Lauxmont Farms

s, and has no time limits- you have found it! And if you didn't know that was a thing till now...me neither till I found this venue! It is so nice to be able to pick any vendors, and not be stressed about leaving at the end of the night by a strict time! Any other venue you look at will not come close to all Lauxmont's venue perks! One of my favorite things about the venue is how quick they reply to emails with the answer to any question you might have!! This makes the planning process a lot smoother. I am so thankful I had my wedding day at Lauxmont Farms!!

nfirmed that this must be the place I get married. Over the last two years of planning this special day, I received the greatest care. There wasn’t a question they couldn’t answer or a concern they couldn’t fix. They made my day become everything I had always dreamed of. If you’re looking for a place with extraordinary views and great staff look no further. Special shout out to these staff members, Wedding planner: Ceci, Coordinator: Hannah, Assistant coordinator: Teresa, Attendant: Vera, and Hosts: Adam and Brandon. -Christian Garcia

he vision of our wedding day come to life and knew this was where we were meant to be married. Lauxmont is a completely DIY venue, which is something I would emphasize to future brides. I did not realize how much planning that goes into making your day piece together without having a designated planner - so make sure you spend time looking into logistics with the venue coordinators. We hired an additional Day of Coordinator (Beyond Blissful Events, LLC), and I highly recommend doing that as the Lauxmont Coordinators are separate and mainly for venue related items. My DOC alleviated any and all stress day-of and took care of EVERYTHING! I did not have to worry about any details, vendors or timelines. We were incredibly lucky when it came to weather, and did not need to use our rain plan. We rented an additional tent in the off chance that we had inclement weather, as there really is no plan B for cocktail hour or the ceremony. Keep this in mind. The venue is beautiful and I wouldn't make any changes. Just be aware that you are in charge of all vendors, clean up, trash, decorations, etc and are required to have everything off-site the night of the wedding and completely off property by 9AM the next day. You also cannot store any items at the venue the day before or week prior, this was a challenge. Overall, we had an amazing day with all of our friends and family and could not have done that without the support of the Lauxmont staff and all of our amazing vendors!

wedding at the Cobblestone Courtyard super easy. Their day of coordinators were both super nice and personable and made sure that the entire wedding went perfectly. My wedding was beautiful and I have no regrets in choosing Lauxmont. I HIGHLY recommend their venues.

edding process and on the day of the event. The venue coordinators were also so kind and helpful. Highly recommend getting married here!

re beautiful and a great location for the ceremony and celebration. Even though we had some rain, the staff was amazing in being able to shift some plans inside and still set gorgeous tables and other decorations. We had a really fun time and thorough enjoyed the evening!

ove of his life and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect and beautiful venue in all PA than Lauxmount Farms. We chose the Rotunda venue for its breathtaking views of the Susquehanna River in the background. Everything was designed and planned to perfection with skilled and friendly staff assisting to make sure this was a dream wedding. My family and friends loved Lauxmont Farms, the whole place seemed magical felt like we were on a movie set. Thank you for making this day one that we will forever treasure and cherish for years to come.

ything was perfect, would be an understatement. From the top-notch customer service (and having direct interactions with ownership), the Lauxmont team went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was truly special! The scenery around the entire property is breathtaking and the communication with the team was superb. We give them the highest ranking possible because well, they deserve it! Thank you Lauxmont!

the Rotunda & Cocktail / Reception at the Japanese Garden. We were aware that the venue itself was super minimal with a few inclusions, therefore had to get basic needs from other vendors. The venue was happy to help find us vendors & accommodate any nuances. There were little to no restrictions on what we wanted. Which was a definite plus for us. Additionally, the views & farm was absolutely breathtaking which made our big Indian wedding unique & had our guests raving. Other than what's mentioned above, we do think that Lauxmont has a lot of room for improvement when it comes to items included within the venue packages. We struggled a lot to find a dumpster, additional restrooms / restroom trailers, etc. The venue coordinators also seemed unexperienced & out of the loop & disconnected from our hired wedding coordinators. Since we had a traditional Hindu wedding & our timeline was robust, the venue coordinators were not fully equipped to handle. We're thankful that we'd booked other wedding coordinators because our wedding would not have been a success with just the venue coordinators. We needed to store a lot of the wedding items at the farms before our big day & we're also thankful that the venue accommodated for that; however when it came to transporting the items for the events, our wedding coordinators had dig through rubble to get all the items for the events while the venue coordinators didn't help much. Additionally, the venue coordinators seemed to have been working in shifts so we had different people at different times with the exception of the manager. Overall, the venue is SO beautiful & we had the most beautiful wedding! We do believe that Lauxmont Farms has the potential to become way better to attract the Indian wedding community & vendors if they improve their services & offerings - even with a slightly higher cost. People will be willing to pay the extra dollars for the improvements.

