    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!

    Gorgeous venue

    I recommend Wind in the Willow to all engaged couples looking for a wedding venue. Amazing owners who love their job and make it feel like their own family member is getting married. They went above and beyond with assisting with last minute touches on the wedding morning that made me as the bride be able to relax. I can not thank Wind in the Willow for making my wedding day feel so special.

    Amazing venue!

    Could not recommend a venue more- from beginning to end, our experience at Wind in the Willows was wonderful. The venue and property are stunning. They have a chapel you can reserve if you’d prefer to get married there or in case it were to rain on your wedding day (as a recent bride, I know plan Bs are a must!), but our ceremony right on the pond was breathtaking. The owners and their staff were incredible to work with- from booking, to planning, wedding day preparation and clean up. They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process- they even have a decor shed FULL of items you can use for your wedding (at no additional cost). If you’re considering a wedding at Wind in the Willows- I’m here to tell you, DO IT!! Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to them.

    Beautiful venue & hosts

    We were so pleased with our wedding at Wind in the Willows! We couldn't have picked a better venue. We still are getting compliments on how pretty the venue is with the vintage barn and willow trees surrounding the big pond (made for GREAT wedding photos). The hosts were extremely accommodating and attentive and made our day even more special. We were very blessed to find a venue that fit our heart's desire and could afford. If you're looking to have flexibility on decorating and vendors then this place is perfect for you. The decoration shed was a huge bonus. We were allowed to use anything which was convenient since we lived out of state. Highly recommend Wind in the Willows!

    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.

    Best Venue in Central PA

    Wind in the Willows team is absolutely the best! Very communicative and helpful. Their pricing is the best around. We rented the Ford Truck and it was a fairytale come true. The pictures came out so amazing with the waterfront in the background. We were blessed to have a beautiful day for the wedding but they also offer back up plans for a rainy day. They have truly thought about everything down to the décor of the venue. Just perfect!

    Perfection!

    The absolute BEST wedding venue in the Central PA area! We just had our fall wedding here and it was perfect. The reception hall has a beautiful rustic barn feel, the lighting is stunning, and the space is large perfect for 100-130 people. The cocktail area downstairs is also beautiful - you can have an indoor and/or outdoor cocktail hour so the weather is not a problem. We had our ceremony in their private chapel, which was a perfect touch to our day! There are many options for the ceremony location, which allows for reassurance in the case of bad weather. The venue's price is very reasonable, including a large decor shed that you can pull from to decorate on your big day. This decor shed keeps growing with each wedding, so there is always more to choose from.

    The owners, Aaron and Andrea, are a true blessing. Their communication, promptness, and professionalism are top-notch. They proved to be easily accessible and accommodating to our every need throughout the process. They are as hands-on as you would like, but always willing to provide more assistance as you need it. Overall, we had the PERFECT day here and would recommend this venue to anyone.

    Wind in the Willows was a dream venue for our wedding. It is one of the most beautiful settings for a wedding and barn for the reception is so nice with the lights and they you really almost need no decorations. Aaron and Andrea were so helpful right from that start. They never hesitated to answer and questions we had or give ideas or recommendations. The decor she’d made it so easy for us to have almost everything there that we needed for center pieces and more. Their staff was also so helpful in helping us set some things up the day of and clean some stuff up as well. Our family and guests had so many good things to say about the beauty of the venue as well. I would recommend this venue to everyone, you will not be disappointed.

    A hidden gem!

    I googled venues around the area and this came up. Early in the wedding process, we were so lucky to personally email, meet, and talk to Aaron about the venue. He was straightforward and so easy to work with. Before, during, and after the wedding process, Aaron and Andrea were the best! The best part is that it was very affordable with sooooo many features and its location is a one of a kind place!

    Best choice

    DREAM VENUE! Gorgeous, breath taking scenery - amazing, supportive, helpful owners - tons of available wedding decorations to use included in the price! My guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and how incredibly fun the wedding was - largely in part to the venue staff for setting up and providing an accommodating location.

    Best part of the day!

    Wind in the Willows was an outstanding venue to work with: caring, responsive, accommodating. We would have given a 4/5 in professionalism only because the owners were so chill (compared to other rigid venues/rules), but this is exactly what we wanted so it was an overall wonderful venue!! They deserve 5 stars all around. The beautiful grounds and facilities were the most commented on part of our wedding!

    The Most Amazing and Perfect Venue

    Our wedding at Wind in the Willows was everything we could have ever wanted and more! It was such an amazing day at a perfect venue. It truly was a first-class experience. The space itself is unique, rustic, beautiful and provided more than enough room to fit our rowdy crowd of 125 people. The groomsmen were able to get ready in the barn area and the ladies were able to relax and get ready in the carriage house. The carriage house had all the necessities as well as a ton of space to get ready. We enjoyed having cocktail hour on the bottom section of the barn, which included a huge bar, seating, standing tables and bathrooms that were extremely convenient! Upstairs, we enjoyed the sting lights and the loft housed our DJ! The space upstairs was perfect! We could comfortably fit all our guests, our caterer, photobooth, and all our tables. We had more than enough room to enjoy an amazing night full of food, fun, booze, and dancing! In addition, the owners, Andrew and Aaron, really went above and beyond. They are so kind and caring and made sure that all our needs were exceeded! They answered ALL of our questions and were super quick in getting back to us. They ensured we felt like family and we had everything we needed to make our day perfect. We honestly could not have picked a more amazing and perfect venue to host our amazing day! We were so lucky to be able to have our wedding at this amazing place with these amazing owners! I would highly recommend this venue to all!!!

    Amazing Doesn't Cover It

    I don’t know where to begin – our experience with Wind in the Willows every single step of the way exceeded our expectations. When we began wedding planning, I researched about a million venues from Philadelphia to Lancaster, Hershey to New Hope – the mountains to the beach (I am Philly based by the way). Nothing caught my attention like Wind in the Willows (I wound up with a spreadsheet of around 150 venues – insane I know- but that tells you how particular I am).

    I sent them an email and super quickly, Aaron and Andrea, my husband and I were exchanging friendly emails and planning our visit. My husband and I drove out to Hershey and knew this was the place before we even finished pulling into the driveway (I canceled our next appointment on the drive home). We had a contract signed that week and wedding planning officially commenced! Throughout the entire wedding planning process, I had large handful of questions, mostly where I was asking Aaron and Andrea to help me accommodate disabled family and they couldn’t have been more understanding, compassionate and accommodating. They were also incredibly helpful while we were decorating – when we had a question, they were there ready to help.

    The day of was as perfect as I had imagined (maybe a little more 😊) The staff was so great, friendly, and very helpful. The bridal suite, grooms cottage, barn and chapel were all so beautiful (clean, great ambiance, great temp, etc.) and we are still receiving compliments from our family and friends (wedding was 12/4/21).

    Wind in the Willows is definitely doing something a little extra special. We were so excited to go back for the Wind in the Willows wedding alumni party. We both can’t wait to go back for anniversary and family pictures. You never know - maybe one day we will even book for an anniversary party! I would highly recommend them to anyone for any type of event.
