Outdoor wedding suggestions!

This will be my fiance's and I second wedding. With that said, we both know exactly what we want. We just need some ideas on venues and suggestions/advice from some locals.

Here are the non-variables....
*Friday evening ceremony lit by candle light
*Ceremony and Reception at the same location (Reception can be held inside)
*Serving hors d'oeuvre's and cake (no dinner)

We are trying to keep it as budget friendly as possible!

Thanks for all of your suggestions/advice!!!!

    Hi - I don't know exactly where you're located, but King's Gap State Park outside of Carlisle might fit the bill. Consider an evening ceremony on the mansion's stone patio, overlooking the whole Cumberland Valley -- and the chance of a spectacular sunsight to boot! They have space inside for a reception, too, and are great to work with. I'm getting married there next June and am learning of more and more people who have used the space, too. 

    Congrats!

    Cameron Estates requires you to serve dinner.  We visited Cornwall Inn.  It was a lovely setting, neat spot for a ceremony, but I dont know about price.  Our package included food.  The other place I considered but never went to was Berry Patch Bed and Breakfast.

    Willow Springs in Richland used to do weddings and you could bring your own caterer but all the links I have for them don't work anymore. You might be able to give them a call to find out. I wanted to check them out but I never got around to it. 

    That is their website you can find the number on there. Hope that helps.

    I am on the Lebanon/Berks line and http://www.berkscountyweddings.com/ helped me a lot because all they have on the PA things for TK are places in Carlisle and Harrisburg which was way out of my price range and driving range.
    Good luck!

    Hunters Valley Winery located south of Liverpool, PA is beautiful! It overlooks the Susquehanna River and the 5 acre vineyard. They also have a new wedding pavilion with sides that unroll like a tent. Check them out on Facebook or visit www.huntersvalleywines.com

    You can try the Cameron Estate Inn. They have both the Mansion for intimate smaller wedding or the Carriage house for larger weddings. The grounds are wonderful and they have several places to exchange vows and they have several packages taylored for second weddings.
    Their packages do not require a site fee and are all inclusive.
    Check out their website for details
