Historic Shady Lane

HSL was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding in June! All of our guests commented on how gorgeous the venue was. HSL were super helpful throughout the whole process and it was so nice having the two houses on property to get ready on! HSL was also not only helpful leading up to the wedding date but also on the day of. They worked great with my DOC and Caterer! I highly recommend HSL for your wedding!!

We got married at HSL on June 7th, and it was the most perfect day. We could not have gotten married at a more beautiful, spacious, and photo-friendly venue. HSL has many ceremony sites to chose from, that all have their own incredible views. We got married at the Rose Garden, and the pictures of the ceremony site are to die for. The Greenhouse was the most stunning site of them all (in my opinion) and so very unique to this venue itself. Our guests loved having cocktail hour in and around The Greenhouse. For the reception, the tent HSL provides is incredible, and you have so many options and space to organize all of the tables. Caitlyn, the venue coordinator, was tremendous to work with, and was very quick to answer any and all emails/questions we had for her. I would one million perfect recommend HSL to anyone looking to get married on the east coast. This venue is breathtaking, and you will not find one similar to HSL in PA and surrounding areas.

I cannot speak highly enough about Historic Shady Lane and it’a staff. My husband and I knew as soon as we pulled onto the grounds that we would get married there. We were greeted by Caitlyn who instantly made us feel welcomed. She was available at any time throughout the entire time we were engaged. The staff keeps the grounds spectacular. The day of ran so smooth. We had a beautiful sunny day and so enjoyed every single bit of it. I couldn’t even begin to think of anything else they could have done for us. 10/10 recommend from every single angle. We wish we could go back and relive our experience/special day again and again. Thank you thank HSL and staff, we are forever grateful for you!

Historic Shady Lane in Manchester, PA, is the most beautiful venue I’ve ever seen! Our wedding was truly magical, thanks to the breathtaking surroundings and the impeccable service. The venue is serene and free of any disturbing noises, allowing us and our guests to fully enjoy the day. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and have a great time. The golf cart services were a thoughtful touch, ensuring that guests who needed extra help could easily get around. The staff were all super helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. We worked directly with Caitlyn, who was incredibly responsive and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our special day. Highly recommend Historic Shady Lane!

Historic Shady Lane is the most beautiful venue I've been to and I'm blessed we could have our wedding here this Spring! Caitlyn was so helpful and kind throughout the whole planning process and the staff was amazing and so friendly day of. I'd recommend HSL to anyone looking for a venue for their wedding ❤️

Having our wedding at Historic Shady Lane was hands down the best choice for our big day!!! What an incredible team HSL has. I always felt so supported and taken care of by Caitlyn. The grounds are beautiful, and to have a venue where the rain plan is just as, if not more, stunning than the original plan is SO rare. The candlelit garden party wedding I have been dreaming about for so long was 100% brought to life at HSL, rain and all! People are still raving about the venue, team, and smooth-ness of our wedding and I will forever be grateful we were a HSL couple!

We loved this venue so much! We fell in love with it the minute we stepped foot onto it. We only looked at this one, in the middle of winter and it was still beautiful. They took care of all the set up and tear down for us. It was amazing but hard to choose from all their ceremonial options. Definitely look at this venue!

I cannot say enough to tell you what a wonderful, wonderful experience we had at historic Shady Lane were we had for our son’s wedding this past weekend. Everything was so professionally done and organized. The staff was outstanding. If you’re looking for an a venue that’s easy to work with. I highly recommend this one.

Historic Shady Lane was the perfecf wedding venue! From the start of the tour with Caitlyn prior to booking, we were instantly stunned by how beautiful the property is and how well taken care of it is. We only toured this wedding venue and instantly fell in love with it even though there was snow on the ground the day we toured as the property has so many beautiful features including the greenhouse! Historic Shady Lane has so many beautiful options for ceremony sites and has separate bride and groom suites for the day of to get ready which are both well equipped for the entire day! We were able to spend our entire day on site getting ready, the ceremony and reception and they provided golf carts for easy and quick access around the property. Caitlyn and the HSL team are very responsive and helped make sure our day ran so smoothly along with our day of coordinator team from Sapphire Road. We truly could not have imagined a more perfect wedding venue than Historic Shady Lane!

