Moonstone Manor

This venue is AMAZING. I’m really bad at decor, so I needed to find a venue that spoke for itself. This venue does just that! We got so many compliments from our wedding guests for picking this venue. Everywhere you turn is picturesque, everything is so stunning. The mansion is beautiful, the rose arches are gorgeous and the reception tent so beautiful. This wedding venue is a literally fairytale.

I fell in love with this venue before my husband and I were engaged! The staff was so accommodating and lovely. They helped make my elopement ceremony a success and were even ready to help with a back up plan if the rain did not stop that day. I am so glad I chose this gorgeous venue to marry my best friend. The pictures turned out beautifully and it will be a day that I never forget!

There are no words to describe the wonder that is Moonstone Manor. No questions, the answer is yes, book your wedding here! The staff is patient and kind, and cares about perfecting your day down to the details. We were looking for elegance that still had a back yard, intimate feel. Moonstone gave us exactly that. It’s enchanting both inside and out. Just gorgeous.

We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding day!!! Gina, Mary and the entire staff at Moonstone Manor have been a pleasure to work with the past two years as we prepared for our wedding day and they remained involved even past the day of. The time and effort they put toward our event is unmatched and if we were to do it all over again we wouldn't hesitate choosing Moonstone manor once again. The grounds of the Manor are kept in pristine condition. The inhouse catering by Food For Thought Catering received rave reviews from all of our guest and as the bride and groom we were beyond satisfied with the quality of the food, everything was delicious and the staff managed to take care of even the finest of details. I urge anyone seeking a venue for any special event; look no further, Moonstone Manor is the place you have been looking for.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE AND THE PEOPLE! What a special magical place to get married and working with Gina and Mary was a dream! It was the most beautiful fairytale wedding we could have imagined, highly highly recommend!!

I loved Moonstone Manor from the minute I saw it on line. My wife rapidly grew to love it as well after we toured. I love the timeless elegance of the interior, and the amazing grounds with the stream running through the property. My wife really wanted an outside wedding, so she was very pleased this venue offers a covered open-air option in the event of rain. Thankfully we did not need to take advantage of this option. We really enjoyed having most of our extended family stay all under the same roof for two nights as well. Moonstone Manor fit all of our needs. The staff were excellent as well. I can’t say enough good things about them and their venue. It was everything we hoped it would be.

I cannot tell you how many people stopped us and continue to text/call us to tell us how beautiful this venue is. The staff was incredible to work with, super responsive, accommodating, and made sure our night was perfect. On our wedding day, it rained nearly the entire day, and it was still beautiful with plenty of great photo opportunities and places to hide from the rain! We are so incredibly pleased with our venue and the staff and would highly recommend them.

I can't explain the feeling I got when I toured Moonstone for the first time. The venue, the grounds, everything is just so beautiful. The venue is a la carte and allows an amazing amount of flexibility and customization for your wedding. Gina and Mary were a pleasure to work with and are so invested in their clients. I'm so happy that the manor house is now a B&B so we could stay there and soak up that beautiful feeling I get whenever I step foot on the grounds.

From the moment we went to visit Moonstone Manor, we knew instantly that this was where we wanted to get married. It is absolutely magical!! Gina, Mary and their staff could not have been any more accommodating!! All of our guests were literally ‘over the moon’ at how beautiful and nice everything was. We had constant compliments the entire day! Gina and Mary were incredible throughout our entire planning process! They were quick to answer questions, welcomed visits, and offered lots of sound advice on many occasions!! We can not say enough wonderful things about them and their staff! Needless to say, we were thrilled with our entire experience!

The best wedding venue. Our whole family stayed at the manor for the weekend and it was just spectacular. The staff there are so welcoming and friendly and were very helpful. It is just so beautiful.

Moonstone Manor was the venue for our wedding on September 23, 2021. My husband and I fell in love with this venue the first time we toured the property in early 2021. From the Mansion to the Woodland Pavillion and the creek running behind the property, everything was perfect for our dream wedding. The Moonstone Manor Team was extremely helpful from our first tour to the end of our wedding day. They walked with us every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness, knowledge and patience with our hundreds of questions about everything. Our wedding day was perfect and we received a multitude of compliments from guests on what a wonderful venue we chose, and I can’t help but agree 100%! I highly recommend Moonstone Manor as your wedding or event venue!

I can't rave enough about Moonstone Manor--everything was absolutely exceptional! Gina and Mary were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. I look back on my wedding as the best day of my life, and they really played a huge part in that.

Moonstone Manor exceeded our expectations from the picturesque grounds to the outstanding Moonstone Staff. Moonstone Manor is magical and makes you feel as if you are a princess for the day. My husband and I highly recommend this venue and believe it should be awarded the highest honors and awards!! Ruthie and Greg M.

My husband and I got married at Moonstone Manor and it was THE BEST venue and wedding we could have asked for. Gina, Mary, and the team made sure all our questions were answered which helped us enjoy our day knowing everything was taken care of. Multiple guests told us it was the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Highly recommend!!

