Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens

My husband and I were married here on November 11, 2023. I don't know how I will describe all the fantastic things about this venue. Still, I will start with the staff, who were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! First, the planning process for the entire wedding was made so much easier by selecting a venue that already works with such strong vendors. Choosing from a list of curated vendors rather than just relying on a Google search eased our fears of last-minute wedding disasters. Dawn and Brian are excellent; I would recommend them and this venue to anyone. The entire planning process was actually enjoyable because of the system Stoltzfus has in place. Then, when the guests finally got to see the venue, they couldn't believe the location and the experience; it was just beautiful. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a single thing because of the process Stoltzfus had in place. I felt so prepared for the day and could focus on getting ready and photos rather than anything related to the day's logistics. Thank you so much for such a great experience.

I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible this venue is. Dawn and Brian are absolutely amazing and have such a great team here at the Homestead. You can tell how much they genuinely care about their couples and how family-oriented they are! From our first visit to the venue, we felt so comfortable here and so excited for our wedding. They have also built the ultimate preferred vendor team that works together so well and makes the day run incredibly smoothly. You can feel the love as everyone we talked to about the Homestead is so excited to be a part of any Homestead wedding day! The staff went above and beyond every step of the way to ensure our day was amazing. Dawn and Brian both worked tirelessly to help us carry out our vision for our wedding day putting in many hours answering all our questions and making sure we felt prepared and excited. Everything was perfect for us thanks to both of them, the rest of the team, and our amazing Stoltzfus coordinator, Ginger! We had such a beautiful and stress-free day! Our guests raved about the gorgeous venue and how they had the best time exploring the property and being able to enjoy the lawn as well as both beautiful barns and everything in-between. Thank you so much to Dawn, Brian, Ginger, and the entire Stoltzfus Homestead team!

My husband and I were married here on June 17th. If you are considering booking Stoltzfus for your wedding, you will 100% not regret it. When I tell you everything was absolutely perfect, I mean it. From the day we booked our wedding date, Brian and Dawn (the owners) were so helpful, kind, and welcoming. Guests have been raving about how amazing everything was. The property is beautiful. There are so many little spaces for guests to mingle, play games, and enjoy their time during the reception. If you do choose to go with Stoltzfus, you will enjoy every minute of your wedding day and have absolutely no worries at all. I wish I can go back and relive our perfect day, all because of the amazing staff at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens!!

This is the best wedding venue with the best people! They did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding and we are so sad the day is over. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure a smooth perfect day and it's very evident they truly care about their couples. Thank you brian & dawn!!!!!!

I really can not say enough about this venue, the thoughtful & amazing owners & the homestead staff. The entire experience was nothing short of what every bride should experience while planning their wedding. All my endless questions/ emails/concerns addressed immediately, the many helpful & extremely informative tips&emails from the owners throughout the planning, and the amazing wedding coordinator they pair you with. Every person who works at this venue goes above & beyond, but especially the owners & coordinator. There was a mix up with our cake vendor, and we were left with NO CAKE on our wedding day. Before I was even informed of this hiccup, the owner Brian went out to the grocery store and bought a little birthday cake for us. Our coordinator took off all of the confetti and made it a beautiful white "sweetheart" cake to make sure we at least had something to cut. That is the definition of going above & beyond for one of their couples & shows truly how genuine they are. This is such a beautiful venue with many new additions being added throughout the years! The bridal suite is also an absolute dream. I had the best time getting ready with my girls in it. My husband and I are so grateful we had our wedding here & even more grateful for the relationships we've gained because of it! Brian, Dawn, Chela especially, we love you guys so much & will always remember your kindness ♡

Every single person affiliated with Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was a JOY to work with! They truly care about you as people and love what they do. The whole process is streamlined to help you create your dream day. Choosing them as your ceremony/reception venue is the best choice you can make!!

My husband and I had our wedding at Stoltzfus about 2 weeks ago and it was truly the best day of my life. I will recommend Stoltzfus Homestead again and again to anyone getting married. Every guest that I talked to said that this was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to. The cigar and whiskey bar was a huge hit along with the icicle bicycle, fire pit, and everything else that this venue provided. The venue makes everything so easy from having preferred vendors to choose from to an entire array of items to pick from in their prop shop. The prop shop included so many unique items and it saved on the hassle of the wedding party worrying about transporting decorations because Stoltzfus provided set up and tear down of any items rented through them. Dawn, Brian, and their team were so attentive and detail oriented. Dawn and Brian were also present through the entire day so if I ever needed anything, they were there to help.

