Succop Nature Park

e of year! Just fair warning, it’s a difficult venue to make adjustments for in climate weather- luckily we didn’t have any problems!

s, they were always timely in getting back to us and very helpful. We had multiple walkthroughs and meetings along the way, and their advice and planning (including the rain plan) made us feel at ease. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and made for the perfect wedding day. So many guests complimented how unique and pretty the grounds were. Medure’s catering was phenomenal- both the menu and bartending! Having the catering included in this venue was another plus. We truly couldn’t have been happier with our choice and will always be thankful for Succop Nature Park!

g with the venue was incredible! There wasn’t much checking of the bathrooms throughout the night, I was told by the end there wasn’t toilet paper left and they closed down one of the bathrooms at the manor so guests were left unsure where to go towards the end. Again a small problem but as the bride you hope that this would be taken care of during the day. They were super accomodating when it was rainy all day and made our wedding day beautiful! Definitely recommend for any nature brides that just want breath taking photos!

helping the day go seamlessly. And of course it’s such a beautiful place! We also loved that it is part of the Audubon society and our deposit went to a good cause. We highly recommend them for any wedding or event!

our questions and we really felt they had all of the details ready for us. The house and grounds are already so beautiful that we didn't need a ton of décor. We had access to the grounds basically all day and there is a bride suite and groom suite for both sides of the wedding party to get ready on location. Medure's Catering is the exclusive caterer that works with the venue and it was the best wedding food we have ever had and the catering staff were absolutely wonderful. The price was much more accessible than some other venues in the area and we were so impressed by everything.

s event planner double booked their date and they lost their wedding date. Caterer’s, wedding planner, photographer, DJ we’re all already booked and deposits paid! All Succop could say was ‘sorry’, we will call you in a day or two to discuss. They never called, my son had to call them. they had no compensation, they were not even prepared to provide a list of alternative availability! Horrible experience! Totally Ruined the wedding experience ! Very unprofessional and very poor business practice!

ck and accommodating. Our guests all said “how did you find this place”. Couldn’t be more pleased.

The venue is extremely responsive, willing to work with you to make your wedding day run as smooth as possible. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking. Between the classic and cozy Macraig house that you will have access to to get ready in the morning, as well as host cocktail hour, the grounds are beautiful, with plenty greenery and the large pond behind the venue. I wouldn't change a thing if I could do it all over again. You can't go wrong with Succop!

autiful Pennsylvania nature. The Marcraig house (my personal favorite part of the property) is a historic gem, and every inch is filled with character, charm, and beautiful architecture. We had our ceremony right in front of the house and it made for the most gorgeous ceremony location. The pavilion, where receptions are held, is absolutely charming at night-time with strings of lights setting the ambience. Davlin, the coordinator, is a wealth of knowledge and so meticulous and helpful. I could go on and on... and I agree with others who say that pictures simply do not do it justice. Succop will always have such a special place in my heart after our perfect wedding day there!

setting is just so beautiful. Davlin was the coordinator and made me feel calm and prepared every step of the way!

for every part of our wedding. From getting ready at the charming estate house in the morning, our ceremony in front of the pond, and the pavilion for our reception. This venue is perfect if you are looking for multiple spaces and for guests to be able to spread out like we did. It made me so happy to see our friends and family enjoying themselves playing games on the lawn, dancing under the pavilion, and exploring the grounds throughout the evening. Everyone raved about how beautiful and fun the venue was as well as how fantastic the food was through Medure's (their required caterer). I am SO glad we found Succop for our wedding!! I cannot imagine our day being as perfect anywhere else.

o special. We could not have picked a more perfect venue. We highly recommend!!

was phenomenal to work with. She was very responsive, informative, and all around excited to help in any way. You can tell that Succop Nature Park has a lot of wedding experience and they know exactly how the day runs. I did not have to worry about anything knowing that the staff their is experienced in weddings. The carriage house is absolutely beautiful, the ceremony location outside the house was exactly as I imagined, and the cocktail house on the porch was a huge bonus! I would recommend this venue to anyone else who is looking for a venue that is outside of the box!