I will always recommend Moonstone Manor to anyone in need of a wedding venue. The staff is outstanding and made everything a breeze. There are many options for sites on the property to have your ceremony and the reception area is just breath-taking. You will have beautiful photos of your day, as the mansion and grounds are gorgeous. You really can tell the staff loves and takes pride in what they do. Everyone is so pleasant and we were treated like royalty. Thank you to everyone at Moonstone Manor!

My gosh, where do I even begin!!! Even though I could go on for HOURS talking about everything that Mary and Gina did to help make our wedding day the most MAGICAL experience ever, I will try and keep it relatively short, lol! My husband and I probably visited 12 or 13 venues when we were trying to pick a spot to have our wedding and I can say without pause that Moonstone Manor was the ONLY venue that I cried at (happy tears of course!) The charm of Moonstone Manor is magnetic and it truly manifested itself into our hearts within the first few minutes of visiting. The manor itself is enchanting in every sense of the word but the property surrounding the manor is magical in its own right - it's like fairytale inception!!! I need to start finding synonyms for the word magical but it's the best word to describe this venue. The groomsman's quarters are so rugged and full of just the right amount of masculine energy that any guy would want to feel on his big day. Likewise, ANY room inside the manor could give the bride and her bridesmaids a feeling of being a fairy in their own storybook. The art, the natural light, and the flow of the property was enough to keep us coming back (we already booked ourselves a night at the Manor for over the holidays!) Two things (among many others that I will mention) that made this choice of venue a no-brainer, were the tent and the rain plan. The tent is beautifully set looking over the stream and the floor of the tent is a gorgeous granite-like stone that lifts the formality of the party to a new level while keeping it natural and close to nature. The rain plan is a lovely little church-like pavilion with pews and, once again, a lovely view of the property. The best part of the rain plan is that it's STILL OUTSIDE! I loved that no matter the weather, my yearn to be in nature wouldn't be quelled. So yes, the property is amazing but the most important part of this venue are the two women who run it - Gina and Mary. The love they have for their couples is PALPABLE - it was like talking to my mother every time I got to discuss something with them either over the phone, in person, or via email. They are maternal and sweet and will bend over backwards to make sure everything goes according to plan. Even during the pandemic, their positivity and optimism provided such comfort. Not once in any of the decisions we had to make (changing our date to the following year) did Gina or Mary make us feel guilty or unworthy of our big day. They were encouraging, sweet, and so mindful of the gravity of this day and what it meant to us. I find myself tearing up every time I write about Moonstone or think about our day there. It was an experience I wish I could relive over and over again. The last thing I'll say is that if you're looking for a caterer, CHOOSE FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!! Gina absolutely CRUSHES it in the kitchen. Her food is fresh, seasonal, and appealing to the eyes AND belly. Highly recommend this venue for all sorts of reasons but above all, we recommend it if you want to feel like you're at home, surrounded by loved ones (new and old) on the best day of your life. The inn-keepers, Faith and Keegan, were like gentle reminders throughout the weekend that guests are family at Moonstone Manor. We felt so cared for and elated the entire time we spent at Moonstone. We plan to return as often as we can to relive the magic and soak up the love shared here! All our love, to the moon and back, Kristi, MJ and Kula

If you are looking for the perfect venue…stop right now…look no further… I promise this is IT. If I could give them a million stars I would! Where do I even begin…first, Gina & Mary literally made all of our wedding dreams come true. The two words that have been stuck in my head and that I’ve heard from guests are MAGICAL and DREAMY! We had the most magical night, and truly cannot stop thinking about how perfect everything was! From the first day we stepped foot onto beautiful property, we knew it was meant to be. We felt an instant connection with Gina and Mary and from day one they treated us like family. They went above and beyond to make this the perfect wedding for US and customized and executed every aspect of the day. They quite literally made our dream a reality. It was so dreamy it’s hard to believe it was real. The attention to detail from start to finish was everything. Everyone had the best time, and it was truly a wedding for the record books…absolutely epic. Every time we planned to come for a meeting, we were excited for days beforehand. Not only to see Moonstone and bask in all its beauty, but also to see Gina & Mary! We will miss our meetings with them dearly and plan to book an anniversary stay each year! Our guests are still raving about the ambiance, service and most importantly the FOOD! Food for thought is Gina’s catering company and they knocked it out of the park! It was a perfect day at the perfect venue with the perfect staff! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Book Moonstone and Food for Thought Catering, I promise you will not be disappointed!