Historic Shady Lane was the most amazing venue for our September wedding. From the start, the team there is very responsive to all your questions and professional through every step. We had the most beautiful bridal and groom suites to get ready in, and every inch of the grounds was well maintained, providing a TON of options for you to have your ceremony and cocktail hour spaces. They will really work with you on any vision to help bring it to life. On our day, it unfortunately rained, but the HSL team was ready for it and didn't miss a beat.. They helped us have the most beautiful ceremony in our back-up location, which turned out to be so gorgeous. We feel so thankful that we chose HSL because we don't think our wedding would've been so wonderful had we gone with another venue.

My wife and I got married at Historic Shady Lane (HSL) in September and it was an absolutely perfect experience! For starters the venue is absolutely gorgeous and the property is very well maintained with many different choices for ceremony and cocktail hour locations (we were particularly fond of the Greenhouse Terrace with all of the hydrangeas). We were going for a garden party theme and HSL delivered on that vision perfectly. In addition to all of the beautiful outdoor locations, there was also a beautiful bridal suite for the Bride's party to get ready and a cool and relaxing den for the Groom's party to hang out and get ready. The bridal suite was incredibly open with a ton of natural light which was perfect for taking some of the best photos imaginable. The cottage where the bridal suite was in featured a ton of spots for photo opportunities all around the house. In terms of logistics this venue also delivers from the minute you book it to the end of your event. Throughout the entire process Caitlyn, the Venue Director, helped us every step of the way. She was responsive to questions and helped make all the planning and little details that much easier. The venue staff were incredibly helpful and made the day go smoothly (they even had golf carts so we could get around the property quickly and easily). Booking HSL was the best decision my wife and I made for our wedding and it truly helped the entire vision come to life. If you are reading this and are on the fence, I would say book it! There is truly something for everyone here. There are so many choices for ceremony location and different packages for to fit different budgets that I think any couple would be overjoyed to get married here. Thanks so much to Caitlyn and all of the staff at HSL for making our day truly unforgettable.

We got married at Historic Shady Lane. The property is absolutely beautiful and the staff is wonderful and so helpful and kind. I am so grateful for such an amazing venue and team, especially Caitlyn!

I got married in May 2023 at HSL and I cannot say enough amazing things about the experience. My fiance and I had an almost two year engagement, and we chose HSL very early on in the wedding planning process. Despite having PLENTY of time, our early questions, wonderings, and worries were always answered promptly (even though I'm sure they were busy with various bookings). They provided a list of AMAZING vendors that worked seamlessly with the venue the day of our event. Caitlyn herself was always kind and beyond helpful. Wedding planning is so stressful, but her calm demeanor and her clear expertise made everything go smoothly. I had expected to be anxious, worried, and running around the day of my wedding, but Historic Shady Lane (and Sapphire Road day of coordination) truly made all of those worries disappear. The week of the wedding, I kept feeling like there should be more for me to do, but HSL totally had everything handled behind the scenes, so I could truly enjoy my wedding day AND the week leading up to it. If I did the whole wedding process over again, I would choose HSL again in a heartbeat. :) (and it goes without saying, it's the most beautiful venue, my guests are still talking to me months later about the woods, the gardens, the greenhouse, etc)

The staff was super professional and kind. The venue coordinator always went above and beyond my expectations to help with whatever was needed. She was so organized, down to earth, and there for any questions that you have. They truly make sure that your vision comes to life. This venue is magical and made my wedding day look like everything I had ever hoped for. I am so thankful I picked them for my wedding day!

Love love LOVE Historic Shady Lane venue! We got married there at the end of April and April did bring showers the weekend of our wedding but the venue staff made sure that everything was cleared and dried before our ceremony started. Our venue coordinator, Caitlyn was very attentive and answered all our questions in a timely manner! This venue is truly a dream with enchanted photo spots and a beautiful layout! Even the the getting ready spots were very spacious and accommodating! 10/10 recommend this venue!

My husband and I knew that there was something uniquely special about Historic Shady Lane from our first visit. Not only is the venue itself beautiful, but the kindness of those that work there is evident through every interaction. You can tell that everyone who works on site genuinely loves their job and is dedicated to giving you the most wonderful wedding experience. We would recommend Historic Shady Lane to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.