, pond 2, the provided arch, pavillion, and ofcourse the Marcraig house. The house itself has 2 suites with 2 rooms on each side, and a bathroom with shower + bath. We had a large bridal party and it could house all 40 people throughout the day comfortably. There are backup plans in place in case of poor weather, as the pavilion has drop down tent walls with windows. They do use an exclusive caterer of Medure's. However- I was very satisfied with them. Davlin & Medure's were very responsive throughout the entire process, and accommodating. The waitstaff was on point and very sharp. My only critique is that the dance floor is a little small, even with the additional seating that I purchased.

tell us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Couldn't recommend enough.

better place to say "I do". This park just has a charm about it that you can't find just anywhere. Davlin was an absolute dream to work with! She was so helpful throughout our entire planning process and she answered every question we had about the park and how our day would go. They provide SO much and are so helpful! I didn't know about Succop prior to our wedding, but I will 100% visit, again and again, to walk the trails and explore more.

o work with! I had so many questions leading up the the wedding day and she always answered them promptly. The fact that we could be there all day (from the bridal party getting ready, to the ceremony, to the reception) was a huge plus for us, as well. We received so many comments from wedding guests about how beautiful the venue was, too! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect spot for their wedding.

erful. The getting ready space was everything we needed (although I do recommend bringing an extension cord for more outlets). And we loved the ability to offer s’mores! While Davlin seemed aloof at times, Medure’s Catering was absolutely incredible, very responsive, and accommodating for us and our guests. Overall, Succop Nature Park was the perfect venue for our wedding.

ever been to. Not only was the venue stunning, but the services and help from the staff were over any expectation I could have had. The catering was amazing, the staff was ready for any surprises, and the venue was very clean. Everyone really knew what they were doing. We could not recommend enough.

ictures inside the greenhouse. Davlin was a superb help in getting all our details together and made planning from a state away in New Jersey as painless as possible. Lastly, how could we talk about how great a wedding at Succop is without mentioning their affiliation with Medure's Catering? Just like Davlin and everyone else told us, they are the BEST caterer in the area. We truly had a perfect wedding at Succop and highly recommend.

a pig roast? Challenge accepted and 100% delivered!! This venue is gorgeous and also has the most wonderful staff. Davlin Smith is the kindest, most organized woman I think I’ve ever met. She knows everything you may ask in regards to getting married at Succop Nature Park, and I mean everything. Because this venue is so beautiful and so versatile they have handled it all! She was always extremely professional and responsive. Her coworker Vince also was extremely helpful the week of the wedding and during the actual wedding itself! Medure’s catering does all the weddings at Succop and Pete and Kristen were also both a breeze to work with! They were extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions in a timely manner, especially the week before the wedding. They also are such a versatile company, they will literally do whatever you want, including using your husbands BBQ sauce recipe! Book Succop and you will have the wedding of your dreams!

wedding. I can't imagine having it anywhere else!

atural beauty. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was and had quite a few people say they want to get married there as well ;) Davlin and her staff were more than helpful and responsive to every inquiry and request we had. The venue was the perfect backdrop for a romantic day and our photos couldn't be more beautiful in the natural light. We loved having 2 large "get ready" rooms upstairs for bridesmaids and family members who helped set up. We got married under the Willow Tree which was STUNNING and unique.The Marcraig house was a beautiful location for cocktail hour and the pavilion comfortably accommodated our 130+ guests. Make sure to check out their open house in April to tour the grounds, meet Davlin, and shop around their preferred vendors.

e. The amazing outdoor spaces, the beautiful McCraig house, the pavilion illuminated with string lights, incredible staff, and affordability make this venue truly a gem. Our guests loved exploring the grounds and the house--they continuously commented to us or our parents that this was the most beautiful wedding that they had ever been to. The on-site staff was accommodating of our decor and set-up needs. Davlin was incredibly responsive, professional, and organized. Medure's Catering was great to work with, provided a delicious buffet, and allowed us to supply our own bar which was a huge savings. I can't speak highly enough of everyone we had the pleasure of working with to ensure our day was everything that we dreamed of!