My fiancé and I got engaged during the pandemic and were planning our wedding at a point when we were unsure whether laws and safety protocols would allow us to have a full wedding. We had been looking at venues in the Poconos, but saw Moonstone Manor on The Knot and found it too beautiful not to check out. The beauty of the property and the mansion beat out the Poconos venues and, conveniently, it was only 30 minutes from our house, so we promptly booked. From there, Mary and Gina worked with us and allowed us to have the flexibility of reserving for a minimony with immediate family, but having the option to hold a larger wedding with enough notice if we wanted to increase. We decided to stick with the minimony for ease and safety and again, the Moonstone and Food For Thought staff came through making the entire event run seamlessly. Given the small wedding size, I didn’t have bridesmaids to help and I hadn’t hired a wedding planner, but the Moonstone staff helped to make sure everything got to the right place at the right time. The property is absolutely beautiful and they helped me select the perfect spot with greenery and the creek as a backdrop. Gina, who owns the mansion and runs Food For Thought catering is also a dog lover, so our beloved Fuller was able to partake in the day as our ring bearer. And finally, the food was incredible - we were talking about it for days to come. Thank you, Gina and Mary, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Moonstone Manor is an absolutely breathtaking venue! We got married in the outdoor chapel and then had our reception in the tent. It ended up raining, so it was great to have both spaces covered. There are SO many beautiful photo locations on the property. The ladies were very helpful and we really enjoyed working with them! We got so many compliments on the venue and how smoothly everything ran.

What an incredible place to get married! Planning a wedding in 2020 certainly had its twists and turns with the public health situation, but the Moonstone Manor staff made it possible for us to have our dream ceremony, at our dream venue, with lots of flexibility needed to accommodate the safety of our guests. Even with a smaller gathering than we initially planned, we experienced all of the magic of Moonstone -- from the historic manor, to the Conewago Creek, to the incredible grounds to walk and soak in the beauty of the day. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank the Moonstone team and give the highest possible recommendation for those considering getting married at this incredible place!

My husband and I got married here on August 29, 2020 and it was beyond perfect! Gina and all of the staff at Moonstone Manor go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is perfect. We also had our rehearsal dinner at the venue and used Food for Thought Catering. The food was absolutely delicious and all of our guests gave so many compliments! We were able to stay over the night before the wedding which made getting ready the morning of super easy! I can’t say enough good things about Gina and Moonstone Manor. Everyone was so easy to work with and the grounds were absolutely beautiful! I wish we could do it all over again!

If your looking at this venue you will not be disappointed. Not only is it a absolutely beautiful venue the owner Gina and her excellent crew she has on hand to help w/everything needed to pull of a dream wedding or any event. We used Food for Thought for the catering and they were also awesome to work w/. Everyone is very helpful, professional and they truly care about You. We started there Thursday evening for the Rehearsal dinner, stayed over night. Had our daughter’s wedding there Friday and stayed again over night after the wedding. It was so nice to check in and have extended days to relax and fully enjoy the venue w/out feeling rushed through our special day. You spend a year or more planning for your special day why not let it last for at least a couple of days. Thank you Moonstone for creating a picture perfect weekend;)

Moonstone Manor sounds just as magical as it’s name. It’s a hidden gem. From the first steps we took, and to the staff we were greeted by, we knew we didn’t have to look any further. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and they feel like they are yours for the time being. The staff is so accommodating. We loved our experience here at Moonstone. Being able to rent either a few of the rooms, or the whole mansion allowed us to relax and not feel rushed the day of the wedding. The staff provided warm smiles and coffee, along with many other breakfast goodies from Food for Thought. We had a different vision on how to serve our food to our guests, and Food for Thought made it happen. They never questioned, they only guided, and helped make our vision come true! I cannot recommend this venue, and caterer enough. You will not be disappointed. My now husband and I have already talked about staying over in the mansion on anniversaries, to relive our magical day. Thank you for going above and beyond Gina, Mary and Moonstone staff!

Moonstone Manor was the perfect blend of romance, nature, and elegance for my husband and I. We were very impressed by Moonstone when we toured because there was a tent onsite that was included in the price and a chapel ceremony site that we would use if it rained. Our day was perfect and sunny in early October, so we were able to be by our favorite feature: the creek! Mary and Gina were helpful and there whenever I had a question. During the pandemic, I was nervous they were going to close, but they were very adamant about making as many accommodations for their couples as they could. We felt so lucky having Moonstone as our venue. We stayed overnight in the Nightingale Suite inside the manor house, and their housekeeper Faith was AMAZING. Their groomsmen room is awesome, and the three bridal party rooms were lovely to get ready in.

My now husband and I are from different states. When we decided to have the wedding half way between both, I started to look online for venues. AS SOON as I Moonstone Manor, I told him "this is the one". We toured the place with Mary and we both fell in love. Our guests are still raving to us about how beautiful and unique the venue was! We have nothing but good things to say. Gina, Mary, and the team are truly incredible. They treat everyone with such respect and were there to answer all of my emails (even to calm me down when things got crazy). They were so accommodating and sweet through postponing the wedding due to covid. On the day of, Gina and Mary were both hands on with a smile on their faces. You can really tell they love what they do. I could not have asked for more from a venue. We love Moonstone Manor.

Gina and her team of awesome people are the best bar none! We searched far and wide for a venue that had the appeal and charm that Moonstone has and could not have even come close!! Our daughter's wedding was an important life event for us and I can't even imagine that we would have done it anywhere other than Moonstone Manor. Thank you Gina and staff. You along with the manor are truly a winning combination!! We can't say enough about our overall experience and 100% recommend them.