Our wedding at HSL on 5/20 could not have been more perfect! The venue, including bride & groom suites, were clean and well appointed. The grounds were lush and exceptionally maintained. The team was amazing and Caitlyn was quick to respond to any questions I had. We live on the west coast so she did a great job of making sure that I was able to visit the venue and do walk throughs when I was back east. If you are looking for a venue with a mixture of indoor and outdoor spaces I can not recommend HSL enough. Thank you Caitlyn and the rest of the team for making our wedding day a dream come true!

I can't say enough good things about Historic Shady Lane. We chose this as the venue for our wedding and it was absolutely incredible. Our venue coordinator, Caitlyn, was amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive, kind, helpful, and patient with my indecisiveness. On the day of they absolutely knocked it out of the park. We had ~150 guests, and everything from start to finish was well coordinated, organized, and allowed all our guests to relax and have fun. Everything on the logistics side went completely smoothly. The grounds and landscaping were absolutely stunning and we're still getting compliments from all of our guests. On top of that, it was raining the entire morning of our wedding. The Historic Shady Lane staff was fantastic in helping us get a Plan B together for rain showers, and being totally flexible with us as we were watching the radar the whole day. I know there was so much more work done behind the scenes than I'm even aware of. Historic Shady Lane truly made our fairytale wedding dreams come true.

Historic Shady Lane was the absolute perfect spot for our special day! Our wedding was on May 5th, 2023 and the day was gorgeous the venue was showing off all its greens and colorful flowers and it made it so easy to decorate because it was just beautiful standing alone.

Historic Shady Lane is an incredible venue that leaves you a gorgeous canvas to make a rustic, modern, industrial or garden party theme wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank because of the natural beauty built in. Caitlyn was one of the best parts of the venue from communication, ideas and golf cart service day of she's a total rockstar and we were so thankful to her for everything because it wouldn't have gone smoothly without her support. Book here for an incredible day even with a rain plan!

We first visited Historic Shady Lane for our friends' wedding and were in love with the property immediately. When it was time for our own wedding planning we knew we had to schedule a tour. We looked at a few venues, but there was never really any question we would be booking HSL. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, but still natural. Everything looks like it's out of a story book. Even though we had been to HSL for another wedding, there are so many options that we had no problem making the day our own. The spaces designated for getting ready made the morning so fun and convenient. There was more than enough room for everyone to get ready comfortably, jam to some music, and enjoy mimosas. The house for the bridal party especially made it easy to coordinate family members. Everyone on site was so nice and helpful. Communication was quick when we had questions and they provided us with some wonderful insight regarding vendors. I honestly don't think there is a more beautiful venue with more accommodating and helpful staff out there!

Historic Shady Lane is/was/will always be the most beautiful venue I have ever been to. A hidden gem that I am so glad we found. We were planning the wedding from afar - we live in California, my husband is from Ohio, I’m from New York, but we met in Pennsylvania. We wanted to go back to the state where it all started. We knew that the decision making and planning was going to be long distance… and I never expected how stressful that would be. The question soon became, “but where?”. The ask’s were simple, or so I thought. We wanted an outdoor venue, surrounded by ivy covered trees, a sprawling property with historical buildings placed throughout. If there was a greenhouse, that was an added bonus. This soon became an impossible search. Where to begin? I turned to Instagram and scoured through PA based photographers' instagrams to find inspiration. Just when I thought this method wasn’t working and that we’d have to resort to a wedding directory site… Historic Shady Lane appeared. Not only was it EXACTLY what we were looking for… it was more. They took care of everything - the tent, the tables, the chairs, the set up and breakdown. They had golf carts to help guests get to different parts of the grounds. They had spaces to get ready. The grounds are immaculate. The only thing you needed to do was make it your own - you chose the vendors, you made it “yours”. Just as every love is different, so is the look and feel of your wedding. I, personally, LOVED that. It would truly be OUR day. I knew instantly that this was the place where we would be getting married and it didn’t take much to convince my soon-to-be husband that this is where we’d be exchanging our vows. And with that, we made the decision. This next part will make anyone planning their wedding anxious. We put a deposit down… without having visited the grounds in person. Looking back, I would do it a thousand times over if given the chance to. It was one of the best decisions we made. The first time we visited HSL in person was 4 months before our wedding. How I wish I could relive that moment! It was everything we had dreamed it would be and more. We toured the property with Caitlyn and Mandy (our DOC). They stepped us through our day, and ran through so many of the details we (I) had been obsessing over the previous few months. There was no doubt in my mind that we had made the right decision. We planned everything from afar. To begin to tell you just how scary that is would not even begin to chip away at that kind of iceberg. It was terrifying! Enter HSL - the property director Caitlyn answered every question, soothed every doubt and stepped in to help at the last minute to help when some unexpected decisions needed to be made. Come the day of the wedding, the HSL staff guided and helped get our party and our guests get everywhere they needed to go. There was never a moment where someone was not available to help. Our day went on without a hitch. The act of getting married is nerve-racking enough… and to have a team of people behind you who do everything in their power to make it the best day ever for the two of you MEANS THE WORLD in your most anxious-nervous-excited moments. I can not thank the entire team at HSL for making our day the most perfect day. If you are thinking about having your wedding at Historic Shady Lane, stop thinking. It was one of the best decisions we made and we’d make the same decision if given the chance to do it all over again.

