Wilson's Bittersweet Barn

dding day this past Saturday 9/17! Troy and Kara have been amazing from the beginning and Amanda was so devoted to being sure everything was absolutely PERFECT for us and how we wanted it!! She never stopped running around and being sure we had everything we needed as well as everything together for the big day!! We can’t thank you all enough and highly recommend you always!!! Thank you for the best most gorgeous day of our lives!!!😊

with and they are so personable. They truly care about you and your special day. The property is beautiful. A lot of time is put into maintaining the flowers and landscaping. LOTS OF GREAT PICTURE OPPORTUNITIES! All the little personal touches they put into your wedding day at the venue is amazing. They are very down to earth and feel like family! I highly recommend getting married at Wilson's Bitte

self. Troy and Kara are wonderful always there to answer questions.

at service

ke that they have indoor restrooms, and a place for both bridesmaids & groomsmen to get ready. They were also very flexible with our constantly changing schedule of the military, we changed wedding dates 3 different times. Our day was so special thanks to Wilson’s Bittersweet Barn.

believable! Every time we went to visit they would tell us about a new project and by the time we returned it would be finished! We loved the barn from the first say we visited!! The pandemic pushed us back another year and Troy Colby and Kara made sure to stay in touch with us while we re planned our big day!! The day of was absolutely amazing and we felt so comfortable!! I don’t have enough words to express how grateful I feel for having had the opportunity to celebrate our big day at Wilson’s Bittersweet Barn with our family and friends finally!

o knowledgeable about all aspects of planning the wedding and has an answer for just about everything. Definitely worth the money! The picture opportunities on the venue alone is worth the money!

ing and dancing inside and making s'mores outside. The Starner family was committed to doing everything possible to make this day special for us. Working with Try and Cara was a pleasure. We highly recommend this venue.

is lots of room outdoors for kids to run and play. They also have a fire pit which is nicely done and a nice extra for people to use. Troy and Kara were so helpful with where things should go and how the day should progress and were on hand the whole day to help out. Also, the 3 day access was wonderful as well so we didn't feel rushed or pressured to get things done. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

was definitely a favorite, and there is plenty of space to spread out during the night. My girls and I had full access of the bottom floor of the farmhouse to get ready, which was nice. I am so glad that we chose this venue. Highly recommend!

g venue they have created. From the barn to the the amazing gardens every detail is perfect. This was the first and last venue we looked at. I was in love the second we pulled in!

re everything goes as planned and your wedding day is everything you dreamed it would be and more.

all features were perfect for anyone who attended to take photos by. And when it got dark outside it became even more beautiful with all the lights outside. Just wow!!! 😍 Impressively gorgeous is the best way to describe this Barn venue. Troy and Kara were so helpful and welcoming! 😊 We had the whole bottom part of a house for my husband and I to get ready in, and it’s was very spacious and had exactly what we needed inside. We had many people young and older tell us that this was the most beautiful reception they’ve ever seen. Awwwww, that made our hearts soar! Definitely a venue I will continue to recommend to friends and family. Excellent place!!

ou like. They helped with the timeline (day before and day of wedding). They are your go to people day of wedding (they have you show your vendors the venue prior to wedding for better flow). The add advice you can take it if you wish but things typically run smoother if you do. The venue is beautiful and they continue to put more time and thought into making it a dream come true wedding venue. They have things to rent from them which is stress free because they have them ready to go for you. Once you agree to have your wedding there you get a folder with so much great information. There is a packet of vendors that they recommend, a timeline list and the rental items list. Everything is very well organized and Kara makes sure everything stays that way. There’s many places to get married at there, so many picture opportunities that you need to pick ahead of time or you will run out of time! They were very accommodating to what we wanted for our wedding and I can’t thank them enough for helping to make our special day run so smoothly!

t options and allowed me to create my wedding the exact way that I wanted. Colby and Kara were both there to answer questions and to help with set up to make everything perfect the day of. Kara was a saint with getting back to me about random questions I had up till our date. And she was just helpful all the way around. Which helped with any stress we had. The venue- absolutely breathtaking. If you want an rustic old barn that has been redone to be a beautiful unique wedding venue, then this is the place to go. There are 3 different places on the property for the ceremony site, the girls get the house to get ready in, and the guys have a grooms suite attached to the barn. The cocktail hour site is under the barn, and the reception area inside the barn is gorgeous. All the lights already make the barn beautiful that it almost doesn’t need any decorations. The list of preferred vendors Kara gives you is super helpful along with checklists month by month that needs to be done to keep you on track. They did a phenomenal job with everything and we are super pleased with how everything turned out to make our wedding exactly as we pictured it. Thank you again to Troy, kara and Colby! You guys knocked it outta the park! Love, The Yohe’s <3

value that far exceeds much more expensive venues. Not only did we have access to the venue for 14 hours the day of our wedding but we also had access for 3 additional days for setup, rehearsal, and tear down. Kara did loads of event planning and coordinating for us without additional charge. Colby and Troy did a great job helping setup the venue and have done an amazing job adding substantially more landscaping and features to the property each year. Kara also provided us with tons of information to assist in our planning and even on changing my fiances name after the wedding. I could go on and on but the long and short of it is these are good people who offer hands down one of the best venues in central PA and recommend some of the best vendors. I would strongly recommend this venue which offers far more value than any other venue we looked at.

