Linden Hall

hey all take great pride in their work. Rachel kept everything moving smoothly and corresponded promptly to emails & calls.

ut a detour. No Planner/Event Manager has ever done this before. When I arrived the day-of she was present & so helpful. She made my set-up which was extensive but easier. I appreciate this beautiful venue for a romantic wedding outside of the city.

on there and as a family, over the years, spent a lot of time there having dinner or just driving around to see the property. We got engaged on New Year’s Eve 2019 and my now husband mentioned about checking out Linden Hall to see if they had availability for 2020. I reached out and Rachel and she said they had only two dates available in August. So, we met with her, checked out the spot for the Tent and decided that's what we wanted to do. Then Covid hit.... We thought we would be ok being that we had booked for August. Rachel was amazing through everything and we kept in close contact with the ever changing rules and updates. Sadly, we ended up about a month before the wedding date cancelling our reception there. Rachel was so gracious and understanding and we still felt that we wanted to have some part of wedding there. We talked with Rachel and planned to have our Rehearsal Dinner in the Outdoor Bistro Area and they knocked it out of the park! They gave our guests such a great experience even with having to social distance, mask up, etc. Rachel planned small group (under 25 people) mansion tours prior to the dinner and it was a hit! I make a disclaimer that we did abide by the Covid Rules. Our guests thought everything about the evening was just fantastic. Knowing my husband’s love for the property, they tried to make sure that we did still have the Linden Hall Experience since we weren’t having our reception there. I was able to have beautiful pre-ceremony photos getting dressed as the bride and we had our formal photos taken there after the ceremony. I really can't say enough about Rachel, Tim and the Staff at Linden Hall. Through all of the changes, restrictions and everything Covid threw at all of us, they really went above and beyond to make sure our day was special. We just adore Rachel. She is truly a sparkling light of happiness and makes the planning experience so easy and so much fun. We would highly recommend anyone to pick Linden Hall as their venue. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Rachel for everything, YOU GIRL, ARE AMAZING!!

ove and beyond to make sure your day is perfect for you. The ceremony garden is beautiful and overlooks the golf course which allows for some great picture opportunities. The tent is a great size and is very adaptable with Covid regulations so you will still be able to have a sizeable guest list for your event. The food is top notch. I ordered the Chicken Piccata and loved every bite...that I had time to eat! The mashed potatoes were also extremely good! They also set up 3 bars so there was never a long line and the selection was great. We had the rehearsal dinner on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, and then breakfast for everyone who stayed overnight on Sunday morning. It is truly a weekend getaway which makes it even more magical. I can confidently say that if you book Linden Hall for your wedding you will not regret it.

sending me detailed responses to keep me at ease. I knew throughout the entire process that we were in the best hands. Not only was she there every step of the way, but she also had so many sweet surprises planned for us on Saturday. She set up several pictures of us throughout the venue, and decorated the mansion for cocktail hour with the most precious decorations that felt so tailored to our relationship. I couldn't have imagined a wedding weekend without Rachel. We love her!!! Okay, let's talk venue.. I truly felt like a QUEEN getting ready in the mansion. Every room is decorated beautifully. The fireplaces, crown molding, and vintage feel made for an unbelievable setting to get mentally and physically ready for the ceremony. Rachel even had mimosas ready for us when we arrived! The guys got ready in the old bowling alley, and the pictures are honestly badass. The ceremony was located in the garden, and the views were perfect in the fall. The walk down the aisle is a long one, but I think that helped me to really take everything in, especially on the way back up with my HUSBAND!! We hosted our reception in the tent. With Covid - this was a life saver. Two of the tent walls were opened which felt great on the 75 degree day! There is also a lot of piece of mind with Linden Hall's heating / cooling system, so even if the day wasn't as nice, we would have been covered! We had plenty of space, and with three bars set up, our friends and family never had to wait long for a drink! I will say, it is a lot of white space - definitely plan to have your florist work their magic on the ceiling of the event space! We used Linda Brown Florals and I could have cried at the results - Kylie is a beautifully talented, sweet human that we love SO MUCH! The serving staff was wonderful - special shout out to Dawn, she was the sweetest! Dinner (what I had time to eat of it) was phenomenal - I will recommend the salmon until my last breath. We can't wait to have anniversary dinners here for years to come. The best part? It wasn't even over on Saturday! Sunday morning, we had breakfast with all of our guests that spent the night. This was a perfect way to get in some extra one-on-one time with guests that live farther away, and wrap up the weekend. My husband and I cannot stop talking about how perfect it was - we wish we could go back!

