We had our wedding at Shakespeare’s on 3/27! The entire process was easy and stress-free, the space was beautiful, and our guests are still raving about the food.
The only minor i...
ssues were that the outdoor space heaters were out of gas, and a few guests had to sit on wet seats during the ceremony.
Overall, it was a wonderful place to celebrate our day, and we’re very grateful!

I have always dreamed of getting married in a castle, and Shakespeare’s in Ellwood City made that dream a reality. While the venue itself is breathtaking and regal, it was the staf...
f—specifically the coordinator, Dana—who made our wedding day truly perfect.
Dana is a total professional. From our very first tour, she was incredibly detail-oriented, walking us through every package and keeping us on a strict timeline during the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, she was a force of nature. She was personally setting up dining room tables in the morning and ensuring every single vendor was perfectly positioned. Because of her, we had zero fear of anything going wrong; we knew we were in the best hands. Even our other vendors went out of their way to tell us how much they love working with her!
Highlights of the Venue & Service:
The Bridal Suite: We spent the morning here for hair and makeup, and Dana ensured we had everything we needed to stay comfortable and pampered.
The Food: While we were too busy celebrating to eat much, our guests haven't stopped raving about the chicken and the pasta—it was a huge hit!
The Legendary Cookie Table: Being from Pittsburgh, the cookie table is a major priority. The event team spent an endless amount of time creating a display so perfect I actually went into the kitchen to personally thank them. It was a masterpiece!
We also have to give a massive shout-out to the bartending staff! They were incredible and truly went above and beyond for us. It’s so easy for the bride and groom to get distracted, but the bartender made sure we both had refills the entire night. We never had to wait or even ask—they were one step ahead of us at every turn. That kind of attentive, personalized service is exactly what makes a wedding feel high-end.
If you want a venue that combines a stunning, historic atmosphere with a team that works tirelessly behind the scenes to make your day seamless, book Shakespeare’s. Ask for Dana—she is simply the best in the business!

From the very first meeting of touring the venue with Dana (Miss D), the event/wedding coordinator, we knew this was the perfect place for our daughter to have her wedding!
Miss D...
truly loves what she does and it shows in every way! She was responsive, informative & helped us organize everything from the big to small details. She was there the entire time for the event from morning until night, & was there if we or our guests needed anything. Her staff did a fabulous job and we would highly recommend Miss D, her staff & Olde Stonewall Golf Club to anyone!

I honestly don't even know where to begin. I had a vision for my dream wedding in my head for YEARS. The minute we pulled up to the Shakespeare, I got so many butterflies. This was...
the first venue we looked at and by the end of the tour with Ms Dana we knew this would be the only venue we'd look at. This was where we were going to have our dream Christmas wedding. Ms Dana was a huge reason why we chose to book this venue immediately. There aren't enough wonderful words in the world to describe her. She is just so full of kindness, positivity, professionalism, knowledge, and warm hugs! I feel like she is part of our family now and needs be at every holiday dinner! Our entire family couldn't say enough good things about her, the venue and the unbelievable food. Our friends and family are still raving about the food. (Highly recommend the Prime Rib!!) We've been planning our wedding for 2 years and in that time we have sent countless emails to Ms Dana bombarding her with so many questions and she was always so quick to respond and very sweet. She eased our mind of any potential stresses we may have had and our entire wedding day went flawlessly and perfectly. It was just absolutely beautiful. It truly felt like something out of a Hallmark movie about a castle Christmas wedding. I had my bridal suite where Christmas music was playing, a beautiful Christmas tree was in it and Ms Dana had a coffee bar, champagne and orange juice set up for my bridesmaids and I! It was the perfect start to the big day. Our ceremony took place outside on their balcony and even though it was a cold December night, they had space heaters set up throughout it and no one even complained about being cold! We even had our rehearsal dinner at the Shakespeare! Sean is the one that helped us get that set up and he was just wonderful! He set us up in our own little private corner of the restaurant that was decorated beautifully and he even created a personalized menu for us. Our friends and family were so impressed with everything at the Shakespeare and I know our wedding will be talked about for years to come, and it's all thanks to Ms Dana and the incredible staff at the Shakespeare.
I know they say nothing is perfect, but our day had to be as close to perfect as it can get!

er venue that we had liked as much as our original. Shakespeare's blew our original venue out of the water. Dana was the best to work with. When we first met with her we fell in love with her. You could tell she had a passion for what she does and it shows on your wedding day and throughout the entire planning process. She was always very responsive to any questions we had and she was very accommodating to many of our requests. The venue is gorgeous! There are plenty of places on the property to get outstanding pictures. The food was excellent! We have received nothing but positive feedback from our guests about the food. We would HIGHLY recommend Shakespeare's to anyone looking to get married at a unique location and is in need of a Day of Coordinator that is truly there to make your wedding day spectacular!

