From start to finish, our experience at
Memorytown was absolutely unforgettable. The venue itself is breathtaking, with stunning architecture and beautifully manicured grounds tha...
t provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless, from coordinating with our vendors to managing the timeline seamlessly.
Lori was incredibly organized and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Our guests were blown away by the atmosphere, the exquisite food, and the impeccable service. The venue offers a variety of options for different styles of weddings, and it was easy to customize the space to reflect our vision.
What truly stood out was how well the team made us feel like we were their top priority. They were attentive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, exceptional service, and stunning views, look no further than Memorytown. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day!

nt perfectly. Lori and Curtis did an exceptional job overseeing the day and ensuring everything went smoothly. We were SO impressed. The salon was perfect for getting ready in, the lounge was fun for the guys to hang out in. The ceremony site we used was in the forest. In late October, the leaves were in full force and it was honestly the most perfect fall day. The heritage barn was an amazing event space. Plenty of dance floor space, the tables were set up by their team exactly as I had dreamt, and the food was so good (I’m still dreaming of the filet mignon meatballs.) The cabins are so fun to have friends and family stay onsite. The honeymoon cabin is newly renovated and has a gorgeous view of the lake. I wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding day. This was our easiest wedding decision.

We got married in September this year and our wedding was so unbelievably perfect from the second we stepped on to the gorgeous grounds until we left as husband and wife. If you’re...
looking for a beautiful, country wedding that literally has it ALL, look no further.
We loved that everything was on-site. Our rehearsal dinner was in the beautiful Rose Room, ceremony by the Kissing Bridge with the trees and lake in the background on a picture-perfect day, reception in the gorgeous Heritage Barn and then had our breakfast the next morning in the adorable café. And to top it all off, almost our entire wedding was able to stay in the cutest cabins/rooms which made it all so special and truly felt like a weekend getaway with all our favorite people. For anyone who didn’t want to stay on-site, Mount Airy Resort is a quick 5-minute drive and Ubers were readily available in the area so they had no problem coming and going.
I’ve been to a lot of weddings and let’s face it, the food at big catering halls is mediocre at best. That is certainly not the case at Memorytown. The food was outstanding! People are still talking about how good it was. If you’re just starting out looking for barn venues, I’m here to warn you that we looked at several before finding Memorytown and most do not include catering in their price (and the prices are outrageous!). Having to bring in catering, pick linens, flatware, plates, etc. are just more things to add to the never-ending list of to-dos. No thank you! Memorytown had everything and made it all SO simple. Amazing food and an already gorgeous venue, that even if you didn’t add a single piece of décor, would STILL be beautiful.
I've been a bridesmaid in several weddings and I have never seen a bigger, more beautiful setup than the Memorytown bridal suite. It was like a true salon set-up and my girls and glam squad were so happy to be in such a comfortable space. (This was a huge plus because we spent as much time, if not more, in the bridal suite getting ready as we did at the wedding!) And the Buck's Lounge where the guys got ready - SO cool. Very modern setup with a big TV, bar, couches, etc.
And last but certainly not least, I need to give a special shout-out to Lori - I swear, if she wasn't working the wedding, I would've invited her as a guest because she felt like Aunt Lori by the time we got to the wedding day. She was the absolute sweetest, down-to-earth person and was SO easy to work with. She always answered all the questions I had and worked with us to make sure everything was just the way we wanted. Through the whole process she was calm and fun and just the exact type of person I needed to work with during the stressful/exciting process of wedding planning. Lori - thank you to you and your amazing staff for being a huge part of making our special day so perfect! (I'm definitely not crying again ...)
I could go on and on but I'll end off with this - another thing that makes this place so special is that me and my husband can relive it all. There are not many wedding venues you can go back to unless you happen to get invited to another wedding there. But Memorytown - we will be back! Definitely for our anniversary, if not before then. We can't wait to spend a weekend away in a cute country cabin, indulge in the same amazing food, take a walk around the beautiful lake and reminisce about the day we got married surrounded by everyone we love at the most PERFECT wedding venue.

