Northeast PA wedding venues!?!?

kscha925, on September 2, 2011 at 1:00 AM Posted in Planning 0 11

Hey everyone, I need a lot of help. My fiance and I are having a lot of trouble finding a nice ceremony/reception site here in Northeast PA (we live in Jim Thorpe). We are looking for something rustic, but not a barn. We are looking more for like old lodge or cabin type of thing. Or a nice woodsy place where you can have the ceremony, and an outside wedding with a tent. There's some okay places here were we live, but parking is not good around here. We don't really want a community center, or something like that.

We really want a place that will do the ceremony and reception. The only problem is we want something unique, and not more than an hour away. If you could help at all, I would be so thankful. We are getting a little discouraged.

    Hi Kelly! Im also a NEPA bride. We are looking into a whole bunch of places around the Scranton area (not looking to go over an around away either).

    Have you checked out the Woodlands? I havent been there yet, but I have an appointment to visit in October.

    They are actually having a bridal show there in October I'm going to as well.

    YAY I'm so glad to find another NEPA bride. There are a few of us around here.... I'm always excited to find another one Smiley smile

    I heard of the Woodlands...I'll have to look into it. We are going to visit some places hopefully soon.

    We were considering Stroudsmoor, but I think that one is out now. Mountain Spring lake does look nice, but I have to see how far away it is.

    Everything is like 50 minutes away from where I'm from. ANNOYING! haha.

    Why did you eliminate Stroudsmoore? I'm just curious b/c I'm going to visit that venue next month!

    Would the Scranton area be somewhere you might be looking into? I know a nice place that, had I lived closer I would have used. It is an old barn but it has been fixed up. There is ample space for a tent outside and very nice scenery. I'm pretty sure you could even talk them into planting flowers of your choosing. Only downer is there is no normal bathroom on site.

    Catlady, the Stroudsmoore's not technically eliminated, but we are trying to find something that is a 30 minutes away or less. I feel like if it's further away, I won't know what is going on. I guess I'm a control freak when it comes to my wedding! hahaha. Anyway, if nothing works out closer to where I live, than I'm going to look into it more.

    Anyone know anything about Stonehedge Gardens? In Tamaqua? Apparently they have weddings, but there's not much about it.

    Audrey, what is the place in Lehighton called? We are going to look at The Orioles hall/center in Lehighton.

    Is there a website for The Riverside?