Simply incredible experience. Dawn, Brian, and Ginger made us feel like we were a part of their family from the get go. Everything flowed so amazing on the wedding day and the prep beforehand was thorough and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. The property is beautiful and the amount of time they spend on the landscaping and getting the venue ready for the day was more than we could have expected. So many of our guests asked, " where did you guys find this place?! It is beautiful!!" The amount of space and different areas around the property give you so much flexibility for pictures, ceremony, and simply for guests to enjoy throughout your wedding celebrations. We really couldn't have imagined our day to turn out any better and so much credit is due to the Stoltzfus team and Ginger for everything that goes into it behind the scenes and for the way they treated us the entire time. Highly recommend!!!

We had our wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead in April of this year. We had found and toured a few other venues in the area and this was our first venue tour during the process. I think we knew this would be the one but we continued to look at other options. Brian had given us a tour and there was something calm and reassuring about his demeanor which made two very anxious people, comfortable. After touring three other venues, it was obvious that Stoltzfus was unlike any other. Not only is the venue affordable, but we loved the beautiful indoor options. After making our decision, then came the planning process. As the first child in my family getting married, I did not know what to expect. Dawn and Brian helped to solidify and bring all areas of our day together. We wanted a venue that is organized, enjoys the vendors that it works with, and helps to relieve major stress surrounding the big day. Stoltzfus did all that. Their prop shop had all the decorations that we needed and for a good price. They have certain vendors that they suggest you choose from and I was SO thankful for that. The process with florals, the DJ, food, photography, and our wedding coordinator (love Chela) came together flawlessly. Then came our wedding day. Torrential downpour with wind all day. Stoltzfus Homestead went above and beyond for us with umbrellas, towels, lots of planning ahead with canopies/coverings, etc etc. I never thought I would say that a wedding day full of rain would be a good day, but I was wrong. It was a PERFECT day. I will forever be grateful to how hard the staff at Stoltzfus Homestead worked to keep the day amazing, focused on us, and positive for all involved. Brian and Dawn even offered us to come back for a campfire and drinks since we had day full of bad weather. The kindest people. Stoltzfus Homestead thank you so much for everything, we are eternally grateful!

When searching for our wedding venue- we reviewed and saw many sites -we wanted a venue that felt like lancaster but was also modern- Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was that and SO much more. In the end we felt like we were part of the family. There is history on site with the tobacco barn and grand barn while also being updated and always adding something special like the secret garden where we had our first look. Dawn, one of the co owners- is personable and detailed, your wedding will go off without a hitch. When booking you have to choose one of their DJs and Caterers from their preferred vendor list-this is so helpful because it narrows down from the abundance of vendors out there while also allowing you the freedom to choose what you want to spend. closer to the wedding we worked more with Brian and Matt-they are some of the hardest workers I know-ensuring your day goes as you wish and keeping the property trim and clean. I could say so much about this venue, it truly was the perfect day and one we will reflect on for the rest of our lives. We wish we could relive our day-but writing these reviews and trips back to the site will have to do! -Allie, Logan and Parker

Our wedding in May at Stoltzfus Homestead was amazing! Everything ran smoothly and the venue was extremely clean and well taken care of. Brian, Dawn, and Ginger helped us out along the way to make everything as easy as possible. The only complaint we had was that our wedding night ended!

This place is amazing. Not only is the venue gorgeous but the owners/workers are amazing. They have everything outlined and makes it feel like big parts to plan are a breeze to do. They go above and beyond for their couples. The day of coordinator we had was Ginger and she is amazing, she keeps you smiling the whole day. We are so blessed to have found this place and to be able to call it were we became husband and wife.

This was the first venue my husband and I looked at and instantly fell in love! Our wedding was everything I could have imagined and more. Dawn and Brian were incredible to work with and very personable. Chela was our coordinator for the day and let me tell you that woman knew what i needed before I even knew I needed it. They also have so many props you can rent through them that give your wedding the perfect rustic touch. Do not hesitate to book your wedding here it was seriously the most perfect day and there are so many beautiful places to take pictures!

Every part of my wedding was absolutely perfect! There was no hiccups and everything went so smoothly and they turned my dreams into reality!

If you’re looking for a wedding venue STOP RIGHT NOW your search is finished ! I got married here back in September and it was everything I could have asked for . Dawn and Brian were absolutely amazing and made everything as easy as possible . The whole staff is wonderful and they want to make sure you have the perfect day . Like I said before, stop searching , the Homestead is the best venue for your wedding !