reat friends at Linden Hall.

ence was it felt like an all inclusive resort. We arrived Friday for the rehearsal and stayed until Sunday where the wedding felt like it continued at breakfast where all the guests who stayed joined us for breakfast. Rachel and all the staff where wonderful, professional yet treated you like family. I highly recommend this venue. It was truly a fairytale wedding.

our special day. She coordinated with all of our vendors for us and made sure everyone was on the same page. Not mention Linden Hall was beautiful and the perfect venue. I would highly recommend Linden Hall, Rachel and the entire staff. It was perfect and will leave us with a lifetime of amazing memories!!! Jeremy R

t was our first venue we looked at and we didn't want to see anything else. We immediately fell completely in love and knew this was the perfect place to start our forever. How could it not be? It had everything we were looking for.. outside ceremony space, on-site catering, on-site bar, a motel for us and our guests so no one had to worry about driving and a back-up plan in case the weather wasn't great.. but the best thing of all was the mansion. Rachel and her staff have done a phenomenal job at keeping that place just as gorgeous as when it was first built. We received such amazing reviews from not only our family and friends but our photographer as well. There are so many fabulous spots for pictures that it became so hard for us choose! The food was also so incredible. The prime rib and lobster bisque is something so delicious you haven't lived until you've tried it. But let me also gush about the wedding coordinator, Rachel. She became my lifeline throughout my whole wedding process. I've called her close to tears some days because I was so stressed and she immediately calmed me down. She was nothing but helpful and informative the entire time we planned together. She helped with things I wasn't even thinking about and I'm so glad she did because she made our wedding that much more special. She truly loves each and every one of her couples and wants nothing but the best for their special day. If you're torn between venues I hope I've been able to help sway your decision with Linden Hall. It truly is a hidden gem and I hope I'm lucky enough to be able to go back and experience it all again through a guests' eyes.

ant wedding reception in the area, Linden Hall must be your first choice.

y photo/video captured. The wedding coordinator, Rachel Swink, is also AMAZING!! She goes above and beyond for each of her couples and makes the day run perfectly. She makes magic happen!! We will always have a special place in our hearts for Rachel & Linden Hall! We look forward to visiting on our anniversary in 2020!!

od was AMAZING from start to finish. The staff is incredible and communication is top notch. One thing I didn't realize when booking Linden Hall was how much more you get than just a wedding venue - if you have to plan a wedding, especially a COVID wedding, you 1,000% want to do it with Rachel Swink, Linden Halls event coordinator. Rachel made sure that there were as few disruptions to my original plans as possible, found me an available date within the same year to get married, made sure to keep our family and friends safe by implementing COVID safety guidelines that made me feel great about not pushing to the following year, and was just a support system through the whole process. Linden Hall is the most beautiful wedding venue in Pennsylvania and worth every single penny we spent. Thank you for making everything perfect!!