Words can’t describe how incredible Memorytown is! We found Memorytown on The Knot and we decided to go check it out. The first walk-through we did we knew this was the place we wa...
nted to get married. Lori did a phenomenal job helping us figure out all the ins and outs of what would work for our wedding. You absolutely get what you pay for at Memorytown, including the incredible service from the staff, the guidance from Lori and every detail you could think of to make your day so special. Also, the property is beautiful with surrounding trees, a lake and cabins on site for guests to stay in. Our guests were so excited that they could have fun that night and then stay on the same property and not have to worry about driving home. A big part of our day being so perfect was because of Memorytown and the staff. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was and the staff helped the day run so smoothly that I didn’t feel overwhelmed!! We had the most magical day and if you choose Memorytown as your venue you will too!!!

Memorytown was the best venue for our wedding. I wouldn't change a thing. Lori helped myself and my husband throughout the whole journey, while we planned our wedding out-of-state ...
from Arizona. Lori always got back to us in a timely manner with all questions we had and finalizing before the final date. Lori is the sweetest person with her crew Curtis and Sam, etc. Curtis my dad raved about from the first day he met him and loved his helpfulness and personality. Curtis wheeled us around on the gold chart in the cold weather to get every shot our photographers wanted and just was amazing! Everyone on site from reservations to the people running the office to the Water's Edge was amazing and helpful! All in all, great pictures for a perfect fall wedding like we always imagined.
Love,

on and vibe. Never did anyone make us feel pressured or sold on anything but what we needed to make our day perfect- and it was! We took Lori's word for it that the food would be amazing, and it far exceeded our expectations! The grounds were beautiful and ideal for all of our friends and family to stay in one central location and turn it into a Pocono weekend adventure. Lori had a medical emergency day of and even still was present day and night to ensure everything was running smoothly. The entire staff was helpful a courteous- Curtis gets an honorable mention, too. Everyone was thrilled with the amenities, the hospitality, and the value of the whole experience. For the price of this venue, it is top notch! Would absolutely recommend and book again. We can't wait to return to celebrate our one year anniversary!

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Weekend at Memorytown!
We had our wedding at Memorytown in Mt. Pocono, PA this past July, and it was everything we dreamed of—and more. From the moment ...
we checked in, we knew we had made the right decision.
A huge part of our amazing experience was thanks to Lori, the wedding coordinator. She is simply the best—professional, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. Over the year and a half we spent planning, Lori was always there: answering questions, offering advice, and suggesting top-notch vendors. She truly went above and beyond to make every detail perfect.
The entire Memorytown property is breathtaking. The grounds where we held our ceremony were stunning, and the barn reception space was rustic, elegant, and beautifully decorated. Our rehearsal dinner was not only delicious, but held in a refined, elegant room that set the tone for the weekend. The food throughout the weekend was phenomenal—every dish was a hit.
We stayed on-site for the weekend, and the cabins were charming and comfortable. The bridal suite was a dream—it included a full spa setup that even impressed my glam team! It was the perfect space to get ready and relax. The groom’s room was like a modern man cave, complete with a bar and cozy couches—stylish and comfortable for the guys to hang out before the ceremony.
We also hosted a morning-after breakfast, which took place in a cozy, country-style dining area and was the perfect way to end the weekend. On top of it all, the staff at Memorytown was pleasant, professional, and incredibly accommodating.
We truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re considering Memorytown for your wedding, do it—you won’t regret it. And be sure to ask for Lori. You’ll be in the best hands!

My husband and I are so happy that we chose Memorytown as our venue for our wedding this summer!
Lori was a pleasure to work with - so friendly, professional, organized, and warm....
She made the planning process easy and kept the day flowing smoothly! Her whole team was lovely. Lori even offered my husband and I a private space where we could relax for a few minutes to escape the constant activity of the day - this was so thoughtful! She really did everything she could to make sure that we had an incredible experience.
The property itself is beautiful! We were planning to get married by the Kissing Bridge outside, but the weather caused us to shift indoors to the Heritage Barn, which was also a very romantic and intimate spot. Lori and her team set up rows of chairs for the ceremony and then set up the tables again for the reception - it was like magic! We were still able to take photos outside at times throughout the day, and there are plenty of scenic spots to choose from.
Over 80 of our guests stayed on-site, and all of our accommodations were charming and comfortable. We hope to stay again one day!
The food was delicious! The meals we offered for our reception dinner were steak, chicken ballotine, and butternut squash ravioli (my personal favorite). Desserts were provided by Sonia's Sweet Inspirations, through Memorytown, and they were delicious too!
We are so glad that we chose Memorytown and couldn't ask for a better wedding weekend. Thank you, Lori!