I had my eye on this venue before my now husband proposed. We toured multiple venues but Stoltzfus was always my number 1. I’m so glad we decided to book with Stoltzfus and had the most magical wedding in May of 2022. The preferred vendor list/open house/list of items to rent made the wedding planning process so much easier. The vendors we selected lived up to our expectations and outdid themselves. Dawn, Brian and Ginger were so friendly and very organized which helped the wedding day run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, we were able to enjoy ourselves the entire day! It was truly the most magical day and I reminisce our wedding everyday. I keep telling my husband “let’s get married again”!

This past July I had the pleasure of working with Dawn & Brian at Stoltzfus Homestead and Garden. From the initial meeting to look at the venue up until the day of the wedding and even after Dawn, Brian, & the entire staff at the Homestead were so helpful, kind, and answered every single of my questions and put all of my fears and concerns to rest making our day the most wonderful day.

The staff at Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens were all incredible! Everyone was so welcoming and easy to work with! Everything from the beginning to the end was well organized and they made all our wedding dreams come true! The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and everything we could ask for. My husband and I are so grateful that we chose this venue for our wedding day and will be dreaming of that day for the rest of our lives.

Such a unique beautiful venue! There is something for every type of wedding guest and the staff at the Homestead is phenomenal. They take care of every detail and work with you to make sure your day is the best. Added Bonus they give you a list of some of the best vendors to work (caterer, DJ, Photographer, etc) with that know the Homestead and it makes the day go smoothly!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Our wedding exceeded all expectations! Dawn and Brian truly care our their venue and their couples. They truly want everyone to have a perfect and easy day! They are continually working to better than space and provide all the amenities guest could imagine. Chela was our wedding coordinator and she ensured that everything ran as smooth as could be. She was working diligently to ensure every detail was perfect all while making sure my husband and I were completely taken care of! All 3 of these people and their staff should be proud of the incredible work they do!

There are not enough good things I can say about this venue and the amazing staff who work there! Dawn was incredible from the beginning of our booking until the day of the wedding, which ended up being unexpectedly delayed by 2 years due to covid. Dawn made every step easy, and kept me calm throughout the rocky process of trying to plan an international wedding during a worldwide pandemic. The venue is stunning by itself, and the caring staff put it over the top. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Book them now!

My husband and I loved this venue! They were extremely helpful in finding/recommending other vendors such as catering/photography/hair/etc. which were all wonderful. The venue itself was beautiful from the ceremony tobacco barn to the reception grand barn and everything in between. We loved working with Dawn, Brian, and our wedding coordinator who was from the venue as well. They made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and totally at home. We didn’t feel like planning a wedding was that hard at all (and we didn’t have a huge budget) so that really says something about how much help they were. They accommodated all of our needs and we couldn’t be happier with our choice (and each other).

We had our wedding at Stoltzfus in June 2022 and it was truly a perfect day. We first toured the Homestead in Jan 2021 and from that point on, we knew this was the perfect venue. Brian took the time to show us around and got us comfortable with the property and offerings. It was also the dead of winter but was clear the venue would be beautiful in the spring. We signed the contract very soon after our first visit and from that point on we were in good hands. All of our vendors came recommended from Dawn and we loved each and every one of them. The open houses were above and beyond and allowed us to visualize all the potential possibilities for our wedding. Our wedding day turned out absolutely perfect and I credit that to a beautiful venue and an amazing team of people. Thank you to everybody who made our day so special!

Where do you even begin when everything you ever wanted your wedding to be happened just the way you imagined! We knew once we stepped foot on the property that this is where envisioned our special day taking place. There are so many beautiful places for pictures and for our videographer to capture. The venue offered many places for our guests to hang out and lounge, not only during cocktail hour but during the reception as well. Dawn and Brian are so knowledgeable in their venue and in weddings that they were such a huge asset for us when planning our special day! I was able to email or call Dawn with any questions I had during the planning process. They even allowed us to have Alpacas (my absolute favorite animal) at our cocktail hour as it was a gift from my mother! They allowed us to come visit the venue so our families and bridal party could get a feel for the planning our wedding day details. Dawns helpful emails about vendors, prop offerings from the venue, and everything in between out my mind at ease about planning our wedding. They covered every little detail, and made sure our day would be as we wanted it. Chela our coordinator was a delight and made every little detail come to life and words cant even begin to express what all she and the staff did to make our day wonderful. Even when our cake decided to melt, Chela pulled off some baking magic and allowed us our cake cutting without a hitch. I could honestly go on an on but because of all the staff and their hard work our day will be something we never forget! If you decide to use them as your venue you will NOT be disappointed!

