VENUES

BALD BIRDS BREWING COMPANY - Jersey Shore, PA

Bald Birds is an absolutely gorgeous venue tucked right in the heart of Jersey Shore. It's a spacious event hall with an enormous reception area, a beautiful upstairs hall which provides a romantic, ambient ceremony space, and ample room for both the bridal party and groomsmen to prepare without running into one another. The possibilities for photos are endless; it has multiple floors, all different lighting scenarios, a beautiful newly remodeled outdoor deck, and brewing rooms. The staff at Bald Birds are some of the most kind, most helpful event staff that we've had the pleasure of working with, and we'd recommend this venue to anybody.

WHISPERING OAKS VINEYARD - Sunbury, PA

Whispering Oaks tops our list as well; so much so that I booked my own wedding here! One look at this venue and you'll just about fall in love. There's nothing that it doesn't have! It's located on a beautiful property overlooking the countryside, and has both indoor and outdoor ceremony space (with plenty of room for all of your loved ones, at that). It has high ceilings, tons of tall windows for lots of natural light, a loft for your use, set up and tear down by the staff, an elegant bridal suite and a speakeasy downstairs for the guys (or cocktail hour). The staff is SO friendly and accommodating and helps you to plan every little detail of your big day. PLUS they give you a customizable seating chart AND allow you to decide where you'd like your tables, vendors, and more setup for the day. You can't ask for much more than that!

RUSTY RAIL BREWING COMPANY- Mifflinburg, PA

Rusty Rail makes me wish there was enough space at the top of the page for all of the venues to share spot number one! I can hardly explain the beauty that resides within (and outside of ) the walls at Rusty Rail. To start, the venue is enormous! I'm talking thousands of square feet of usable space; a law across the lot, plenty of parking, multiple floors, multiple event rooms, and so much more. But let me showcase my favorite parts. First, the suites! My God, I've rarely seen preparation rooms for the wedding party this gorgeous. It convinced me to look into spending a weekend there with my favorites simply to enjoy the setting once more! There are long, well-lit halls that boast a classic elegance and are perfect for gorgeous portraits. The reception hall doubles as the ceremony space and is quickly and efficiently (and without flaw) flipped into the reception of your dreams. All of the staff are amazing at coordinating with one another, as well as talking details and helping the other vendors. And the FOOD. It was by far one of the best meals that we've ever tasted at a wedding. And the venue does it all!

APPLETREE TERRACE - Dallas, PA

Appletree Terrace was never on the list until this past weekend, and as soon as we shot there, I thought to myself "I have GOT to remember to favorite this venue!" Appletree Terrace is nestled on a beautiful hillside in Dallas and I'd be lying if I said I don't have my fingers crossed hoping one of our soon-to-be forever clients don't run out and book this place again. Not only is the venue incredibly versatile and spacious, but the staff was kind, helpful and courteous. The food was to die for (no exaggeration) and the setup was something that every bride dreams of. We hope to get more photos in this venue up on our website soon, but in the meantime, reach out to them! You won't regret it.

DJs

During weddings, I believe that of all the vendors, DJs and photographers have to work the closest with one another. We have to coordinate timelines, plan crowd interaction, engage with the guests/party, discuss the same scenarios, and oftentimes we even eat together (picture the odd-kids-out in a crowded cafeteria).

BRAD GIBSON- Jersey Shore, PA

Brad is the nicest DJ that we have ever worked with, by far. He is kind and inclusive to the couples, families, and guests. He is great at getting the crowd involved during receptions, and has been in the industry long enough to both understand and appreciate how each couple's vision can differ from the next. He is a beautiful person and brings so much soul to each wedding! We can't recommend him enough.

DC ENTERTAINMENT- Mifflinburg, PA

Dan is an amazing DJ with an unmatched talent for setup, lighting, and all things music. He has all 5-star reviews from past clients and we can personally vouch for their worth. Dan is great at bringing both spirit and energy to a wedding, and the amount of smiles on the crowd's face is truly the mark of a great entertainer. He chose the perfect industry to build a career and we recommend at chatting with him about your big day! You'll soon see why he's made the list.

DJ TROY BREON - Bellefonte, PA

Troy was truly an amazing vendor to work with; it's evident that he has a ton of experience in the field and had the floor packed all evening! He did a great job keeping the guests engaged and actively involved in the festivities, and he was kind to everyone he talked with. He also did a great job checking in with the couple/guests/vendors on whether they needed anything and that they were doing okay. He was professional and courteous, and we highly recommend reaching out to him if you're planning!

Each of these florists have created some of the most beautiful bridal bouquets and floral arrangements that we've seen to date (and we've seen A LOT of flowers).