Gina and team are fantastic and true professionals! We had the opportunity to have both our wedding and rehearsal dinner at the manor, so really got to know the staff. They make you feel so at home and are incredibly flexible to any changes you need to make throughout the planning process. We had to reschedule our date due to COVID, and the Moonstone team worked with us every step of the way to make sure our day was everything we wanted! The grounds are beautiful, the food is delicious, and you really can't get this experience elsewhere. We heard from guests that it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to! I cannot recommend this venue and staff enough!!

This venue made for a perfect day! It was the first venue we visited and should have been the last right then and there! These ladies were extremely helpful from that first visit all the way through the end of our evening. No wedding planner needed when you have these three on your side, even when your plans change multiple times due to a pandemic. They always had the answers/solutions to keep the planning moving forward. Now the grounds!! We visited in December for a May wedding that actually happened in September. The grounds became more beautiful with each passing timeframe. There was a team present that morning to make sure everything was clean and picture perfect. We ended up using about half of the facilities which made for a very relaxing day for the wedding party and our 140 guests. Thanks again to these amazing ladies and the beautiful grounds, not even the rain leading up to the ceremony time could spoil the day. Having the entire grounds to ourselves throughout the day made it the perfect home for my daughter’s day!

Moonstone Manor is the best! Their grounds are absolutely beautiful. All of our guests kept gushing about how it was the loveliest place they’d ever been to. We visited a lot of venues, but as soon as we stepped foot on this one, we immediately knew it was perfect. And Amy, Mary, and Gina are fantastic! They were always very responsive whenever I had a question or needed something, and they couldn’t have been more accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding date due to the pandemic - they didn’t even charge us or anything, we just simply moved the date. They also came up with a very reasonable set of guidelines so our guests and staff were kept safe while allowing everything to feel as close to normal as possible. The inside of the mansion is also as lovely as the outside. There is more than enough space for getting ready and relaxing, and there are so many perfect places to take photos, especially if you want that vintage feel. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. They deserve more than 5 stars.

My husband and I had our wedding here on November 2nd and I could not have imagined a better venue for our special day. Gina and Mary were absolutely fantastic and always available to help with our questions. The moment we stepped foot on the grounds for our initial tour we knew it was our venue. Everything about it was magical, and the entire staff onsite the day of our wedding was so friendly and willing to help in anyway they could. We didn’t feel like we were being rushed at the end of the evening and everything was so smooth. Thank you to everyone at Moonstone that made our day perfect!

Moonstone Manor is the perfect venue for so many reasons - every inch of the ground is gorgeous and super affordable compared to most other venues. Gina & her team were super friendly and willing to help with anything on our wedding day! I only wish we had more time to keep the night going on longer! You won’t regret having an event at Moonstone Manor.

Moonstone Manor is the perfect place to have a wedding or event. There is something there for every couple. The house has a Victorian style which gives an air of elegance and grandeur to the setting. The grounds are so extensive that you will not be short on options for photo shoots and ceremony sites. There is a beautiful stream and so much foliage that makes an outdoor wedding perfect here. Also, there are ruins down by the stream that gives an unique backdrop for small weddings or photo shoots. On the day of the wedding, the staff was very helpful and would make sure to check in to make sure we were doing okay or ask if we needed help. Gina and her staff were wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend having your special day at Moonstone Manor.

We were planning a second wedding and didn't know exactly how we wanted to do it, but we knew that we wanted to keep it intimate. As soon as we visited Moonstone Manor we knew it was perfect. Gina and Mary's experience, creativity and patience were invaluable in planning our special day. The tastings were quite helpful, and it was a really fun evening! The frequent emails kept us on tract and helped us stay organized. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We didn't have to worry about a thing! All of our guests raved about the food, especially the appetizers! The tent and grounds were fabulous and our pictures turned out great!! We absolutely recommend Moonstone Manor for any event!

Moonstone Manor is just beautiful and the staff is amazing to work with. They are quick to respond with any questions and are there for you every step of the way. I highly recommend them as a venue!

Moonstone Manor was THE perfect venue. Everyone was so amazing and helpful and made our day perfect! We couldnt be more thankful and happy with our choice! Gina, Mary and the whole staff were extremely nice and friendly!

When I think of this beautiful place, my heart smiles and I feel whole. From the beginning of our wedding journey, I knew this place was perfect. I knew this the moment I walked onto the grounds and met Gina, Mary and staff. They are attentive, fun, organized and just all around great people. They make you their priority. All your ideas, questions, concerns or whatever it may be will be acknowledged and answered. My day was so perfect, and so beautiful that I keep saying I want to do it again! I cannot thank the staff here enough for everything.

The best place to get married! Everything was so beautiful and all of our guests loved the venue! I also loved that we pretty much had our own control with what we wanted to do on our wedding day at the venue and that we got to hire all of our own wedding vendors. So easy to work with and was inexpensive for the day before labor day! Also, if you want an outdoor wedding, but worried about rain, they have a cute pavilion as a backup plan! The only thing that we did not like was that the groom's room was very small compared to what the bridal party got.

