I am speaking as a 40-year experienced wedding photographer. This is the second wedding I have had at the Rusty Rail Brewery. Starting with the positives, the decor, atmosphere, cl...
eanliness, and the endless photo possibilities is outstanding. As a photographer, you won't run out of ideas to use as backgrounds in your wedding portraits. The negative is the way we were treated during the reception. Both I, the DJ, and our assistants were placed by Rusty Rail's Wedding Coordinator together, alone to dine approximately 50+ feet away from the other guests and wedding party who were seated in the reception area. We were placed 2 rooms away from everyone. The DJ had to worry about his equipment while it was playing dinner music. I, as the photographer, had to wonder if I was missing any important photo opportunities while in this room. At other wedding receptions we have done, we would have been seated in the same room and have the opportunity to jump up to grab a quick candid that was noteworthy. Not today. We were separated by two sets of sliding doors and no direct view of the reception. We weren't even close enough to hear what was happening in the reception area. It wasn't the fact that the Rusty Rail didn't have any room to place us, because there was at least a couple hundred square feet of empty space in the reception. A little table in the back of the auditorium would have been acceptable. We aren't asking to be treated like royalty, but we weren't expecting to be treated like lepers segregated from society. This did not happen with the first wedding we had at the Rusty Rail, but it was with a different wedding coordinator today. To be honest, it was humiliating to be placed by the hallway leading to the restrooms. Let me emphasize, never, ever in my 40 years of wedding photography has this ever happened. If this is your policy, you need to rethink the logistics of what a photographer and DJ have to do to satisfy their responsibilities with the Bride and Groom. Both the DJ, myself, and our assistants were hired by the Bride and Groom to do a job. We were not hired by Rusty Rail, and therefore should not have been treated like this. You hampered and jeopardized our ability to do a good job for the bride and groom. I am hoping that you reconsider this policy for future photographers and DJ's.
Wedding planning was a breeze with the help of their coordinator, Karli. Karli was on top of communication and coordination of decor, timing, vendors and organization. Rusty Rail p...
rovided amazing food, delicious cake, decor (a money saver too!), beautiful accommodations on site and flexibility to create the day of your dreams. Just a few examples of Karli and her team going above and beyond any expectation we had, I wanted to do a welcome drink and the staff built a full mobile bar to serve from. Also, we wanted an outdoor ceremony, so Karli arranged all the logistical details for us to have the ceremony on the family's farm down the street including offering transportation through the grass for our elderly guests. Rusty Rail takes so much stress off the bride and really is a one stop shop.
Beautiful location. We had the whole wedding weekend there and it was fabulous. The wedding coordinator always responded to my emails quickly and was easy to talk to. The event coo...
rdinator was super helpful on the day of the wedding, including when my child locked himself out of our suite. She was right there, easy to find, and fixed anything that came up. Planning a wedding is extremely stressful, so I am grateful that we had such a wonderful experience with the Rusty Rail. Every guest that came was super impressed by the venue and it just all came together lovely. There were no issues the day of and I am so pleased with how it turned out. Bonus, we had a ton of out of town family and they have suites for rent on the third floor. How AWESOME it was that everyone could drink and enjoy themselves then go up to the rooms. Additionally, the suites are BEAUTIFUL, super clean, and just amazing. Everyone was super impressed. Would highly recommend, it was just overall such a positive experience for us.
THE BEST WEDDING VENUE!!! Honestly, do NOT hesitate to book with them. From the moment we toured the venue, we were sold. The natural rustic and industrial feel of the building mad...
e for the perfect space. Our guests could not get over the beauty of the venue. Amanda, Roxanne, and the rest of the Rusty Rail team made planning our wedding effortless. The communication was prompt, despite how silly my questions were. The girls did a GREAT job at setting up our wedding, directing our vendors, and making sure the day was stress-free for me and my husband. The service team was great, the food was excellent, and the day was just perfect. The suites made for an extra special experience; allowed our bridal party to stay together and enjoy the weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
To share a honest review, the venue itself is beyond perfect but working with the staff is dreadful & false advertising.
I booked the Rusty Rail February of 2021 for my 8/27/22 W...
edding.
Over that time I have planned a lot & saved a lot of money to afford the wedding of my dreams.
