Historic Acres of Hershey

r of our own. The property itself is also very large which was great for having our entire ceremony and reception there but not having to reuse the same spaces over and over again. After dinner we were even able to open up the doors of the pavilion which allowed guest to enjoy the party inside or play games on the lawn. The farmhouse was the perfect getting ready space and I would highly recommend staying the night before to make full use of the day of.

know. They provided different options for situations and were very professional. The only thing was that they were very particular about how things can be done. Even though my rehearsal was the night before my wedding I was not allowed to set up or store a single decoration on the venue until the next morning. My choice of vendors had to have certain qualifications and their choice of vendors was expensive. Overall it was a beautiful day and they were wonderful.

d the reception hall built of beautiful glass walls and striking wood beams is so vast and magical! Even better, the staff at this venue is so friendly, professional, and thorough! My husband and I got married here back in May of 2022 and our wedding guests are STILL raving about how wonderful the venue was. Our guests (and us!) loved that there were so many beautiful spots throughout the venue for guests to socialize all day and all evening, each area with the most perfect photo backdrops. This venue truly checked all of our boxes (and then some!) making our wedding day so flawless and fun. Love, love, love!

enomenal!! They are by your side through the whole process to answer every single question and most importantly make sure all your dreams come true for your big day. We cannot rave about this venue enough.. We had our dream wedding and then beyond that! We would choose Historic Acres of Hershey every single time!

stayed in the farmhouse which was so beneficial and beautiful. The event director was so helpful and answered my hundreds of questions. I would highly recommend Historic Acres of Hershey!

, polite, quick to reply, and supportive. We met the owner Kevin at the original walkthrough and he was also friendly and helpful. Our guests loved every inch of the property and we wouldn’t have changed a thing about the venue. The pictures don’t even do it justice. If you’re looking for elegant, rustic, stunning, than you don’t need to look anywhere else. There are SO many great photo spots, the farm house is immaculately kept. I could go on and on. I wanted to move in, I loved it so much. The best place for our day.

weekend! The grounds and facilities are just gorgeous! We have received so many comments from our guests about how stunning this venue is! In addition to the awe of the beauty of this paradise, the Owners and Event Directors were out of this world! Melodie and Katie, the Event Directors who worked directly with us, were absolutely amazing! Personal story....I was so anticipating having our ceremony outside in front of the pond, and me, the bride, being able to walk down the elongated steps leading from the Farmhouse to the ceremony site. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had different plans for that. Melodie and Katie were so compassionate, understanding, and professional in guiding me to the decision to move the ceremony indoors to the Barn. Thank goodness they did, as it poured at the time of our ceremony at 4 PM. As much as I didn't want to have our ceremony indoors initially, the ceremony in the Barn was absolutely stunning! It provided us with the most intimate and passionate ceremony that, in looking back, I wouldn't want it any other way. So Brides, do not be afraid of the rain! The Reception Hall is absolutely beautiful and can accommodate a large crowd. There was plenty of eating, drinking, dancing, laughter and love in the Hall all evening and night. We purchased the fire pit option outdoors, which added an extra special ambiance to the evening! We stayed at the lovely Farmhouse for our entire Wedding Weekend! The Farmhouse, like everything else on premises, was just stunning! In addition to providing beautiful spaces for the Bride and Groom to get ready, it provided us with an amazing background for pictures, and a comfortable space to enjoy family and friends. When we left Sunday morning, I cried having to say goodbye. I would highly recommend Hershey Acres of Hershey for all of you Brides and Grooms to be! We fell in love with this venue, and would do it all again there, hands down! I'm so thankful that I have beautiful photographs to remember our most special day there. Thank you, in particular, to Kevin, Melodie, and Kate, and all of the amazing staff, for making our day so spectacular! Special shout-out to Erin and Johnny at Philter Photography for the amazing engagement and wedding photos, Bridget at Rhapsody in Bloom for the most beautiful flowers, Rettew's Catering for the delicious food, and Elysian for the day-of coordination. You guys all rocked! If you are looking for a live band, please consider Bachelor Boys.....man, do they know how to throw a party!

ie were so professional and were very responsive in answering any questions we had. From the first tour, final walk through, and wedding day you could tell the staff is so good at what they do. ALL of our guests were so impressed with the venue and I really hope someone I know gets married here in the future so I can experience the magic all over again! (PS if you have the availability to rent the farm house the night before and after the wedding DO IT. My bridesmaids and I stayed there the night before and it was just so perfect to be able to wake up and be at our "getting ready" location.) I have nothing but great things to stay about Historic Acres.

are also lots of exciting features that the venue offers to add on for an additional price such as the fire pit, string lights, and an overnight in the farm house. Our guests loved the fire pit and my bridesmaids loved staying in the farmhouse the night before the wedding.

