Irons Mill Farmstead Reviews

The team and the venue are OUTSTANDING!
I worked a wedding at IMF in May and was blown away by all.of.the.things. It is such a gorgeous space, both indoor and out. As soon as I stepped foot in the barn to set up my gear, I felt welcomed and at ease. Leah greeted me warmly and eased any anxieties I had about performing my 1st wedding back since the year before. The timeline flowed flawlessly because of the incredible collaboration between myself and Leah + Nellie, and there was just an overall vibe of positive energy. I love how they do a bonfire after, too! Seriously, when you work with such a great staff combined with a beautiful space, the results are epic. I live over an hour away and would gladly work here every weekend. Awesome job, you guys!

I have always been in love with this venue, but getting to have my wedding here just blew everything out of the water. Leah and Nelle were phenomenal to work with and had everything down to a T on what we were looking for on our special day. They ensured our timeline was ready to roll, and answered a hundred questions anytime one popped into my head which I was over the moon about, because it was just so helpful. The grounds are gorgeous, and the venue exceeded every expectation I had.

First the obvious: the venue is simply gorgeous and perfectly set-up for great wedding fun. But most importantly, we can't say enough good things about the team at Irons Mill Farmstead. From the vendors they suggested (we followed their suggestions 100% and are so glad we did), to the planning process (we postponed our wedding one year due to the pandemic), to managing countless moving parts and small details - they absolutely nailed it. Leah and Nelle made the process so easy and organized, and we always felt like we had a professional, experienced, and responsive partner to support us. Our wedding day was characterized by on-again, off-again rain, and we were so impressed by their ability to plan ahead and make solid game-day decisions with just the right amount of consultation to make sure we got just what we needed while also being able to enjoy our day without sweating the details. All our guests had an amazing time, and we highly recommend Irons Mill Farmstead for a beautiful, successful wedding!

We, as well as our guests, love this venue. It is a gorgeous barn with the ability to have your ceremony outside. The coordinator, Leah, is FANTASTIC. She kept our heads on straight when we had to change dates due to Covid and there was no additional cost to postpone to another open date. She was also present the day of the wedding along with her assistant Nell who both made the day run without a hitch. The day went flawlessly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would highly recommend!

If you want the wedding of your dreams and the wedding staff of your dreams for no extra cost, get married here. Leah and her team are amazing! The spend all day with you, holding your bouquets, your dress, helping get anything you need. The make a way for you to make sure you have the perfect day. I can’t say enough about the team and the beautiful barn! It’s the perfect place to get married!

I cannot say enough about how Irons Mill is WORTH IT! From the beautiful venue, getting Leah as the venue coordinator, and the small details, it was a fabulous day. We got married at an interesting time in the world, but Leah worked hard to make it seem seamless! The details put into the venue itself make it so worth it, but the addition of the venue coordinator made it a no brainer when booking this spot. The exclusive catering company, Medure's, is also amazing and was willing to work with us through the restrictions. We couldn't have been luckier, or had a better day! Once we saw the venue and talked with Leah, no venue could ever compare -- I recommend to ALL of my friends and family!! (even though they were already asking to get married there DURING my wedding!!)

From start to finish, I can't say enough amazing things about IMF! It was truly one of the easiest and best decisions we ever made. Once we stepped foot on the property we were blown away by how beautiful the barn and ceremony site were. Not only does IMF have air conditioning, but they have back up rain plan for the outside ceremonies. There are so many small, beautiful touches about this place that sets it apart from the other barns out there.

Leah, the IMF Coordinator, went ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations. Not only was she prompt and professional, but she answered every one of my million questions thoroughly. She posts each wedding at Irons Mill on their Instagram stories, which allowed me to get idea and tips from other brides. On the day of, she was there timing my girls and I down the aisle perfectly, helping make us look our best during pictures, and making sure everything went as smoothly as possible. She is one in a million!

First- Leah is the best person to work with on your wedding day, she is sweet and loves love. She is calm and handles everything with grace. She was quick to respond throughout the entire process and made us feel important and special. Next- The venue itself is stunning. It literally takes your breath away. It’s beautiful and grand and magical. The outside is gorgeous for photography with so many options you don’t have to leave the property. The outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and was our first choice- however on our date it was 93 degrees and 98% humidity with frequent downpours, so we opted for inside and made that decision about a half hour before the ceremony and they hustled to make the space gorgeous and intimate and we loved it. It was a perfect day because of Leah and her staff at Irons Mill. Thank you a million times. You are the best at what you do.

