Venue that allows outside catering, help!!

Hi Joanna!! Welcome to WeddingWire!!

I'm sorry you've been having such trouble in your venue search!! (Although I totally think Mission BBQ is worth it.) Have you looked through the WeddingWire vendor directory? I did a search of venues that allow outside vendors in the Lancaster, PA area (that's what it autofilled with, so I ran with it) and came up with a bunch of beautiful places, none that I could tell were fire halls.

Hopefully that gives you a little bit of help!! What area of Pennsylvania are you planning your wedding in?

Yes, I have search, and different areas as well. That tool is great! The problem is that some allow outside vendors, but not necessarily outside catering. I have been messaging them anyway in the off chance they do both. The areas are from Lancaster area to Philadelphia. Thanks!

I live in the Lehigh Valley area which is right between Lancaster and Philadelphia. We are doing Mission BBQ as well and we are getting married at a venue called "The Barn at Durham Hill". It is absolutely beautiful and would in my opinion be worth the drive to tour at least

Hey Joanna!

I am getting married at Lily Manor in Mifflin and I am pretty sure they allow outside caterers. My fiance and I had originally wanted to do food trucks but since changed our minds. Danielle at Lily Manor would be more than happy to answer your questions

Hi there! I am getting married at a place called wind in the willows, it’s a beautiful barn 10 minutes from Hershey that accommodates up to 175 people and allows for outside catering and is very flexible with letting you set up your special day your way