When booking the Rail for your venue you are assigned to a wedding planner.. sounds amazing, right? Well, my original wedding planner had taken a different job so there was a small hiccup in getting our file switched to someone else. Really wasn’t a big deal until I realized this girl had no idea what was going on, still doesn’t have access to parts of the system and didn’t have the personality cut for the job. I would ask questions and the constant answer would be “let me check with my boss” “I am not sure, I will have to talk to my boss”.
I understand learning curves but when I am trying to work with someone at the venue for our upcoming wedding it is nice to get answers right away that are needed rather than getting the run around.
2 weeks before the wedding as I am trying to settle invoices I kept catching mistakes; the invoices were sent to me 3 different times because the first two were WAY over priced.
The day of the rehearsal was chaos. My wedding planner had no idea how to control 29 people so my PHOTOGRAPHER had to step in to coordinate. This caused lots of problems & the Rusty Rail staff was arguing with myself & my photographer.
The wedding planners comments were, “We have done over 200 wedding here, I think we know what we are doing”. However, you would think that is was their first wedding.
I had more people than expected at the rehearsal, and once I caught that I asked that chairs be added to the dinner table while we were rehearsing so there would be enough seats when it was time to sit down. That was not done which caused my guest to feel awkward and out of place later.
I begged to set up early but kept being denied to do. The next morning the staff did not begin any rearranging until 10am when they knew guest were arriving at 2:30pm. The staff was still setting up when guest started to arrive.
Because the staff was rushed there were things that did not get done & things that were missed.
I spent a lot of time on my cocktail center pieces, & right before I was about to walk down the aisle I realized my gorgeous centerpieces weren’t even on the tables!!! The staff rushed around again to rearrange during our ceremony while my guest were busy.
The next morning was also rushed as the Rail schedule a tour at 11am or 12pm. To get up in the morning after your wedding, get cleaned up, find your things, talk with people, & to try to gather all of your decorations is always a little chaotic…. But to do all of that in a time crunch is frustrating. After spending THOUSANDS of dollars the least they could have done was schedule tours in the afternoon so no one felt rushed!
But that was no different than the rehearsal day- I couldn’t set up & decorate beforehand because they scheduled other events around my wedding.
Don’t get me wrong- my wedding was beautiful, the food was DELICIOUS & drinks were yummy. I had lots of compliments from my guest! But I only truly enjoyed the day from 2:30pm until I went to bed BUT everything leading up to my day was not how I hoped for.
The staff needs better training and the Company needs to slow down on their booking so each customer feels the luxury that the venue has to offer.

ciency of service and quality of food. Amanda, Roxanne, and the entire staff were so kind, helpful, organized, and responsive to our questions. They skillfully decorated the entire venue and thought of every single detail. Our bridal party also loved staying in the on-site suites and getting ready at the venue! We simple had the best day!
Our June 2022 wedding at Rusty Rail was better than I imagined. Not only is the space amazing, but the staff were friendly and attentive. They did a great job taking totes of decor...
I brought and styling the space with it. The food was out of this world and we keep getting rave reviews from our guests. It’s about two hours from where we live so the question we have been asked most was “how did we find this place?!”. The Knot wedding app🤩😂. After countless hours planning, it was such a great feeling to know our guests loved RR as much as we did. I can’t thank Roxanne and Amanda enough for creating a space and experience we will cherish forever!!
The Rusty Rail was a perfect venue for us and well worth every penny. Having a wedding planner included took a ton of pressure off of the planning. Communication was great and day ...
of they were a well oiled machine to keep everything flowing and let us as the couple really enjoy everything we had planned. Our dream wedding really did come true at the RR.
We are absolutely in love with the Rusty Rail from top to bottom!! From the moment we first walked in, there was no other venue that could compare. We booked this venue in 2019, sc...
heduled our wedding for 2020, got postponed due to COVID, and then finally had our wedding in 2021. Not to mention, we lived in a completely different state over a thousand miles away. Through it all, the RR team were our wedding-saving angels. They were so accommodating of our date change and the various other non-traditional aspects of our wedding. Chelsea and Roxanne were with us every step of the way and made our day absolute MAGIC. They truly do it all. Chelsea went out of her way to make sure we had everything we could need for two brides and two bridal parties, which we truly appreciate beyond words. We dropped off our decorations a few days before the wedding, and their team did everything beyond our wildest dreams. Chelsea and Roxanne were with us all night for everything we could need, and calmed all of our nerves. They helped make it the best night of our lives. Plus, all of the food is prepared in house, so no need to find catering! The bar staff took our signature drink ideas and made them perfectly, and of course the beer is incredible. The upstairs suites are BEAUTIFUL, were the perfect place to get ready, and it was amazing to be able to just take the elevator upstairs at the end of the night. There are so many cute and clever spots for photos getting ready, first looks, and everything else. We will never have enough good things to say about the Rusty Rail and the wedding team there. We can't wait to keep coming back for years to come. If you are thinking about taking a look at this place, absolutely go for it!
