Hello All, We got…read moremarried on 11/12/2022 at Seasons At Magnolia Manor on a beautiful day. The theme was Under the Sea and the venue did a SPECTACULAR job! They set up everything, took down, packed my car for me after the reception. The team at the venue are AMAZING! The DJ (Cameron), gave me "Homework" to do before the big day of lists of activities and what songs to play for each item. He was VERY organized and followed the paper to a T with other songs that he felt would keep the party going. He also during one of the Vendor Nights at the venue gave us suggestions on what type of alcohol to buy and how many with garnish suggestions as well. Jennifer the venue owner was PHENOMENAL! Every question I had, every concern I expressed and every emotional moment I faced, she was there for me. She has one of the biggest hearts and is such a caring person. Picking this venue was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. There were days where my stress was taking over and I was worried that I would've forgotten things, but Jennifer and her calming voice reminded me that everything was going to be okay and they have everything handled. Amy Mosser and her husband Mike just blew me away with not just my engagement photos BUT with all of their hard work, dedication and care just made everything so smooth. I am not confident in myself since I started gaining weight because of my PCOS. BUT, Amy and Mike helped me fall in love with myself all over again and helped me boost my confidence by how they show how much they care about how I felt about my pictures. On my wedding day, Amy is pregnant and is running up and down stairs, outside, and just constantly moving. I did not see her sit down for even a minute and I was just amazed at how she made everything look and feel so flawless. She was very good with my autistic brother Patrick who I was sure he was going to take her home with his snuggle bears lol. Mike was not just my 2nd photographer, he was also my Officiant. Let me tell you, he let me know constantly how honored he was to be our officiant, BUT I was honored that he was so excited to do that for us and how he cared so much about our small details. Once I was down the aisle, the ceremony was maybe 10-15 minutes. But to us that was more than enough since we are not super religious and did not want a long ceremony. A few days before the big day, Mike called me on the phone and spoke to me about how things were going to go and wanted to know details about Jordan and I's relationship. He made sure the small details were in his speech and that it was a surprise to us . The Videographers were AMAZING! We used Mid 80s Media and let me tell you, they were amazing! They were constantly on the move making sure they captured every precious moment and little details that I am sure others have missed in other Weddings. They were very kind, patient and communicated well with everything. I am super excited to receive my video. The Seasons At Magnolia Manor team went ABOVE and BEYOND my expectations and I could not thank them enough. Please go on a tour with them and check out the venue, you will NOT be sorry. They love what they do and can do any theme your heart desires. BRIDES-Jennifer and her team do NOT make you feel like a paycheck like other venues do. Please give them a chance you will NOT be disappointed

PLease read the negative reviews about Jennifer and the venue. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend…read morethis venue or its owners, Jennifer and her husband. They required temporary heating for client events and rented heaters from us for months, but failed to pay their invoices or return the equipment. I would advise anyone considering this venue to reconsider. If you are a vendor, insist on payment upfront to avoid the same issues we faced. Jennifer often made excuses about being sick or out of town, which complicated the situation further. There are plenty of other venues around that maintain a higher level of professionalism and reliability.

Let me set the scene: tucked away in what feels like the middle of nowhere is this beautiful winery…read morewith an equally beautiful landscape. The vibes are peaceful, scenic, and honestly the perfect backdrop for a festival day out. They host several festivals throughout the year, and I had the pleasure of attending the Caribbean festival yesterday. Even with the rain and cooler weather, it was STILL a great time. The energy never dropped. Everything was very well organized from parking, to the wine samples, vendors, dance floor, and stage setup. You could tell a lot of planning went into making the experience smooth and enjoyable for guests. The music, food, and overall atmosphere made it easy to forget about the weather completely. This was my second time here, and it definitely will not be my last. I'll 100% be returning.

Why haven't I written a review until now is a mystery but, oh well.. Lol This past Weekend, they did something totally different. They had a tribute to 50 years of "go-go" instead of the aforementioned reggae fest. With that said, Rare Essence performed Saturday and the Junk Yard Band did their thing Sunday. Me and my crew grew up on Essence so Saturday we converged. The forecast for severe afternoon t-storms almost made me stay home, but I've been given a lot of flack from my homies for bailing because of weather so I was determined to push through :) I'm glad that I did. It rained STRONG for about an hour in the middle of the festival, but after that, the headliner performed and cranked like it was 1990! Talk about nostalgia.. Omg!! We had a ball! Full disclosure, it was about half the normal size crowd, so I'm not sure Linganore will take that type of money loss in the future, but thanks for the memories.. I definitely needed that!!!

We enjoyed our stay very much! Great location in town! We stayed in the Dreamers suite. We felt…read morelike we had privacy and we had a separate entrance. It was surprisingly quiet.