The minute I toured this venue I could picture my entire wedding weekend there. The weekend was perfect. Everyone staying in the on-site cabins the night before for rehearsal was a...
blast. The Bridal Salon and groom Buck's Lounge were the perfect getting ready areas. The food ordered from Memorytown while getting ready was delicious. We had inclement weather all day and I was nervous I wouldn't get to have the outside ceremony I always envisioned, but Lori and her team kept us posted every step of the way and the weather held out just in time for the Ceremony. The Kissing Bridge Ceremony area with its Forest and Lake background was the perfect location. The Vintages Wine Cellar cocktail hour was extremely cozy and the hors d'oeuvres were great. I cannot say enough about the Heritage Barn Reception area. I had guests tell me they teared up when walking in because it was that beautiful. We were even able to have our after party in the Glamping Tents area in the woods. We truly had the best day of our lives thanks to the amazing Memorytown staff and our coordinators, Lori and Curtis. I cannot stop replaying the day in my head. If you are thinking about booking your wedding here, DO IT!

Our wedding at Memorytown went better than I could have ever imagined. I had a big work project the week leading up to the wedding and I felt all over the place as a bride, but Lor...
i and her team had thought of all the little details, from reserved signs on the seats to wayfinding. The team was so friendly and helpful, and really helped make our wedding one to remember.
On top of this, the price was very reasonable and the locale was just gorgeous - we got several compliments from our guests on the atmosphere. Having catering + the cake included as part of the venue also made things run smoother (the food was absolutely delicious!). The guest accommodations were comfortable and clean, and we also really enjoyed the included night for the couple at Memorytown's honeymoon cabin.
Would definitely recommend Lori and the team at Memorytown - they are truly wedding experts. In fact, I have a coworker who's looking to get married in the NJ-Philly area, and I've already told him all about Memorytown!

From the moment we toured Memorytown, we absolutely fell in love! Lori and her team were phenomenal every step of the way. The food, drinks, and service were all 10/10 truly excep...
tional. Memorytown offers everything you need to make your wedding day perfect.
We loved the convenience of having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one beautiful, centralized location. The Vintages, where our cocktail hour was held, was stunning, and the Heritage Barn took our breath away with its romantic greenery and lighting.
On the day of our wedding, the weather was unpredictable, but Lori and her staff went above and beyond. When we decided to hold the ceremony outdoors, they worked quickly to secure the arbor and provide umbrellas for our guests. Their calm, professional presence helped everything run smoothly, and the sun even came out just in time it was magical!
The on-site accommodations were a huge bonus, and our guests really enjoyed staying right on the property. The bakery they partner with was amazing as well the cake and desserts were delicious!
Lori’s attention to detail and dedication made our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend Memorytown to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an outstanding team to bring their vision to life!

This is a copy I sent to Lori, the event coordinator!
“ Please know that we are so grateful for you (especially you! you really took care of us!), your service, your staff (Curtis ...
the bartenders and servers) , and all of the intricate workings that made "our" event for our only daughter a tremendous success! Jake and I can't believe how seamless everything was, and there was not one thing that disrupted our special day! From the vendors, to the cake, and the dinner, everything was amazing! Even the weather decided to cooperate as the day progressed! Our friends and family had such a wonderful time and have complimented the event, as the most fun wedding ever! Thank you again and again! Somehow I missed the entire cocktail hour with regard to seeing and eating the buffet; but I relished the passed horderves! I hope Katie took pictures of it inside! I would publish a review anywhere you'd like, 5 Stars! ”

From start to finish, they were organized, meticulous, thorough and most importantly, thoughtful through every single step of the way. I couldn’t imagine having had this huge part of our lives celebrated anywhere else and I’m so happy we chose to do it here. If you’re considering having your wedding here you are 10000% making the right choice! Love you Lori!!! Thank you all for a spectacular weekend - it is one we truly will never ever forget

le price! There are so many positives with this venue. Between the excellent food choices (even for people who have dietary needs), the honeymoon suite, onsite rooms for guests to rent for the night, a large library of decorations to help with center pieces, two barns to choose from for the reception, and having the ceremony right infront of a beautiful lake right next to their ‘Kissing Bridge’, you really can’t go wrong here! Our wedding coordinator was so helpful with any questions we had and keeping us on time the entire day! She was constantly checking in with both parties to make sure we were okay throughout the entire day! We can’t wait to go back for our first anniversary next year for a weekend to celebrate!

