About this vendor
Wind in the Willows is a wedding and event venue in Grantville, PA. Located in the heart of central Pennsylvania on a 15-acre farm, this beautiful venue sits at the base of Blue Mountain and offers stunning views, including a three acre lake on the property. It is a space of country charm and modern elegance. The stone barn is heated and air conditioned to allow for use year-round, and provides beautiful views of the well-maintained grounds. The property also has a cottage and bridal suite for the wedding party to prepare before the wedding day begins. The gorgeous outdoor scenery provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. Indoor ceremonies can be held at the Wedding Chapel, a mid 19th century church - renovated and temperature controlled. The chapel is also available for receptions.
Everything we do at Wind in the Willows revolves around our three core values, which guide and direct everything we do:
1. Value - Our goal is to provide our couples with as much as we possibly can in one place and with one price. We don't want our clients to feel nickle and dimed at every step in the process. Everything we offer at the venue (tables, chairs, barrels, arbors, decorations, etc.) is included with our base package pricing.
2. Flexibility - Weddings at Wind in the Willows are not cookie cutter. Each of our couples brings with them a unique vision for their wedding. We want to embrace and support that vision and help our couples see it come to life. We also want to make sure our couples have flexibility in the vendors they choose. We do not have exclusive vendors, so our couples are free to choose vendors that fit their style and budget. Ultimately, we know that the best way for our couples to realize their dream wedding and still stay within budget is to have the flexibility to be in control of their own destiny.
3. Family - Wind in the Willows has always been a family owned business. We want our couples and their guests to feel that when they walk through our doors. Our couples are treated as family, not transactions. It is our deep belief that creating and cultivating a family atmosphere plays a huge role in how our couples experience their special day here.

bride and groom to get ready. Communication was mostly over email and answered quickly. Aaron and Andrea were very helpful with suggestions to make our day exactly what we wanted. Big thanks to Aaron for our after ceremony get away in the vintage truck! Being able to choose our own vendors was a nice perk as well.
The venue is gorgeous and the owners are the sweetest! Thank you for make our day so special!!
Wind in the Willows took such good care of us! They are extremely accommodating, helpful, and easy to talk to. They are laid back, friendly, yet extremely professional. The fact th...
at they offer decor from their decor shed is a HUGE money saver plus very enticing from someone who is always looking to reuse and not buy brand new and waste money, time, or space. That part also made cleanup very easy, we didn’t have too much to unload or reload.
The pricing was great, and we appreciated being able to use their decorations for free. We're not fancy decoration people, so it worked out. They only followed up when needed, neve...
r overbearing! Aaron and Andrea were very helpful throughout the whole process of our wedding. We appreciate the help with set-up and tear-down on the night. They are Christian, which is a plus! Would recommend to anyone! Thank you, Aaron and Andrea!
This venue is very beautiful, we were very well taken care of! It has everything we were looking for! Our wedding day was perfect! Would definitely recommend!
My husband and I had our wedding here in August 2025, and it was truly a dream come true. The venue itself is absolutely stunning simple, rustic, and surrounded by beautiful land ...
that creates such a peaceful and romantic atmosphere.
One of the biggest things that stood out to us was how affordable the venue was compared to others, without sacrificing beauty or quality. I also loved the decoration shed they offer, which saved us a lot of money and made planning so much easier.
The couple who own the venue are incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. Anytime I had questions during the planning process, they were quick to respond and very organized, which I truly appreciated and made everything run smoothly.
We honestly had our dream wedding here it was everything I had ever pictured for our special day. I couldn’t recommend this venue more and am so grateful we chose them.
This venue was so reasonable in price with an added feature of having so many wonderful decor to help spruce up your big day! The hospitality was so wonderful and the assistance th...

know. They had great staff through the day of our wedding help with decorations, coordination and fixed anything I needed! I love that they have an open house to check out the venue multiple times before your wedding, and their decorations were fantastic to use! If you are looking for a beautiful venue with great views, great staff, great communication and wonderful decorations this is the place to go! We had the most perfect day thanks to Wind in the Willows!