We love Rusty Rail so much!! We chose it as our venue and it was absolutely beautiful and the event coordinators, Roxanne and Chelsea, we’re truly amazing! Our guests couldn’t stop...
raving about how wonderful the venue was! Rusty Rail forever has a place in our heart and we will forever continue to visit for their amazing food and beer! Hands down a 5/5 experience! Bonus, it was actually a lot more affordable than other venues and included a lot more for the price!!
I could have not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Chelsea and Roxanne made sure that I did not have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding. They brought my vis...

warm, cozy, winter wonderland. The day turned out even more beautiful than I imagined and the Rusty Rail staff took care of so much it made the day much less stressful for me and my fiancé. Not to forget, the food was delicious and the suites you can stay in are absolutely beautiful.
We absolutely loved Rusty Rail! Our wedding turned out way better than I could have ever imagined. Chelsea and Roxanne were fantastic and so knowledgeable. They made the wedding pl...
anning easy and took a lot of stress off of me as the bride! I was NOT looking forward to wedding planning at all & Chelsea made it so much easier for me. She called me whenever I had questions or concerns, made sure everything was being completed on time, and contacted my vendors to organize everything the week prior to the wedding. The day of the wedding was coordinated, they made sure we had everything we needed and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food and venue space! The rooms they have upstairs are HUGE and beautiful, it was amazing to spend the weekend with all our closest friends and family in one place. We plan to try and go back for our one year anniversary since we love it there so much. I couldn’t have asked for a better place, they truly make you feel so special and try and accommodate anything you need.
Everything I could have hoped and dreamed of plus more! The Rusty Rail was our first and only venue we looked at... love at first sight! This place really is a one stop shop and wa...
s worth every penny! Chealsea, Roxanne, and their teams are literal God sends... from dealing with my dogs (special thanks to Nick who did great with them!), to keeping our wedding party in line, setting everything up for the rehearsal and wedding and keeping us on time, boxing up appetizers and bringing them to the farm (would recommend 10/10 taking the short trip for photos!) for us to eat while doing photos, helping with my 10, YES 10!, point bustle!, having food and cake boxed and sent to our suite for us to eat after the wedding, and a million other things I could go on and on about! Just simply the best and I could not have done it without their help! Took so much stress off my shoulders :)
Wow!!! Rusty Rail was AMAZING!!! Their staff was so SO accommodating, far beyond expectations of any wedding service! They even supplied my husband's family with car chalk to decor...
ate our car! ☺️
The venue itself is beyond words! Tall ceilings, white brick, stained glass, HUGE windows! The BEST lighting too!
Everyone loved the wedding, the staff, and the venue! Our pastor even noted that this is the best venue he's been to, and he's done MANY weddings!
10/10 recommendation, seriously just go see it, it is THE ONE! ❤️
My wife and I decided to use the Rusty Rail as our venue back in 2019. Our original plan was to have our wedding in May 2020 at our church in Selinsgrove and then have our receptio...
n at the Rusty Rail. However, our plans changed due to the pandemic. We still got married on our original date and then we planned an anniversary celebration for May 2021. As we were getting closer to our new date, we were having our doubts about whether or not it was even safe to have anything. We didn't expect Covid to still be playing a role in our decision making after a whole year but unfortunately, it still was. We decided to go for it anyway and we ended up having the most perfect night. Having a planner and so much more included in the venue fee was a huge plus for us and it made the celebration so much easier. Our plan definitely wasn't what you would normally expect but our planner and staff all did an amazing job of helping our night go off without any issues. They were extremely flexible and willing to work with whatever we wanted. We went into our night with fairly low expectations but we came out knowing that we made a great choice with the Rusty Rail. We had not one but two perfect "wedding nights" and the Rusty Rail played a huge part in that. From the helpful and amazing staff to the absolutely beautiful space, we cannot recommend the Rusty Rail enough.
PS - We HIGHLY recommend the Diamond Suite. It is incredible!