We got married 10/18/24, and could not have had a more perfect day! When I say every little thing was perfect, I mean it. They set up my memorial table, favors, card table etc, all...
perfectly and stylish. The table settings were stunning, and every guest we talked to could not stop raving about the FOOD! Everything was absolutely delicious! We had the most perfect fall day, with gorgeous weather and got stunning photos with all the fall foliage. All the staff were super nice and very professional. There was not one singular thing I would change about our day! I cannot recommend enough having your wedding at Memorytown! Also, our rehearsal dinner at their restaurant The Waters Edge was impeccable, with delicious food and amazing service. They also specially made my cousin and nephew an allergy friendly dessert, which we had not even asked them to do. They really go out of their way to make every guest happy! Thank you Memorytown for the most magical day of our lives! Xoxo

Our wedding and our wedding reception was beyond perfect. Memorytown and Lori Porter and all their staff were incredible, from listening to understanding what we were looking for ...
and what we wanted. I fell in love with MemoryTown as soon as we arrived the feel of the venue and the beautiful scenery and they have two different size barns on the property ours was the gorgeous Heritage
next to the lake with cabins. Perfect! And Lori walked us through the whole process and explained everything to us from beginning to our big day. The venue is incredibly beautiful and the food is amazingly delicious. Our cabin was perfect. Lori was very knowledgeable and help with information with everything from Bartenders and Food Choices and appetizers to Bakery, Florist, DJ, Hairstyles to Makeup. Great service, food amazingly outstanding hospitality. They all welcomed us and treated us like family. Both of our families and all our friends said this has got to be the best Venue/Wedding they have ever been to or attended. Absolutely a perfect place to have your big day.

I had a 20 page document for the day of to make sure everything went as planned, but when the day came and went, I was so focused on enjoying the day that everything would have went out the window if it wasn't for Lori keeping everything on track. She was there every step of the way and always so responsive to my emails and requests. It also down poured the whole day of our wedding and it didn't ruin a single thing. The rain accommodations they have still made for the best pictures. If the location doesn't sell you for your event, the amazing staff there will definitely sway you. Thank you everyone at Memorytown for making our day so memorable!

She went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and it was. The day went smoothly, even though there was rain right before our ceremony! Lori communicated with us the whole time and her and her crew were able to get the ceremony site dried up so we were able to have our wedding outside. From start to finish, Lori was there for every single part of our weekend making sure every detail was perfect. The food was amazing all weekend. Dinners at the reception came out flawlessly. The staff were all attentive and on top of everything. All of our guests couldn’t say enough about how amazing and magical our weekend was. The Heritage barn is beautiful for a reception and the orchard barn was such a cute spot for our other events. Our photographer had so many good photo ops on the property. I seriously wouldn’t change a thing about our entire weekend. I’m still on cloud 9!! Highly recommend memorytown if you are looking for a unique and beautiful barn-style wedding!!