Wind in the Willows was perfectly stunning for our wedding! With a tight timeline, Willows worked kindly and efficiently with us to prepare for our day. Included decorations onsite...
was seriously amazing and made set up and take down quick and simple. Actually, we hardly used any decorations because the vendor itself was lovely and didn't need extras! I highly suggest using the chapel for your ceremony - it is timeless and beautiful with the stained glass and wooden flooring. If you weren't considering the chapel because you want outdoor pictures, just make sure you build in time to take pictures outside! The chapel is worth it. The bridal suite fully supplied our needs. Our guests still tell us how pretty our venue was and we agree!
Had the best experience on our wedding day at Wind in the Willows. Aaron and Andrea are so easy to work with, as well as their day of staff! Absolutely beautiful venue for a great ...

My husband and I had our wedding at Wind in the Willows on June 14, 2025. Even though it rained on and off for the day, it was absolutely beautiful and everything we could have eve...
r imagined thanks to Aaron, Andrea and their staff. We were able to use the decor shed to help us decorate for our ceremony and reception, along with some DIY things. This was a tremendous help! They provided an online planner as well to help not only plan logistics, but also to have all your thoughts and answers to questions in one location. Aaron, Andrea and their event hosts were friendly, respectful, and kind. This venue gave us all that we wanted/dreamed of in one location; from the pond, to the willow trees, and my husband's favorite - the 1951 Ford Truck. We could not be more thankful to Wind in the Willows for being our wedding venue. We would highly recommend them for your wedding!
They were amazing to work with!
This venue is simply amazing! Aaron was super communicative. They have a whole planning document and then actually follow it and it really truly made the whole day a million times ...
easier than I expected it to be. One takeaway from all of the guests was how beautiful the venue was and I couldn’t agree more! I kind of want to get married again so I can go back and experience it all again.
Where to even begin. WITWs made our dream wedding a reality. The venue space is beautiful and just gets better as the sun goes down. During the wedding planning process we had a sp...
ecific vision in mind of how we wanted our big day to look like and WITWs checked every box. Aaron & Andrea were a blessing to work with. Always there to answer questions leading up to the big day. Lisa the host coordinator was great as well. She assisted us with pulling decorations from the decoration shed and making sure all the chairs, tables & arbor were decorated just the way we envisioned. She even chased away some bees (lol) WITWs is always improving the grounds. Since we booked two years ago they have built a speakeasy for the guys to get ready in and upgraded the landscaping with accent lighting and a fountain. They also have extras you can add on to your day. We opted to rent the old truck for our bridal party. You can also rent the chapel. They also have multiple ceremony spaces on the grounds. We were married by the water feature down by the pond.
If you are looking for a venue with upscale rustic beauty look no further. WITWs is your venue!!!!
The owners were absolutely amazing and there for me and my wife every step of the way. Very tentative and responsive to our emails . And for the venue it was perfect . Everything w...
e dreamt of and more. We got so many compliments. I would 100/10 recommend wind in the willows. The decoration shed they have is unbelievable! I always like to say a downside to a place but truly couldn’t find one!
Outdoor ceremony chairs were not set up when we arrived at 8am the day of the wedding and we were told they would not be set up until 1:30pm which was an hour before our guests wer...
e to arrive. We had to do it ourselves in order to get it done in time to decorate chairs, decorate the arbor, and for our videographers drone to fly at 12 noon etc. It made the groom late as well some of the groomsmen and bride’s father for their arrival time due to having to set chairs up ourselves. The boat to take pictures in on the pond had a hole in it and was water logged with a mouse running around in it so we could not take pictures in it on the water. Venue owner’s response to this was that 1-2 brides have used it in past 1 or 2 years so how was he supposed to know and brushed it off like it was no big deal when we wanted to take sunset pics on the pond in the boat and could not. Wedding day of host provided by the venue was not friendly in the least, felt like everything we asked or discussed was bothersome to her. Never met with a smile by her, her delivery was not kind. Venue owner’s kids were running around in the yard throughout the day more times than 1 to the point where we had to boot them out of our photos at least 2-3 times as they were in the background of them. On top of that, venue owner’s wife was at our cocktail hour with their kids. When discussing these issues with the venue owner, he just defended his business and his employee and dismissed our opinions/experience instead of understanding what I was saying from my point of view and empathizing. Only took accountability for 1 item. Despite these issues, the venue is beautiful, the open houses were very beneficial, and the owner was very helpful in the pre-wedding planning process.