I cannot say enough good things about having our wedding at the Rusty Rail. Chelsea and Roxanne did everything they could to make sure our day went perfectly and smoothly. They tak...
e the time to understand every little detail that you give them in order to make your wedding even more than you expected. Over the course of the year leading up to the wedding, they made sure to check in consistently and update as needed. They made the idea of planning a wedding fun and easy rather than being daunting. They took my vision for our reception and made it ten times more beautiful than I could have ever envisioned it. We will always be grateful to them for all that they did for us and our best day ever!
I wish there were more stars that we could select to rate The Rusty Rail even higher; They truly were the best ever! Everyone on staff was professional, organized, and easy to work...
with, especially the wedding coordinator, Elyssa. She was quick to respond and made sure everything was discussed ahead of time and in place the day of so we as the bride and groom along with our families could truly enjoy the day. Without her and the rest of the Rusty Rail staff, our New Years Eve wedding wouldn’t have been possible. It was all booked, planned, and executed in less then 6 months even while the bride was finishing up graduate school. If you are looking for your dream wedding day without any stress the day of, don’t hesitate any longer and book it at the Rusty Rail - you won’t regret it one bit!
Our original wedding venue was cancelled less than 2 weeks before our wedding and we thought we’d have to call off the whole thing but the Rusty Rail Brewing Company stepped in and...
gave us our dream wedding with only 12 days to organize and plan everything. The staff was wonderful and so supportive during an extra stressful time. Elyssa organized and planned everything for us and made it seem like we had been working with her for months instead of just a few days. Despite the circumstances, we had the wedding of our dreams thanks to this wonderful (and gorgeous) venue and staff.

wedding date. Elyssa took a lot of the stress and worry away as our wedding planner. The hotel rooms are absolutely beautiful and convenient. Would highly recommend!
Brent and myself have always loved the atmosphere and rustic elegance of the Rusty Rail. When attending their annual wedding expo in January, Elyssa informed us of the last two dat...
es that were available for the year. After having the opportunity to explore the venue that day, I knew one of those dates had to be ours. Elyssa was wonderful to work with, guiding us throughout the planning process, ensuring we were staying on track with booking our vendors and finalizing details. About two months into planning, all non-essential businesses were shut down due to the pandemic. During this time, Elyssa and Roxanne continued to stay in touch, informing us of new restrictions and changes to the guidelines as they were announced. When it became uncertain whether or not we would be able to have the wedding on June 27, we were offered a backup date in 2021 to ensure that we would have the wedding day that we envisioned. When Union County went green on June 5, we were left with three weeks to do a majority of the planning that we were unable to do during the shut-down. Even with all of the additional hurdles that we had to overcome, our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to the entire team at the Rusty Rail. The ceremony and venue spaces looked stunning and our meal selections were delicious. We received so many compliments from guests. Thanks to Elyssa, Roxanne, and the Rusty Rail wedding team for exceeding all expectations that we had for our big day.
It is honestly difficult to put into words how wonderful our experience with the Rusty Rail was. My husband and I met when we were attending college near by and used to go to the R...
ail for dinner on occasion. I would always comment on how beautiful it was and how it would be a great venue. When my husband proposed at homecoming a few years later, he surprised me with a venue tour the very next day. From our very first experience with Roxanne, Elyssa, and seeing the space, we knew no where else would compare. Over the next year, Elyssa walked us through every step of the process and made sure every question we had was answered and our minds were at ease. She made sure to accommodate every special request and kept us focused and on track. The entire experience was simply wonderful. The Rusty Rail really does take care of everything. On the day of our wedding, we could really focus on our day and were not worried about any of the logistics because they were totally taken care of. We were married in January and a snow storm in the evening lead to some hazardous road conditions and the public bar at the Rusty Rail closed early. Elyssa took the initiative to work with our DJ and bus company to ensure that we could maximize our reception, make sure our guests made it home safely, and were refunded for any lost time, all before we were even notified that there was a problem. Everything about our experience with the Rusty Rail event staff went above and beyond our expectations and I really could not recommend them more highly.
If you're looking for a one stop shop for your wedding, the Rusty Rail Brewing Company is your venue! From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the one. The venue itself is beau...
tiful, with exposed beams and brick, and plenty of places for photos. We absolutely loved the all in one pricing, which made everything so easy. Seriously, so easy. The food, bar, staff, wedding planner, and so much more were all included in the pricing. My husband and I wanted to ensure that we wouldn't have to set up and tear down after the wedding, which wasn't an issue for the Rusty Rail. From start to finish, Elyssa, the wedding planner, kept us on track and checked in throughout the wedding process. All of our guests raved about the Rusty Rail, from the food and drinks to the atmosphere. Some even said that it was the best wedding they've ever attended and were impressed with every detail. We really can't recommend it enough!