Memorytown is a quiet rustic but elegant reception venue. We had our reception here this past Saturday December 14, 2019 at their vintage wine cellar & Heritage Barn venue. If yo...
u want Stroudsmoore Woodgate but want personal attention Memorytown or Tavern by The Lake is your resolution. When looking for a venue as a couple make a list of your wants & do not wants. We wanted a rustic venue with great appetizers and the ability for the venue to accommodate diet or allergies restrictions. Lisa Johnson the venue Coordinator & Anthony Maula was able to accommodate us. We had gluten free, vegetarian, onion & coconut allergies restrictions for some of our wedding guest. Also Memorytown accommodated setting up our reception & allowing us toarrive a day before the reception. If your looking to have a venue that has good food such as chicken with walnut stuffing that's was warm to the touch and delicious to eat with a semi-glace sauce to compliment the taste with you palette. Additionally; Memorytown does a consultation about linens and knapins layout with table runner. While you might not think this is important color, lighting is important to get the right mood and atmosphere for your guest. We had navy blue linen table cloth with ivory napkins and burlap lace table runners. We also had vintage lanterns provided by Memortown along with wooden blocks for table numbers. The best part was when Lisa Johnson helped us to cut our cake without anybody realizing that we were nervous. Lisa has a sophistication about the approach of the wedding venue that her staff is attentive to the bride & groom but also the guest. I needed help with my garter belt & the strings broke Anthony Maula's sister came to my rescue and make sure I was ok. So when we picked our venue for our reception we wanted great food, ample parking, accomadation for guest, rehersal dinner, and a after party. Memorytown was the venue for us because the Event Coordinator Lisa Johnson was able to paint a picture and fulfill that promise. The Tavern by the Lake is quite tranquil and the kissing bridge is beautiful. If your into chickens meet a few of them on the property. If your still thirsty for a Yuengling Lager or glass of White Zinfandel wine they have a Tavern on their property great for after parties. We enjoyed our wedding and look forward to our new adventures. Thanks again Lisa Johnson Venue Coordinator & Anthony Maula Owner for an awesome adventure on our wedding day.

Our September wedding at Memorytown was everything we could have hoped for. Lisa and her team made sure everything went off without a hitch, and we had the rustic, barn wedding of ...
our dreams. The food was amazing, everything from rehearsal dinner to brunch on Sunday morning, and having our family staying in the cabins on the property was the icing on the cake. We definitely recommend Memorytown for anyone looking for an intimate, rustic and unique wedding!

Good venue for low maintenance couples.
The venue and all the facilities at Memorytown are beautiful (despite the somewhat hokey name). With onsite cabins and accommodations, a be...
autiful large reception barn, bridal salon, three ceremony spaces to choose from, and a tavern/bonfire for the after party, the site made it so easy to relax the day of the wedding knowing we never had to get back in a car or limo once we arrived the night before. The venue gives great quality for the price you pay per person. The social media presence is confusing with old pictures of rodeos/pig roasts (they don't do rodeos anymore), and doesn't highlight the real beauty of the site, but its there and is worth the visit to see in person. Every time we visited we were pleasantly surprised, having forgotten how beautiful it was.
The coordination leaves something to be desired. All the weddings, events, rooms, cleaning, and staff are managed by one person, who is definitely doing too much. The coordinator didn't instill us with a ton of confidence throughout our planning period and we went into the wedding weekend knowing we couldn't really count on the attention that you get at other venues (but pay for with a higher price tag). Several times during the night the staff and coordinator seemed frazzled especially during dinner, and unfortunately not just in the kitchen but in the reception space. All the guest in that area could see and hear the coordinator getting frustrated about missing meals etc. We had to take a deep breath and tell ourselves it was not our problem. They need a larger prep space to be able to handle these issues behind closed doors and not in front of guests.
The venue was inflexible with certain things, like only offering 3 food tastings the entire year (all on tuesdays). We only had two tastings available before our date and live 2 hours away, so we had to take time off of work early to be able to make it. For the rehearsal dinner they want you to pick only one food option for everyone, which is not the norm for any rehearsal I've ever been to. That being said after some back and forth confusion, they did accommodate three options if you can provide counts in advance.
The lack of communication wasn't huge enough to cause big problems and by and large the day went smoothly. But there were several little things throughout the planning and the day, like there was confusion where our band was apparently supposed to eat dinner during cocktail hour, but this was not communicated to anyone, so when dinner arrived the band had to take a break twice as long as planned because their food wasn't ready for them and then they were shuffled across the street to eat in another building.
Overall if you're a low maintenance couple (this is key!) looking for an all weekend site to host friends and family for your wedding, this is a great choice. People loved the venue and told us how much fun they had. But that said, don't expect the attention and coordination support that you'd receive from more formal wedding venues because you'll end up very frustrated. The serving staff, bartenders, etc. were all very friendly and attentive, and always made sure my husband and I had enough food/drink/apps throughout the night.
I wish there were a choice between the lukewarm 3 star "pretty good" and four star "fantastic!" Our wedding day was the best day of my life, but our experience at the venue experience was good-very good.

r a wedding in the woods - check out Memorytown! Lisa was great to work with especially since most of our communication was via phone or email since I now live in Georgia. We also had our rehearsal dinner in the Tavern behind the barn as well which has been renovated beautifully and the view of the lake is gorgeous. The bridal salon was a last minute add-on but ended up being such a useful space for the day - highly recommend! The day was perfect and I now can't imagine having my wedding anywhere else! Thank you!