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at the Homestead. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Our day went so smoothly and all the guests had a blast. Lots of awesome places to take pictures for years of memories as well!Highly recommend getting married here if you are looking for a beautiful barn wedding, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful scenery!

My husband and I had our wedding here in June and the whole day was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Dawn and Brian were so supportive throughout the whole process and made everything so simple! On the day of our wedding everything went off without any issues, props to our fantastic coordinator Chela!! Our guest still rave about this place, and everything they had to offer!

Add us to the list of 5 star reviews for Stoltzfus. There is a reason why you see all 5 star reviews for as far back as you can scroll. From the moment we took our first look at Stoltzfus in January 2021 we knew this was the spot. We were fortunate to have a perfect day so Stoltzfus could show off its beauty. As all have said Dawn and Brian make everything as easy and low stress as possible. Courtney, our day of wedding coordinator was a perfect match for Abby and greatly appreciated. We can't thank eveyone enough for making our daughter's big day about as perfect as you can get and a dream come true!

Stoltzfus homestead went above and beyond and did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding. They are extremely detailed in their meetings which makes the wedding day go by without any issues. It was a completely stress free day for me and was absolutely beautiful.

Where do I begin.....my daughter knew Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was the place she wanted to be married the second she stepped foot on the property. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful, full of color and texture, just stunning. The two restored barns for the ceremony and reception are breathtaking. The wedding just took place this past Saturday and I could not wait to share my review. If you are thinking about having your wedding here, DO IT!! Their team is so professional and knowledgeable and everything happens without a hitch, they have their system down! I want to mention in particular Dawn who was so helpful along the 2 year planning process. Brian who was just calm and amazing the day off for both property and bartending. Chela who was our day of coordinator, don't know what we would have done without her and her pleasant and calm demeanor and her ability to keep everyone straight and on the timeline. I have control issues, LOL, but, didn't even think twice once explaining my daughter's vision for her decor and then handing off our decor. I couldn't wait to see how they utilized it and decorated everything and boy, it did not disappoint. All of our guests commented about how stunning everything was. As I danced away on the dancefloor, I looked at the tables and not one single person was still at their table, they were dancing, playing lawn games, walking the beautiful property or relaxing around the fire. That is the sign of a GREAT reception. I will end with saying that the entire day from start to finish was stress free, perfect in every way and truly magical.

My husband and I got married at Stolfuz in August of '21. We wanted a laid back barn theme rustic wedding and the homestead exceeded our expectations. Since the day we saw it we knew it was the one. Our main want for the wedding was having our dogs apart of it. We loved that they offered this. We also loved the yard games our guest could play. We did not want a typical wedding we wanted it to be fun and the yard games helped. The staff was so incredible I don't think I stressed over anything the entire time planning. The day of was so relaxing and stress free as well. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a venue.

You know Monica from the TV show Friends? Well, that was me as a bride. I had binders, spread sheets, sticky notes, labels, everything. But Stoltzfus, Dawn and then entire staff helped me relax on my big day. I and my husband are from NJ and traveled to Stolzfus in February 2019 in the dead on winter. The grass wasn't green, the flowers were not bright in color, there was no decor set up from a prior wedding, and yet, we fell in love with the venue. The 2 hour drive home, all we talked about was how stunning it was and how simple but beautiful each building was. Throughout the 3 years of planning, I emailed Dawn every little question I had and she was quick to respond with her best suggestion. I enjoyed visited each years open house. As there are many parts i appreciated, i really appreciated how Stoltzfus suggested or required other vendors such as flowers, food, hotels. It took the stress away of finding someone. It brought ease knowing we were hiring someone who has worked with Stoltzfus and knew the staff and lay of the land. We knew we wanted a barn wedding and Stoltzfus just amazed us. You would never know there was a housing community right behind the venue. I can not rave enough about the staff. All of our guest commented how beautiful the land was, how we were able to enjoy an indoor/outside wedding, how all the staff were so nice and accommodating, and our favorite part, we were able to have our fur baby apart of our special day. If there were any issues on our wedding day, we had no clue and tat is all due to the staff working their magic. I wish everyday was our wedding day so we can just visit the venue. We can never thank the Homestead enough for allowing us to start our life together at their amazing venue!!

My wife and I got married at Stoltzfus in august of ‘21!! We wanted a barn wedding. We looked at multiple venues. The first time we seen Stoltzfus we knew that this was it! They let us have our dog in the wedding which was one of the main things for us. They also had yard games like Cornhole and Jenga. Brian, dawn, and Chela we’re amazing! They were very accommodating and helpful! It’s almost been a year since our wedding and our guest still talk about how nice the venue was and how much fun they had! I highly recommend Stoltzfus for your wedding!