I can't even begin to describe how absolutely perfect everything about our wedding was, and we owe it ALL to the Rusty Rail. The venue itself is a dream and the staff really makes ...
sure every single last detail is executed flawlessly, from the moment you book until the moment your wedding is over. Elyssa and Roxanne are miracle workers and truly do everything necessary to make everything perfect for their couples. Our guests were in awe of the space, the food, the drinks, the atmosphere; I can go on and on. We were told my so many guests how perfect the entire day was, and that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I truly cannot recommend this venue and this team enough. I only wish we could do it all over again! Thank you to everyone at the Rusty Rail who made our dream wedding a reality!
Such an awesome venue and space. Every staff member was fantastic to work with and was more than accommodating to help make sure that our day flowed and operated flawlessly.

ur wedding day. Elyssa, Roxanne, and the entire RR staff are the best in the business. Our bridal party, family, friends, and other vendors couldn't stop talking about the professionalism displayed by Elyssa, how organized and timely our entire day was, how perfect the set up/decorations looked, how delicious the food was, and how absolutely gorgeous the venue was overall including the bridal suite and groomsmen room we were all able to get ready in. It was the perfect backdrop for our fairy tale fall wedding. We will cherish the memories we made here for the rest of our lives and we will definitely be back to celebrate in the near future!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Rusty Rail, especially Elyssa. One of the most important things to me on my wedding day was finding a venue that I wouldn't have to s...
pend the days before and after the ceremony decorating and undecorating. At the Rusty Rail with Elyssa and her team, I didn't have to do a thing! From day one, Elyssa was so helpful and made the whole planning process less stressful. She would send helpful reminders at least once a month and was always so quick to respond to my emails and answer my questions. She even took care of blocking off hotel rooms for us for our out of town guests. The day of the wedding, I had no worries and I was able to enjoy the day getting ready in the beautiful suite on the 3rd floor. All of my bridesmaids and even my make-up artist commented on how calm I was. That was all thanks to Elyssa. After the ceremony, Roxanne went with us when we were taking pictures and showing us all the beautiful places to get awesome shots. She even brought us a plate of appetizers and drinks while we were taking pictures...which was definitely appreciated! Our photographer commented how the staff, especially Roxanne and Elyssa, made their job easier! When we got upstairs to our beautiful suite on the night of our wedding, there was a meal for each of us boxed up in the refrigerator, as well as appetizers and a bottle of wine! The venue is absolutely beautiful!! Guests are still commenting on our wedding and how beautiful it was and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. My husband and I will definitely recommend the Rusty Rail to anyone looking to have a beautiful, stress-free wedding! We are actually hoping to get invited to a wedding there someday so we can experience it as a guest. There is not one single aspect of our wedding day that we would change, and that is all thanks to Elyssa and the staff at the Rusty Rail!
Our day went as smoothly as we had hoped and has been on our minds ever since, thanks to the kind staff at Rusty Rails Brewing Company!
We were able to execute our dream and vision...
, with the help of the wedding planners. They even added some extra touches on our wedding day to ensure our guests would enjoy every aspect of the day that we had planned and decorated for.
We cannot wait to return in the future to celebrate our anniversary. All of our guests still rave and share with us how is was one of the best weddings they have ever been to!
Thank you Rusty Rails and staff for traveling along with us on our journey to a forever love!

Our family and friends couldn't stop gushing over how perfect everything was. It is a really amazing venue. It is stunning...even without any extra decorations! The food is delicious. We had quite a few allergy/special requests, and they went above and beyond to make sure all our guests were happy with their meals. I can honestly say that I had very little to worry about on the actual day. Elyssa and her team took care of everything. Literally, everything.

se as a "landing place" and to stay after made things so easy. Elyssa and Roxanne were amazing to work with! We were planning our wedding from across the country and Elyssa made things so easy with monthly updates and always being willing to answer random questions we had. Elyssa was so flexible with meeting with any time we were in the area. Everyone commented on the professionalism of the staff and how beautiful the space was. I would DEFINITELY recommend the Rusty Rail!!
