even describe our gratitude for the absolute perfection of the celebrations of our wedding weekend. I felt like a queen in the most luxurious mansion.

We were the first wedding at this venue and we are immensely grateful. A year ago, my fiance and I were looking for a venue that would be our place for our big day. I researched so many places and came across The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion. We were immediately sold the minute we drove up to the place and this was even before the gorgeous sailcloth tent and additions! The place is just stunning. There is detail and dedication to every single part of Ashcombe. Deborah, the owner, has such an amazing vision. She did more than restore this 1891 Queen Anne Victorian; she transformed it into the most immaculate place. I had the pleasure of meeting Deborah and she gave us such a warm welcome and made sure we had the best weekend ever. I worked with Abby, the venue contact, and she was so incredibly helpful, patient, and kind throughout the whole planning process. Chris and Mark helped us out during our stay and they were great. It's been about 2 weeks since our wedding and we are all still marveling at its beauty. Thank you so much Ashcombe and your incredible team of people who were involved in making our wedding weekend everything we dreamed of and more. We hope to be back soon for an event or our anniversary celebration :)

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of having our fairytale wedding dreams come true at the Willows. We knew from the very first tour that this was the venue meant for us! It is immediately obvious that every tiny detail is well thought out and absolutely stunning. As if that isn’t enough, the staff clearly has a passion for what they do and were nothing short of incredible every step of the way. We never once doubted our decision and our guests are still daydreaming about our special day. Thank you a million times over to all of those involved in making our wedding day everything we’d hoped it would be and more!

I did not want to have a wedding until we visited The Willows at Ashcombe. I was blown away by the venue. There isn’t a single detail missing. Everything is so beautiful, classy, and has so much thought and care behind it. We had our rehearsal dinner there as well because one day at the mansion wasn’t enough for me! We live within ten minutes from the mansion, and we ended up renting it for the entire weekend to make the most of it. Our wedding party stayed there with us and commented that it was a nicer stay than any hotel/resort they have been to. On top of all that, the staff there is unbelievable. They clearly know their field and they pulled off our wedding weekend with ease and perfection. They were so attentive and didn’t miss a single thing. I had absolutely zero worries or problems during the weekend due to their care. My family and guests still know them and mention them by name. They left such an impression. This venue is worth your money and your memories. It’s literal magic! I even have friends from the wedding booking other events there so they can go back and enjoy it! I can’t say enough wonderful things about the venue and staff!

We had a wonderful experience with Deb, the owner, Mark, and the entire team at Ashcombe. This venue was still undergoing renovations leading up to our micro-wedding (we were the third wedding to be hosted by Ashcombe I believe) but we appreciated the communication throughout. They were very accommodating wherever possible. Our vendors enjoyed the experience as well. We especially appreciated the kindness shown to our out of town guests who stayed overnight. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about the gentlemen as well as the luxurious accommodations. The venue is/was gorgeous and looked amazing for our reception AND was the perfect backdrop for our engagement photos. We plan to use Ashcombe for future events. Thank you for the magical experience!

All of our family and friends are still raving about our wedding (10.28.22) at the Willows at Ashcombe along with the delicious food provided by JDK! We fell in love the French Baroque/Vintage sophisticated venue that is the Willows. My love for weeping willows put this venue as my number 1 on my list of venue during our search. It’s sophisticated and elegant which made our wedding pictures look almost royal!
The food and service provided by JDK was exquisite. My French side was in heaven because of how pretty and delicious the appetizers were. JDK’s staff was friendly and they even assigned a butler to us to make sure welcoming. They even made sure that we had something to eat and stayed hydrated while taking our bridal pictures. On a day where everything goes fast, it’s easy to forget to eat and stay hydrated but thanks to the JDK staff, my husband and I felt very well taken care of.
Abby from the JDK team is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! She made us feel at ease and we felt like we could rely on her from the our first phone call. She is friendly and warm (bride, if you are stressed you need someone like that on your side). Everything was PERFECT from start to finish. I had family come from France, Germany and they fell in love with the venue, the food and the ambiance. They are still talking about out wedding!! 😊

If you’re still looking for the perfect venue and caterer, this is your sign! Go with the Willows and the JDK team. We had an exquisite wedding experience!