We got married back here August 31st..and I have not been able to put into words how amazing this place is. From our first visit not only was it the most beautiful place we visited, but Mary treated us with nothing but kindness and honesty. Gina, Mary and the whole staff are fantastic. We ended up using another catering company, but I would still highly recommend theirs based off service and attention to detail. Mary emailed us every couple months to help keep us on track, and was always there to help us plan and answer any questions. The day of she checked on us regularly to make sure everything was perfect. This venue is so beautiful and I can not wait for our pictures. Our guests have said it’s the best wedding they have attended and I have Moonstone to thank for making our day truly a fairytale.

Moonstone Manor is the perfect venue for a wedding. The staff is very responsive and they helped us organise our Big Day and ceremony down to the smallest detail, including reception tables, chairs, linens - following their advice these turned our beautiful! We were unsure about having our dinner in an outside tent, but theirs is spacious and makes you really feel almost like you are outside! The Mansion and grounds are amazing and offer lots of space for a nice reception and a beautiful background for your pictures!

We are so glad we had our wedding at Moonstone Manor. From our first visit, we knew it was the venue for us - not only because it was by far the most beautiful we had seen, but also because the staff immediately made us feel welcome and at ease. Gina and Mary show extreme professionalism . It is clear from their results that they are perfectionists in all that they do, but more importantly, they "get it" regarding the bigger picture of wedding planning - that it's about people and bringing loved ones together to celebrate a once in a lifetime occasion - and they clearly prioritize people and relationships above all. Throughout our planning process the Moonstone staff made us feel like we were the most important people in the world to them, always quick to answer our questions and provide their suggestions when we asked. They let us visit the venue a number of times before the big day, and were extremely flexible regarding our use of the grounds on the wedding day and even the days leading up to it. No other venue we looked at was nearly as accommodating. Our wedding day ended up being even better than we could have imagined. Every detail was absolutely perfect, and as the bride, being able to trust that the Moonstone staff would carry out the evening exactly as we had planned allowed me to relax and fully take in every moment. In the weeks following, our guests keep telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and while we’d like to think our planning played some part in that, we know that it was primarily the beauty of Moonstone Manor, the amazing food, and the overall enchanting atmosphere that the Moonstone team set for the day. I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat to anyone.

We cannot thank Gina and her wonderful, dedicated staff enough for an absolutely beautiful wedding day for our daughter. They all went out of their way to make her day perfect and extra special! Moonstone Manor is a gorgeous venue that is absolutely stunning!! We could not have been happier! If your looking for the best, look no further!!

Moonstone Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding on July 13th. Gina and Mary were super helpful and did everything to make sure our big day was perfect. We received so many compliments during the reception about how nice the venue and staff were. We were so happy with how everything turned out and cannot recommend them enough!

A most beautiful venue with a warm, caring, and professional staff. We did not have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding as the Manor staff had everything under control and kept the evening flowing without a flaw. Guests were awed by the beauty of Moonstone Manor and really enjoyed being able to wander the grounds and the manor throughout the evening. Highly recommended for a beautiful evening you will always remember !

WOW, I don't even know where to start! My husband and I got married at Moonstone Manor on July 26th, and it could not have been any more magical! Gina and her staff went ABOVE & BEYOND and they were hands down the best people we have worked with. We were so incredbily pleased with how helpful and professional they all were. They were quick to respond to my emails/calls regarding questions I had, along with checking in to make sure we were all on the same page. They truly care and it shows! The food, the atmosphere, the vibe (just to name a few) was 10/10. The venue and grounds are breathtaking! The guests at our wedding have not stopped talking about how beautiful everything was! Our wedding was a dream come true, and we can't recommend Moonstone Manor enough!!! Thank you Gina & all of the dedicated staff for making our wedding day so special!!!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Moonstone Manor on 6/8/19. I cannot even begin to describe how beautiful the venue was on our wedding day. From having the house to get ready in, the spacious tent for our reception, and the beautiful grounds to take our wedding pictures, the day was truly perfect at Moonstone. Just keep in mind that you have to coordinate bringing all your own vendors in and the staff at Moonstone does not really do anything for you that day. The price you pay is really for the space and nothing else. Although more work than a venue that takes care of everything for you, I would not change having our reception there for anything. I got more compliments from our guests about how beautiful everything was and I would recommend Moonstone to anyone.

I honestly never knew that the role of Father of the Bride could be so rewarding and satisfying! Where do I even begin? A venue so gorgeous yet relaxing, spacious yet cozy. Hottest day of the year, but that didn’t keep a whole lotta people from having a whole lotta fun. Gina, Mary and their staff — so attentive and helpful, all the way through closing time. Having the whole place at our disposal for 14 hours, including that mansion and its lovely (and air conditioned) rooms. Letting me choose my own vendors, all of whom did a great job too. Simply put, Moonstone Manor hosted the best celebration I’ve ever experienced!