Shakespeare’s offers a unique blend of old-world charm and beautiful grounds, creating the perfect backdrop for an event of this importance. And the food? Absolutely amazing.

My fiancée and I were congratulated on our upcoming wedding by each member of staff, multiple times, throughout the event.

Everything was delicious but the French toast casserole stole the show! The entire event was so easy to coordinate and plan thanks to the wonderful staff! All we had to do was come in and decorate, the venue and catering were all set for whatever we needed. I would have an event here again in a heartbeat!

We had our wedding at Shakespeare’s Restaurant & Pub this past June, and it was absolutely magical. From start to finish, the entire experience was beyond what we could have hoped ...
for. The castle setting itself is stunning, and the hall was beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.
The food was top-notch, and what made it even more special is that we needed halal catering — something no other venue we visited was able to provide. Dana, Shakespeare's wedding coordinator, not only made it happen but ensured that every single detail of the menu was perfect. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was.
Dana was truly the heart of our wedding day. She was on top of everything, from coordinating the setup to making sure every part of the evening flowed smoothly. She was there the entire time, attentive and calm, handling everything with care and professionalism. One unforgettable moment was during our ceremony when a rainstorm blew our marriage license away. Without hesitation, Dana and her staff chased it down and fished it out for us — saving the day in the most literal way possible!
We will forever be grateful to Dana and the team at Shakespeare’s. Their dedication, hospitality, and attention to detail gave us a wedding we will cherish forever. If you’re looking for a venue that is both magical and reliable, with staff who genuinely care, Shakespeare’s is it.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We worked with Dana who throughout the whole process was beyond professional, quick with commuincation, and helped calm any worries. Not only did we fall in love ...
with the location but the personality of Dana. She helped every step of the way even on the day of helped make sure everything ran smoothly. She would keep me in constant commuincation the day of prior to the ceremony and throughout the evening she made sure we had food and drinks.
We had our ceremony on the terrace, reception in the Grand Hall, and had half of the Windsor Room for the bridal suite. The food was also amazing! Guests of our wedding have been commenting on the venue but also the food.
I am so happy that we held of ceremony and reception at Shakespeare and would recommend any couple to look this location.

If you're looking for a truly magical wedding venue with incredible staff and a coordinator who will feel like family, look no further than Shakespeare’s at Olde Stonewall. From th...
e stunning castle exterior and golf course views to the simple yet elegant reception room that can be transformed into your dream vision, this venue has everything. The covered patio was perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the view overlooking the course made for a breathtaking backdrop—rain or shine.
What truly set this venue apart, though, was Ms. Dana, the on-site wedding coordinator. After touring multiple venues, we knew the second we met her that Shakespeare’s was the place for us. Dana is a total gem—attentive, organized, passionate, and warm. She answered every email within an hour or two, offered constant support, and truly went above and beyond in every possible way. Dana made the entire planning process feel easy, fun, and stress-free. Honestly, we considered her part of our family by the end.
During our rehearsal, Dana walked us through every detail with confidence and clarity. On the wedding day, when I was feeling overwhelmed, she gave me the warmest hug and reassured me with the words I’ll never forget: “I got this and I got you.” And she absolutely did. Everything was seamless.
The venue also offers beautiful photo opportunities everywhere you turn—inside and out. And one huge plus: unlike many venues we toured, Shakespeare’s has a fantastic rain plan. We were able to have our ceremony on the covered patio even with rain all day, and then, like magic, the sun came out just in time.
Shakespeare’s is a dream venue, and with Dana by your side, your day will be unforgettable. We are truly sad the planning process is over because Dana made it such a joy. If you're lucky enough to get her, trust us—you're in the best hands.

Dana and her team were incredible throughout the whole night. All of the staff were incredibly kind and attentive to every detail. Overall, because of Dana, she made our planning process and our wedding magical!! We will forever be grateful for her help and guidance. We cannot thank Dana and her team enough!

ption all at Shakespeares. I can honestly say that the level of professionalism was top-tier! From the serving staff, setup/clean up crew, to the hostess everyone was so attentive! A delivery truck showed up when we were taking our photos and a kitchen staff member on break asked them to move it so it didn’t ruin pictures. This gentleman did this with zero prompting! These people know how to treat a bride! I can’t say enough good things about our even coordinators and site manager, Dana! Dana, she is superb. I felt completely confident letting her coordinate everything and resolve any issues that came up! I will admit I was not a well planned bride!. I just struggled to make a decision and often need a lot of guidance. Dana prompted me when I needed it and kept me calm.
The food was phenomenal! I’ve never heard so many people RAVE about a piece of salmon before in my entire life! Again, we’ve had several events here and not a single one of those meals left me wanting. The site itself is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views. It’s impeccably clean. This is group is a well oiled machine. I can’t say enough good things about this venue!

