Brick Gables

ghout the entire process (even with my indecisiveness, lol). She helped me in more ways than I could have ever asked for!   Heather, the Venue Manager, was also an absolute pleasure to work with—so kind, organized, and supportive. She really helped lighten the mood the day before the wedding, which I appreciated so much.   Claudine, my bartender, was wonderful as well! She makes the most amazing drinks and works with you to find the perfect options for your day. She was also incredibly kind and supportive.   The venue itself is stunning. If you’re looking for a rustic barn vibe, this is the place. The food was amazing and they offer so many options to choose from. I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married!   And something I truly loved—they even check in with you after the wedding to see how you’re doing. That small gesture meant a lot to me. Sincerely, the Martins

our big day. They were very accommodating and give you so many resources, to help plan your special day. On the day of, we had so many things not work out the way it was planned and the communication with our planner and the staff at Brick Gables, was astounding. Even with the hiccups in between our big day, Brick Gables never failed and made it very special for us. During our entrance, I can remember the staff hyping us up as we were waiting for our dj to announce our first time as newlyweds. It was such a fun experience. There space is so full of lots of moving room to make your guest comfortable and the wood really sets the tone, for however you want to decorate. We will definitely be booking with Brick Gables in the future for other life changing events. 

ffordable and we had multiple guests comment on how great it was.

ns. The venue itself is breathtaking. The blend of rustic charm and elegant detail created the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our guests are still raving about how stunning the space was. The warm, inviting ambiance to the thoughtful décor and incredible photo opportunities throughout the property made it memorable.  The staff deserves endless praise, especially the manager Heather. She was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. Heather answered every question, eased every concern, and ensured that our day flowed seamlessly. Because of her, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment—she handled timing, setup, transitions, and all the behind-the-scenes details with complete grace and efficiency. The food was fantastic: delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Guests repeatedly told us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had! The bar service was excellent as well, with friendly staff and quick service all evening.  What we appreciated most was how personal everything felt. We never once felt like “just another wedding.” Brick Gables genuinely cared about making our day special, and Heather made us feel supported and celebrated the entire way through. If you’re looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service, Brick Gables is truly unbeatable. Our wedding was unforgettable, and we will cherish our experience here forever. Highly, highly recommend. 

ofessional and timely with their responses. They really try to make sure you get everything you want. Everything was perfect. It's so rare to hear nothing went wrong but literally NOTHING went wrong. It was a perfect day. So many compliments from our guests on the food and drinks too. I cannot recommend them enough.

he space itself is absolutely stunning—bright, spacious, and versatile—creating the perfect backdrop for our day. There was plenty of parking for our guests, beautiful indoor and outdoor areas, and everything was spotless and well-maintained. Every detail was handled with care, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to host our event!

o were all of the photo spots. I had a Christmas wedding and the pines there were a perfect for my photos! They were always available to answer any questions I had and ensured me on the big day I wouldn't have to worry. The staff themselves were a pleasure to work with! Brick Gables, my wedding planners, EventFully Yours Consultants, LLC, my florist, Florals by Heather Ann, as well as Stray Production set everything up better than I could have ever imagined, and all of my vendors did an incredible job, I truly did not have to worry day of, which is every brides dream. I had very detailed notes of how I wanted everything set up and they knocked it out of the ball park and then some! They helped make my dream wedding even better!! I can't thank Brick Gables and everyone who had part of my big day enough! I 1000% would recommend them to everyone!

r Justine did a fabulous job!

every step of the way. It was the best day of our lives, thanks to the staff here. Even the rain did not stop us! We used the Brick gables exclusive coordinator as well, Justine, and she was a rockstar!!!! 100/10 recommend and I would get married there every weekend if I could!!!

I would highly recommend Brick Gables as a venue to any couple!!!

utside in the mud. The option to have the cocktail hour indoors at the café in case of inclement weather gave us peace of mind. There were private nooks to exchange cards and words, and there were lots of good places to capture great photos. Heather and Jackie and the rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Country Home Catering had amazing food at a great price, and they were very good at accommodating food allergies. Claudine from the Granary was great to plan our drink menu with, and we really enjoyed the special drinks. It was such a wonderful day, and we’re glad we picked Brick Gables.

ve about 1.5h away, so when we were in town they worked with us to schedule walk throughs and tastings etc that worked with our schedule. They were also very helpful to our coordinators (and us) on the day before setting up everything (we DIY-ed basically our whole wedding). They understood and worked with us to extend our reception an hour, which in hindsight we are SO happy we did because it still flew by on the day of! We’re hopeful that one day in a few years we can return for an anniversary party here. Would highly recommend!