eviews; however, when someone goes above and beyond what is generally expected, it’s important that I let them know as well as others that their kindness and overall eye for detail is so greatly appreciated. RACHEL, now she is the GEM of Linden Hall! She is the most caring person that we had the pleasure of meeting throughout the engagement/wedding process. Rachel, has that “Yes we can” attitude that was so very much needed during the planning, re planning, and then re-planning again 2020 (COVID-19) wedding season. She kept it together for us when we were not sure we could anymore. I have never felt so comfortable picking up the phone and talking with a vendor as I have with Rachel. The professionalism, responsiveness, flexibility, and overall quality of service she provides for Linden Hall Brides (and Moms) is top notch! Yes, the venue (mansion, garden, view, tent large enough for our guests) is so breathtaking; however, the customer service (she really cares) provided by Rachel is what sold us on Linden Hall! My daughter gave me a cup that read “I Survived My Daughter’s Wedding” … I would like to add “Thanks to Rachel”. You have a friend forever!

embers fun facts about each individual person. Her positive energy and excitement was a very positive force in our lives. We have now had to cancel twice with Linden Hall due to covid-19 and they have made it extremely easy. They're reasonable people and as i previously said, they really do care about people. In times of high stress, it's comforting to know that you're working with kind people that really value you. I don't know when we will actually end up having our wedding but I do know that it will be at Linden Hall!

nues as well. But stop - and let me praise RACHEL!!! Rachel is absolutely amazing and Linden Hall’s wedding coordinator. She is a girl’s best friend to wedding planning and she will answer any questions you have or help you brainstorm. She was such a help that the words immense, amazing and wonderful seem an understatement for the assistance she provided me in planning my wedding. My husband and I threw a Disney themed wedding with fireworks at the end and it was truly magical. If you are looking to live out your own fairytale I HIGHLY recommend Linden Hall!

ugh of the beautiful grounds and views! I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone, it’s lovely!!

ssed by the details that the wedding coordinator, Rachel Swink, adds to make the venue personalized to the couple. She had pictures of us set up in frames, and everything was beautifully decorated. We had cocktail hour in the mansion, which was stunning. Our reception was in the tent, and was a dream! Food was amazing, and the beauty of this venue is unmatched!

ifesaver throughout the course of planning our wedding!!! She is so enthusiastic about her job and on top of everything that it made the whole process super simple! I would 100% recommend Linden Hall and Rachel to anyone that is considering this venue for their wedding!!!

not have to worry about a single thing the entire day! Rachel went above and beyond to make the venue exactly how my daughter imagined, adding personal touches everywhere! The BBQ rehersal dinner was perfect too! Everyone had so much fun, and I can't wait to see the beautiful pictures. I highly recommend Linden Hall for a wedding or any other special event!

thing my guests could not stop talking about). We had an incredible experience from start to finish and it definitely would have not been the same with out the wedding coordinator, Rachel Swink. She is FANTASTIC at her job and we loved loved loved working with her. She is so sweet, so knowledgeable about the industry and made planning with them the easiest part of the wedding. Recommend her and this venue 110%

the amazing Rachel and her staff. If I had to get married all over again I would do it the same exact way at Linden Hall. Our dreams came to life and I am forever dreaming about that day and that mansion! Rachel is truly an angel and the most bubbly, positive coordinator and if you choose LH you are in the best hands.

tude put us at ease, and made our wedding journey painless, effortless and a breeze. She treated each one of us with patience and understanding and always with a smile on her face. Our wedding was PERFECT because of all of Rachel’s added touches and expertise in all aspects of wedding details. I highly recommend Rachel Swink as your wedding coordinator. We will never forget her. She truly is a Wonderful person. We love her!! Donna Mrdjenovich

extremely accommodating! From the grounds, the ceremony garden, the mansion and the reception tent this place is truly amazing!!!! One of the best features of Linden Hall is Rachel!!!! She truly cares and goes above and beyond to make everything perfect!!!!. Her little touches are too many to list but added so much to the entire weekend. We were truly blessed to have her guidance. She was amazing to work with!!! Linden Hall is the perfect place for a beautiful wedding.

rest of the staff made our day/weekend! The food was beyond amazing and so was the staff. Our guests are still calling us and saying it was the “BEST WEDDING EVER!” We will be returning to the venue to visit and I recommend anyone getting married that wants their fairytale wedding, this is the place!!!! I will never be able to say enough great things about Rachel, Tim, and the venue itself, or how thankful we are for making our wedding so special and so unforgettable!

