Recently attended a fundraiser event for the Christiana Library at this location. The event was a Princess Ball for little girls. While it was a colaboration between the library and the event space, no neither can take full credit, the two worked together effortlessly to make this event memoriable. Easy to find on Lincoln Highway in the Gap, the grounds, barns, and outdoor spaces were beautiful and well maintained. The inside of the barn was refurbished, modern, comfortable and a beautiful backdrop for any event. The grounds weren't quite in full bloom but were well maintained and the perfect scenery for pictures. The parking, although on the small size, was paved and ample. Another outbuilding where a storybook reading was held is normally used as a bride's quarters for getting ready pre-wedding. That room was elegant and furnished with luxurious french provincial type furnishings, gold guilded mirrors and was very grand. At our event, carriage rides were offered around the property. I had the pleasure of chatting with a relative of the owner, who relayed the property's history to me, which was very interesting. While the home is a private residence, there's still many venues on the property for different kinds of events. Definately a place to consider for large baby shower, party, reception, or wedding. read more

We had my daughter's wedding here in Sept. 2018! It is a gorgeous setting with many areas to take beautiful photos on site. The ceremony was held outdoors, cocktails in the tent and the reception in the beautifully restored barn. Everything took place on site with no guests having to drive here and there. The staff was amazing! Sweet, professional and extremely detail oriented. The surrounding countryside is charming and breathtaking. Many of our guests stayed for the weekend to shop at the many Amish farms and antique stores. The photos on their website are the real deal. This is truly a fairytale setting for any bride and groom! read more

White Chimneys - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Gap, Pennsylvania

This was our absolute dream venue and I really couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. The atmosphere, amenities, and staff are amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful, clean, and put together the venue was and we were told by many it was the best wedding they've ever been to (even coming from past DJs who have attended hundreds of weddings). We were so happy with Jessica, Miriam, Patty, and the whole team at White Chimneys... with their help and all the hard work they put in on our wedding day, and long before that (we booked our venue about a year and a half before our date) we didn't stress one bit and couldn't be happier with how our day went. They were so helpful during the whole process of planning and getting things ready and really made sure our day was perfect and the fairytale I've always dreamed of. Jessica and the team went above and beyond and helped me think of ideas of how to organize things and make the process go smoothly so I didn't have to stress at all on the day or in the planning process. Whenever me, my fiancé (now husband), our parents, coordinator, or vendors had questions they were so quick to respond and offer options and suggestions. Even when I had crazy ideas, they made it happen. While I was planning, I saw pictures of donkeys on Pinterest with cooler packs on their backs all decorated and cute carrying beverages for cocktail hour, and knew I wanted this for my wedding but didn't have a clue how to make it happen. Jessica and her team have a donkey, ponies, and other animals on the property and they practiced for days and days with their donkey, Biggie Smalls, and their pony to make this happen for me and make sure the animals were on their best behavior. (Just FYI, we didn't overload the donkey or ponies' packs with drinks. White Chimneys had 2 lovely ladies with them at all times so the animals stayed safe, they restocked the coolers when they ran low and made sure the coolers weren't too heavy for the animals). Also, the staff helped to make sure every shot our photographer and videographers got was picture perfect!! I'm in love with the previews we got back and can't wait to see more. Compared to other venues in the area, White Chimneys is a more elegant barn and outdoor garden wedding venue and their prices really are competitive and much lower than others in the area when you think of all the things they have to offer and the beautiful picture-perfect grounds they work so hard to upkeep and manage. Before choosing White Chimneys we must have visited at least 4-5 venues and as soon as we stepped foot on White Chimney's grounds, we knew that was where we wanted to get married because it was different than all of the other venues we visited. Also, getting married this August, in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, they gave us peace of mind that no matter what we had to do, we'd get married, have COVID friendly options for our guests so everyone felt safe, clean, and that the day would go on, and that it did. I wish we could have our wedding day again and again. read more