s of compliments on our gorgeous venue. We barely had to decorate it! I would recommend this space again and again for couples hoping for a truly wonderful experience.

ption/ceremony room is rustic and just what we imagined for our wedding day. Heather was wonderful to work with and replied to emails quickly and answered all of our questions. Tim, the previous bartender, created our His and Hers drinks for our wedding day based off of just an interview we had with him. Our guests still talk about his drinks today and how much they enjoyed them. Having cocktail hour on the patio was gorgeous on a nice fall day. Our guests still rave about how unique this venue was! There is a willow tree next to the property where our photographer got amazing pictures. I would highly recommend Brick Gables for your wedding day!

ff. Everyone is great to work with and you'll feel very welcomed there! The event space is gorgeous, even with minimal/simple decorations. Highly recommend Brick Gables to any future couples who are wedding planning!!

staff is awesome. We loved working with Heather throughout the whole process. She was always quick to respond to our many questions and requests. We initially had started working with Tim as the head bartender/mixologist (who we absolutely adored), but between the time we decided on the venue and when we got married Tim had left and Claudine jumped right into helping us through that process. Her and her staff also did amazing at the reception and everyone raved about how incredible the drinks were. I also have to mention how delicious the food was. I've been to a lot of weddings and I have to say Brick Gables' caterer, Country Home Catering is the best. The food was hot and tasty; we heard nothing but wonderful reviews from our guests. Overall, I have nothing but great things to say about our choice in picking Brick Gables to celebrate the most special day in our lives!

o work with (trust me, due to COVID, we had to change our wedding plans three times!) and will answer any question you may have. Inside the Gable Barn is just simply stunning. For a few years, I assisted a local wedding photographer. I’ve been to many Central PA wedding venues, and I cannot recommend Brick Gables enough! We had our ceremony and reception in the Gable Barn (so romantic!) and our cocktail hour on the patio (the outdoor furniture and lighting really sets an ambiance). The flow of this venue is just perfect. Country Home Catering, the exclusive caterer for this venue, is fantastic and not to mention, affordable. They offer tons of choices from appetizers for cocktail hour to main entrees. Most importantly, our wedding food was nice and warm! That (along with the delicious mashed potatoes and rolls) thrilled us. Also, we ordered cupcakes and a 6” cutting cake for our wedding from Zig’s Bakery & Café (downstairs), and they were so delicious and beautiful! We got to taste many flavors before ordering, and our items were displayed perfectly at our wedding. The best part is that we can visit Zig’s for our wedding anniversaries! Thank you, Brick Gables, for making our day so special!

re great with communicating. Guests still compliment our signature drinks created by Tim! He is such a fantastic talent! The main room was so beautifully decorated and very comfortable for about 220 guests. We also had a band and the acoustics were amazing! The outdoor cocktail hour was a hit and the food was incredible. We got so many compliments on every aspect. Can't recommend this space and this team more!

ures great service, and such a people person! During the process they were always available to talk through stuff, and got back to us so quickly. Couldn’t have asked for a better place!

thly!

heir wedding day, but ours seemed to go seamlessly, and we owe much of that to Heather. On the day of our wedding, Heather truly made us feel special by doing whatever was needed. Also, Tim, our bartender, was the life of the party and made every guest feel like family. We are so thankful that we had our wedding at Brick Gables and wish we could re-live the day over and over!

nning process so easy! I wouldn't change a thing about how my day went! Also, Tim is the best bartender ever!

othly. Love this place!

xt day which was very helpful. We had a buffet and the food was delicious and all of our guests raved about the food. %100 would do it all over again

We follow each other on Instagram now!! :) Tim at the bar is SO creative and helpful in guiding you through the process. He's also hilarious to talk to and makes you feel like a friend. If the staff wasn't convincing enough, the venue is beyond beautiful and left all of our guests speechless. People are still telling us how beautiful of a wedding it was. The food was delicious and everything ran so smooth. Bathrooms are clean, it's handicap accessible, plenty of space. I could go on and on. We had complete trust in everyone at Brick Gables so we were truly able to just enjoy our wedding. It was the best day ever thanks to Brick Gables! We want to do it all over again! I highly recommend Brick Gables, you won't be dissapointed!