ew was. The staff at Lauxmont were very accommodating and attentive. The only minor complaint was that their staff seemed a bit unorganized. I had to fill out the same paperwork a few times and the staff didn't seem to communicate with each other. I was a bit worried that if I didn't tell them directly what I wanted, they wouldn't get the correct information; however, all of my worries were for nothing. Overall - great venue!

you Ceci, Ron, and the entire team for everything you did.

imate, and we liked the courtyard for the ceremony. The staff at Lauxmont go above and beyond to make the wedding process as easy as possible and less stressful. They are very knowledgeable about what it takes to pull off a wedding and also have great input on decorating. They are very professional and know what they are doing. We went with the florist Laura Kohr and photographer Katy Trefry who were both wonderful to work with, professional, and good at what they do. Our day turned out better than we had imagined! We had mission BBQ cater the food and the staff for them was professional, helpful, and also went the extra mile. You cannot go wrong with choosing Lauxmont as your venue. We even did the horse and carriage ride. We highly recommend this venue for any event.

s beautiful. The ceremony was perfect, and the reception was a total blast. The staff at Lauxmont were there throughout the day, and their wedding coordinator , Alyse, went above and beyond in taking care of every detail during the reception. We will definitely be back to have our wedding at the Rotunda (hint hint to my BF) 😍

htaking view The staff was wonderful to work with. The facility is very user friendly, our caterer was able to function to his highest standards! The most memorable day was made possible by Lauxmont Farms and there wonderful staff! Thank you!

nd and she was super sweet and attentive. They are very flexible with covid and are very understanding. We were able to change our date if needed, but we ended up keeping our original date. They even gave us a healthcare worker discount as well! They are super responsive with emails as well, and answered my gazillion questions that I had. No one was ever rude to me. We originally booked in Sunken Gardens, but they let me switch to the Rotunda since it opened up. Due to covid they would've even let me switch back to Sunken Gardens if needed, but we fell in love with the Rotunda and the view is so breathtaking. We had our ceremony outdoors, and the reception indoors. The place comes with a venue coordinator, we had Adelle. It is not in her job description to help us unload the car with heavy boxes or to help decorate, but she was very kind and offered her assistance to help unload the car and she also helped decorate. The day of the wedding, I was freaking out all morning because it was supposed to rain 90% chance. I met with one of the owners of the venue and assured me if it did rain I can have it set up exactly how I wanted inside. He said if I had problems with anything I can tell him (which I didn't have any problems, but it was very nice and reassuring to know that). Everything was setup exactly how I wanted, and our day turned out so perfectly! I just wish it didn't go by so fast! I cannot be more happy with how the staff treated us. They really went above and beyond. The place was very clean, and exactly as the contract stated. I got my security deposit back quickly as well. Thank you so much, we HIGHLY recommend them!

dding. Taylor at Lauxmont Farms texted me that night to help me out and got us in to see the venue that same weekend. They have been so flexible and helpful, especially with all of my anxious questions while planning during this year. It worked out for the best as this venue was beyond gorgeous!! We got married at the Japanese Gardens. They have just the right amount of DIY/blank slate options while still being there to help and providing bridal suites, chairs/tables, etc. I'm soo glad our original venue fell through and that we went with Lauxmont Farms!

imagined. Everything was perfect. Caroline our day of coordinator was so helpful. Ron and Cecilia were so kind, caring, easy to get a hold of and organized. The venue was beautiful, inside and out. I was so relaxed leading up to the wedding because everything was falling into place between the venue and vendors perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about the Lauxmont team. All of the venues are beautiful, I chose the Rotunda because I was worried about the weather and because of the views, the beautiful round barn and the easy access for older guests. If you, are like me, and anxious about worst case scenario (rain) consider Lauxmont because their team made my worst nightmare into a perfect day. I’n actually glad it rained now!!!

th. We knew we didn't have to worry about anything because she had everything taken care of. The bride and the bridesmaids truly all had such a fun and relaxing day! The venue was absolutely beautiful and well-kept. I highly recommend Lauxmont Farms.

weeds between the cobblestone would be pulled the day before our wedding, but they were not. Overall, though, we could look past this because the coordinators were so flexible and allowed us to setup early. If you're looking for a venue to give you some great pictures, I definitely recommend Lauxmont.

of atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. The staff was nothing but helpful in the run up and during the course of our weekend-we couldnt praise them enough. Their attentiveness and care was so genuine that they all felt like guests on our favorite day. They are dedicated to seeing that everyone has a good time and that they exceed expectations. In conclusion, I’d have no problem recommending Lauxmont Farms or using them again. Truly a great experience!

s a real shame because the place could be top notch if there were more common sense and attention to detail

beautiful! I ignored bad reviews because I thought the negative reviews were just some brides being too particular. But I hope I can help a future bride when I say DONT GET MARRIED HERE!! Here are the top 4 things that happened that I feel like you need to know about: 1) I was promised that the venue would have a new area built for my girls to get ready. I confirmed multiple times that it would be built. At my rehearsal they told me "it won't be built, sorry". Me and my 12 bridesmaids were put in a small and DIRTY cottage! There we're bugs, one toilet that wouldn't flush, and the air-conditioning didn't work. 2) I was told by multiple people that we could hang lanterns in the tent. 2 weeks before the wedding that information changed to "you can do this but you have to pay us an extra $200". 3) They promised an air-conditioned reception tent, and they told us the wedding morning that it was broken. My mom ask the staff to open up the sides of the tent to let some fresh air in. In the MIDDLE of the ceremony they started using what sounded like a sledge hammer to bang the doors open. My husband and I could hear loud banging as we we're trying to listen to the officiant in the middle of our wedding. 4) We were told that they would have people on horseback to direct guests to the wedding. This didn't happen. I confirmed with my guests, and nobody saw anyone guiding traffic on horseback, and multiple people had trouble finding our venue because of it. My wedding was beautiful and the view was spectacular. I loved being able to decorate everything how I wanted and we have some stunning photos. But I was really unhappy with the venue. I wish I knew that they were disorganized and full of empty promises before I payed a LOT of money for this venue. I would go back in time and pick a new venue if I could!

n, it could is some love. Overall we would recommend Lauxmont!

all very impressed as well. The staff at Lauxmont is very accommodating and attentive. They reached out several times leading up to my event to make sure everything was all set. My only minor complaint was that my tables were not laid out as I had intended which made for a stressful set up. Overall - great venue, would definitely book again!

April, were enough to get us to make a commitment even before we spoke to anyone. Now were there a few things that I wish were included with the price, of course, and of course it would have been easier to have everything included (linens, trash, decorations, etc.) and a specific person you work with as far as catering and bar tending goes, but it made our experience unique and allowed us to get our families more involved and to put a little more personality into our wedding. Everyone we got to work with at Lauxmont was extremely helpful, although you have to email a few times, or call, to make sure you get the answers you need. I would definitely recommend because all of our guests would not stop talking about how this was the most beautiful venue they've ever been too!

rs to decorate. The staff was great and the wedding was perfect. Our bride and groom couldn't be more happier. We are looking forward to many more events at Lauxmont Farms.

h the staff, management, and terrible communication. We would not recommend the boutique as a rental for furniture as our experience was like pulling teeth to get the correct items we rented and paid for prior to our wedding. Things that were promised were not there or usable. The groomsmen suite was without electricity for my husband to use so he needed to get ready in the caterer’s kitchen. We were not happy about this and the many other details they dropped the ball with. We are not recommending this venue after numerous attempts to discuss our issues with the owner.

t clean. There was no power at the ceremony site, so we had no microphones (thank god our DJ used a wireless setup for the music!). The lighting was nonexistent after the sun went down, making it very difficult for our guests to leave. Finally, we were promised mounted parking attendants to direct people, which never happened. Some of my guests ended up at the wrong wedding! Good not great. Go elsewhere for the price.

s beautiful inside and outside, the views are amazing. We loved and enjoyed every moment along with our family and friends. I felt like a Queen with my King, everything turned out the way we imagined. I want to thank Cecilia for all the help she gave us, and making sure everything was perfect for our big day. Cecilia was always available in answering questions we had, very kind, humble and such a wonderful person. The vendors we had are the best. A special day to always remember.

iple times to see if we needed anything while getting prepared for the big day. The view was amazing and it looked even better at night. My friend had the wedding of her dreams <3

ovided this business with products for their horses they use for receptions. Haven't paid overdue invoices now for over 2 and a half years! Would not trust using this venue at all. Will not respond to phone calls, won't follow through on promises made, wouldn't consider working with them at all!