The individuals at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens made our wedding day even better than we could have ever imagined! It was an absolutely beautiful day and they ensured that everything went perfectly. I would recommend this venue to everyone.

Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was a dream venue for our November wedding! When we first started looking for a venue we said we did not want a Lancaster barn wedding, but when we toured the homestead we realized it was so much more than that... From the rustic, simple charm of the Tobacco Barn where our ceremony was held to the stunning Grand Barn that blew our guests away... we knew this venue was the one! The staff was so helpful! Courtney was AMAZING, she took care of everything the day of!! Brian and Dawn were so helpful with the planning process and really steered us in the right direction.. even through the wind and rain, the day was everything we could have dreamed of!

My son and his wife had their wedding and reception at Stoltzfus Homestead. It was a beautiful venue. The owner Brian and his wife are great to work with. The wedding coordinator, Ginger, was awesome! She kept everyone on time and organized! We didn't need to worry about anything. They provide everything you would need - caterer, florist, DJ, photographer, decorations, etc... I would HIGHLY recommend Stoltzfus Homestead to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Stoltzfus. My fiancé and I were about to sign a contract with another wedding venue, but the minute we pulled onto the Stoltzfus property we looked at each other and said, this is the one! The grounds are kept in amazing condition with beautiful landscaping. There are so many interesting areas for your guests to explore, no one will be bored! Our guests have been telling us for months how much fun they had at our wedding between the lawn games, bonfire, and dance floor. It rained for about 75% of our wedding day, but the staff at Stoltzfus kept my spirits up and did everything they could to make sure I was able to still have my first look with my groom and remain dry for the ceremony. Our coordinator Chèla was phenomenal, she took care of so many things behind the scenes and I honestly don’t know how we could have had our day without her. Dawn and Brian are the sweetest, most considerate people. They made us feel special and heard. Our guests really enjoyed chatting with Brian as well! I don’t have a single negative thing to say about Stoltzfus, we love everything about it. 💕

Where do I even begin with Stoltzfus Homestead? From the moment we toured this venue, I instantly fell in love with the esthetics and had a vision in my head of what my dream wedding would look like. But honestly, it wasn’t the venue itself that sold me. We had a tour with one of the owner Brian, and he sold us!! Not only did we just get a tour of the place, he walked us through as is we were a guest arriving to our wedding day. From the walk up to the ceremony barn and set up, to the cocktail lounge/fire pit, and finally to the Grand Barn for the reception, it’s honestly hard not to fall in love with all of what the venue has to offer. This was definitely a top contender as soon as the tour ended, but what sealed the deal for us chatting with Brian afterwards with next steps and pricing. I knew Stoltzfus was “a la carte” but I didn’t expect them to have a list of partner vendors to choose from (various styls + pricing options) which made the whole planning process SO easy. No doing your own research, hunting down vendors and guessing who to go with (esp if you’re not from the area!) by the end of the conversation, I wouldn’t let my fiancé leave without us choosing a date and putting a deposit down. Just like when you find your dress, I KNEW this was my venue! The other owner and wedding consultant Dawn was simply amazing to say the least. She emailed every few months with updates on who/what to book leading up to the wedding date (hotel, transportation, etc) to help guide you, as well as props and services they offer for rent to make your day more special and affordable. She truly helped bring my vision to life by recommending and providing decor, even up until the morning of when a bridesmaid forgot a box of decor! It was a relief having a (better) backup plan. I am so blown away by both Dawn and Brian, and our day of coordinator Chela! for being there on our day and making sure everything went smoothly. It’s truly a blessing that we found Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens, the whole team + vendors care SO MUCH about making your day perfect and stress free- they are there every step of the way. It’s hard for me to say what part was my favorite (tiny house bar, sparkler send off, new bridal suite, or the awesome cocktail lounge that looks like Joanna Gaines designed it!!!) but I do know that choosing Stoltzfus Homestead was the best decision I’ve ever made!

My (now) wife and I knew we had found our wedding venue within minutes of arriving on the property. It was exactly what we were looking for - historic, unique, authentic (i.e., not decorated with stuff from Hobby Lobby like others we visited), and something that would "wow" our guests. Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens checked all of those boxes and more. The buildings and grounds were beautiful and well kept. The staff was well organized and helpful. All questions were answered within a day, and usually within an hour or less at all times of day. One thing that especially stood out was how well the venue handled the rainy weather that unfortunately plagued our wedding day. They were well-prepared for the multiple changes of plans that were required as the rain came and went. The whole process of switching from Plan A to Plan B was seamless and I'm sure our guests didn't even know that last minute changes were enacted. I especially appreciate Brian's empathy and sense of humor as he sensed that my wife and I were both stressed and disappointed by the weather. Thank you, Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens, for a memorable wedding that was exactly what we were looking for.