Gables were excellent to work with. Heather, Tim, and Erin helped make our day run smoothly and more special then we could have imagined. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic (our guests are still talking about it!), and the drinks were great. Everything was clean and well maintained, which was important to us from the start. Overall, our day was amazing and we couldn't have done it without the support of the staff. We highly recommend Brick Gables for anyone looking for a more accommodating and modern "barn wedding."

about this venue is that they coordinate so much all ready for you! The catering all goes through them. It made my life so much easier. All I had to do was say what I wanted and send numbers in. If you are looking for a peaceful venue that already has a lot of what you need and will help you along the way. This is your place!

rin, Tori, and Tim were incredible to work with and accommodated any changes and requests we had! Our guests were in awe of how beautiful everything was, the food tasted, and the quality of the service provided. I would HIGHLY recommend this affordable venue to any couple! We were able to stay in a modest budget because of their prices and ability to provide our own alcohol. Thank you for making our day breathtaking!!

edding back in May. We worked with Heather, who was very organized and helped our day run smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful with twinkle lights and the high ceilings. It was perfect since our guests didn't have to travel from the ceremony site to the reception since it was all in one place. It was one of the few rustic, climate-controlled venues in the area that could accommodate our 200+ guests. We had the ceremony upstairs, went downstairs for the cocktail hour, and came back up to see the room transformed for the reception. We ordered our desserts from ZIG's (the bakery downstairs), which was very convenient. And, since they do in-house catering, we didn't have to worry about getting an outside vendor. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was magical.

we knew that this was the place for us. The staff was incredibly attentive and treated us like we were their only wedding to plan! They were very accommodating with our special requests and decorating ideas. The price fit our budget perfectly . I can't even begin to describe how beautiful the barn was for the wedding and reception. Our wedding was in June and it was a gorgeous day so we got amazing pictures outside at the stone wall & down by the willow tree. We got married months ago and our family and friends are still telling us what a beautiful venue we had and what an amazing day it was at Brick Gables. The food is delicious, everything we chose tasted wonderful and our guests complimented it over and over. This place made us wish we could do our wedding day over every single year there!

from a horrible situation. Our wedding was originally going to be in Wyomissing Pa where I am from, ( Weve lived in California for the past 5 years and were doing all of this planning from afar, which was not easy ) we had our date and venue selected just a month after our engagement in April , then 2 days before Christmas we recieve an email from our previous reception location, Reading Country Club, stating that they were closing and we would have to find another location for our wedding, we had that venue selected for over 6 months and now our wedding was only 10 months away and we needed to start all over! We were stunned to say the least but started to look at other locations in the surrounding area. We had to change our wedding date, call all of our vendors and beg them to be flexible while we tried to relocate our entire reception somewhere else. We happened upon Brick Gables in Lititz which was a little farther than we had planned to look but at this point we were struggling to find another in our hometown/ surrounding area and within the same month (October) . It was the best decision we ever made, and I am glad our first location didn’t work out. Heather and Tim are a fantastic team and I would encourage anyone who is getting married in the Reading/ Wyomissing area to consider Brick Gables. Heather was literally a DREAM to work with, we met with her multiple times to review pricing, setup and just to look at the space to envision what our new reception was going to look like. She was helping us every step of the way and so sympathetic in our situation and current state. She guided us with food selections and the event that had at the barn for the tasting was amazing. Tim handles all the beverage service at the Brick Gables and I cant imagine a more passionate, dedicated,and perfect person for that job than him! He was so sweet and accommodating, and lives and breathes everything beverage. His thought process is so methodical and to the T, he and his staff did an INCREDIBLE JOB handling our guests. I myself work in the wedding industry in CA and ill admit I was very particular as to how things were going to look and be presented, yes I was a particular bride and they exceeded my expectations completely. The featured Cocktail was a HUGE HIT, I have been to a few weddings where featured cocktails were offered and they were forgettable and just something cute to put on a sign, not at the Brick Gables though! Everyone was RAVING about the cocktail and asked for the recipe the following day. He was such a joy to work with and you can tell both Heather and Tim love their jobs and love what they do. The food was amazing , yes we actually ate our entrees because after one bite I looked at my husband and said we are not leaving this table until we finish this meal. The filet mignon was outstanding and the cocktail hour featured beautifully passed appetizers and stationed items, ALL OF THEM just amazing. You will be doing yourself the biggest favor if you select Brick Gables as your venue, the service is top of the line, food and beverage on point, and the hospitality and care you recieve will leave you feeling special and that you do truly matter. This is your wedding day, make sure you select a venue that will put this much love and care into it.

