I'm honored to not have only held by wedding at "The Barn" but to create the listing on Yelp for it…read moreand be the first to review. Ruth and her team were phenomenal throughout the entire experience and we couldn't have asked for a better event planner who listened to our endless questions, suggestions and small complaints to try and make it as great as we could. I had no clue what I was doing when planning an event this big but our wedding weekend, Ruth had four weddings in total so she is clearly a PRO at this. We had to book over a year in advance so if you are reading my review and don't have a summer weekend already locked up for a date you are looking for in a month or two, it's probably not going to happen. It's a popular spot and will only get more so as people learn about this new location for weddings. Set back off the main road in a very rural area, the barn itself holds 200 guests and you can have pretty much your entire wedding day on site, from the ceremony to an outdoor cocktail hour and then into the barn for the reception itself. I've posted some professional pics for people to see the true beauty of both the inside and out. Parking is easy for all of your guests as they are guided to a giant lawn behind the barn itself, hidden away from the beauty out front. There is also a Bed & Breakfast on site that can be rented by guests or even your wedding party. I got changed in the old butcher room (a sign?) while my wife was able to get dressed in the bridal suite on site. Pretty much all of your needs are here, you just need to bring booze and guests. Ruth has been in the catering business for years and her hubby is a culinary chef in the top echelon for Columbia County. From exotic seafood options to standard, PA Dutch food for the area, your needs (eeerrr wants) for your menu are easily met by a wide variety of options. And, it's freaking delicious. Drawbacks of the location are that it has no AC or heat.....so if it's an early August 95 degree day, you're going to melt. It got down into the 50's on our wedding night and it was slightly chilly inside, just glad there were enough people there to keep the temp up enough to not have people freeze to death. It's also hilly in some spots so when the rain came down, it was slick for people and the outdoor location had to be moved indoors for the ceremony as it wasn't allowed because of people being able to loose their footing. If you want to impress your guests and have them talking for a shoestring budget, at least in comparison to prices we were finding in metropolitan areas, you won't be disappointed.

Before I start this review because I want to be totally clear: The Pump House is where you go when…read moreyou want to have an artistic/visually impressive wedding, reception, or event. If you are looking at practicality or cost? There are many other local, cheaper venues with superior parking and capacity. The Pump House, while not difficult to find, is in the middle of nowhere. The wedding reception I attended here was during the winter and had some unique challenges. The driveway needs attention and a few tons of stone, I would not want to drive on it after a rainstorm. Parking here if it has snowed can be challenging due to lack of space and ice, with the ice also a potential risk when walking to the buildings. Cellphone coverage with Verizon was spotty at best. The reception was split between the Studio Hall and Brick Barn. Studio Hall served as the cocktail and buffet space. During normal operations, this serves at the breakfast part of the B&B. Due to the pandemic, all food had to be served by the catering staff. The bride recommends working with vendors who are familiar with the uniqueness of the venue. The Brick Barn served as the main reception area. Setting up, it didn't look all that impressive, and it would have been nice to have one of the heaters on due to the cold. The owners were very helpful with setting up the tables and chairs, saving the wedding party significant time. Day of the wedding reception it looked very picturesque, the venues selling point. The sidewalks around the venue need improvement as they are not well defined and crumbling. It would also clarify the walking paths between the buildings in the winter. The number of bathrooms for the venue was surprisingly adequate. I visited The Manifold House when moving some boxes around, which serves as the honeymoon suite, and I would describe it's styling as "unique." The wedding reception had a limit of 75 people and that seemed to be the right number when not using the venues outdoor spaces. Overall, if you are looking for an artistic/visually impressive venue, The Pump House is for you. The bride got the exact reception she wanted, which made her happy, and that's what mattered.

The cellular service was spotty at best and the Wifi was okay but not fast enough to stream video, which was fine. It was really nice to unplug from the world and relax. There is a real life condition on the rise caused by the advancement of cell phone technology called text neck. Where people get an early onset of arthritis by looking down and texting or reading for long periods of time. We could all use a little time out from texting and smart phones. Some of the structures were built in 1908 and there is an old pump house (hence the name), which back in the day required one every 50 miles along the oil pipe line in order to pump oil across the country. This pump house is one of the few remaining today. There is the actual pump house and also what looks like a large water tank but that large tank is what housed the oil along the pipeline. Doug the owner is a really nice guy and helped moving palates of chairs around with his tractor when were setting up for the wedding. The food was also excellent! Some of the peppers came from his garden on the property. Its the little touches like a small sprinkle of feta cheese on the eggs. And to be honest, the BEST french toast ive ever had! I don't usually order french toast because its usually a let down, but this was phenomenal! I forget the details of it all but it was a true restaurant quality dish; Cinnamon, sugar, and other things that i can't remember (sorry i forgot my camera that morning) The property is pretty large and has a few buildings, lots of trees and even a river running along the back which we took a dip in, it was cold but refreshing and shallow enough (shin high) were you could sit in and be comfortable and cool off. There were some bugs too but you should expect that if you're in the middle of the woods and next to water. I liked the outdoor breakfast area on Doug's back porch, it had lots of charm with the vines growing up the lattices and plants all around. Very nice and relaxing. It was just really nice to unplug from the world, relax and get back to nature and talk to people face to face instead of texting someone in the next room.

Toni-Ann was so helpful and straightforward from the moment we contacted her, and we were able to truly customize our spread to be exactly what we wanted - a meat carving station, a pasta station, sides, and family salads for dinner, both passed apps and a charcuterie spread for cocktail hour, cake cups for dessert, and pizza for a late night snack. We loved how flexible the Craft team was with letting us choose the timing of each of the food items as well. And of course, the most important thing - everything was delicious! We've had so many of our guests compliment everything they ate. Additionally, the Craft team paid extra special attention to our guests with dietary restrictions and delivered them their own individual meals. If you want a professional experience from start to finish, paired with delicious food, I definitely recommend working with Toni-Ann and the Craft team!

He went over to my preferred shop which was closed due to a medical emergency. So he went to Neville's, where he got the *WORST* bouquet of flowers I've ever seen IN MY LIFE.

But you should have seen my face today when I looked at our bank account and saw he spent ***$60*** for something that I could have bought at the grocery store for $12.99. I was dumbfounded. THEY DIDN'T EVEN PUT THEM IN A VASE. He bought the flowers Monday and they're ALREADY DYING. Neville's should be ashamed and embarrassed.

We then used the Susq chef to cater our wedding and to make a long story short, their off site help left a lot to be desired. The bar tenders and some other staff were extremely unprofessional and while they did not ruin anything for our guests, it was disheartening to hear about their obnoxious behavior from guests after the wedding. From selling our alcohol to guests, to some of the waitstaff consuming alcohol while they were working, I could not recommend them as on off site caterer. There were many other instances that occurred over the course of the planning and the wedding day that were also disappointing, but all in all, I am sure there are plenty other off site caterers who would be better.

The arrangement was meant to be from her grandchildren so I wanted it to be really specially. I called Smilax to order the Sweet Solace arrangement on their website. Bart told me that if wanted the arrangement from them (as opposed to FTD), there would be a significant price increase from what the web site advertised (40-50% more). I was more worried about getting a pretty arrangement so I places the order over the phone. I asked if they could add a little blue (my MIL's favorite color), Bart said no problem. When I arrived at the church, I did not recognize any of the arrangements as the one I ordered. I figured out which one was mine based on the card and it looked nothing like what I anticipated. There was no blue. It was not the tailored arrangement pictured on the website. Plus there was a ton of filler in this arrangement. So I plan to call the shop on Monday but there's is no way they can make it ok. My mother in law is gone :(