helpful through every step. She made me feel assured and comfortable leading up to our day. And her staff is just on point. They were so attentive to make sure everything went smoothly. The venue itself is just breathtaking. We received so many compliments on the uniqueness of the house and the park grounds. It checked off everything I was looking for in a venue and more. And it was at an affordable price! I couldn't recommend this venue enough!

large receptions. The venue was stunning, and so many of our wedding guests commented on how beautiful it was and asked us how we found such a wonderful venue.

so helpful and organized. They helped to make our day run smoothly and were there to answer any questions whenever we needed. Davlin was extremely helpful in the months before the wedding with the dozens of last-minute questions we threw at her! She was very responsive and professional in every interaction we had. As for the venue itself, Succop provided exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue--lots of natural greenery and a touch of vintage, thanks to the beautifully preserved mansion on the park grounds. It was the perfect spot for an outdoor wedding, with ceremony and reception all at one location. Our 160+ guests were easily accommodated! Medure’s catering (Succop’s exclusive caterer) also did a fantastic job with the menu, service, set-up, and strike. Their staff were very friendly and attentive to our guests. They made an effort to take extra special care of my husband and me, which was so kind! Tables, linens, flatware, etc were all provided by Medure’s as well. Overall, we rate our experience with Succop 10/10. If you’re looking for a beautiful, natural outdoor venue with a mostly all-inclusive package for a reasonable cost in the Pittsburgh area, Succop is the place to be!

The house where cocktail hour is held has so much character that already that not a lot of decorations are needed. Davlin and her staff were amazing to work with and she was very helpful with suggestions along the way. We wanted to hold the ceremony outside but due to bad weather, I didn’t think that would be possible. The staff set up 2 locations just in case last minute the rain held off, and it did! I was so impressed with their help and dedication to make our day perfect! It was nothing short of that!

ing and all of them are pretty. Perfect mix of outdoor but safe. Davlin was so helpful every step of the way. Great value. Getting to be on the grounds all day is a major plus. Bringing in your own bar is a huge savings. Medure’s catering is wonderful. Seriously have you booked yet? It’s great. This place is the best.

eception pavilion were all well kempt and provided an outstanding backdrop for our event. Medure’s catering is the exclusive food provider. Their food is outstanding. We upgraded some options which proved to be well worth the extra per head cost. Two notes - the overall “success” of hosting a wedding at this site is rather weather dependent. We lucked out with full sun and moderate temps but if it had been raining or overwhelmingly hot, this venue would have been less than ideal. They DO provide sides for the pavilion and AC but only in the house which isn’t large enough for a seated reception. Also, this venue is rather DIY. Prepare to ask family and friends for a lot of help with setup / tear down because the venue will not provide that for any decorations or extras you are bringing. Overall would recommend to others!

helped ensure our ceremony & reception went smoothly. This venue is truly amazing and is one of the best values in the Butler County area. We especially loved the grounds. One side of our family is laid back and hung out by the bonfire/lake and the other side was able to get a little more loud on the dance floor. Medures was also a dream to work with. Their food was amazing, and at the end of the night they sent us home with tons of leftovers! We had absolutely no issues with setting up our decorations or taking them down at the end of the night- family came to set up centerpieces and everyone just helped clean up at the end of the night. Succop's was completely upfront about setting up/taking down decorations from the very beginning. The bride and grooms suite was an added bonus and had plenty of room for us all to get ready. Friends and family are still saying that our wedding was the best they've been to!