She is beyond personable and gave us a list of preferred vendors . The food, atmosphere, and staff were professional and personable. It was truely a fairytale outdoor wedding and we could not have pulled it off without wonderful Rachael. The men all golfed while the ladies enjoyed the pool on Friday . The rehearsal dinner cookout was perfect outdoor venue with delicious barbaque. We would not have changed a thing . Much gratitude to Rachael and entire Linden Hall staff for making it a memorable weekend. Last shoutout to Moios Bakery, Lendable Linens in Murrysville for perfect table coverings, Rosebud Floral for best flowers ever, TK the DJ for keeping the dance floor full the entire night. Also the staff did a great job in arranging our PITTSBURGH cookie table with hundreds of delicious cookies. We give Linden Hall a must visit venue for a fairytale wedding. Laurie Prenatt (mother of groom) July 6 wedding at Linden Hall

g our wedding was! The staff at the restaurant and bar were very friendly and did a fantastic job the day off the wedding! A million thanks especially have to go to the wedding coordinator, Rachel. She did everything in her power to help make our wedding the most perfect day ever! Everything was the way we wanted it! Everything was beautiful and seriously just perfect! Everyone was complimenting how amazing our wedding was! People told me it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to! Rachel seriously nailed it, and I can't thank her enough for her time and effort. Rachel treated us like we were the only bride and groom she was planning for, when in reality, she was handling multiple couple's for multiple weddings. She was always on the ball with answering my questions, and always was able to ease my mind when I was worrying about things!! She kept things organized and on time, which is something my husband and I really appreciate it. So many people talk about how they didn't get to enjoy their weddings (missed all the food, dancing, etc), but we got to enjoy it all! It's just a small thing, but I was so grateful that the wait staff held a plate of appetizers for us to have at dinner. it was nice to be able to taste all the food that was served. Thank you again Rachel and the wonderful staff at linden Hall for all the work you put into our day. It was the best day of my life and more perfect than I imagined. Thank you times a million!!

. She is top notch, without a doubt completely knows her stuff. Everything was to perfection and nothing left undone. She walked us through it all, over and over and eased my mind even up to weeks before the wedding. Our only glitch was we wanted the wedding outside and it rained. However, Rachel already had the mansion ready to go and we reviewed all of that at rehearsal. And for me, I thought it was better inside...the grand entrance the bridesmaids and my daughter made coming down the inside of the mansion steps was just breathtaking. Perfect wedding, perfect weekend in every single way. By the end of the weekend I wanted Rachel as my best friend. Just love her and everything about this place.

r was just as happy as we were and pleasant all weekend. The mansion and views Linden Hall has naturally made our wedding unforgettable. This is definitely a day I wish to go back too!! Thank you to all of the staff. You all are the best!!

. She took care of every detail and answered all of our questions without hesitation. She made it so smooth and easy to plan a wedding. If we could do it over again we’d choose Linden Hall every time . And you should too!

