Historic Acres of Hershey

reat 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.

ry 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.

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!

swer 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!

The event director was so helpful and answered my hundreds of questions. I would highly recommend Historic Acres of Hershey!

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.

ve 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!

y 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.

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.

tion 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.

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.

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!

d 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!

t 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!

ss 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.

h 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!

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!

he 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!!!

g 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.

ould 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!

d it to be our venue as soon as I walked on-site.

ndscaping, 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.