When we first came to the property we loved the idea of having the whole terriotory to our friends and family for the weekend of our wedding. The barn where the reception takes pla...
ce is beautiful and the food at the tavern bar on site was tasty. We were theilled to find a barn venue that does catering onsite and that we could afford.
The manager, Lisa, is a direct person who has the answers and is open with the information. She is great, experienced, knowledgeable and sweet. However, is pretty much alone to run all the weddings, so be a little patient with getting answers ahead of your time if you are a control freak. She will provide you with the planning information according to the monthly schedule, and will try to answer questions if they are way too early in the year.
Anthony is the owner, who met with us 2-3 times. His goal is to leave you happy and accomodate your desires, and see how to make the crazy ideas possible if you have any. Our wedding was Russian-Ukrainian theme, which we didnt know how to make possible, with vodka shots and caviar being a big part of it. Anthony met with us and our moms to discuss things and compromised with us on our cultural needs and meet us half way, something not all venues would do.
We only got to see the beauty of the place two months after signing the contract, when the snow melted from the lake and glass. The views are the biggest plus to the venue and the photos that we just got from our photographer are stunning. There are a lot of spot to explore for romantic, family and bridal party shoots.
The tasting that we attented before the wedding was very crowded and we were a little scared that there will be not enough food at the wedding, or that the quality might be low, but the portions were just fine. I only got to eat my salmon at the end of the reception and it was very good. I cant say much about other food as I didnt get to have any and none of the guests mentioned a word about it.
The one thing I was dissapointed to find out was that the wine at the bar is low quality boxed wine. The rest of the bar is standard shelf, nothing fancy. But we were able to pay extra to get higher shelf wine and whyskey bottles.
We chose to do decorations, flowers and a few other perks on our own. We were able to set up the day before, as there was no event planned. That released a great deal of stress.
Our ceremony went flawless, with Lisa being there for us at all times to make sure everything goes right. The reception was just perfect as well, which as a bride I was surprised about, as you should always be ready for a few things to not go according to plan. But again, everything went smoothly and beyond our expectations.
After the wedding, the venue set up a bonfire for us by the lake and left it up to us to turn down when we were done continuing to celebrate at 4:30am.
The venue let us pack up our decorarions the next day without any stress.
We are very thankful to Lisa and Anthony for the wedding they helped organize for us.

We had our wedding at Memorytown on 9-8-18 and it was just as I had imagined. Anthony, Lisa, Jeannine and all the staff were a delight to work with and made everything from plannin...
g to execution a breeze. Weather came in to play, and the Memorytown staff handled everything with respect, and consideration and turned, what we thought was a ruined day, to something truly magical, and more than we could have ever hoped for. There will be bumps in the road. That we can guarantee, but you are in fabulous hands with Anthony and Lisa. Our guests genuinely said this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food and the wait staff were also highly praised by our guests. Also, the cabin included for the night was fantastic, clean, and welcoming. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone at Memorytown. See you next year on our anniversary!