We couldn't rave about Wind in the Willows enough! The venue is stunning and it's clear that they are continually working towards improvements on their facilities as well as their ...
services. They are open to feedback and are available for any inquiries you may have. Their staff on the day of the wedding were kind, helpful, and fun. Wind in the Willows has an abundance of advice that they share with couples that were a huge help for us. They also have perks to booking their venue like access to their decor shed, a facebook group to communicate with other couples who have booked the venue, and open communication from the moment you book them. We couldn't be happier with the venue we choose and we would HIGHLY recommend them to any and all of our friends!
Wind in the Willows is the perfect place to get married. Talk about a dream wedding! The barn and lake are gorgeous and give the perfect amount of rustic and classy. 1000% would re...
commend to anyone looking for that vibe! The staff is incredible and very communicative, I love everything about our experience at WITW!
My Husband and I toured a lot of venues when looking for our perfect wedding spot, when we toured Wine in the Willows I just knew this was the spot we were going to have all our fr...
iends and family at to watch us say "I Do". The venue is just simply beautiful, from the outside to the inside. The staff was simply amazing throughout the months of preparing yourself for the wedding to the day of the wedding. I would recommend this venue over and over again to anyone looking to get married.
Truly the hidden gem of wedding venues in the Hershey/Harrisburg area! After weeks of searching we were getting discouraged by other venues feeling either too small, too expensive,...
or like the owners just did not care. By the time Andrea finished showing us around on our tour though we were ready to book with them. Not only is the property so well cared for, but everything from the lake, to the reception barn full of twinkling lights, and even the bridal suite and groom’s space were stunning. You will also not meet two nicer venue owners, you can tell Andrea and Aaron are experienced and actually care about you as a couple. Aaron always responded quickly to emails and even provided a great online planner that made it clear what we had to do on our part and got us thinking about all aspects of the wedding day. Perhaps the two best features of the venue are the red truck rental and the decor shed. I was debating renting the red truck but I’m so glad we did, Aaron drove my bridesmaids and me down to the ceremony by the lake, and after the ceremony he took the groom and I on a backroads drive which gave us a few quiet minutes away. The decor shed was a huge wallet saver, we got all of our centerpiece items out of there, as well as signage and other basic items for the reception. On the day of the wedding we had about 93 guests and the whole day went so smoothly. Many guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how everything flowed so nicely. Thanks to the affordable pricing here we were able to have the wedding of our dreams, I 1000% recommend them!
From the bottom of my heart I can not say enough good things about this venue and the family that owns it. Our wedding was more than we could have ever dreamed of. The venue is BEA...
UTIFUL and so well maintained. It is very affordable, they have TONS of decors available to use, and the venue hosts are SO helpful to make your day run smoothly. I can not say enough good things about this venue and the couple that owns it.
Wind in the Willows is a high-quality wedding venue with people who are down to earth. Andrew and Andrea are with you every step of the way. They offer suggestions during the plann...
ing process, offer different locations to host your ceremony, allow you to choose your own vendors (which is a big deal) and they have a decor shed to help make your wedding ceremony and reception everything you dreamed of! I personally think their price beats other venues based on how they treat their clients and everything they offer. It was the only place for us to be married at.
Aaron and Andrea are fantastic to work with and the venue is absoultely gorgeous, especially in the fall! We used the chapel for our ceremony and the way the sun hit the windows, i...
t put us literally in the spotlight and shone down on us the entire time! The barn and the grounds were absolultely perfect for our wedding photos and the party afterwards!