We still can’t believe how blessed we were to have had our daughter’s wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead. We looked at several similar venues in Lancaster, but nothing compared, and our daughter knew it was right the minute she walked in. Having the ceremony and reception in two separate barns really made it special and they were each decorated differently. The grounds are spectacular. Their attention to detail is really obvious. Every time I was there, someone was gardening or sprucing up. Dawn and Brian made us feel like family from our first day of planning. We loved getting ready in the newly renovated Bridal Suite. Their on-site florist, Megan, of Pearls & Petals, really added to the beauty of the day with her gorgeous flower arrangements. The wedding coordinators are top notch. Pam kept everything on track and handled any issues that came up during the day. I truly got to sit back and just enjoy the blessings of the day. I can’t begin to count how many people said it was the nicest wedding they’ve ever been to. At most weddings, you have two choices; dance or sit at your table. At our wedding, the dance floor was full, there were people enjoying the comfortable furniture in the outdoor lounge, guests enjoying the fire pit and still others playing corn hole boards in the courtyard. There’s something for everyone and we all enjoyed every minute of the day. You won’t look further after visiting Stoltzfus Homestead.

The entire team here went above and beyond to make my daughter's wedding so wonderful! It rained all morning and into the afternoon, but they didn't panick - they had plan b for everything! Them being so prepared allowed my daughter to to enjoy everything leading up to the ceremony. And just like that, it stopped raining and we had a fantastic night!

We loved the homestead! Our daughter was married here at the homestead this summer and it was beautiful. All of our family and friends continued to tell us how beautiful the venue and day was. We were so pleased with all of the venue staff. We worked mostly with the owners and wedding day coordinator, who were all such a big help and made it so that we could truly enjoy the day. They kept things running smoothly and handled everything so that we could spend time with all of our friends and family. The venue is beautiful and the staff are all amazing. You will not be disappointed with the venue!

Our wedding was perfect this past June thanks to the amazing staff, Coordinators, and vendors at Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens. Everything was priced reasonably and they were very helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. The venue was stunning and a great day that my husband and I will remember forever.

Dawn and Brian are amazing from the beginning when we just went to look at the venue all the way to the wedding day itself! This was the first place we went and looked at and booked them at the end of our tour! They make sure everything goes smoothly! Not to mention the venue itself is absolutely stunning! From the getting ready rooms, to the ceremony barn and the reception barn they have everything and they take pride in their venue so everything is alway smooth sailing with them! They also have so many different things you can add to your wedding! From decor to having different coffee trucks and yard games! I would recommend that anyone looking for a modern rustic wedding should book this venue ASAP!

The homestead was the first venue we visited! I could not believe how much I loved it- it was definitely love at first sight! We went to visit another venue right after and the entire time I could not stop thinking about the homestead and called them right away to book our date! I am so happy we did. The venue itself is beautiful. It was so nice to have the ceremony in the tobacco barn and the reception in the grand barn. What really sold us on the venue was the outdoors. We loved the setting for cocktail hour and the outdoor activities that took place the rest of the night, such as the game package and camp fire. So many guests told us how beautiful they thought the venue was! Dawn, one of the owners, was wonderful to work with. She answered all of my questions the entire year leading up to the wedding and provided me with an abundance of helpful information. The homestead also provided us with our wedding coordinator, who also was named Dawn. She made everything run smoothly and flawlessly on our wedding day. There was so many things that needed to be done and she helped the day keep moving! She decorated the venue exactly how I wanted it. I came to her with very specific ideas and visions and she made the venue look better than I could have ever imagined! In addition to that, she was there handling any bumps in the road the entire day and handling things that I didn't even know needed handling! Dawn handled so many different tasks throughout the wedding so that we could truly enjoy the day with all of our family and friends. She really took away a lot of the stress for us! All of the staff at the venue were amazing to work with. The homestead provided me with some vendors that they recommended I use and I am so glad they did. It made my life easier to find some vendors I knew had good reputations and I was so pleased with everything the homestead recommended. I cannot recommend this venue enough- I knew right away that I wanted to get married here and will forever cherish the memories we made at this venue.