Pros- very friendly management with amazing personalities. Sitting on porch enjoying the early morning was great. Peaceful because they don't have traffic from nonguess in morning or for dinner. So wake u and down time is just enjoying each other. Grab and go foods. I am use to having to get up for a big breakfast and then go. This place had cereal, snack, coffee, tea and bake goods. It was refreshing to sleep in, and better to grab some cereal for a night snack The bed was comfortable. The bath tub was relaxing and perfect amount of towels and soaps. Cons Bring your own pillow if you like soft ones. I love memory foam so this is more a nit pick. Electric ... this is an old home like the rest of Gettysburg. Bring long chargers, and an a power strip with USB charger holes. Suggestions... provide sugar free opitions for flavor creamer and dry cereals, and almond or rice milk.

The interior was beautifully decorated and the outside was immaculate. Every aspect of the event was thought thru. We could not have put this on without their help and we really appreciate it. I would highly recommend this venue.

My husband and I were married at The Barns earlier in the Spring of 2019. My first impression via…read morethe initial correspondence was not that great (didn't seem very friendly) - as a result of that and a visit to another venue, we nearly went with that other venue, but we'd already booked a visit and decided we should make our decision with all of our options being explored. We visited the venue in late summer 2018 and fell in love with it, so we booked it. We were married this past spring and our experience couldn't have been better - Anna and our other vendors were so incredibly helpful to ensuring things ran smoothly (I see an earlier review indicates another couple's family felt they overstepped - I guess it can be taken either way, depending on who you are). The three doors in the barn's reception area were extremely useful on our big day, as there was a large amount of unexpected wind, managed by closing doors during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and parts of the reception. We felt like we were able to access a reasonable amount on the property for our event, photos, etc. We wanted to do some drone flyovers, but due to the horses, we couldn't - and that was entirely fine. It didn't ruin our wedding day - our loved ones were all present, our day was photographed beautifully, we had all the ingredients for a great party, and we had a perfect setup for what we wanted our wedding celebration to be! Words of advice - if there is a rule or regulation about something, the owners going to stand by it. It's their venue, they can manage it as they please. If you don't like the rules or time constraints, ask the owners about them, and if they're not willing to accommodate and it's a non-negotiable for you, don't book the venue. It's literally that easy. There wasn't anything we felt to be unreasonable, but that is entirely relative to us - we're pretty low maintenance people. We were fine needing to be off the property by a certain time - wedding days are long and expensive days. We had a great experience and would recommend The Barns at Maple Valley Farm - thank you, Anna and Jacob, for opening up this beautiful venue for others to enjoy!

The owners obviously put a lot of love and hard work into making this place a family retreat…read more Though it sleeps two dozen people, some of the bedrooms have 4 or 5 twin beds, so this would not work for most corporate getaways. Seemed to be only one room with a private bath, though there is a separate 1-BR cottage across the spacious patio. Cool pizza oven on the patio. Substantial kitchen with huge adjacent dining room. Connectivity not an issue. A little hard to find Zigbone, as there is zero signage along the way, save a small one right at the entrance. Thankfully, an easy drive to both Emmitsburg, MD, and Waynesboro, PA, as Sabillasville has a US Post Office but no other stores or restaurants.

Also, there is so much space in the barn! We had our guests on the main floor, up top, and outside under the tent! We had the barn doors open and the lighting that came through into the barn was amazing! (This made for amazing pictures) Our ceremony was in the grass area right next to the barn which was beautiful! We also recommend the Inn as well which has a good amount of space for any event! It was also so perfect to have the Inn rooms right there for our guests to stay (the rooms are beautiful and so spacious!). Then theres the food, the food was SO AMAZING!! I cannot stress how good the food was! There are many options to choose from which we loved! We loved that they had the barn, the Livery bar and grill, and the Inn all right there! We would recommend the Inn at Herr Ridge to ANYONE AND EVERYONE in a heartbeat! They made our wedding day and every day leading up to it so easy, relaxing, and fun!

The hosts, Amanda and Diane, were pleasant and extremely helpful. On the day of our arrival, I received a text message from Amanda first thing in the morning asking our approximate arrival time. On our drive up. I received another text message about the parking location and to pull in front of the building if we were unable to find it. This bed and breakfast has its own small parking area behind the house. Being that I have a good sense of direction, I was able to navigate the endless stream of one-way streets to get to this lot. The backyard of the bed and breakfast is quaint with a nice seating area and fire pit. There's a patio and some games that you can use on their lawn. The public areas, including the dining room, living room, and sitting areas are all nice. There are six guest rooms in this bed and breakfast. Our room was on the first floor. Amanda said it used to be a physician's exam room. Interesting! The room was spacious and had a fairly comfortable bed. There were a number of outlets around the room and very nice furnishings. The bathroom, I'll be at small, was nice and the shower had an excellent stream and the shampoo and shower gel on the wall was very nice. Our breakfast the next morning was home, cooked to order and very tasty. Tasty. Enough to get the day started but not too much to feel overly full. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate were always available as well as cookies and pastries. Plus, this B&B, was super convenient located with lots of restaurants within a short walk. Short walk. I highly recommend staying at this B&B if you were going to be in the area or just passing through.