This was absolutely the best day of my life. Anthony and Lisa did a fantastic job of making sure that my husband and I received the wedding of our dreams and more.
The grounds ...
are breathtaking. It was the perfect rustic venue for us. This property is so well maintained and is getting better by the day!
Everyone who attended our wedding keeps telling us how amazing our venue was and how fun the wedding itself was!
I would highly recommend this venue to anyone! It is so beautiful and they are so accommodating. Anthony is the owner of the venue and he is so laid back and down to earth and will do whatever he can to make this day the most special day of your life!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with my wedding at Memorytown. The lake is a centerpiece of the property, but it is full of beautiful spaces for photographs ...
and for guests to explore. We loved both the Orchard barn located next to a small apple orchard and the Heritage Barn which was larger and we ultimately chose for our venue. The downstairs wine cellar was a beautiful space for the cocktail hour and guests were free to wonder outside and view the lake and property. The head wedding coordinator at Memorytown, Lisa, was extremely accommodating in dealing with the last minute change of ceremony location. Lisa, the head wedding coordinator, was our coordinator from day one of planning and had been extremely helpful. We were very happy with her. We also live outside the area, so we loved the little cottages on property that our guests were able to stay in, and we also stayed on site and used the included "get ready room" for the bride and bridal party and moms which was really nice. The staff (bartenders, waitresses, bus boys) were extremely nice and helpful. The night ends with a bonfire on site, which our guests loved! We also hosted a farewell breakfast at the cafe which is part of the venue, and it was beautiful and had a wonderful selection. There is also a grill restaurant on the lake that is a great place if anyone needs a meal between events or stopping in for a drink.
We cant say enough good things about our experience! We loved it! Have your wedding here!!!

My husband and I had decided to get married in a barn and we didn’t want to settle for anything that wasn’t authentic. We also wanted a venue where people could stay onsite, and Me...
morytown fit that criteria to a T. The venue setting is gorgeous; there are so many places to choose from to get married on the property itself. Their onsite accommodations are perfect; rustic yet classy, and they are continuously expanding and upgrading them.
Not only do you get married and gain a family but the people at Memorytown become part of your family as well! Lisa is a true miracle worker. She’s a Jill-of-all-trades and never stops until your satisfied. She answered questions lightning fast and made time for me to come there day or night. I walked in with a laundry list of questions/requests a month before the wedding and she was so accommodating! Our actual wedding day she was everywhere, keeping people on schedule and making sure things went incredibly smooth. The entire staff was wonderful, the food stellar (my guests are still talking about the Brisket) and the ambiance of the property made it a perfect day all the way around.
A few things to know about the venue and services: I didn’t mind because I’m a Project Manager and wanted control over most of the details.
Decorations – if you want other decorations then what they have/provide you’ll need to bring them and set them up yourself and take them down the next day. We loved that so we could start with the basic Orchard Barn and make it our own.
Bridal Suite –There isn’t a traditional bridal suite - you can pick a room/cottage to get ready in and pay for it in addition. You can get a “snacks” plate brought it, but it wasn’t worth the $, so we brought our own food and drinks.
Tavern – it’s not open all days/nights in the winter (Fri/Sat night really). Which means you’ll need to find other means for food, there are plenty of places around.
Overall we had an amazing experience at Memorytown and would recommend it to anyone who wants that truly rustic wedding venue.

I never did end up having my wedding here, but I did go through the reservation, payment and planning experience. My review is based solely on my taste and expectations of a weddin...
g venue. If you are looking for something DIY, rustic then this is your place.
My fiancé and I booked Memorytown for our wedding which was going to take place this Sept. The venue truly is beautiful but I think the originality of the locations kind of blinds you and you don't realize what what you aren't getting for the price you are paying. The following are the reasons we decided to cancel our reservation at Memorytown even with our loss of 6,000 that is non refundable since they ask you to make monthly payments.
1. There is no bridal party service for you should you be getting photos during cocktail hour. They will provide the bride and groom a "plate of food" but your bridal party gets nothing.
2. All children regardless of age are charged full price. We had 20 children under the age of 21 and as long as a place is set for them, they pay full price, 162 per child for my wedding. They don't give you an itemized bill either to see how much your food vs bar will be.
3. When we originally visited, I asked if the dance floor could be up towards the front of the barn because I thought it was awkward being on the side. I was told yes. Upon my second my second visit, I was told no. This would have been an original deal breaker for me had I been told no originally.
4. You set up. You take down. All they do is set up your table and chairs. You have 5 hours prior to your wedding and one hour after.
6. No signature drink options. I'm paying 162 a person. You should give me whatever I want.
One bar in each place
Not handicapped accessible with the exception of having to drive people from the bottom of the barn to the top.
Memorytown did answer all our questions and was timely with responses. We were not refunded any of the 6000 we paid per the contract but we were lucky enough to find another venue (a country club none the less) for 8k cheaper who offers all the missing things Memorytown doesn't supply.
Everything seemed very complicated for the bride and I started to become overwhelmed with all I would have to do. If you want complete and total control over your wedding then have at it.
I found out through my experience I wanted a little more professional venue with more experience and better amenities.