hed out to the venue almost a year ago, they have been nothing but friendly, warm, professional, capable, and FUN! PLACES: We were charmed from the second we walked into Brick Gables - it's a restored barn but isn't "country" so much as "industrial." Part of what we loved about the space was that it was a blank enough canvas that we could add things and personalize it to our tastes, but it was a STUNNING blank canvas (red brick, wooden walls, high ceilings, chandeliers, Christmas lights, etc.), so we didn't feel the need to decorate every inch of it. The outdoor patio would have been our cocktail hour space, but there was some rain, so the cocktail hour was moved inside to where Zig's Bakery is. The patio was beautiful anyway, and we used it for pictures! The bakery worked well for cocktail hour, as far as we have heard. The bridal suite is a corner of the bakery sectioned off for this purpose, and it was very handy and a nice place to get dressed, but we did have to move all of our belongings elsewhere so that they could open that corner up for cocktail hour. This was no big deal and actually helped, as we were able to get some stuff packed back into cars that we didn't need! The groom's suite is small but useful, but the guys weren't interested in sitting in a room all day, anyways! The barn is stunning, as I have mentioned, and we had a rocking dance floor and a great time! All of our guests were from out of town and they had no issues finding the venue, and there was plenty of parking. PEOPLE: We became friends with the staff at Brick Gables INSTANTLY! Erin and Heather are amazing to work with; they care to know you as a couple and want to help you pull off a dream day. They both respond promptly and answer questions as they can, so nicely even when you have asked tons of questions (sorry, guys!). The owners of the venue are so kind and we enjoyed meeting them as well - my husband and I loved that it is a family-owned business and you can feel the warmth that is there in the environment! Erin was our coordinator for the day of the wedding and she was a rockstar helping things move along, coming to our aid if we had a request or issue, and just helped to be a calm and encouraging presence the day of. Also - Tim Stanlake was our bartender (with Granary at Brick Gables) and he was OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing!! He sat with us, got to know us and our drink preferences, and created three incredible, original, Phantom of the Opera themed cocktails! He was also so helpful in making decisions. People were raving about the cocktails, and we got so many compliments about the venue in general. FOOD: The food was amazing! The venue's owners also own a catering company that you must use, so we didn't have to go find a caterer somewhere (to us, this was a huge relief). Our meal options/choices weren't anything crazy or super exotic but they were DANG good! Which is exactly what we wanted; we couldn't have been more pleased! Overall, Brick Gables is the place to go if you want kind and reliable support and service, a beautiful venue that doesn't have to be decked out (but can), and a dreamy day where you just get to focus on marrying your love. I know reviews were so helpful to me as I looked at venues, so that's why this is so long! I hope you find it helpful :)

many compliments!

she walked in, Brick Gables was what she wanted so much that it brought her to tears (happy tears :). We initially worked with Krista, then Heather. Being very detail-oriented, I stopped by many times between the booking and the wedding. Heather was patient with all of my concerns and made suggestions on where to place things, etc., and was very open to our ideas for decorating. The bartender worked perfectly with my son-in-law's family to prepare the drink menu and plan a safe evening for our guests. The on-site catering and bakery worked out great for the evening. Having everything on-site made everything run smoothly. We received nothing but compliments regarding the set-up, the delicious homemade food and cupcakes, and the venue. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any event!

the best they had ever attended and I really believe that Brick Gables had a lot to do with that experience. The staff was very professional and organized. Heather was especially helpful and always answered my questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend this gem of a venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and intimate space for any special event. Thank you for everything! :)

. From the beginning to the end, all of the staff was very accommodating to make our visions and hopes become reality on our special day. They were patient and helpful to Make sure everything was just how it needed to be for our big day. From the patio and cafe area to offer outdoor options and cover/cool from the August heat, to the stairway, landing, main room and NEW BAR area- the setting perfectly fit and fulfilled our modern barn theme. They offered great services, and for those items they personally didn’t provide, they had great relationships with local vendors who were excited to work with us and Brick Gables, which made planning even easier. Highly recommend Brick Gables to anyone looking for a beautiful setting to add a little or a lot to make it your own. We cannot say enough about how beautiful our day turned out and how great the staff was to work with. Thank you!!!!

answered every ridiculous question I had, Erin was there to make sure our day was perfect, and Tim had the new bar ready to go. Brick Gables truly helped to make our special day perfect!!!! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an amazing venue to get married in!!!

recommend this venue!

day possible. We booked a full year in advance and the communication throughout the entire planning process was great! In addition to a beautiful space and great communication, the food was delicious as well! Brick Gables has a new bar, The Granary, that was completed prior to our wedding, adding a special touch. The bar staff was available through Zig's Bakery on the 1st floor, making the process easy to ensure that our guests were well served throughout the cocktail hour and reception. Lastly, we love that we are able to return to Zig's Bakery and Cafe/Brick Gables on the first floor whenever we want to relive the memories of our wedding day!