Our wedding day was PERFECT. HSL is honestly one of the best spots to get married. There are so many different choices of ceremony spots, it's honestly great. We chose the woodsy area and it was perfect. The HSL staff really takes care of the grounds here and everything else within it. To be able to get ready on site is also great. The bridal suite is very spacious. We love it there and all of our guest could not believe we found a spot like HSL. Thank you for making our day great.

Of course Historic Shady Lane lived up to its beauty on our wedding day. Everything was perfect from Caitlyn's help before the wedding to the 'day of' staff. HSL offers so many different ceremony sites and options for cocktail hour, decor, and reception it really can fit anyones style and give a timeless look throughout all the seasons. The bridal cottage and men's den amenities make for such an easy getting process as well. We love Historic Shady Lane :)

Historic Shady Lane was an amazing venue for our wedding: we were initially impressed during our first visit to the venue, even though it was a drizzly overcast day, it was immediately obvious how well the venue fit with the vision of our day. Throughout the course of wedding planning, the venue’s coordinators were more than willing to help us make sure that the venue lived up to our expectations for our day. The spaces provided for getting ready were fantastic, the ceremony space worked extremely well during our August wedding, and the greenhouse/patio and tent were excellent for our cocktail hour and reception, respectively. Historic Shady Lane was able to accommodate all of our guests and provided a fantastic outdoor setting (which was also great for COVID safety) that made our wedding day memorable and special, and we’d recommend this venue for others.

The moment we saw Historic Shady Lane we fell in love (so did our guests, they are still raving about it)! The estate is tucked away and the moment you enter it feels like you walked into a fairytale. Every single spot is picture perfect! The getting ready areas were incredible and able to accommodate our every need. They also provide golf carts which were amazing for us and our guests since it was so warm on our day. Caitlyn was a pleasure to work with, her and the staff at HSL were always very pleasant and helpful. We really loved the fact that there were so many ceremony and reception locations to choose from to completely customize your day to fit your aesthetic. With the help of the staff, the amazing locations, and the variety of packages we were able to experience a magical celebration that us and our guests will never forget! For that, we will forever be grateful.

Historic shady lane is a fabulous venue! They have so much landscapes that any area you pick will be a great site for ceremony and reception. The venue director is very nice and helpful however the staff used for our actual wedding day we’re not very inviting. The golf cart drivers were not pleasant or friendly. They appeared as if my wedding party and bride/groom asking for rides back to the cottage/ to the reception was a serious chore that they didn’t want to do. All of our vendors were amazing however the venue doesn’t provide any- you must find/hire them on your own FYI.

The most beautiful venue! We received so many compliments on how amazing the venue was from our guest. It was a perfect size with the various locations. They are very flexible to allow you to have your ceremony and cocktail hour at various locations at the venue.

Having our wedding at Historic Shady Lane was everything and more. We got married on 10/1/22 - the coldest, moodiest day of the year since earlier May haha. Despite the weather, the entire day was absolute perfection. The entire staff/team always made me feel so supported, made sure I was never stressed, and took such great care of us the entire day. This venue is absolutely stunning and our "rain plan" was equally, if not more, dreamy than the original plan. That greenhouse is pure magic. I cannot recommend booking HSL enough! It was a day from our wildest dreams.