ere told before the wedding completely changed on the day of and led to a multitude of frustrations and disappointments. This is the abridged version due to length limitations on the post. If anyone would like the full story, I’ll be happy to email my review (w.e.simmons@live.com). • Davlin was double-booked for our final walkthrough. Penny continually cut us off and kept saying “we know what to do” and “don’t worry about it.” Didn't pay attention. • Wedding day called for rain so rehearsed in the pavilion. Neither Davlin nor Penny were present, but gave brief instructions, which they tried to change on the day of the wedding. • Originally told garden arch could be moved, then told no at the rehearsal. Expensive swag alread made for it. • Davlin was giving tours all morning on day of wedding. Barely saw her or Penny the whole day. Didn’t “coordinate” anything. We moved everyone along for cocktail hour, pictures, cake cutting, dinner, etc. I sen the head table to the buffet at 7:30PM, my husband, dad, uncle & mother-in-law helped get the other tables to dinner. Cake served long after dinner after everyone had either left or was dancing. • No one enforced the no-smoking rule even though we told them how important it was to us to because of allergies in our family. • Beware, they show off the shower and tub in the bridal room, but the shower is freezing cold hard water and the tub doesn’t work. • Staff tried switching our ceremony set up in pavilion on day of wedding because they forgot we had a head table and wouldn’t move it. Fought with them all morning. • Staff does not put table cloths on tables. Surprise! Your responsibility. • Staff will not clean mold from sides of pavilion near buffet. • Said we could use aisle runner in pavilion, then took it and hid it right before ceremony without telling anyone. Found out the moment before I came down the aisle. • Was instructed to put pavilion side down, but left it open so that everyone, including the groom saw me on the way from the house to the staging area long before I came down the aisle. • Said they would put out roses that we were giving to the mothers and grandmothers during the ceremony. Only put out 4 instead of 5 so had to “recycle” my mom’s rose on the fly. • Reserved all six heaters, and repeatedly asked for them to be put out, but they instead put out blower heaters after ceremony, which I specifically asked them not to do. Insisted that they knew what should be done. Finally put out 3 heaters part way through dinner and then a 4th which didn’t even work. Some guests left before dinner because it was so cold. • Told my brother-in-law “go f--- yourself" when he also asked them to put another heater out. • We brought bottled water, but water glasses were filled with iron-smelling tap water. Several guests commented it was gross. Left over cases of beer left out in the rain in the driveway. • Momentarily “lost” 50 cookie boxes. • Told us at rehearsal that it wasn’t a big deal if we weren’t out by 12AM, then after wedding complained that we weren’t out by 11PM and slammed the front door behind us. Didn't lift a finger to help with the set up or tear down. The venue is beautiful, but do yourself a favor and hire a wedding coordinator to fight these day-of-battles for you. Otherwise you're on your own.

in during the initial meeting. She was so helpful and thorough with all of the details that Succop offers. I was in love with the house on site and we both loved the nature aspect and the pond. I can’t say enough about the venue itself. It’s so beautiful and provides an interesting environment for guests to explore on the day. The staff go above and beyond. I was so surprised by how helpful and positive everyone was. The part I appreciated the most was how easy the day went because the staff were able to anticipate needs and everyone was so responsive. I can’t believe how everything came together and the Succop staff was a critical piece. Davlin was really great with everything leading up to the day. She was very responsive with any questions and was always positive. We are so happy we chose Succop and would highly recommend the venue.

the willow tree and have our reception in the pavilion. The mansion is a beautiful place to get ready in and to have cocktail hour. The price is very affordable and includes so much! You must use Medure's Catering, but that is a plus since the food is delicious. The staff at Succop are the absolute best at what they do and made sure that everything went off without a hitch. I recommend this place 100% to anyone who wants an outdoor and one location wedding.

We had an incredible day with our family and friends at Succop for our wedding! All of our guests have been contacting us about how beautiful the venue is and how wonderful the staff was to them. Succop is very accommodating and we just can't say enough about how incredible they are! Davlin was also extremely helpful and responded to all of my emails in a timely manner. We highly recommend Succop to anyone!!!!!

hing was set up perfectly and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. They coordinated all of the details so well with the caterer and DJ. The rooms upstairs are great for getting ready and the grounds at the park are amazing for photos. Our guests complimented every aspect of the venue and had a great time being outdoors. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone who wants to have an outdoor wedding!

ique! We had the most perfect day because of Succop :-)

so picturesque you hardly need to decorate at all. We had an outdoor ceremony at the arbor and reception under the pavilion. It was beautiful. They even have a space in the farmhouse to get ready before the ceremony. The caterer that comes with the venue (Medure's Catering) is fabulous. I received so many compliments on the food! Don't overlook this little known gem. It's a little out of the way since it's in Butler but I cannot recommend it enough.