Plus they have a decor shed that you can utilize for your decorations!
If you are in the market for looking at venues, consider touring this one! You won't regret it!
We searched high and low for the perfect venue for our day and finally stumbled upon Wind In the Willows. The price point was perfect, and we loved that it also included a lot of d...
ecor that fit the setting perfectly! Aaron and Andrea are both so welcoming and kind, they are super responsive to any questions that you might have, and they make everything about planning your special day feel easy. We have received never-ending compliments about how beautiful, fun and unique our wedding was, and we attribute it all to Wind In the Willows. We could not have picked a better venue for our day!

ith all the lights & decorations! It all was just so perfect. Aaron & Andrea were very kind & responsive & always answered all of our questions. Their whole staff was very pleasant. It was a very wonderful experience & I’m very happy we went with this venue. They made our wedding day perfect!
The wedding was perfect. We were lucky to find a prime-time Saturday in September opening at a venue so close to our area. The weather cooperated for us and we ended up with a beau...
tiful ceremony by the water. This provided a short walk up to happy hour and our reception. I was impressed with how efficient Aaron and his staff work. The venue was set up exactly how we wanted it. They have an online form of communication that makes it easy on both ends to explain exactly what we wanted. They are open to who you pick for your vendors which is what we enjoyed most. The Groomsmen suite was equipped with AC, which helped us stay cool and comfortable before the wedding. The Bridal suite was even more perfect.
Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say about this venue. If you have more than 150 people, I would recommend looking elsewhere just because of the size of the barn. But everything else was just tremendous. Thank you Wind in the Willows!

Our overall experience at Wind in the Willows was amazing! Wind in the Willows definitely supported us with resources and asked the right questions to help us think through the pl...
anning process. Also, we appreciated how the Wind in the Willows staff and the way they present and maintain their venue made our experience feel comfortable and easy throughout the planning process and wedding day. We loved that the staff made us feel like family, as family was such an important part of our wedding day. We loved that the venue has the decoration shed and the yard games because it was a huge help in not having to make/buy things or having to bring all of those extra things along to the venue on our wedding day. We appreciated the open houses and the final walkthrough as both events allowed us to better think through the planning process by actually being at the venue to talk it out, and allowed us to feel more prepared for the wedding day. We loved the vendor page on the website and the Facebook page for booked couples, as it allowed us to get good references/resources in our vendor search and helped us to book vendors that fit our budget while getting great quality! Everything about our wedding day went smoothly and all of our guests loved their experience and the venue as well!
Aaron and Andrea helped create the wedding of our dream. They were amazing to work with and helped ease the stress of planning a wedding. Not to mention their immaculate grounds an...
d barn for a wedding experience like no other. They also provided a day of point person who attended to and directed all the vendors, taking all of the day of stressors off our shoulder. Aaron and Andrea were available and attentive to all our needs, and were just some of the most authentic and good hearted people you could meet. If you're looking for a breathtaking venue with awesome owners to help you through your wedding journey, then you've just found it!

I have always dreamed of a laid back wedding with plenty of outdoor space and a beautiful barn-style indoor space. When I stepped foot in the Wind in the Willows barn, I knew this ...
was it. Aaron and Andrea were so pleasant, helpful, and organized. They helped us through every step of the way. I truly appreciated that they had options to use some decor from their stock and did so much to help our day be perfect. We brought cornhole, giant jenga, and (plastic) axe throwing to be set up on the grounds. It was the best day ever.
We were so pleased with our wedding at Wind in the Willows! We couldn't have picked a better venue. We still are getting compliments on how pretty the venue is with the vintage bar...

We were very blessed to find a venue that fit our heart's desire and could afford. If you're looking to have flexibility on decorating and vendors then this place is perfect for you. The decoration shed was a huge bonus. We were allowed to use anything which was convenient since we lived out of state. Highly recommend Wind in the Willows!