y also promised us that they would have someone there directing traffic… But during the ceremony food trucks for the other venue Began driving by…. Also… Prior to the wedding… They said that the Workman would be done by noon… They were shoveling mulch at two to 3 o’clock in the afternoon with guests arriving at around 330. Totally Unacceptable and unprofessional. In addition, the on-site person chose to go to lunch in the midst of our set up… Seemed to care more about herself then what we were trying to do with the venue. Also… Don’t believe they are handicap accessible! We had to hunt down the golf cart to get some of our elderly guests from the wedding site to the reception site… Something that they promised! Also… I think it was totally inappropriate that they had a child driving the golf cart! There was a man with him but this kid could not of been even 12 years old! I don’t believe this place is worth the money!… Unless you just want the Riverview. Although this site is beautiful… Which helped us manage to save the day… The service at Lauxmont Farms is incredible poor. For the price you pay for this venue… One would expect better service… We must’ve just paid for the view!

enue was clean and dry from the rain the day prior. All four venues are breathtaking and the freedom at Lauxmont is PERFECT. You are able to have your dream wedding and that’s exactly what we had. Our day could not have gone more smooth. Our guests, one month later are STILL saying that our wedding was the wedding of the year!!

nt, unprofessional, and just dumb. I wouldn't have a wedding here if they paid for the whole thing, its that bad. save yourself a headache, disappointment, and stress and look elsewhere. There are so many other wedding venues out there that are gorgeous and have staff that actually care about you and how well your wedding goes. Lauxmont hides behind "they're just the venue" . That's the sad part, they can't even do that part right. If i could vote negative 5 stars I would!!!!!! GODS HONEST TRUTH, OH SPEAKING IF WHICH THEY WILL LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH, TELLING EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR UNTIL THEY GET YOUR MONEY AND THEN YOU'LL SEE HOW MUCH OF WHAT THEY TELL YOU IS ABSOLUTE BS!!!

ed differently that have caused me to give this negative review. 1. The bridal party arrived at the venue around 9am to begin preparation for the day. The groom, spent approximately 45min helping the wedding coordinator, make a broken window safe for the day. They had to apply clear tape to the cracked window to secure the glass so that it would not fall out and injure our guests. This should have been handled by the staff, prior to the wedding party’s arrival. 2. The bride and groom rented a wash tub to hold drinks. This item was not at the venue until after noon. The delay caused the ice for drinks to melt more rapidly and more needed to be purchased. 3. The cake table that was reserved arrive at the venue after 1 pm. The table was green and orange, not wooden table like the pictures. The groom spent approximately an hour in a barn with the staff member trying to find a suitable table. During this time the person bringing the cake had arrived and had no place to set the cake up. They spent over an hour in her car with the AC on trying to keep the cake from melting. 4. Around 3:30 pm, I witnessed a staff member walking past the rotunda windows with a can of spray paint. The staff member going to touch up the paint on the Arbor. I stopped him just before he was ready to spray paint, because we had decorations sitting by the arbor that he was NOT going to move. The staff should have notified someone of their plans before proceeding 5. The grooms involvement in some of these issues caused photo opportunities to be missed due to time running out. 6. At 4:30pm, the coordinator informs me that the horse chosen to pull the carriage after the ceremony is afraid of dogs. The bride and groom had planned from the beginning to have their dog present at the wedding ceremony. This information was untimely and should have been discussed prior to 4:30pm. We had to make some last-minute changes to the wedding party exit to accommodate the frightened horse. 7. Finally, around 6:30pm when everyone was inside the rotunda, dinner was being served and speeches were being made, there was a staff member and his children standing outside the rotunda windows. The staff member was lighting the fire pits, which the bride and groom specifically requested not to be done. The fire was unnecessary and unwanted. This was yet one more distraction that could have been avoided. Most weddings can expect to have an issue or 2, but to have 7 issues that happened on the same day was disruptive and caused unnecessary stress. These issues started overshadowing the natural beauty of the venue itself. I have reached out to the management at Lauxmont Farms and they have not responded to us. It is disappointing that there is so little customer service. Future Bride’s beware!

we needed or how she could help. Ron answered every phone call i made after hours leading up to our day and was extremely accommodating. It was a fairytale day and everything exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Lauxmont Farms, Rotunda!!

