Stoltzfus Homestead and Gardens

ficiant, 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.

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.

aveled 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!!

s 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!

. 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!

! 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!

ept 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. 💕

t 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!

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.

e 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.

y everything leading up to the ceremony. And just like that, it stopped raining and we had a fantastic night!

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!

ue was stunning and a great day that my husband and I will remember forever.

oothly! 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!

d 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.

o 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

awn, and Ginger gave us the perfect night. Highly Recommend.

g. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more!

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

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!!!

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.

ade 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!

o, and this is largely in part to Stoltzfus. Thank you so much for giving us the best day!

nd 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.