r day of coordinator, kierstan, was absolutely phenomenal. Aaron and Andrea are the sweetest people and they were so responsive to any question or need and incredibly flexible. The grounds, barn, and chapel were stunning and beautifully maintained. I absolutely loved this place ❤️
We couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else! We had the best wedding thanks for this beautiful venue!
Wind in the Willows is by far the best choice we could have made for our big day. Aaron and Andrea are the kindest, most helpful people, and will make your event an absolute breeze...
! The property is absolutely beautiful, and the time and craftsmanship that have been put into the barn, grounds, bridal suite, and chapel is evident from the moment you arrive. The decorations shed is absolutely stuffed with goodies, with more being added after every event, (although you don't need much to make the barn look amazing!) On top of everything else, WITW provides an online planner, event host, a great catalog of suggested vendors, and more to ensure you have a smooth and easy experience. You absolutely cannot go wrong!
Absolutely amazing! Everything that weekend went so smooth. We had everything we needed and even asked of that day, it was perfect.
The venue is beautiful and the staff are extremely helpful. We did very little setup because the venue's staff did much of the work. The venue is private without the intervention o...
f onlookers. They are also extremely accommodating, providing a huge amount of items in their catalog to use for the big day! Aaron and company are extremely nice as well!
Aaron and Andrea make Wind in the Willows a top notch choice for a wedding! They’re personable, down to earth, and caring individuals! I love the fact that they live on the propert...
y and raise their kids there-it brings a whole new meaning to being personally invested in their couples-and it truly shows! Their wedding package includes so much that a lot of other venues do not: access to the decoration shed, earlier access to the venue than other places we looked at, wedding hosts, and the cutest little chapel and truck rental. They do not nickel and dime their couples-they truly just want their couples to enjoy their property as much as they do! Also, Aaron drove me and my bridesmaids to the chapel right before getting married and he totally helped to keep my calm right before walking down the aisle. I told my husband that while he is THE man Aaron is also the man! Aaron & Andrea; you’ve got a great thing going and any future couples are lucky to have you be part of their special day!
Andrea and Aaron were such a pleasure to work with! They made our special day go smoothly! Wind in the Willows is a beautiful venue! I love that they offer decor to borrow for the ...
day of, that was a wonderful bonus. On the day of our wedding Andrea was super helpful with setup and made sure everything looked the way I had planned. Would recommend! Thank you so much!
We originally reached out to WITW online for more venue information. Aaron was so quick with responding for timeslots to tour the venue. Upon arrival to WITW, we were so impressed ...
by the view and the overall care that is so obviously poured into the venue. Immediately we knew we were at the right place for our special day. The process was so easy with contracts, an online planner, even a catalog with photos of the decor barn made everything a breeze. The day of, staffing was everywhere making sure every last detail was addressed for us. In the end, we both would recommend this venue to everyone.
The absolute BEST wedding venue in the Central PA area! We just had our fall wedding here and it was PERFECTION! The reception hall has a beautiful rustic barn feel, the lighting ...
is stunning, and the space is large perfect for 100-130 people. The cocktail area downstairs is also beautiful - you can have an indoor and/or outdoor cocktail hour so the weather is not a problem. We had our ceremony in their private chapel, which was a perfect touch to our day! There are many options for the ceremony location, which allows for reassurance in the case of bad weather. The venue's price is very reasonable, including a large decor shed that you can pull from to decorate on your big day. This decor shed keeps growing with each wedding, so there is always more to choose from.
The owners, Aaron and Andrea, are a true blessing. Their communication, promptness, and professionalism are top-notch. They proved to be easily accessible and accommodating to our every need throughout the process. They are as hands-on as you would like, but always willing to provide more assistance as you need it. Overall, we had the PERFECT day here and would recommend this venue to anyone.
A beautiful venue for a reasonable price. Saved time and money by using onsite decorations. Aaron and Andrea were very helpful leading up to the wedding and the day of. They were v...