ly unreachable the day of. What was promised during walk through and contract was not provided during the wedding. We were left without a coordinator most of the day and did not even have access to our cocktail area of the venue which we did not find out until cocktail hour itself. Below I will go into greater detail. When we contacted the venue after the event to discuss (we wanted to ensure no other couple would go through what we did) their response after over a month wait was $200 attached to the security deposit and no actual apology or promise to correct the site (the site cost almost $9,000). We would have posted this immediately after but unfortunately opted to go with the photographer who lives on site, Katy Trefry. She did not provide our photos until 8 months after the wedding and we wanted to make sure we received them. Bridal/Groom Suites -We were not told which location until 30 minutes after we were supposed to have access -Locked outside delaying our ability to use it until our ‘coordinator’ arrived almost an hour late -Dirty on arrival, still had previous bride’s belongings EVERYWHERE including old underwear, empty beer bottles, and cigarettes - Someone apparently living there which we were not informed of. - Unprotected electrical outlets sticking out of walls - A lot of dead bugs Event Coordinator - Not an actual coordinator, works with the horses (her confession not a speculation) -Gave multiple tours to prospective clients without letting us know instead of helping or being available the day of -Provided no help when asked, did not assist in setup, and unreachable almost the entire time - Several guests directed to the wrong wedding -When found and confronted (multiple times) she would again disappear to be seen later giving more tours Cocktail hour (Japanese Garden) -Garden completely out of service (no interior lighting, pumps not turned on) -Ponds filthy -Lighting minimal to nonexistent (dangerous to guests) -Nothing in that area to use, despite going over the plan and laying out the site and tables with the venue a month prior Reception -Coordinator went home just before cocktail hour without completing most duties -Everyone from venue unreachable (no one on location, no one answered phone) -Several electrical problems including tent lights/outlets going dark, exposed outlets, etc. -Site still clearly under some construction (we were promised completed by event). -Told only 1 month prior that we would be responsible for all trash cans and trash removal, that's a fun one to try to figure out and add to budget last minute. Please beware! Read other reviews as we were not the only one to go through this, Lauxmont charges you (a lot) and promises so much that is never delivered. Your wedding day should be a dream not a nightmare!

parking attendants which i was told literally before i walked down the aisle wasnt going to happen. I was told i would have a beautiful new bridal suite, promised it would be done, then told it wasnt done a week before the wedding. I was told if it wasnt done i would have a house to get ready in, then i was told that was wrongly promised to me... so At first they wanted to put me in the Attic of a lived in house to get ready.. I freaked out so then they gave me a smaller less nice location to get ready that was further away from my venue. The thursday before my wedding i received an e-mail which sounded like i could choose my location to get ready so the bridal suite was seemingly done but there was no running water in it. My day of person was nice but clearly had no control over many things. We were told if the suite wasnt ready we would get 500 dollars back and then when we called to get it back after arriving thinking the suite was ready day of and it wasnt. My mother called the venue after the wedding and was treated terribly and did not receive the promised money. throughout the planning process the venue was very nice and "yes dear" but when we arrived for our 30 day walk through, they had forgotten about our appointment. They will be nice to you and make you think eveyrthing will be perfect for the day but no one communicates with anyone. If i hadnt hired outside day of planners they wedding wouldnt have worked at all. I had an amazing wedding despite Lauxmont farms staff.

After taking a tour and seeing all of the venues, my husband and I knew we wanted Lauxmont to be our venue but couldn't decide which venue to choose because they are all so beautiful! We ultimately chose the Cobblestone Courtyard for its rustic feel. The cobblestone area itself is beyond gorgeous. We used the dove house for the bar which our guests were super impressed with. The reception area has 3 bathrooms and a great amount of space. We had about 135 guests and still had a ton of room to work with. The staff was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. They are a wealth of knowledge on the wedding business and vendors in South Central Pennsylvania. They offered support and guidance when needed. The 30 day consultation really brings a bride's plan together. We really loved that it was an open venue. We did things a little nontraditionally and Lauxmont was easily able to accommodate those things for us. Our guests had the best time and raved about the flow of the venue. One guest even said it was the best wedding she had ever been to! It was an absolute blessing that we were able to have our wedding at Lauxmont!

venue was gorgeous. Our guests repeatedly told us that it was a fairytale day! As soon as our ceremony ended, the horse and buggy came over the hill to pick us up. It was a beautiful sight! The staff at Lauxmont was very accommodating and even allowed us to use another bridal suite that was not being used for the guys to get ready in ! Our favorite thing about this venue was that there was no "end time" that we had to be out by. We actually kept the party rolling until 12:30 ! Also, we were able to bring in any vendors that we wanted as well as bring our own alcohol which saved us a ton of money. The only negative was that communication was hard at times, but once our wedding got closer, that improved greatly. If you are looking for a great spot with an amazing view and flexibility, this is your spot! -Nick & Sarah Michalak

asy to find a site that suits your desired tastes and accommodates the varying numbers of your wedding guests. I have attended several events at Lauxmont Farms, which always take my breath away. Friends who are brides or bridesmaids always describe their pleasant experience working with the Lauxmont staff. I highly recommend Lauxmont Farms, it will not disappoint!