It’s been a year since my wife and I were married at the Rusty Rail. Why did we wait so long to write our review? Mainly, laziness. After the wedding we were both fairly burnt out ...
from anything wedding related. In hindsight, however, that laziness gave us time to think back to our wedding day. What would we do differently? What didn’t we like? What would we change? What would we improve? What could the staff have done better?
Not. One. Damn. Thing! We’ve had the blessing of time to truly evaluate our choice to hold our celebration at the Rail. Looking back, I don’t think we could have asked for, not only a more gorgeous and perfect setting for our nuptials, but also for a more attentive, accommodating, thoughtful, and pleasant staff than those we worked with. From the second we made our decision and handed over the deposit to the morning after our day to gather our decorations, the team at the Rail was amazing.
First and foremost, Elyssa and Roxxanne were simply amazing. They were incredibly pleasant to work with. Both were extremely attentive to all our requests and thoughts and helped us not only deliver our vision but also to improve and build upon it. They took our baseline ideas and helped flesh it out into reality. At each step they kept us on track and made sure we were going to have a smooth wedding day. Their years of experience streamlined the whole process for us and no detail was overlooked or missed. I honestly believe that without them our day would not nearly have been as memorable as it is!
Next, all the staff at the Rail were fantastic. The service staff, both bar and food, were attentive and polite. We can’t count the number of guests who had nothing but great things to say about their experience. No meal was cold, no meal was mixed up, and everyone was handed their entree without delay so no one was waiting. After dinner, everything was cleared promptly, keeping our guests tables nice and neat. Each bartender was very friendly, warm, and great to talk to. The bar staff were very knowledgeable about their craft beers, as for many of our guests it was their first time to the Rail.
The food, oh the food! I’m so glad the Rail hosts a tasting of nearly every dish they have to offer for their weddings. Although, getting to try everything makes narrowing down your menu difficult. as it was all so good! The passed appetizers during the cocktail hour were delicious and there was plenty of servers to keep our guests’ stomachs from rumbling. For dinner, everything came out of the kitching piping hot and fresh. Based on our own meals and from our guests’ comments, each dish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It’s pretty incredible that with eighty or so guests, there wasn’t a single complaint. Kudos to everyone that was part of the kitchen staff that night.
Lastly, we have one more important “person” to thank and that’s the building itself. The Rail provides such an incredible atmosphere. You can see, smell, and hear the history of that building as you walk through all the floors. Our guests absolutely loved to explore each and every space. The staff kept every area clean and neat. The bathrooms were immaculate and well stocked with any toiletry a guest could have needed or wanted. So, it’s been a year, and hindsight being 20/20, we couldn’t have asked for a better staff or location for our wedding.

ing, and the guests, including Maeg and I, really had an incredible time. We are so glad we had our wedding here; such a beautiful place.
My husband and I have been to 100+ breweries together so when it came time to picking a wedding venue, I knew it had to be a brewery. Rusty Rail was the first of about 5 possible b...
reweries/brewpubs that we visited and we instantly fell in love. We thought we should at least check out a few other venues but, honestly, nothing could compare. The space is beautiful and the suites they have upstairs are absolutely amazing! The fact that we could do everything in one place (rehearsal dinner, getting ready, pictures, ceremony, reception, and even after party!) made such a difference. Added bonus that this one place was beautiful and with great beer. Elyssa and Roxanne were so so so helpful and amazing, before the wedding day but especially the day of. They took all of my worry and stress away and took care of everything while I was getting ready with my bridesmaids upstairs. During the ceremony and reception, they made sure everything went according to plan and did so in such a discrete way that I didn't even notice! They were both very responsive to emails throughout the process and the wedding planning guide they provide really helped a lot. I would definitely recommend Rusty Rail to anyone and everyone, even those who aren't crazy beer lovers like us. I got feedback from a lot of guests that said they had an amazing time. The atmosphere was fun and rustic yet elegant, space was beautiful (suites were absolutely gorgeous!), staff was helpful and attentive, food and beer were super tasty; overall, simply perfect!
The Rusty Rail really had it all: amazing venue, exceptional food, fantastic staff, and, best of all, easy and simple wedding coordination that made the planning process and the da...
y-of nearly stress-free for us, our families, our guests, and our vendors.