Making Dreams Come True Everyone involved in making my daughter, Lauren and her fiancé's wedding a tremendous success and a memory to remember forever were amazing! They couldn't have done more and been more professional and welcoming as they were. They were quick to meet our every need many times before we asked. If you want to enjoy your child's wedding and have the assurance that all your desires are met in an efficient and professional manner, this is where you need to go.

Moonstone Manor was the host of the Susquehanna Waldorf School's Eighth Grade Graduation Rehearsal and Ceremony. Gina and her staff were easy to work with, said yes to our many requests, and made our graduation ceremony above and beyond what we had hoped for. It was truly a wonderful evening at the most wonderful place, Moonstone Manor.

My husband and I recently got married at Moonstone, and it exceeded all expectations! Every interaction with Gina, Mary, and staff was nothing but enjoyable. They were able and willing to assist with any needs or questions, at all hours of the day (and night). Even with rain less than an hour before our ceremony, staff worked to make our dream of an outside wedding a reality. I am forever grateful to them for making all of our wedding visions come to life. It was truly the best day of our lives, in large part because of Moonstone and their staff!

We actually had our private school graduation at MoonStone Manor and it could not have been lovelier. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff impeccable and the food delicious. All I kept thinking of (besides my daughter graduating) was what a perfect place for her to get married! But I get ahead of myself:)

The staff and owner of Moonstone Manor are absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. They express so much hospitality that we feel we have gained a second family. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the set up is perfect for any outdoor wedding with with paved floor for the tent, the river backdrop for the ceremony and a covered option in case it rains. There are so many photo opportunities here as well with the amount of character the manor has to offer. We just LOVE it. Gina, Marry and staff - Thank you so much!!

My husband and I had our wedding here on 5/26/19 and it was more amazing than we could have ever imagined. When we booked the venue 2 years ago we were blown away by how beautiful the grounds were and how kind, accommodating, and helpful the staff was. We received SO many compliments from guests saying it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to!! This venue does require you bring all of your own vendors - including catering. I highly recommend Food For Thought Catering which is owned by the same owner as Moonstone Manor - Gina D-Ambrosio; it made the day go by much smoother and she helped tremendously with vendor coordination!

LOVED my friends wedding here!

My husband and I were married at Moonstone Manor on 10/27/18. It was the absolute best day of our lives! We chose Moonstone Manor, because it is simply one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. In addition to its beauty, Gina and her staff were a delight to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process - truly some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They take their work seriously and they will make sure that everything is perfect. Our guests are still talking about the beauty of the venue and wonderful staff who made the day flawless for us! We love Moonstone Manor, and you definitely will too!

.

The perfect venue! Such a Beautiful property! My husband and I are so happy with choosing Moonstone as our venue. The staff were great, as well!

One world to describe this venue and staff would be FAIRYTALE. Gina, Mary and the rest of the staff at Moonstone Manor made our dreams come true for our wedding in November. We are not from the area so I was worried about organizing everything from 3 hours away, however, they made it so easy. Even with our caterer falling through 2 months before the wedding "Food for Thought Catering" ran by Gina came through for us and catered both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. It was delicious and highly raved about by all of the guest. I am truly grateful for everyone at Moonstone that made the whole weekend such a dream. They go above and beyond anything you could even possibly hope for. THANK YOU!

My fiance and I chose Moonstone Manor after touring multiple venues near Lancaster PA. Moonstone is like no other venue. It has a beautiful river, amazing mansion, photogenic ruins, woods, gardens, paved pathways with arches, and more! All this means there are tons of places to get a variety of photos!! The only aspect of the venue I didnt like right away was the celebration tent -- I've always thought tents look cheap. BUT -- their tent is beautiful. It has a stone floor, walls which can be pulled aside for air flow, etc, and a gorgeous fabric on the ceiling that makes it really look quite beautiful. There are chandeliers and fairy lights, as well as wall sconce lights, so there is plenty of lighting when it gets completely dark outside. The restrooms are VERY nice, far better than we expected, and of course the manor itself is one of a kind. We chose this venue two years in advance (since they fill up fast) and were caught off guard when a few months later the manor changed owners, but the new owner, Gina, is great. We had absolutely no problems on our wedding day, and everything flowed so smoothly. Mary and Amy who work at MM are so responsive to emails and phone calls, and never once made me feel as though I was asking stupid questions or being too picky with details. Everything went perfectly on our wedding day, and everyone raved about the venue. We got so many complements and are really so glad we chose Moonstone.

Moonstone Manor is the only place we wanted to get married. We decided we needed this venue because of its amazing ability to pair contemporary conveniences with timeless charm and wonder. We got married by the old ruins, but we easily could have chosen four other gorgeous ceremony spots! The tent was roomy and comfortable for all our guests and absolutely gorgeous with built-in lighting and chandeliers. The Moonstone Manor team is punctual, professional and extremely detail-oriented. They won't rest until you get the vision you desire for your special day. Moonstone Manor makes you want to get married every year!