what really stood out to all of us, including the guests, was the absolute professionalism, diligence, and disposition of the entire team, especially their coordinator Dana Loftion. Not only did she effectively, quickly, and amicably put up with my million questions through the entire year prior to the wedding, she HANDLED the wedding day without wavering at every single turn. She was one step ahead of every single one of us and knew what I needed before I even knew I needed it. The food was delicious, all of the staff were friendly and happy to help and quick to keep things moving. They let me help set up and decorate as much as I felt I needed to and took over exactly as I wanted. I appreciated all of the time and space to get ready there and also the access to both the Grand Ballroom and Windsor room, as well as the beautiful balcony through the whole wedding day. It went as smooth as imaginably possible.

We had our wedding at Shakespeare's in October, and Chelsea (the event coordinator) went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect on our wedding day! I seriously can't ...
praise Chelsea and the staff at Shakespeare's enough. My grandfather (who was our officiant), a man of few words, said it was the most beautiful wedding he had ever been to, and he's been to A LOT of weddings. Everyone had a wonderful time. The food was incredible, the views from our balcony ceremony were stunning, and the reception was the most fun I've had in a long time. People are still talking about what an amazing day it was a month later.
Chelsea made sure everything went smoothly throughout the day, checked in with me often to make sure I was okay and that things were going well, and she spent a lot of time solving issues that weren't even hers to solve. We had quite a bit of trouble with our florist, but Chelsea took the time and effort to make sure even the florists issues didn't stress us out. She did everything she could to make sure we had an incredible time, and we certainly did.
Leading up to the wedding, Chelsea was very quick and clear in answering any questions or concerns we had about the wedding. She took all the stress of planning a wedding away. I knew this year in particular everyone in the wedding business would be swamped with weddings that were rescheduled from last year on top of the new weddings this year. However, you wouldn't have been able to tell that Chelsea was overwhelmed with brides. She was always there to talk if I had any last minute questions. She was so incredibly nice and professional through the entire process.
I knew the first time I heard about Shakespeare's that it's where I wanted to get married. I'm a HUGE Shakespeare nerd, and after seeing the place in person, there is no where else I could imagine having my wedding. The whole day was simply perfect, and I'll remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you so much, Chelsea!!!

Countless times we deferred to her expertise when were unsure about a certain detail (Should we have a receiving line after the ceremony? How should we time cocktail hour? When should we cut the cake? The list goes on…). Nicole was patient, friendly, and personal through it all! On the day of the wedding, we had zero stress because everything was so seamlessly handled. Shakespeare’s has great relationships with vendors in the area, so they all worked together as an ultra-professional team. Our guests raved about the food—it really is second to none. We loved every detail of having our wedding here, and we can’t wait go back in a year to celebrate our anniversary!

Our guests raved about the entire evening and the buffet was great! Having our reception at Shakespeare's was easily the best decision we made when planning the wedding!

Had our wedding here in October. The scenery was beautiful, pictures turned out great, and not one complaint about the entire evening. The guests could not stop talking how amazing...
the entire wedding was. Had our ceremony and reception there (200 people) and there was plenty of room. Food was delicious! We also used their preferred vendors, all of which exceeded expectations. Nicole and her staff made the entire experience enjoyable from the day we first visited. Highly recommend. Kudos to Shakespeare's and thank you for making our day amazing.

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot we knew this was going to be the venue for our wedding. The scenery is amazing and we got some beautiful pictures. We chose to do the plat...
ed dinner and the portions were large and the food was delicious. Nicole and her assistants were great to work with. We dropped off our decorations the day before our wedding and they set everything up for us. We had minimal decorations (I bought 6 flower arrangements and we used six of their lanterns, a few candles, place cards, guest gifts) and the room looked amazing. If you are looking for a venue that does everything for you so you and your guest can enjoy the day this is the place for you.

r asked for. Wedding planning with Shakespeare's could not have been any more easier! They gave us recommendations with vendors they work with (florists, bakers, linens, and centerpieces.) when it all came together it was the most beautiful wedding and best reception ever! The food was also amazing! The staff did an excellent job attending to the wedding party and all of our guests. I would highly recommend Shakespeare's Resturant and pub for your wedding day or any event you need. Thank you again Nicole and all the staff we hope to visit again soon!