Rusty Rail's venue was absolutely gorgeous! We didnt want our guests traveling from a ceremony site to a reception site, since many of them were from out of town and had plenty of ...
traveling to do already. With Rusty Rails venue being able to have our ceremony and the reception all at one place, this made the day flow so much easier and allowed our guests to stay in one place all afternoon and evening to really allow them to enjoy the day.
With how beautiful the venue is in general, there wasn't a need to have too many other decorations. The rustic, romantic feel that it gave off alone was everything we wanted; simple, gorgeous, and eye catching. From the moment we walked into the venue at RR to see if this was a venue we would want, it took our breathes away immediately and our eyes filled with tears. We knew this was the place we wanted to get married at.
The staff was amazing from day one when the planning began. Elyssa was wonderful with always emailing us every month with the countdown and a check off list of what we needed to have done for each month. Any question you had, Elyssa got back to you immediately with an answer and more.
Roxanne and her staff truely made the bride and groom feel like they were the center of attention. From holding my dress when we were walking to and from places to get pictures, to holding and giving us water along the way on such a hot day, to making sure we always had a cocktail in our hands, we truly felt like royalty on our special day.
Roxanne and Elyssa made the whole year of wedding planning the most stress free, easiest, and enjoyable year a bride and groom and their families could ever have!
We would highly recommend Rusty Rail as your wedding venue, its gorgeous and huge, excellent staff, delicious food and beer, and it will be one day you will never forget!

o school and Elyssa was great about making the distance work and being flexible with my schedule. She checked in with us frequently and made sure we were on track with our planning. On the wedding day, she was great about handling everything and keeping everything on track so we could relax and enjoy the day. The food was amazing and the space is perfect! The suites upstairs are also incredible.

We are so happy to have had the chance to be able to work with you and the Rusty Rail truly benefits from your services. Thank you again for making such a memorable experience.

tered to our every need. It was like we had our own personal wedding planners. The venue is so beautiful with the hard wood floors, beams, and exposed brick. The ceremony space could be dimmed down, and gave it such a romantic feeling. Every detail was perfect. We had so many compliments on the food and beer. It is such a beautiful space. My sister originally had her reception at Rusty Rail and I knew I had to do the same with my ceremony and reception. I would recommend this venue to anyone who would love to have their entire wedding day in one place. It was so nice to not have to leave and go anywhere else. We were able to get ready in one of their suites and even spent the night of the wedding in one. What a perfect wedding! Thanks Rusty Rail!.
Boy, where do I start? The Rusty Rail is the BEST venue for a wedding. Hands down. No comparison. My wife and I got married at the Rusty Rail on September 28th and the experience w...
as the best. Roxanne and Elyssa were fantastic for the whole planning process and the care, excitement, and interaction with us for the wedding day and the day before were so great.
We got married 90 minutes from home. For the 18 months leading to the wedding we were asked this question many times; Why are you getting married so far away from home? Our answer was simple - "Wait until you see the place".
Let me describe the venue itself. The wedding takes place on the second floor of the Rusty Rail. The first floor is a bar and the rest of the layout is a dining area. The second floor includes another bar, a gaming area, and more dining area. If you are a Penn State fan I can't think of a better place to watch a game.
The rest of the second floor space consists of the three rooms used for the wedding and two individual rooms that house the groom and groomsmen and a room for the bride and bridesmaids. The third floor consists of eight individual rooms including the huge suite we stayed in following the wedding. The Rusty Rail also opened up a huge suite for the bride and wedding party for the entire day to have makeup and hair done, right on site. How convenient is that?
The food is incredible. We chose three different entrees for the wedding and all were amazing. If you are a beer drinker it is worth a trip to try the beer. The Rusty Rail certainly isn't your normal "brewery" by definition. It is everything all wrapped up in one with a 10 star rating on a five star scale.
The staff were so friendly. Everything I needed was handled throughout the day, from the simplest of requests being more beer (!) to bringing a fan into the room. The coordination of the whole staff for the actual ceremony is choreographed to each exquisite detail. During pictures, I informed the staff that I wanted to make a slight table change due to some guests not making the wedding. One simple message into a microphone and done.
I urge all undecided couples to check out the upcoming Rusty Rail wedding extravaganza. We were there last year and we found every vendor we used at this event.
I know this has been a long review but the Rusty Rail is worth more than just a few cliché words. Roxanne and Elyssa - thank you! Rusty Rail - thank you! It was a pleasure spending a couple of days in central Pennsylvania, and in my opinion the Rusty Rail is the Jewel of Central Pennsylvania.
