July 2020 Wedding

Michael and I dreamed about getting married at Historic Shady Lane for several years and finally on July 10th, our dreams came true. The property is drop dead gorgeous. My guests could not stop raving about it. They said it was the most amazing venue they had ever seen, and I agree! The staff, especially Bradania, are sooo wonderful. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but having to deal with rescheduling due to COVID was nightmarish, but Bradania calmed our nerves and took care of us. She was so comforting in a time with so much uncertainty, we knew we were in good hands. It rained the day of our wedding, but everything went off without issue. It almost looked even more romantic in the rain. Our ceremony was in the greenhouse and the reception was under the large tent, and they quickly swapped the cocktail hour to inside the greenhouse. They offer a lot of on site assistance and management and even allow you to use the antique furniture which added to our whole aesthetic. They are the total package. It was a dream. That's the best way to describe it! Attached photos are credited to Maria Crisafulli Photography.

September 2023 wedding of our dreams

Historic Shady Lane was the perfecf wedding venue! From the start of the tour with Caitlyn prior to booking, we were instantly stunned by how beautiful the property is and how well taken care of it is. We only toured this wedding venue and instantly fell in love with it even though there was snow on the ground the day we toured as the property has so many beautiful features including the greenhouse! Historic Shady Lane has so many beautiful options for ceremony sites and has separate bride and groom suites for the day of to get ready which are both well equipped for the entire day! We were able to spend our entire day on site getting ready, the ceremony and reception and they provided golf carts for easy and quick access around the property. Caitlyn and the HSL team are very responsive and helped make sure our day ran so smoothly along with our day of coordinator team from Sapphire Road. We truly could not have imagined a more perfect wedding venue than Historic Shady Lane!

Wedding Venue of our Dreams

My wife and I got married at Historic Shady Lane (HSL) in September and it was an absolutely perfect experience! For starters the venue is absolutely gorgeous and the property is very well maintained with many different choices for ceremony and cocktail hour locations (we were particularly fond of the Greenhouse Terrace with all of the hydrangeas). We were going for a garden party theme and HSL delivered on that vision perfectly. In addition to all of the beautiful outdoor locations, there was also a beautiful bridal suite for the Bride's party to get ready and a cool and relaxing den for the Groom's party to hang out and get ready. The bridal suite was incredibly open with a ton of natural light which was perfect for taking some of the best photos imaginable. The cottage where the bridal suite was in featured a ton of spots for photo opportunities all around the house. In terms of logistics this venue also delivers from the minute you book it to the end of your event. Throughout the entire process Caitlyn, the Venue Director, helped us every step of the way. She was responsive to questions and helped make all the planning and little details that much easier. The venue staff were incredibly helpful and made the day go smoothly (they even had golf carts so we could get around the property quickly and easily). Booking HSL was the best decision my wife and I made for our wedding and it truly helped the entire vision come to life. If you are reading this and are on the fence, I would say book it! There is truly something for everyone here. There are so many choices for ceremony location and different packages for to fit different budgets that I think any couple would be overjoyed to get married here. Thanks so much to Caitlyn and all of the staff at HSL for making our day truly unforgettable.

Historic Shady Lane has become one of our favorite venues. It is not only set on a beautiful property abundant with greenery, but it also offers rustic space and unique atmosphere within old stone walls. Our heart though was stolen by the people who take care and manage the venue. Lauren is amazing to work with. She is a professional, yet extremely friendly and welcoming property manager. We could not say enough good words about Historic Shady Lane!

Historic Shady Lane is breathtaking and I always look forward to my many visits there.