We had our July 2 wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens and it was everything we dreamed of! The indoor/outdoor feel of the venue was perfect for a summer wedding. So many of our guests commented that they loved that there was something to do for every guest whether it was dancing, playing lawn games, drinking by the fire, walking the beautiful grounds, etc. Almost every guest we’ve spoken to since said that our ceremony was one of the most beautiful and sentimental they’ve ever witnessed; a lot of credit due to the Tobacco Barn and the magical environment it creates with its tall, white, wooden beams. Brian & Dawn, as well as our Day-of coordinator Chela, were amazing. They had everything from rehearsal to the last song of the night running perfectly. We didn’t have one worry that day - which is how it should be for the bride & groom! We couldn’t recommend this venue enough!!! Emily & Nick

If the other reviews didn't already convince you, just go ahead now and book your wedding at Stolzfus Homestead and Gardens. Our night was perfect. Not only is the venue amazing, but staff is incredible and ensure a stress free night. Brian, Dawn, and Ginger gave us the perfect night. Highly Recommend.

Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens was the perfect wedding venue. The entire staff made planning our wedding day so easy. Everyone from the wedding consultant to the wedding coordinator have years of experience and know how to plan a smooth wedding. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more!

There are no words to describe this venue....a simple term would be perfect. Our wedding day from start to finish could not have been more perfect. Dawn, Brian & Chéla are the most organized people I’ve ever met. We received so many compliments on how smooth our wedding ran the entire night. The grounds, the barn, atmosphere is nothing but outstanding. We will forever recommend our venue to any future bride and groom

We can’t even describe how amazing Stoltzfus Homestead truly is. This venue is absolutely beautiful and Dawn and Brian were so warm and welcoming from the start. Our day was everything we could have asked for and more!! Every single one of our guests truly enjoyed themselves. They all said how unique and fun this venue was. Our wedding day coordinator, Chéla, was an absolute sweetheart who truly made sure our day was everything WE wanted!! You won’t go wrong choosing this venue!! They truly are here to make your day special and are about what YOU want!!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens’ Wedding Venue. From the opening tour, impeccable communication throughout our entire planning to process, to our actual event day, nothing could beat our experience. The venue is absolutely stunning with two beautiful eclectic barns, an outdoor lounge, firepit, and flourished grounds. The staff at the Homestead are professional, down to earth, and talented. Every need was anticipated both before and during every minute of our special day to help things run smoothly without fret or stress. Our consultants ran everything so smoothly behind the scenes; it made the day fly effortlessly! Our guests showered us with compliments on the beauty of the venue and the incredible atmosphere the Homestead provided for a beautiful, relaxed, and enjoyable event. The prop shop was such a wonderful addition to our celebration simplifying our planning process and making the day fit together beautifully. The staff helped us have wonderful collaborations between our vendors and offered many different options such as décor and alcohol pack-it-up packages at the end of the night. The Homestead is an incredible venue with impeccable staff; I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

Let me start off by saying that this review will not do this venue, or their staff, justice. When you plan a wedding, you want (and hope) everything that day will be perfect. This goal was accomplished for us. The staff (Coordinators, Officiant, Bartender, Owners, and everyone else involved) are phenomenal. Their experience in planning and producing exceptional weddings is obvious from the start. There was essentially no stress, as they were on top of things from the minute we confirmed out date, to the day after the ceremony. The venue is gorgeous, the mix of indoor-outdoor spaces works together beautifully. The included services are made better by their large array of additional Props and Services, which you will want to add! I can't say enough about The Homestead and those working here to make every Wedding special. Jade, I and our family will always hold a special place in our heart for what you were able to deliver on our special day.

Best day of my husband and I’s lives because of Stoltzfus Homestead! An incredible venue with an even more incredible staff! Our wedding coordinator from the homestead made it the most stress free day and took care of every little thing. They made the whole process leading up to the wedding so fun and as easy as could be! The location is perfect and was so beautiful for our November wedding! We would recommend this beautiful venue to anyone planning on getting married in the future!

Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens is the perfect venue to get married. The property is beautiful, the owners and staff are extremely kind, and the memories are unforgettable. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and this is largely in part to Stoltzfus. Thank you so much for giving us the best day!