Dream venue I had my wedding here June 10 and everything couldn't have been more perfect. It was the fairytale wedding I was hoping for, and didn't break the bank like the rest of the venues I looked at would have. Jessica, the owner, is amazing. She's attentive, caring, helpful, and truly invested in making your day special. The outdoor area is so dreamy for the ceremony and the barn was the perfect rustic space I was searching for (but with a hint of glamour with the chandeliers!). Couldn't recommend this place more... I rave about it to all my engaged friends. read more

The venue is beautiful however, the hospitality is lacking. The woman that runs the venue is rude and lacking professionalism. The place is by appointment only and don't dare stop in for a packet of information because it is her "private residence". There is no indication that this place is a residence. NO sign that says by appointment only. Even the venues webpage is not listed as by appointment only. She makes you feel belittled and even stated "do you just drop in on every venue". I have heard people rave about white chimneys however, I can say I was not in the least impressed. read more

What a beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding ceremony! The pillars, fountain, white fences, and scenic view behind the pillars, is something out of a book. There is a tent for days when it rains, but cross your fingers for a warm sunny day because its just simply stunning to watch two people join their hands in marriage at this location. read more

I married the love of my life here two days ago. The grounds were beyond stunning, everything went perfectly, the entire day exactly how we wanted. Jessica, Beth, Miriam, the entire staff and groundskeeper were super attentive, couldn't have been more helpful...they know how to host a beautiful wedding and how to have a great time. even her father and brother were on hand to charm us and enjoy the day with us and make us feel like we were home. If you're even remotely considering having an event here, do yourself a favor and don't hesitate. read more

First, let me start by saying that I am not one to write a bad review. I often give people the benefit of the doubt and let a lot of things go... BUT... This was something I felt like I had to write. I don't even think this place, overall, was worth 1 star. The place has tons of potential, but no one wants to do the work. I was only friends of the people who had the wedding there and I got to the place the evening before wedding to help with last minute things. The woman (the owners daughter) was in and out, but constantly on her phone. The groomsmen had to set up all the tables and chairs. There was no help from the place as far as setting things up. Meanwhile, during the process, her children are all running around and in and out of the barn and touching the things that were being set up! We had to tell them not to touch everything... She didn't say a word to them! Other than that, she was polite... It's her dad that really set me over the top! As people were coming to the reception, he was sitting in his golf cart directing traffic. He had everyone park in the grass, which was fine, but I was told (by the bride and groom) to park in one of the handicapped spots. I also had to unload some things. I told him that when I pulled in and he said after I was done unloading that I was to "move that vehicle immediately!" Since the woman is much nicer to deal with, I explained the situation to her about the vehicle staying and that her dad had told me to move it. She said it was fine and don't worry about it. 10 minutes later, he drives his golf cart down to the barn and tells me "I asked you to move that truck young lady and it needs to be moved now!" I told him I spoke with his daughter and he said "I didn't care! I'm a mean old German man and she doesn't own this property, I do! I told you to move it and that's what you're going to do. That spot is for people who need to be close." He was rude and didn't care that the bride and groom were ok with that and aware of it. Then as I was walking away he also went on to say "and don't say anything to my daughter about this. I'll let her know what happened!" Then he points to where I should park and I pull in sideways because no one else was parked there and then he comes back and tells me "we don't park like that! We pull head in! You need to move!" I could not believe this mans attitude! No one in this wedding required a handicapped spot, otherwise I would understand. There was no mulch around the back patio where the dance floor was and the fountain wasn't cleaned out until after 8pm the night before. There was also an antique stove that was on wheels that we were told we could move. In the process of moving it, the leg broke off and we were stuck holding this iron stove up while the bride ran to get help. Once we got it propped up, the woman went and got a furniture dolly and it was left to us to get it on there and move it! With the price of the place to rent, we were all expecting much better service! The bride and groom were also told air conditioning would be installed in time for the wedding, and of course it wasn't. On top of the price for the rental, the woman offered the bride a cake stand... And she had to rent it separately for an extra price!!! I would never recommend this place to anyone. It was too much of a hassle and the woman was nowhere to be found in the morning while we were cleaning up! read more
