Everything turned out perfectly. We had our ceremony by the lake with just a few family members and it was a beautiful day, we moved to the lodge for the reception, and everyone had a great time. The space was just the right size for everyone (we had 90 guests). The outdoor area had tables which a lot of guests spent time outside, which was very nice. The only thing I wasn't a fan of much was the food we chose (I myself am a VERY picky eater) but my guests said it was great!

Everything is well taken care of and has a special charm. The owners are so friendly and helpful - they go above and beyond for their guests.

The beautiful fields behind the venue are perfect for photos as is the creek that runs next to the barn (if you are brave enough to dip your toes!). There is plenty of room at the venue including the lawns surrounding the barn which we used for lawn games. If you want an amazing venue for a great price in North Central PA - look no further!

My husband and I chose Harmony Forge Inn & Barn as our out of state wedding venue for 2 reasons…read more 1.) It doubled as a place to stay for my immediate family who were all travelling from Austin, Texas and 2.) Our ceremony and reception would only be steps away from each other! (easier for guests). The Inn: The mansion is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 4 full bathroom, 1 half bathroom estate complete with parlor, dining room, kitchen (2 refrigerators), and beautiful photogenic staircase. I paid for the full weekend package, which includes all 4 bedrooms and entire house from Friday 8am until Sunday at noon. I also paid for the rehearsal dinner to be held in their dining room area, but once I arrived, the décor in the dining room was too drab for my taste and I ended up setting up in the barn. I would have set up the rehearsal dinner outside, but it unfortunately rained on Friday and Saturday. Some of the old décor is beautiful, but the window treatments and table cloths were just not to my taste and I could not be photographed next to them. However, the wood accents were to die for (staircase)and the house structure was very lovely. The Barn: Perfectly spacious and easy to make glamorous with the right décor. We used globe lights and hung them from the ceiling and it really provided an upscale vibe. I used all real china and glassware, added a few DIY touches like paper flowers, newspaper programs and tall lighted branch centerpieces to execute the look I was going for- rustic glam-it was relatively easy to accomplish. The space can be used for up to 160 guests per the management, but I wonder how crowded that would be. We had a good use of space with 110 guests, but I don't think I would have liked any more people in that size space. (Especially since it rained on my wedding day and we had to set up a temporary ceremony in the dj space in the barn, there definitely would not have been room if we had had any more people. The Cons: 1.) I was very stressed on Friday setting up the barn for the reception. It was hard to get a hold of management for setting up additional tables/chairs. And they forgot a table I requested for the rehearsal dinner I needed for gifts. 2.) Management seemed disorganized. They told me they might rent out the additional room on Saturday night, which I paid for in my full wedding package, until my dad called and they said that was a mistake on their part. They also forgot I had paid for the rehearsal space and I had to remind them. The chairs and tables (they set up) were squished up near the front of the barn and I had to move all the tables back for more room which was time consuming (they set up tables according to your specifications, but it was not like the picture I drew) 3.)The fridges are full of old food which is good or bad depending on who you are, but I would have preferred it empty since how do you know how old that stuff is in there? 4.) THE AC UNITS!!! OMG. They are so loud and the house was SOOOOOO hot. 5.) The barn port-a-potty(ies); I'm not sure we had more than one in operation, I specifically remembered 2 when I visited and it was much larger with 2 stalls, then on my wedding day I only remember seeing one and it was small. I would rate this venue a 3-4/5 based on my experience there, I expected more hospitality. At the end of the day, I felt like we were not super welcome there, more of a nuisance to them. No one really talked to us, or asked us how we were doing during an obviously stressful weekend where all of my plans were literally drowning with the rain. I just expected a little more kindness or at least one conversation with the people who lived there. If you like to be left completely alone, then I'm sure this won't bother you.
