Where to begin! The Historic Acres of Hershey is picture perfect. We had set up three venue tours while planning and the Historic Acres was our first. Within 2 minutes, my husband ...and I knew this was the place. There was no need for the remaining two tours because this was where we were getting married. Coming from an area with a lot of wedding venues and nothing to fulfill my dreams and desires of a perfect wedding space, I was looking for two things. First, climate control! Hello AC! Barn weddings are beautiful, but we all hate them in the Summer, barely able to eat your food because you’re dying of heat exhaustion. Second, natural greenery! Plants and greenery are all the rage right now, but I didn’t want to have to pay for them. Historic Acres has you covered with the most beautiful landscape and ample variety of places on property for pictures. You could not want for more!
Not a single guest had a complaint, with many of them saying it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been too. Katie and Melodie were incredibly easy to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process. I felt as ease knowing I could step back and everything was going to run smoothly.
We were incredibly lucky to be able to rent the Farmhouse on site for the night before and night of the wedding. We were able to get up on the wedding day and have hair and makeup done on site while enjoying breakfast and getting ready for the day. I could not be happier with how the day turned out.
If there was ONE thing I could “complain” about, it would be the fee for not using a caterer from their preferred caterers list. I understand the reason for having preferred caterers and wanting to ensure the people coming in know what they’re doing and how to use the facilities, I just didn’t understand the cost. We paid it without hesitation, but if there was something I was a little less fond of, that would be it. Everything else was absolutely wonderful!
Thank you, Historic Acres!