It has taken a while to put into words what The Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens and their staff mean to my (now) husband and me. We knew immediately after our first visit that we wanted to have our special day there. The fabulous owners, Dawn and Brian, made us feel like part of the family from the moment we arrived. The facility itself is stunning; it’s clear how much care and dedication go into the property down to the smallest detail. From the barn beams to the flowers, it is simply beautiful. We booked our Spring 2020 date back in Fall 2018 because my father needed a double lung transplant, and we wanted him to have plenty of time to heal. Each time we talked to anyone at Stoltzfus, they asked about him and our families and reminded us how excited they were for our wedding. It always felt special, like they genuinely cared about us. Fast forward to March 2020, when COVID-19 hit, we were devastated, confused, and terrified about what it meant for our big day. Dawn was a ray of sunshine; she was always cheerful and continuously kept us in the loop with new procedures and protocols, which helped ease our fears and anxiety. She worked quickly to help us rebook within the same year (in November), keeping our fingers crossed that the pandemic would subside. As the day grew closer, we thought about safety and ultimately downsized our guest list to only immediate families and bridal parties. We started to feel like maybe it wouldn’t be worth it to have our big day in such a beautiful space with such few people, and that perhaps we would have an intimate ceremony in a park, save our money, and pick a new date for the future. When I spoke with Dawn about it, she refused in the best way possible. She extraordinarily offered us the use of their venue for a lesser price than we had initially signed our contract for two years prior. Her words were, “We have all waited so long for this, and we want you to be blessed and have a beautiful wedding day at the homestead.” They cared so much about my fiancé and I that they were willing to offer us the use of their stunning facility for less than we had initially agreed. The wedding industry is a multi-billion dollar monster. I’ve heard horror stories of venues closing and mistreating couples just because they can…this is not the case at Stoltzfus Homestead. These people genuinely care about their couples and families, and we were honored and blessed to be married on November 20th. It was a perfect day, with warm (for November) weather and sunshine. Our 25 person wedding was everything we could ever have dreamed of, my father was able to walk me down the aisle, and the attention to detail was just as precise as it would have been for a 250 person gathering. We will always be incredibly grateful to Dawn, Brian, and Ginger (our wedding coordinator, who is an absolute JOY) for saving our wedding. They helped us coordinate with a streaming service so our extended family and friends could watch live and even allowed us to have a bonfire during our reception. We felt like we were dealing with family during the entire process, and when something is as stressful as wedding planning, you couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Dawn and Brian, you’ll never know how grateful we are for what you did for us, and we wish you the best and hoped that you are incredibly blessed.

This place is stunning. Dawn, Brian and Pam were wonderful to work with! Pam made our day perfect and run so smoothly! If I could do my wedding over again I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect in every way possible! If you are looking for a rustic or the barn atmosphere this is your place. Literally everything at your fingertips! Thank you for making our wedding day the most magical day ever even with COVID-19 going on.

My husband and I did not want a typical venue and our search for non traditional venues lead us to this barn in PA. The day we visited we knew we had to get married at stoltzfus. The grand barn was so gorgeous on its own and though we wanted an outside ceremony, the tobacco barn was a really pretty back up plan. Dawn and Brian were SO supportive, reassuring and empathetic during planning during covid. They're whole team was so organized and efficient, our wedding day was so smooth and everyone took such good care of us throughout the day. They had a team to help pack up our decorations and they did it so quickly. We received so many compliments throughout the night from our guests with how pretty and perfect the venue was. We lucked out as we were expecting a cooler wedding day and it was in the 70s! Though it was a bit cooler at night, the courtyard fire made it so comfortable, we couldn't have asked for a better day or a better team. Highly recommend this venue.

Stoltzfus Homestead & Gardens was the only venue we visited when looking for a wedding location. I had planned to visit several venues before making a final decision, but once I met with Dawn and walked the grounds, I fell in love and knew that nothing else would compare. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Two months later and I'm still getting messages from friends and family telling us that our wedding was the most beautiful and relaxing wedding they'd ever been to.   If you're looking for a venue that treats you like family, takes impeccable care of their grounds, has this whole wedding process down to a science, and literally makes you feel calm and that everything is under control, then SHG is for you. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on their magic. <3

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead. It was a perfect fall day. The weather was fantastic. The property is well maintained and taken care of. There was something for everyone. We heard from several of our guest that this was the best wedding they have ever been too. Makes me feel so happy hearing this. The tobacco barns are perfect for what we wanted. Dawn was our wedding day coordinator and she was wonderful and made sure everything was taken care of and everything and everyone was in their place.

We had the most amazing dream wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead and gardens! Dawn and Brian are the most perfect hosts. Our coordinator Ginger was absolutely amazing - we couldn’t have gotten through the day without her! Courtney was our officiant, she made our ceremony so memorable. Both her and her husband are such beautiful people and took care of us that day! Each of them paid such close attention to detail and took care of everything from beginning to end. The grounds are stunning and very well-kept. The day flowed very smoothly and we are so very grateful. If you are looking for a rustic barn wedding with an elegant touch.. look NO further. Stoltzfus is a dream come true!