SIMPLY..... Incredible! My daughter had her wedding there this past August. As soon as we first visited there was absolutely no question!! The grounds at Memorytown are beautifu...
l and a true example of the beauty that is held in the Pocono Mountains. Breathtaking scenery, the landscaping so colorful and evident of 'fine-tooth' care; the barns - as there are two - beautifully structured inside and out. My daughter chose the larger barn - and its rustic elegance which was what she was aiming for. ~~ Planning was like planning with family ~ with Lisa, the Event Planner; and Anthony, the owner. They were there every step of the way . What is more and most important is they were 'true to their word'. We talked about things, explained what we wanted - and they made it happen. We started planning a year prior and were always given time and consideration at meetings, tastings, etc. Again, their main goal was to please us in every way they could. The venue grounds in their entirety were a combination of fun - elegance- and 'home'. ~~~ The food was the best! Cocktail hour - held downstairs in the big barn where there is a rustic feeling with wine barrels and warmth. You walk up two steps and there is a fireplace, piano and more seating for guests. As my husband and I entered the area - we were immediately approached by some guests on how tasty everything was - and how many different kinds of food there was. ~~ Dinner --- upstairs in the barn - I cannot even begin to describe the portions, the taste incredible --- and the service making sure everyone was served together. ....The servers - as well as all the employees of Memorytown - were so professional and so kind and accommodating to all of our guests. We had many professional people at our wedding - and take special notice of these very important points - and made sure to tell me. ~~ The food portions were abundant - and all that we were told would be and then some. ~~ The barn was kept at a perfect cool temperature which made it very comfortable. ~~ My daughter was married near the Newlywed Bridge - on the side of the larger barn. Surrounded by tall trees - background of the pond - and the wedding aisle being a walk down a pebble roadway. It was beautiful and wish we could go back and do it again.... it was so very special and we will always be thankful for the friendship we have developed with Anthony and Lisa ---- and for the incredible love-filled memories that they gifted us with ---- at this incredible place. Thank you! You must see Memorytown in person to feel what we felt .

My daughter and son in law recently got married here in Memorytown. When my daughter first told me about this place it sounded like she was getting everything she and her husband w...
anted. You would have never noticed that they originally planned to have everything outside. Due to weather both the ceremony and cocktail hour had to be moved indoors and it was absolutely beautiful. All of our family and friends were impressed with the venue, the food, and everything down the tiniest detail. They spoke very highly of how everything came together. Being the mother of the bride all you hope is that your daughter gets everything she wants on her big day and Memorytown gave her and her husband exactly that. A BIG thank you to Anthony & Lisa for being there every step of the way... from the beginning... to dealing with my daughter visiting every other weekend... to the very end letting everyone continue their evening in the onsite tavern. It was an amazing day.

y truly do everything to ensure you get exactly what you want for your special day. Unfortunately, our wedding was supposed to be outside by the apple orchard. Due to weather conditions everything was moved inside... including our cocktail hour. This did not affect our day by any means, in fact we received so many compliments on how beautifully everything was done. I'm a control freak, I like to know the specifics of everything. However, on the most important day of our lives I was able to let it all go and truly enjoy myself. Everything went so smoothly I could not believe it ended so quickly. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful scenery, owners and managers who truly care about what you want and need for your special day, great food, cabins/rooms on site for guests and an all around great time. Thank you for giving us something truly wonderful to look back on for our wedding day.

ns on site was awesome for close family and those who flew in and didn't have a car with them. The rain didn't stop us from having a beautiful day and we moved everything inside. Food was great, scenery was beautiful and Lisa and Anthony were amazing. They were quick to respond and we're at the wedding every step of the way. Even though we couldn't have the bonfire afterparty because of rain, we're were able to move in to the on sitelevision tavern for more drinks and some amazing food. The burgers and fried were delicious! Not overly priced either. Overall I would say not a thing went wrong on memorytown's side and all the guest's were amazed and pleased with the level of detail in the property. Awesome!