made it so easy. They were extremely helpful with planning the day of timeline for our wedding, providing information we never would have thought of and giving us suggestions for special dances or things we could do throughout the evening. From helping transport guests with special needs, to making sure we were on schedule the day of to making sure all our vendors showed up and knew where to go- they did it all so we didn’t have to worry about it! They even provided decor items we could rent from them for a very reasonable price making setup and tear down much easier. We were able to setup a couple days early for our event which made planning the weekend of the wedding a breeze! The venue is truly beautiful and we had so many of our guests tell us we couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to get married. The barn is romantic on the inside with all the pretty lights and the outside is colorful and breath taking with all the amazing landscaping they have created. Our guests were able to enjoy the last hour of the night outside by the big fire pit. I can’t thank Troy, Kara and Colby enough for providing this amazing venue to make our day perfect!

en more pleased with the hospitality, not only on the day of the wedding, but both days before and after. The barn itself is truly a piece of art! I would recommend Wilson’s Bittersweet Barn to any couples looking for a barn style wedding- it is remarkable! Thank you to the Starner’s for an unforgettable day!

would highly recommend this venue to anyone.

equire many additional decorations. The area for the bride to get ready was spacious and allowed everyone to get ready together despite having a large wedding party. Would highly recommend checking them out.

.

t married. They even built steps outside of the farmhouse in time for my sisters wedding so she could have the ceremony there. Having the farmhouse to get ready made the day simple for the bridal party. I highly recommend Wilson's Bittersweet Barn!

solutely gorgeous. I could not have imagined a better day!

e!!!

day of easier. Would highly recommend this venue for any wedding at 150 guests or less.

and every day to make this barn more and more special. It is a beautiful place to get married or for any occasion. I would recommend this Barn and family to anyone! Thank you for helping to make our special day the best yet!

or sure grow rapidly due to its outstanding service and kindness.

were the nicest people to work with! They are easy going, and willing to help with ANYTHING! Thank you for everything that made our day beyond PERFECT!

landscaped with seasonal flowers and manicured lawn. The fish pond was a special touch which is why I chose that spot for guest photos. Troy, Kara and Colby are such special people who were great to work with and so caring they felt like family. I give this place a 5-star rating, but if there was a rating higher than that, they earned that too.

We looked at venues to host our wedding, but could not find any that fit our needs better than Wilson’s Bittersweet Barn. The Barn initially grabbed our attention with its natural beauty, location, and unique features. Then once the Starners welcomed us like old friends and shared how many different ways the property could be utilized, we both knew this was where we were going to get married!!! Some of the unique features that our friends commented upon included the historic brickwork, architecture, the memory wall within the reception area, the long harvest table, and the landscaping. We were so excited to use the outside for the ceremony, the bottom of the barn for happy hour, and the upstairs for the reception. Guests had the opportunity to wander around the premises- checking out the koi pond and fountain, taking their own pictures with all the beautiful landscaping, and play oversized yard games that we set up all over the place. Kara is always available to answer any questions throughout the planning process. Even more, all of the vendors spoke very highly of the family and venue when we told them where we were having our wedding. One of the things we really liked was not feeling rushed with setting up and cleaning up due to time constraints. This truly added a stress free fun vibe to this occasion!! Troy, Colby and Kara do their best to make your wedding day absolutely wonderful!! You will find all of them the morning of the event overlooking every little detail, from Kara directing caterers, DJs and other staff where and how to setup, Colby working on another project, to Troy pulling dead leaves off the plants around the barn to ensure every plant looks its best for you. Throughout the day, Kara continues to work with your staff to ensure that everything runs smoothly, while Troy and Colby are checking to see if anything is needed. They even attended to small, but important details such as providing transportation from the parking lot to the barn to accommodate those who might need any assistance. Without a doubt, Wilson’s Bittersweet Barn was the perfect place for our wedding.

ything we needed!

pond area, and barn , they have thought (and keep adding) of any way they can make it special for their brides/grooms and their guests. We can’t wait to get our pictures back!!! The bridal area was so nice to have, the ladies and I were able to really relax while we got hair and make up done.

ing and features of the barn are truly amazing and one of a kind. They are very organized and take pride in making your day your way.

everything on time and do anything we wanted for the special day! I never would have made it through this day without them! They thought of everything!

ke it the best event ever for that special day. By the way if your looking for a planner, they have the best one.

lby for being an integral part of my son and now daughter-in-law’s special day.
