Hi!!

I am recently engaged and my number one stress is finding the perfect venue for what I want.  I want an outdoor wedding ceremony with either an indoor or outdoor reception.  It doesn't really matter to me.  I want something unique but simple.  I've looked into the Herhey Gardens but they are rather expensive.  At this point, I don't really care what the cost is, I am just trying to get ideas.  Any help or suggestions staying near the Hershey area would be greatly appreciated!!  Thank you!

    We are doing our reception at the Hershey Country Club in their Grand Piccard Pavilion. I'd be happy to answer questions about it! (They don't do outdoor ceremonies though- ours is in a church in Hummelstown).

    Try Founder's Hall on the grounds of the Milton Hershey School. My friend's son got married at the Antique Auto Museum and they had a very modest budget. They have an outdoor space for ceremonies.There is also a place on Rt 422 across from What If cafe- but I can't think of the name of it.

    AACA Museum is nearby.  The new museum in Hershey also does events I believe.  Hershey Theater.  Italian Lodge.  Hotel Hershey is my number one recommendation though.

    I also went to a beautiful wedding reception near Grantville that was more of a barn setting- there's a really pretty lake and big willow trees. I believe they do ceremonies there too:

    awesome suggestions guys!!  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at picking a venue!  I definitely want to check out Wind in the Willows - it sounds pretty!!  Worth checking out.  I actually am setting up a meeting with Hershey Gardens via Hotel Hershey but that may end up being too expensive for what we want unfortunately!

    Has anyone heard of anything about the Cornwall Inn?  Apparently they have outdoor space and seem laid back and low key...

    We looked at the gardens too, but a few thousand dollars for a 30 minute ceremony was not worth it to me! :)