r on the patio... it allows for everyone to have fun!! The reception hall is SOOO big and people raved about how beautiful the venue was. And you have to stay in the farmhouse!! It is beautiful and makes you feel so special on your day.

at the edge of the property and both knew this was the venue for us. It's beautiful and very well laid out. It's private and secluded but still located conveniently close to 283 and Hershey. We liked working with David and team at MX2 as well as Katie and Melodie at Historic Acres. We'd recommend getting married here. There's so much to like about it.

ls stay in the BEAUTIFUL on site farmhouse over night, followed by an indoor barn ceremony and pavilion reception, and finally be able to stay on site the night of! Historic Acres offers such a variety of options for all of your events. The property manager and event coordinator were amazing with their communication from start to finish. Highly recommend this venue!

ly to all questions and concerns and were just so supportive. And it is truly a gorgeous venue. More affordable than many similar venues. Perfect if you want a rustic barn feel but don’t want the sounds and smells that come with an actual barn. It’s like a sophisticated yet rustic design that is sure to wow your guests!

nvenient.

love! We knew this was going to be the place we were going to get married. We met with Melodie and booked our date! Everything about the process was smooth and easy. Melodie and the team at HAH were incredibly helpful along the way; answering any questions we have and working with us to postpone when the pandemic hit. When we were able to start planning again, we started working with Katie; who was equally as wonderful to work with! When we finally had our special day, it couldn't have been more perfect. The girls all stayed at the beautifully remodeled farmhouse and got ready there the morning of our wedding. The guys also had an awesome den to hang out in and get ready. We were able to take our photos and have our first look outside but it rained at the start of our ceremony. HAH's indoor option was picture perfect. Stone wall backdrop in a restored rustic barn. The main reason we loved HAH was because of the reception hall. Massive ceilings, gorgeous chandeliers and windows/doors that opened on both sides. Despite having to postpone our wedding due to covid, it was the absolute best day of our lives! Thank you for everything Historic Acres!

was such poor communication throughout the whole planning process between the venue and my wedding planner (which was through the venue). This place is great for your typical (white) American wedding, but I seriously think the team needs diversity training. They were very unaccommodating to Indian/Desi traditions, which is all fine an dandy if you clarify before the wedding day. One very very important tradition to me was to have a rose petal enterance, which I discussed multiple times with Melodie and Katie. I even specifically asked if fresh rose petals were okay to use and mentioned the rose petal enterance during the final walk through. They tell me 2 hours before my wedding starts that throwing rose petals is not allowed. I cannot explain how upset I was, but I kept my cool and didn't even complain even though I had to forgo many traditions as this venue doesn't really cater to non-white weddings. Many in my family do not speak good English and I emphasized that things maybe difficult to explain to them. Yet they didn't even try, let my family be confused about clean up, didn't even call me, and took our deposit. If you have any sort of non-white, non-traditional wedding, I highly recommend going elsewhere that is more diversity friendly.

this past July. The entire team was always accommodating through the entire process, but when our day finally came we could not have been happier! It was everything we had been dreaming of and more. Guest after guest told us how beautiful our venue was and people loved the option to either be inside dancing or outside playing yard games. Historic Acres truly is the perfect blend of rustic and industrial and the service you get is second to none. Thank you to the whole Historic Acres crew!

oor options for the ceremony and the farmhouse on site was also beautiful. Katie and Melodie were also very helpful with vendor choices (particularly the caterer) as we were having an Indian fusion wedding. Would recommend to everyone in search for a venue!

to have back up plans, while maintaining social distancing and the occupancy limits set by the CDC. Not only did they make us feel safe, our guests felt comfortable attending and everyone stayed healthy. Aside from Covid, this was our dream venue. Once we saw it, we knew it was meant to be. It has a beautiful outdoor ceremony location and a just as beautiful back up plan for rain in the barn. The venue is not only stunning, but the grounds are clean and immaculately kept. The reception area is just as I envisioned and Katie, along with our planner David from MX2, made my vision a reality. Katie was always on top of my emails, professional, responsive and helpful from day one. Lastly, we had the farmhouse on-site that we rented for the weekend. The farmhouse was huge and allowed us to all spend the weekend together. The ability to rent the farmhouse is the perfect addition to the venue. Our family and bridal party expressed so many times how nice it was to be all in the same spot and not traveling throughout the busy day. We had several hiccups on our big day, including 60mph winds and a power outage during our outdoor ceremony, but everyone worked together and made it work. I have no doubts that the only reason our day ran so smoothly, along with the hiccups, was because of our venue and vendors. We are so thankful we picked Historic Acres and will cherish all the memories it brought us. Thank you!!!

detail is un-parrelled they update every season and add something new. With all the greenery and flowers on the premises it really helps to cut down on the florist budget. My wife and her bridesmaids stayed in the farm house the night before which is an amazing idea since they are able to be on site early to get started. The house is beautifully furnished, and fits the theme of the location.