We loved HSL! It was beautiful and we had the opportunity to truly personalize our wedding exactly how we wanted to. Staff were great and the coordinators they work with are amazing! (Gillian) I wish I can relive my wedding day over and over again it was perfect!

Historic Shady Lane was the absolute best venue we could have dreamed of having for our wedding day! Every square inch of the grounds is so well kept and absolutely stunning. Being able to have every part of our day at the venue made the day run so smooth and made me feel so calm as a bride. Caitlyn was amazing to work with and made the whole planning process so easy! There are so many different locations on the property to take photos and every single one is stunning! The tent was perfect for our reception and since it is such a blank slate we could make it unique for our day. All of guests commented how beautiful the venue was and loved the property. The golf cart staff was amazing on the wedding day, especially since it was so hot that it was nice not to have walk everywhere. Could not recommend Historic Shady Lane enough, I wish we could do it all over again!!

Historic Shady Lane was great to work with through the planning process and when the day of came everything moved seamlessly! The venue is beautiful, like out of a Pinterest board, and our guests loved it as well.

Historic Shady Lane is an absolutely stunning venue! I mean it looks like something out of a fairytale! There are multiple ceremony sites at HSL - all absolutely stunning. So many incredible places for you to take your photos at! The reception tent is basically a blank canvas ready for you to put your unique twist on. We had a fusion Indian/American wedding which meant a lot of moving parts, 2 ceremonies and more. Caitlyn and her team at HSL were up to the task, so easy to work with and thorough in prepping for our wedding. We got so lucky with the weather, but the team was totally prepped for a rain plan just in case. Everyone we interacted with on the day of was so nice! We were thrilled to have had our wedding at Historic Shady Lane!

Hi, Caitlyn (Venue Director) The wedding day was perfect, thank you! The venue was wonderful, and all of the vendors helped create everything (and more) that my daughter had envisioned...it was a fantastic celebration enjoyed by wonderful family and friends! Many guests commented that the grounds of the estate were beautiful, and it was the most unique and creative venue they had ever experienced 😀🎉 Your time and help throughout this process is much appreciated. You were great at lowering the stress level of the mother-of-the-bride and that was vital to all of our success! Thank you again for a tremendous experience from beginning to wedding day, and for the use of your wonderful facilities and grounds at Historic Shady Lane ❤

This venue is just something out of a dream!! Aside from the totally gorgeous setting, the team was amazing to work with throughout the planning process - super accessible and responsive to any questions we had. And they were stellar on the day of - everyone we interacted with was incredibly helpful and such a pleasure to work with. We were unsure about rain on the day of and even though we lucked out with great weather, the team was ready to execute a rain plan if needed. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our special day.

Our wedding day was absolutely incredible. The venue was everything we ever dreamed it could be; whimsical, green, lush, expansive and versatile. Everything was well kept from the cottage where we got ready, to the grounds, greenhouse and reception tent. Our guests kept commenting how incredibly beautiful our venue was and we couldn’t agree more! The staff and Caitlyn, the director, were friendly, accessible and always there when you needed them. So thankful we were able to have our wedding at Historic Shady Lane.

Historic Shady Lane was absolutely a dream location for our wedding on 10.17.21. Bradania responded quickly to all emails and helped me plan everything perfectly! The venue helped transport grandparents who couldn’t walk through the grass and set up all the chairs and tables for us! The venue was stunning and the staff were amazing to work with! We will recommend them to everyone!

Historic Shady Lane is such a gorgeous venue. What we loved most about the venue was that it was outdoors. The estate has so many different sites that you could utilize. From the rose garden, the greenhouse, the woodlands, and the band stand, you can create moments based on your style. The other aspect that we loved so much about Historic Shady Lane was that it is so versatile. You literally can customize everything for your wedding. We were able to pick out every detail we wanted from getting ready, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. They also have a recommended vendor list which is great since we are from out of state. We still did our research but used a lot of the vendors recommended. We all had an amazing time at Historic Shady Lane and I hope to be able to visit for an anniversary or maternity shoot!

