A Private 174-Acre Wedding Venue in the Poconos

Most wedding venues in the Poconos run several events a weekend. This one runs one. When you book the estate, the gate closes behind you and the entire 174 acres — lawns, woodland, pool and the 16,000 sq ft mansion — belongs to your wedding from Friday afternoon to Monday morning.

The rehearsal dinner happens on the terrace. You get ready in your own suite instead of a hotel room. You say your vows on open lawn with the Pocono ridgeline behind you. And 43 of the people closest to you sleep on the property instead of driving back to a motel at midnight. No other party in the next ballroom. No six o'clock handover to the next couple. No shared driveway.

For couples comparing private wedding venues in the Poconos, the difference is simple: you are not renting a room inside someone's venue. You are renting the whole place.

Frequently Asked Question

Planning a wedding weekend comes with plenty of details to consider. Explore quick answers about the ceremony, reception, guest stays, vendors, pricing, and practical arrangements to help you plan your Poconos wedding with greater clarity and confidence.

The Wedding

Can we hold both the ceremony and the reception here?

Yes. The ceremony takes place on the lawn and the reception moves indoors or under a tent. Both are included in the weekend package — there’s no separate venue fee and no travel between sites.

How many guests can attend?

The estate sleeps 43 overnight. Event attendance is higher: up to 80 guests for the ceremony and reception. Those are two different numbers and it’s worth being clear on both when you’re planning.

Do you host more than one wedding at a time?

No. One wedding on the property per weekend. The full 174 acres is exclusively yours.

Vendors & Setup

Can we bring our own caterer?

Yes. Outside caterers are welcome and your team gets full kitchen access. There’s no in-house menu you’re required to use and no per-plate minimum.

Are tents allowed?

Yes, on the lawn. You or your planner arrange the rental — we can recommend suppliers who have set up on this property before and know the ground.

What time does the music have to stop?

Amplified music outdoors runs until 10 pm. After that, the celebration continues indoors, where it can run later.

Where do guests park?

Eight vehicles fit on the main drive. Overflow field parking accommodates a further 3.

Booking & Cost

What does a wedding weekend cost?

Wedding weekends start at $20,000 for three nights of exclusive use, including accommodation for 43, the ceremony lawn, and indoor reception space. Tented receptions for larger guest counts start at $24,000. Catering, bar, and rentals are arranged separately.

Is there a minimum stay?

Two nights for weddings — typically Friday to Monday. It gives you the rehearsal dinner, the wedding day, and a slow Sunday with everyone still there.

How far ahead should we book?

Peak season is  from May to October. Most couples book 6 months out. If your date is within 4 months, call rather than email — we’ll tell you straight away whether it’s available.

Practicalities

Where do guests stay if they’re not sleeping at the estate?

Wilkes-Barre is fifteen minutes away with several hotels. we also offer vacation rental stays in Lake Harmony and Blakeslee, which is around 20 miles from the venue

How do we get a marriage license in Luzerne County?

Apply in person at the Luzerne County Register of Wills / Clerk of Orphans’ Court. Pennsylvania has a three-day waiting period, the license is valid for sixty days, and it can only be used within Pennsylvania. Both parties must attend.

How do we check if our date is available?

Send your date and rough guest count through the property page displayed as a card above on this page, or call +1-609-608-6262. We reply to every wedding enquiry within four business hours.
