What happens now? You typed in wedding venues near me, or garden wedding venues and several options populated – thats why we love Google – right? Information at our fingertips.
It seems easy enough, but is it? I’ll share a few thoughts that will help as you decide if we are the wedding venue for you.
We are a garden wedding venue with an industrial reception space. It is a perfect marriage of industrial and garden. So much fun!
When you tour here, we listen to your vision and act as a guide for you. Directing you toward the best vendors whom we have worked with who understand our wedding venue and can bring your vision to life.
Our wedding weekend starts on Friday for set up and rehearsal. We allow a four hour set up window on Friday, then additional time for a rehearsal, usually early evening.
Over the years we have noticed that a bride relaxes when she sees her vision come to life. After months of looking at Instagram and Pinterest, dreaming and planning, gathering decor her day is finally here.
Once you are done setting up, your rehearsal follows. The Friday rehearsal acts like a ‘first look’ for your wedding day. Bridal party members, family and friends arrive and will see the venue and your vision for the first time. The energy for the wedding day is starting to build as everyone is talking and sharing. It is a fun time of togetherness and we highly recommend it.
On Saturday, you can prioritize getting ready for your wedding day and enjoying the morning with your friends and family. Some bridal parties do their hair and make up here, while others come after lunch and get dressed in our bridal suite.
We work every wedding to help couples, and we love it. We help communicate with all of your vendors so you can focus on your family, your friends and having fun. Whether it’s the ceremony, photos in the gardens, announcing the bridal party, cutting the cake or dancing. We are here to help throughout.
After the last song plays, the conversations continue. You don’t have to worry about cleaning up, we do that. We will collect all of your decor and stage it for morning pick up. Easy.
We are a garden wedding venue that marries industrial and garden like nowhere else in the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre area. We hope you will book a tour and see for yourself how beautiful a garden wedding can be.
Features
Stone Chapel Room
We have a chapel in case it rains. It is a beautiful room with stained glass, walnut paneling and an old world feel that can even be used on a bright sunny day for wedding photography. And often is.
Terra Cotta Room
This is a beautiful stand alone room that you are free to use, and most couples do. It is most commonly used for buffet lines or stations for the reception. It is also a gathering space for the bridal parties and families both before the wedding and during. Occasionally the room is used for the cocktail hour.
Farm Tables & Chairs
We have custom made farm tables made of Hemlock, that we stained gray. The tables are a parson style, and our chairs are cross back chairs in a driftwood color. We have enough for up to 200 guests. We made our tables 8’7” long and 36” wide so you can sit 10 at a table if you so choose. Or put them together in a long harvest style arrangement or combinations depending on how many guest you invite. It’s nice to have the flexibility. We also have 5 custom made cocktail tables.
Ceremonies
Our outdoor ceremony space is an outdoor terrace with a large standing stone to accent the ceremony. It is flanked by a large half moon stone wall with Bald Mountain standing proud in the distance. We also have stone benches arranged like pews. After the ceremony the space is perfect for hanging out during the cocktail hour and for dancing.
Gardens
Our perennial gardens are extensive and make a great backdrop for your wedding photos. We have native grasses and perennials that you will not find anywhere else with one of a kind stone art spread through the gardens.
Our Vibe
We have an industrial vibe with a great earthy feel to it. Our transition from inside to outside is seamless. Your guests can step off our stone dance floor and be under the stars. You will never feel trapped at your table.
Imagination
Our space is beautiful enough that you don’t feel like you have to make it into something, yet blank enough to allow you to bring your own style and creativity to your day. Colors, fabrics, florals, styles, the possibilities are endless.