The only redeeming quality of this venue was the beautiful and picturesque grounds, architecture, and greenhouse. Where it is lacking is professionalism and management. When we picked this venue for our day, the staff couldn’t be more welcoming and hospitable. We were given a tour of the grounds and a description of what all would be provided on our day. We were so excited that we booked our date and paid in full a year and a half in advance. Once COVID came, we were a little nervous leading up to our July date. Come May, we realized that things were not going to be better by our July date. We organized a call, expressing our concerns of the virus, the health and well-being of our guests, and the inability of our out-of-state/country guests to attend (Including 2 bridesmaids, 1 of which being the bride's sister.). We had booked this venue for 250 people, and at that point, only the county that the venue is in was allowing gatherings of up to 250 people. We were told that we would have to pay another full deposit if we would like our date moved unless it was on a Wednesday or Thursday the following year. The owner chose greed and politics over the health of our guests. He said that "You will be happy that you had it now instead of postponing,", and that "People will be excited to get out and have a good time". The venue assistant started crying on the phone, saying that we don’t know how hard it is for them right now, and that the owner could lose his house because it was on the venue property, even though the property brochure indicated that property was purchased many year prior to it being converted into a venue. They compared a venue date to an airplane taking flight with empty seats. We understood the missed revenue opportunities, but it was a poor analogy because flights were grounded at the time and the airline companies assumed the risk, not the passengers. The venue owner passed the risk off to us. My wife has one living parent and one living grandparent. She buried her grandmother the Wednesday before our wedding and her grandfather was walking her down the aisle. The fear of him potentially getting COVID from our wedding was a very real emotion for my wife. 60 of our guests were unable to attend due to COVID travel restrictions. The owner of the venue even made a point to come talk to us, on our wedding day, stating “It looks like you were able to get a good turnout” without congratulating us on our wedding day. It felt more like rubbing salt into a wound. He was not someone we wanted to see or speak with on our wedding day. When speaking with other COVID brides and grooms, none of which had any problem rescheduling their dates to a later time with their venues. When looking back on our wedding day and viewing our pictures, we do not have the joy and beautiful memories we should have, but only sadness, anxiety, and discomfort. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for your wedding venue.

Historic Shady Lane is a dream! So many locations to have your ceremony and the cottages for the bridal party to get dressed in are phenomenal! The staff was friendly and helpful and coordinated with the other vendors. HSL does required that you hire a day of wedding coordinator from their preferred vendor list which I was really against having at first, but it turned out for the best so that on the day of the wedding everything ran smoothly and I did not need to worry about small details.

HSL is an amazing place to have a wedding. The wedding party can get ready on site, have the ceremony on site, AND the reception on site. It was so nice having everything right there. The estate is absolutely beautiful - my love for fairytale garden, woodsy, and boho truly came together!

WOW. This place is truly amazing. Not only is it the most beautiful venue, but they ran like a well oiled machine on wedding day. The venue director was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, and the staff on the day of executed everything perfectly. Anytime I needed to go anywhere, the golf cart was ready for me! I loved that they had so many ceremony locations to choose from, and the property is kept absolutely immaculate. All of our guests were raving about how beautiful it was. So so pleased with this venue, would recommend to anyone!!

Historic Shady Lane was a dream come true. The venue was my dream venue from the beginning but everything about this venue and everything that comes with it was beyond perfect. Every spot in the venue is gorgeous, the fact that I could have my ceremony in the woods, and the bridal cottage and groomsmen den were great space to have. Everyone was so helpful and I couldn't say more good things about it. Worth every penny!

From the moment I first stepped foot on the premises of Historic Shady Lane I knew this was a venue like no other. They say if you can picture your wedding day coming to life then it’s the place for you. And even though my husband and I visited in March when nothing was in bloom we could still see the beauty and we knew this was the perfect place for our wedding day. Bradania and the whole HSL team were phenomenal! They worked with us every step of the way and Bradania answered all of our questions promptly. Every single one of our guests were in awe of the beauty of the site. They all said this was the most beautiful wedding that they’ve ever been to. We wed in July and even though it was a hot summer day, the cool shade of the trees kept us all comfortable. If you want a dream wedding like no other, then this is the perfect place for you!

We got married at HSL last week and it was truly one of the best nights of our lives. We were able to chose a package that worked with us (their micro package for 50 people) and it was perfect for us! We used the greenhouse all night and it felt absolutely magical. Bradania and her team were able to execute our vision perfectly and our guests all raved about how beautiful the venue is!