will be sold by how special Rachel makes you feel and how magical your wedding can be. She is exceptional!! She truly cares about you & cares about making your day amazing!! Very organized, responsive, but also very talented! If you only had her taking care of your wedding you’d have an awesome wedding... but with Linden Hall you have so many more talented & dedicated workers. The wait staff, motel staff, security, & grounds crew were incredible and so helpful!! They treated us & our guests like royalty! I could not imagine any other facility treating us all with such attention & kindness!! If you want a wedding that people talk about for years have it at Linden hall. The beautiful, historic mansion is not only a statement on its own, but adds such unique elegance to a wedding. Our ceremony & cocktail hour was held at the mansion. Our guests loved all the beautiful intricate decor & were quite interested in its history. It also made for the most stunning pictures!!!! And I mean STUNNING!!!!! Also we wanted a non traditional wedding & reception with more of a party atmosphere instead of the traditional formal affair. The wedding coordinator & General Manager, Tim, took my vision and escalated it beyond anything I could’ve imagined!! From the layout of the reception to the menu... it was all amazing!!! And speaking of amazing, the food was probably the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding!! We received numerous compliments from our guests stating the same thing. Actually many of our guests asked who catered because they couldn’t believe that such a small country gem could provide five star restaurant quality food... and that’s exactly what we had!! Including our brunch the following day... insanely delicious food!!! Again blown away!! We had the most incredible experience at Linden Hall!! I know our wedding would’ve been great at any other facility but it would’ve never been to the level of what we had at Linden Hall!!! I’m so grateful for everyone there who helped make our day SO special!!!! Linden Hall is truly a hidden gem!!!!

nd we met up a week later for a tour of the grounds. Rachel was so thorough and gave us the most amazing tour of the historic mansion, which is absolutely breathtaking, the motel and the garden area. My Fiancé’ (now husband) and I had to have our wedding here! We booked instantly. Rachel was available throughout our wedding planning process. She answered every question I had in a detailed and timely manner- coming from an organized person- this meant a lot!! Rachel and the entire Linden Hall Team helped make our wedding dreams come true. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous and perfect our wedding was! · Ceremony: Outside Garden o Absolutely breathtaking. I loved the natural beauty of the garden. No decorations needed. · Cocktail Hour: Located inside of the Historic Mansion o AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! A MUST SEE! · Reception: Air conditioned Tent - Our guest count was roughly 240 people. We fit perfectly. · Motel: Our guests were able to stay at a motel located on the same grounds. Having everything in one location was very convenient especially for friends and family from out of town! · Food: We had a buffet style meal that included Prime Rib, Stuffed Chicken Breast and Crab Cakes. o Everyone, including myself and my husband, LOVED the food. I’m still receiving phone calls from guests about how fabulous the meal was! · Bar: Premium Package Bar o The bar was so awesome. They provided large coolers with beer so that you did not have to wait in line. o They also provided two separate bars with 2 bartenders so the wait was minimal for mixed drinks! Overall, our wedding was perfect and we can not thank Linden Hall, Rachel, and staff enough for making this happen! J

s of why our wedding was so perfect: ~Venue for both ceremony and reception: highly convenient, affordable, and beautiful ~Fantastic plan B option: inside the magnificent mansion (it might be better than plan A) ~Food at reception AND cocktail hour: A++ ~Breathtaking views of the Appalachian mountains ~Guests had SO MUCH FUN I do hope with all of my heart that each of my sisters also decide on getting married at Linden Hall!

ned out great and was more than we expected. My daughter was married in the mansion and the reception was in the tent. About 145 people attended. I am not a wedding expert by any means but after this experience, I have learned that the wedding coordinator is just as import as the venue. Rachel Swink was our wedding coordinator and was just fantastic. When we left the site after the venue visit and tour by Rachel, my daughter knew that Linden Hall where she wanted her wedding and she wanted Rachel to be the coordinator. The wedding itself turned out to be everything that Rachel promised and more. The venues were great, the food was great, and most importantly, every interaction with Rachel and her staff was fantastic. From the servers, food preparation, etc. everybody was very friendly and accomodating. I had several guests tell me after the wedding how nice the staff was. An added bonus to using Linden Hall is that the Linden Hall hotel is right there. We had about 40 rooms booked from Friday to Sunday and many guests did not leave the property for two days. The hotel was very convenient as my son-in-law's family was 3 hours away and most of his family stayed at the hotel. A second added bonus for myself and the groomsmen was the Linden Hall golf course. We played the course early Saturday morning and the course is really great. I would also recommend if you are considering this venue and have a videographer that you ask if they have a drone. My daughter's videographer had a drone and used it during the wedding. The video's from the drone looking over Fayette County and the mansion are great. I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for a beautiful venue.