I just had my wedding at Moonstone Manor on Friday October 19, 2018 and it was a blast. My guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the property was. Thank you to the staff for letting us decorate earlier as well: that was big help! Thank you so much for allowing us to have a beautiful wedding! Love, Brittney and Wade

Let me start by saying, my bridesmaids kept waiting for “the moment” when it would hit me that my wedding day has arrived. We arrived to Moonstone and as I stepped onto the porch from the bridal suite I took in the cool crisp air, the beauty of the greenery surrounding me, and the sound of the waterfall at my ceremont site. That was my moment. I broke down with tears of joy and relief (because planning a wedding is stressful). To help with the stress, for over a year, Gina and her team were response to me in every way and helped do anything to make my vision come to life. I knew Moonstone was perfect, but this was confirmed by the endless complements and astonished comments I received on my wedding day and beyond about the beauty and perfection that is Moonstone Manor. We only looked at one venue, fell in love, and it was more than perfect.

We had the best wedding day at this beautiful venue!!! From our first visit, we realized this place was one of a kind. My dad isn’t one to get into the wedding details, but on his first visit was snapping pictures and “wow” -ing at the beauty of it all. He still keeps saying “Wow, you picked the perfect venue.” The entire team was very friendly, receptive, and responsive to any contact and helped to remind us when things were due or they hadn’t received paperwork or certifications from a vendor. They were very patient and helpful with the many, many emails my “team” sent back and forth! We were able to schedule meetings or vendor walk throughs on the grounds and were even welcomed when we showed up on the wrong day. We had a beautiful rehearsal on site and Mary stayed nearby in case we needed anything. Ultimately, we had such a beautiful and smooth journey and wedding day, I almost forgot we were even at a venue because it was so comfortable for us! Our guests complimented the beauty of the grounds, the quickness of the staff to help with closing tent sidings and any quick thunderstorm cleanup that was needed, and their overall friendliness. They were never intrusive but were present in the day for sure. My grandparents were even able to sit in the Manor and enjoy Gina and others company for awhile. They loved their time in the beautiful, glamorous, antique charm of the Moonstone Manor! The day was such a whirlwind for us but everything went smoothly at this venue and we felt so at home. The chapel onsite was already beautiful to us, but our florist, Moss + Vine, made it just unbelievably magical for our ceremony. The reception space twinkled all night and the farm tables I opted for were so gorgeous in that space. Our guests had a blast dancing what felt like all night long (but was really until 10 ha) to DJ Mike of 30 West’s jams! My fabulous pictures by Ali & Paul, Co had the perfect background no matter where we moved around because there’s no “bad spot” at this place! I can’t wait to see our film by Lavon Films to re-love our day! The day was just everything we imagined and more and it wouldn’t have been the same anywhere else!

Words can’t even begin to describe how perfect our wedding day was! Everything just flowed from beginning to end. Gina and her staff did a phenomenal job making sure the grounds were perfect for our wedding day, timely communicated what was expected of us and any paperwork work that was needed to be filled out. Moonstone Manor was the only venue my husband and I saw, from the moment we saw it we knew it was the ONE! When you know, you just know. All of our guest kept on raving about how perfect and beautiful the venue was! We are beyond satisfied with Moonstone Manor and their management. Thank you for making our wedding day flawless and for always making sure we were oaky and having fun. We are forever grateful. The photos alone speak for themselves on how gorgeous Moonstone is! Thanks a million!

Amy was an amazing staff member and very attentive on our wedding day. An absolutely beautiful venue, and very well organized and communicative. Mary was somewhat less present than we would have desired, but still have to rate a "4.8 stars" according to my now-husband. Can't go wrong here.

From the start our experience with Moonstone and the staff was perfection. The grounds truly transport you and are magical. The staff is both warm and precise- somehow capturing a laid back and kindly manner while flawlessly addressing everything you have and haven't thought of. We sent countless emails in the months leading up and each request was answered quickly and with enthusiasm. The Moonstone staff was able to capture our vision and create a beautiful day for us and all of our guests.

We attended our niece's wedding and were met with a smiling professional staff from the start to finish. The butlered food was amazing as was the buffet. My husband is still trying to get their beef rub recipe! The setting speaks for itself but you have to see it to believe it.

Our wedding was on June 30th, 2018 and it couldn't have been better! Although it was one of the hottest days of the year, being at Moonstone made us forget all about the heat! We had our ceremony and reception at Moonstone and the staff was incredible throughout the day. They greeted us with a smile and made us feel like the most important people in the world. They were so accommodating to all of our needs and made sure from Day 1 that things would run smoothly and just the way we wanted them. We were able to enjoy our wedding without any worry knowing that the details and things in the background were being taken care of. The venue is gorgeous and the guests were in awe of the property and it's beauty. Gina and the staff at Moonstone were absolutely incredible and I cannot say enough great things about them. Moonstone Manor was the perfect venue for us and I wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding day! Thank you so much Moonstone Manor!!!