I am still so unbelievably ecstatic that I got to get married at Historic Shady Lane! What drew me to this venue was all it had to offer in terms of ceremony spaces, cocktail hour space, reception space, and let's be honest, it's straight up beauty!! I loved that we got to choose from over 4 different locations on site to have our ceremony. The venue is huge and there is golf cart service from the parking to anywhere on the venue for guests, which everyone loved. And wow, I have never met someone so dedicated, organized, and truly sweet as Bradania. She helped us through the whole venue process and gave us a pamphlet of info about everything we never knew we needed. She was the icing on the cake for us choosing to get married at Historic Shady Lane. We got so many compliments about our choice of venue from our guests. I would highly recommend getting married here!

Historic Shady Lane is the most beautiful venue that I have ever seen! I knew during my first visit that HSL was where I wanted to get married. From the beginning the staff was kind, knowledgeable, helpful, fun and professional! I can’t imagine having had my wedding anywhere else. Not to mention, walking through HSL is like a fairytale! From the elegant rose garden to the magical reception tent, my husband and I felt like our wedding was going to be so beautiful! We couldn’t be more thankful for everyone at HSL who helped us plan for our big day, and coordinate with us when we decided to postpone due to COVID. If you are looking for a gorgeous and versatile venue for your wedding, photoshoot, engagement, etc. then please please please visit Historic Shady Lane! Thank you for making our wedding a day to remember!

Our wedding day at Historic Shady Lane was complete magic. The natural beauty of the venue speaks for itself. You are encompassed by the beauty of mature trees, open land, and the stunning greenhouse and patio on the property. The cottage is quaint and spacious for the day of to get ready in and the reception tent opens to a gorgeous view that features every angle of the venue. The day ran smoothly and exceeded all of our expectations. The staff was kind and patient with us and getting carted around in golf carts for our photos was an added bonus. From the start of the booking process that lead to having to reschedule our original date Bradania made it a seamless process for us. Bradania was very attentive and accommodating to all of our needs. She was patient with us in the wake of the pandemic and was on the ride with us. We could not have asked for a better venue and team to work with. It was a bittersweet ending to a crazy season and we are so incredibly thankful for Shady Lane. They truly are everything and more.

My husband and I first toured HSL in May 2018, two years before our May 2020 wedding. I worked in the wedding industry in the Pittsburgh area for years and was absolutely blown away by HSL and we left our tour knowing we had to book our dream wedding here. Fast forward, we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. Bradania could not have been more supportive. Both my husband and I worked in public health and she was so helpful as we navigated the difficult decision. We knew with his schedule as a frontline worker we didn't have much availability for postponing, but they made sure we found a new date in May 2021. Our wedding was truly a dream come true. It was better than we could ever imagined. I look at our photos now around our home and I have a pinch me moment. The entire team didn't let a detail go unnoticed and went above and beyond. We had so many compliments from our guests (most from out of town) on how magical HSL was. The owner also went above and beyond going to get a highchair during dinner for our 1yr old ring bearer and interacting with our guests and vendors. We will be forever grateful for HSL. Thank you for helping our dream come true (finally)!

An outdoor wedding in mid July is a bit of a crazy idea, but Historic Shady Lane still made it not only comfortable, but beautiful! Even a thunderstorm couldn’t keep us from having the most amazing day. Bradania was extremely helpful, organized, and responsive. The property is beautiful with tons of amazing amenities. The cottage and den were both comfortable places for our bridal party to get ready and hang out in before the ceremony. The reception tent is spacious enough for you to make all of your design dreams come true and still have room for all of your guests to dance the night away. I would absolutely recommend HSL to anyone looking for a beyond beautiful property to have their wedding or celebrate their nuptials.

The absolute most beautiful venue ever! I am SO thankful that we chose HSL for our wedding venue. Bradania was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and on the day of our wedding, the entire staff was amazing. They were so helpful in transporting the wedding party and the guests around in the golf carts. I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience with Historic Shady Lane, and will be forever thankful for this venue for making my wedding day the most perfect day of my life. 100% recommend this dreamy, beautiful, woodsy, elegant venue!