. Both were very responsive and made certain that our big day would be special! The grounds at HAH are beautiful. Our ceremony was in the barn, which is very rustic with wood beams and brick-work. And the pavilion for our reception was simply stunning! Our guests took advantage of the outdoor fire pits to roast marshmallows. If we had to do it over again, we absolutely would have our wedding at Historic Acres! Thank you so much for making our day a success!

responses. I am truly happy we chose this venue and knew I wanted it to be our venue as soon as I walked on-site.

ue and they do an amazing job of keeping it beautiful through landscaping, planting, painting, cleaning, etc. The bugs were really bad for our rehearsal and they made sure to spray for bugs right before our wedding to keep them away. I couldn't have been happier working with them for our wedding.

toric Acres gave us. Once we decided to use Historic Acres for both our ceremony & reception we started working with Melodie. She was there at a drop of a hat to answer any crazy questions I had no matter what they were! Melodie did more than we could've asked from the day we booked, up until the day of our big event. Close to our date we started working with Katie as well, she was just as helpful & answered any crazy questions I had. Our catering company gave us a couple issues with payments & such, but Melodie & Katie "took over" and made sure it all got handled so I didn't have to stress about making sure that the catering company paid the money that was due to Historic Acres the day of. The day of the wedding we needed to start earlier than what we could get in to the house, the girls at Historic Acres allowed us to use the reception barn to start hair & makeup until the house was ready, which helped us out so much. Our wedding ran SO smooth & we couldn't have asked for a better day thanks to the amazing staff at Historic Acres of Hershey! Mr. & Mrs. Long

ht before our wedding for myself and my bridesmaids. It was great to wake up the morning of my wedding and already be at our venue. Everything about this place was perfect for our wedding day. It was extremely clean, well landscaped, and there was someone one site all day. We received so many compliments on how beautiful this venue was. Words truly cannot describe how thankful we were to have chosen Historic Acres of Hershey. We would recommend this venue to anyone in a heart beat!

ted. You never know what you're going to get with weather so having an indoor option was essential to us. We luckily were able to have our ceremony outside on a Sunday morning. The reception area is so beautiful with the chandeliers that we needed only minimal decor for indoors. It was incredible. I'd be happy to get married there again any day !

reason we fell in love with this venue is it has everything. A picturesque lake with pergola to marry in front, wonderful outdoor cocktail hour space right outside an old barn, perfectly manicured outdoor lawn with thousands of flower and blooms, and not to mention the rustic, chic reception space with to-die-for chandeliers and cozy fire place. All of our guests are still raving about this venue. Besides the gorgeousness all this entire venue, the staff is so accommodating and easy to work with. I did not have one single issue or problem, which as a high stress bride, was very welcomed. If you book Historic Acres, you will NOT be disappointed! I cannot recommend more!

me we booked it until our wedding day, there have been so many more improvements with the beauty of the space. So many more plants were planted, a new brick walkway was installed, etc. What won my husband and I over was the Pavilion - you go into it thinking it will be an empty barn but NO - the ceilings are lined with gorgeous chandeliers with a beautiful fireplace for a sweetheart table to sit in front of. Once you book with them, you feel like you are the only people they are working with. We have never felt like we were overlooked and were always welcomed by our first names when we visited from time to time. They also have a fantastic list of preferred vendors who we used for our caterer and wedding planner - WELL worth it! Our friends and family are used to country club/ballroom venues but we were given so many compliments about the beauty of this venue as well as how smoothly everything flowed. My husband and I continue to talk about how amazing our wedding day was and we keep talking about how wonderful everything turned out. Melodie was so helpful throughout the process and her friendly smile will surely win anyone over! Thank you everyone for all of your hard work and making our dream come true!

ite made things even easier for us as we were traveling from out of state. The location is the best of both worlds as it has an updated barn for the reception venue and a gorgeous historic farmhouse to get ready in along with beautiful grounds for the ceremony and pictures. We also took advantage of the quaint and adorable Coop building for our rehearsal. We received so many compliments from our family and guests on the location and couldn't have been happier with our choice. So thankful for all the staff and how our perfect day became a reality.

live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and a lot of our guests didn't understand why we chose Historic Acres but as soon as they saw it they knew exactly why - we received so many compliments! Our photographer, who had never been there, was even looking forward to shooting our shots at HAH! Not only were the grounds beautiful but we also admired the farmhouse that was available to get ready in, the chandeliers in the Pavilion, how many guests it could hold, and how it had a plan B in case of inclement weather! I highly recommend Historic Acres of Hershey for any event or celebration!

can relax. The grounds are wonderfully kept, even after all the rain experienced in Hershey this summer. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

lown away by the Pavilion! I could not have been more happy with our choice in venue.