inviting. Everything was perfect. Rachel, our coordinator, was AWESOME! Everything we wanted and asked for was taken care of, and she was such a wonderful person to speak to, I was always super excited to hear from her and she kept everything so organized. She pays special attention to every detail and really does her best to make this day as amazing as possible. She planned every last detail, she even put photos of my husband and I on the buffet stations which was unexpected, but personally appreciated. Day of, everything ran so smoothly and even my mother said it seemed like she could read our minds and we didn't have to ask for her help, she was already there ready to tackle everything that came our way. I cannot say enough about Rachel, I seriously could not have done it without her. My husband and I definitely lucked out with this venue. It was very well priced per person and everything was included in the price with ZERO hidden fees. We were able to have our ceremony in the gorgeous mansion gardens, cocktail hour inside the historic mansion, and reception in a beautiful white tent all at one location. There's also a hotel and restaurant on the property as well, perfect for an after party. There wasn't anything missing on our special day. I would book this venue over and over again, but hopefully I won't have to!! :)

arried 9.9.17) and guests are still talking about the food, drinks, and general atmosphere of our wedding. We married in the garden, had cocktail hour in the mansion, and had our reception in the tent. Rachel had a special eye for detail and used some of my extra flowers to spruce up the mansion. She even used our engagement photos to adorn the pathway of the buffet line. I cannot say enough positive things. And, truthfully, when you consider everything Linden Hall offers at the price per plate, this venue is an excellent value for brides who want an extravagant wedding without paying 55k.

day of the wedding and went above and beyond for my hubs and I & all of our guests. She kept things running smoothly and I felt so calm knowing she was there for us! We had both our ceremony and reception at Linden Hall and it was the most incredible day from start to finish. Linden Hall is such a beautiful venue, all of my guests have raved about how delicious the food was, and I truly would not change a thing if I could go back- and I feel like that says it all! I would give 1 million stars if I could!!

er I knew this was finally the place that we would have our wedding! Rachel made the entire process so easy, and made sure to go above and beyond to accommodate some of our guests with their food allergies. She felt more like a sister that was helping me plan out my dream wedding than a wedding coordinator, I cannot thank her enough! Every little girls dream is to feel like a princess on the day of their wedding and having our wedding at Linden Hall achieved that and then some! The Mansion is absolutely STUNNING, the English Garden is beautiful, and the tent tops it all off! Our guests are still talking about how amazing everything was, especially being able to set foot in the Mansion! I cannot imagine having our wedding any place else, everything was PERFECT and I cannot thank Linden Hall team enough! xoxo

day of the wedding Rachel & Angelina both helped with everything which went INCREDIBLY smooth. They were both so very organized. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Linden Hall and I must say for the rehearsal and wedding, the entire staff there was AMAZING. The service is outstanding and I am so happy that I chose Linden Hall. It is a GORGEOUS venue, inside the mansion & outside (I had my ceremony & reception in the mansion) & my pictures turned out lovely (if you are looking for a photographer, check out Ashley Biltz!). I cannot say enough great things about Linden Hall!

eekend from the rehearsal dinner in the mansion to the getting ready in the mansion the day of the wedding then the reception in the tent. I felt like I was living a fairytale and Rachel was the fairy godmother. She can make anything your thinking possible. I would recommend lindenhall to anyone looking for an unforgettable dream wedding!

e you are in different locations. Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life that you will remember forever and Rachel did such an amazing job by providing me with all the information that I needed to be thinking about for my day to be seamless. The entire wedding planning process is very stressful but she is such a down to earth person easing a lot of that stress. Her goal is to make your day so special, and that she did! The day of our wedding she worked her butt off to make sure everything was set up and would check in periodically while we were getting ready to keep me updated on the weather - since my ceremony was outdoor. I will forever cherish our wedding day and a large portion of that is because Rachel did such an amazing job in making sure everything went perfectly.