Moonstone Manor was a magical location for our venue. My husband and I looked at many venues for our specific vision. We fell in love with moonstone on our first visit! Gina was so attentive and made everything so personal. She touched our lives above and beyond being the owner of the venue and incredible cater but became a wonderful friend. The gorgeous grounds and manor were so natural and tended to with such care and precision every picture looked like it was out of a magazine. The entire staff is so attentive and professional they knew exactly what we needed before we'd even thought of it. The genuine love for their jobs is apparent in everyone who works at Moonstone. My vendors were even excited to have the opportunity to work at moonstone, they deserve every bit of their reputation. I know when I was looking for a venue I wouldn't always read the entire review but there are not enough words to explain the wonderful impact Moonstone and Gina had on our wedding planning and wedding day and even our marriage.

Moonstone Manor was love at first sight, and everything about the facility and the staff was an absolute delight. There is so much to love - stunning gardens, elegant architecture, and the scenic setting along the Conewago Creek. There was no worry about having to select and set up a tent - it is already in place, with beautiful lighting, attractive concrete floor, with multiple gorgeous sites for the ceremony, including the outdoor covered chapel, or sites next to the ruins, the iron gazebo and other sites along the creek. You can bring in your own vendors, they have a full liquor license so there are no limitations to what you choose to offer. You can have your choice of caterer, although you will not find one to beat their own Food For Thought catering in price or quality. Gina is AMAZING as a chef, business owner, and person, and all of her staff are just fabulous. The way she serviced our event at every stage, we felt like we've made a friend for life. They are experienced event planners, and can advise you every step of the way. We had both the rehearsal dinner and the ceremony/reception there, and both exceeded expectations. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the wedding of our daughter's dreams. (her very words to me that day)

Moonstone Manor Review - 5 Star Rating Across the board! Quality of Service When we were evaluating catering options, the choices are certainly important considerations. Many guests have different dietary needs so variety is a key ingredient. Of course, then the decision moves to taste and this is where we were so impressed. Absolutely delicious: from the initial tasting, rehearsal dinner, hors d’oeuvres to event buffet line. Responsiveness Every wedding is unique and each bride has her own vision of what is desired. Our daughter was no exception and really wanted an outdoor ceremony. There were many different locations suggested and the scenery is just outstanding. The big concern of course is the weather. What do you do if it rains is a huge concern and most of the other places considered just did not offer the flexibility to move to a covered chapel if it rained. This is a fantastic option that fortunately was not needed for our event. Professionalism Every interaction from the owner to servers was top notched. When putting together such an event, the options can be overwhelming. The Moonstone Manor team was very helpful in making suggestions and working thru possibilities. Value This is ultimately the “bottom line” when making a decision on where to have your wedding. It is important to do comparison shopping and see what you get for your money. We did not find any other venues that offered as many possibilities in such an awesome setting. The creek, huge trees, rose covered arches, beautifully landscaped grounds, and of course the gorgeous mansion – all contributed to a fantastic location that delighted all the quests. Flexibility This is where the Moonstone Manor team shine the most. Our daughter wanted to have our dog be the ring bearer. “Of Course – No problem” was the response. This was repeated many times over including catering options, beverage consideration with a full size aluminum canoe for beer, air conditioning for seniors, golf cart rides… just an endless stream of accommodations.

Moonstone Manor is the best place for a wedding, from the rustic chapel, to the pristine grounds, the waterfall and stream. There is an abundance of locations for great photo opportunities. The owner Gina could not help our family enough with the planning of every detail of the wedding day. Her food knowledge is beyond compare. Gina's staff went above and beyond, every time I turned around during cocktail hour there was a appetizer tray within reach. The food servers always had a smile on their face and were going out of their way to reach all the guests strolling around the property. The dinner food was amazing and everyone devoured their meals. The entire venue has so many places for guests to explore and experience during the reception. Moonstone Manor is a once in a lifetime venue for the once in a lifetime wedding!

Moonstone Manor was absolutely GORGEOUS!! Gina and her staff are very responsive, helpful and have thought of everything to help the day run smoothly. We got married on May 26, 2018 and the place looked stunning with the lush foliage, blooming flowers and well kept grounds. One of the reasons we chose Moonstone Manor over the other 5 venues we looked at was that they have an amazing rain option. We really wanted our ceremony to be outside on the lawn but my husband and I would have honestly been just as happy if we had to do it in the covered sanctuary. We all got ready in the house and the sunroom was a gorgeous backdrop for us girls. I can't express how beautiful the day was from beginning to end. We have yet to attend another wedding venue that we like more than ours at Moonstone. Thank you for an incredible day!

Moonstone Manor is not only an beautiful and well maintained property, but the staff is AMAZING and were so easy to work with! My husband and I were very pleased with how easily everything seemed to flow, and how fast Moonstone Manor got back to our emails and questions. Everything was perfect with this venue and I cannot even think of one thing that did not go well with them. My husband and I also loved that there are a lot of places to take pictures and a lot of well manicured gardens. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who is interested; you will not be disappointed!