ng outside, but as a bride, it was comforting knowing if it rained we had a fabulous second option – the barn. We also rented the farmhouse for the weekend, which I would highly recommend. It was so convenient to be able to get ready onsite and have a place to relax before the ceremony. Not to mention the beautiful photo ops both inside and outside the farmhouse. Our guests also appreciated the convenience of all the wedding events taking place at one venue, and it made for a seamless day, going right from the ceremony to the cocktail hour and then reception. We really could not have picked a more perfect place to have our wedding!

lawn, but also wanted a secure indoor space to escape the heat (our wedding was in June!) and/or rain (which it did end up raining for a bit). We were nice and cool, which our guests so appreciated! The property is beautiful and the barn is so elegant. We couldn't have asked for a better setting for all our family and friends to celebrate with us! Also, Melodie and Katie were great to work with. They answered my many questions promptly and put us at ease as the wedding drew closer. They were professional and organized, and touched on details that make seasoned wedding vendors must-haves in the planning process!

ic Acres was because of the beautiful barn that we could married in if there happened to be inclement weather on our big day. We ended up needing to get married inside due to flooding and rain and having that option took away a HUGE amount of stress. We had no reservations whatsoever to make the safe call to get married inside. We loved working with both Melodie and Katie who happily answered all of my emails about anything and everything over the last few months. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and all we could tell them was we fell in love with the entire place also. Our photographer even said she thought this was one of her favorite venues to photograph so far! We have absolutely nothing but love for Historic Acres and the entire package that we received that helped make our wedding day a dream come true.

uests were stunned by how beautiful the place was! I would highly recommended for a modern/ rustic/ romantic wedding theme!

house, the Corn Crib, the Ceremony site, the patio, and the AMAZING Reception hall. The chandeliers are something out of a dream. Each place we toured on the property just made our hearts more and more full. To top it all off, they have the sweetest Venue Manager EVER. Melodie was so easy to work with and accommodated any way she could. She always had a smile on her face and was always willing to go the extra mile to answer any questions, recommend vendors, and calm my frustrations. Thank you so much, Historic Acres, for making my Wedding the best day of my life!

bridal shower was hosted here as well and everyone raved about how beautiful the shower was! Great staff and great venue!

ult to find a venue that didn't charge us an arm and a leg to have a celebration for 60 people. Melodie was beyond helpful with that. Since the wedding was so small and we didn't need most of the things that come with their wedding packages, she allowed us to do more of an "a la carte" and rent out only the spaces we needed by the hour. We ended up having a small wedding ceremony under the corn crib, and having our reception in the barn. It was the perfect space for us. Enough to hold our 60 guests, and have a dance floor, DJ and Photo booth! There are also endless photo spots outside. It ended up raining during our photos, but i'm not even worried because even in the rain the scenery there is gorgeous. When we arrived to set up in the morning, the tables and chairs were set up exactly like the diagram they sent me. Melodie and Katie were available all day to answer any questions I had, and get me anything I needed. THANK YOU so much, I truly appreciate everything you guys did for me and am SO happy I chose Historic Acres!

to work with and beyond helpful. The day of our wedding went smoothly and everyone keeps telling me how beautiful the venue was. It was perfect and I could not be happier :)

we got to the property we knew it was going to be where we would say I Do! The staff is so friendly and always willing to answer any questions you may have. The grounds are impeccable and the reception space is so gorgeous, you don't need much decor! Our guests had such a wonderful time and many said it was one of the best weddings they had been to. If guests didn't want to dance, they could mingle outside and enjoy the evening. We also rented the farmhouse for the night of the wedding for us and our wedding party and it was the best thing we could have done - so worth it and our bridal party had a blast! The venue was perfect for us and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Historic Acres of Hershey for being SO GORGEOUS!!

I had along the way. Her and the new staff member Katie are just wonderful! We planned our wedding from out of state and everyone was very flexible with our less convenient situation. Communication with Melodie is always timely and friendly! Even when I was there in person to plan out our ceremony and reception layout, she saw how stressed I was and reassured me everything would all work out (and it did). She is so sweet! Something so important to consider is RAIN. I swore it wouldn't rain on my wedding day, there was just no way. Well, it did. Thankfully, Historic Acres has a beautiful indoor ceremony space, so you don't feel like you missed out! Whatever venue you choose, make sure their rain plan is doable. They also have so many perfect spots to take wedding pictures even if it rains (awnings, balconies, and their corn crib). The reception space is my favorite part. The floor-to-ceiling windows (that are actually doors!) create a stunning space, along with their chandeliers!! The venue definitely has rustic features but overall, it is very elegant. Also, this place is made to be a venue. It's not an old barn repurposed to be a wedding venue. This is SO important when you consider space for your catering staff, adequate number of restrooms, A/C, lighting, and handicap accessibility! They have anything and everything to make your day perfect (ask about the farm tables!) and were a dream to work with.