el, the wedding coordinator, will go above and beyond to make all of your wedding dreams come true. She truly is a wedding planning genius, and will make sure every detail is attend to. You have no worries when it comes to Rachel! The rest of the staff was fantastic and so accommodating. They made sure all of our guests were happy and taken care of. The food was AMAZING. The chef really prepares high quality, excellent dishes. Overall, Linden Hall is the perfect place for the best day ever.

n we got pictures taken at the mansion and even handmade a wonderful wedding gift! And the food! People are still telling me how good the food was! My husband couldn't get enough of the mouthwatering crab cakes! I almost want to get married again just so I can have another reception there! I highly recommend Linden Hall for an unforgettable wedding!

re everything was perfect and was so accommodating. My guests raved about the mansion, tent, food, and staff. We are so blessed to have them involved with our special day!

. the wedding was beautiful and the guests raved about it. the only criticism i have about the venue is that when my husband arrived that morning to decorate, nothing was ready for him. the tables were not set up to be decorated, the cleaning was not done, and there was not sufficient help as was promised. because it took longer to decorate, when i got there my husband had to shower and get ready. he hurried as fast as he could but our photo time was cut short and we did not get all the pictues we wanted. also, bonnie, the coordinator was amazingly good in the months leading up to the wedding, but on the day of she was shaking with nerves and nowhere to be found half the time. she didnt notify the guests where to go after the ceremony and didnt barely talk to us that nigh at all. overall, though, the day and night was beautfiul and we had the time ofour lives. we are still recieving compliments on how unique and touching our wedding was. Linden Hall definitely made the night with the beautiful, ornate decor and ambiance!

ctations. The food was phenomenol. The Mansion and grouds provided beautiful photo opportunities and really captured the vintage theme we choose for our wedding. I can't say enough great things about this venue, staff, service, and food!

he mansion for both our ceremony and our reception and the location couldn't have been prettier! Bonnie Timms, head of catering and event coordinator worked hard to ensure that we had everything we needed and was always available for questions that I had regarding the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception--she's truly fantastic and a sweetheart. The mansion itself is so gorgeous that you won't feel the need to decorate much more than your tables! With a separate area for the bar, dancing, and dinner, your guests will have plenty of room to enjoy themselves! The patio/porch that runs along the back of the mansion is beautiful and gives sweeping views of Pennsylvania's mountains. Guests can also sit out there for the cocktail hour and anytime of the night they want to grab some fresh air. Because we got married in October, they even turned on giant heat lamps on the patio so that people wouldn't get too chilled. We loved that the price of the mansion along with the meals and bar are all included in one per-person fee (this also included all taxes, gratuity, cake-cutting, set-up, and tear-down). Remember that you're charged per-person, so the bigger the wedding, the bigger your overhead. We were so pleased with how the day went from start to finish--the mansion looked like a dream! Also, your guests can stay right on site at the hotel down the hill from the mansion. This was perfect for us as our family was all traveling from far out of town to be with us. The price of the hotel room includes a full breakfast which is a nice bonus. The only thing I'd have to say is that the hotel is a bit out-dated (think 1970s), so the accommodations, while perfectly acceptable aren't anything flashy and showy. You'll feel like you have your own private village for the weekend! Also worth noting is that this mansion is very secluded--you're way up in the mountains and a good 45-60 minute drive south of Pittsburgh. Consider this when you're planning delivery of things like your flowers, cake, and making appointments for hair/nails/makeup. We made it work for us just fine, but if you're picky or are expecting certain things, it's important to remember the area. Personally, I can't imagine a place that was better suited to our wedding needs, and it was a dream location for my husband and me. All of our family and friends commented on how beautiful the mansion is, and we couldn't agree more!