Where do I even begin! Aside from the beauty of the property and the barn, when you are an Irons Mill bride, you have the pleasure of working with one of the sweetest people on earth. Meeting and working with Leah was our deciding factor when picking a venue. She was there throughout the entire planning process whether it was being available at any time of the day to answer a quick question or if I needed to schedule a phone call for her to help me work through something else. Having such an amazing coordinator made for a stress-free day! In terms of the property, the barn is very clean and up-to-date. You know the owners care about the property and their brides with the renovations and improvements you see year after year. The bridal suite was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in and made for such an easy day being right on the property. Our day was truly magical and whether attending as a guest or planning a wedding there yourself, this venue will leave a lasting impression. We cannot thank and recommend the Irons Mill staff enough!

Best decision of my life was to get married here! It was rustic, vintage, classic, and absolutely breathtaking! It was truly my fairy tale wedding! The ceremony site is beautiful, the two level barn for the cocktail hour and reception is stunning! The bridal suite to get ready in behind the barn, the campfire area, I could go on and on! Most beautiful barn wedding ever. I can't say enough good things!!! xoxo

Amazing amazing! If you're budget can allow get the upgrades! I didn't and I regret it! Trust leah she knows what she's doing! She's on top of her game so you don't have to worry. Also get the chiavari chairs!

For a beautiful and unique wedding experience, look no further.
Irons Mill Farmstead was the beautiful venue of our 9-9-2016 wedding. Planning was simplified by Leah the event coordinator-- who did an amazing job from beginning to end as well as fixing any unforseen disasters which we had:(Horrible storm and no power during our rehersal dinner) Leah and the owners of the venue worked extremely hard to salvage our event and make our wedding day extra special by adding in free upgrades etc...
We were sceptical on the fact this venue uses a single exclusive caterer. Well, dont worry one bit bc their food is absolutely AMAZING! (When Pete suggests the eggplant rollotini-Get it!)
Overall, we couldnt have chose a better venue for our special day. It was perfect and we are more than willing to recommend Irons Mill Farmstead to be the location of your special day.
* Thanks again Leah <3

My wife and I got married this August at Irons Mill. It truly is hard to describe what this place will forever mean to us. They took the time to add minor touches that made our day unforgettable. Leah, is a very prompt and professional individual whom truly takes the couples first. Everything from our first walk through, to the point we left as husband and wife we were treated with respect and our interests were preserved. We were one of the first couples to book this venue and we had paid for various upgrades, by the time our final walk through had arrived many of the upgrades were now included in what the barn provides. With no obligation to provide any further services Leah took it upon herself to offer us many complimentary additions which just made our wedding day that much more special!

We had our daughter's wedding at Irons Mill farmstead and and we were totally pleased with everything. It was great having a planner available at any time to help with decisions. They were very accommodating to special requests so that Lydia's day could be just how she wanted it. The caterer and the staff were so easy to work with and the special request menu was a big hit. Our guests raved about the food and the charm of the barn. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding. You won't be disappointed !

The barn was gorgeous!! Everything was beyond our expectations!!

This place was perfect. Leah was especially great and wanted us to have our wedding exactly how we wanted it. She was calm but managed the entire day so that we didn't have to worry about transitions or minor problems. The venue is beautiful; my husband and I were particularly pleased with the renovations that were completed between the time when we signed our contract (summer 2014) and our wedding date (May 2015). I really can't complain about anything. All of our guests had a wonderful time and said that the location was so unique and gorgeous. The kids played on the slides outside and people milled around on the expansive grounds when they weren't dancing or eating. I wouldn't change a thing.

My husband and I immediately fell in love the minute we saw the beautiful barn at Irons Mill Farmstead. I think the venue speaks for itself. It's the perfect setting for a romantic, rustic wedding.

The venue is absolutely beautiful and the wedding turned out great! There was a lot of communication issues where the event coordinator would not email back when I had questions, concerns or information to relay to her. I had given her all important information for the wedding on my end and had several questions months ahead of time. We then got an email from her 5 days before the wedding with questions that I had answered in those emails from 3-6 months prior and stating that we owed more money when I asked her after we sent in our final check. This made the last week very very stressful. Like I said, the venue was beautiful and made up for it all.

I’ll start with the pros. The venue is beautiful, and the coordinator Leah is very kind and helpful. They let us have our 10 person ceremony in the summer of 2020 and allowed us to postpone to April 2021.

As April 2021 is getting closer, we realized that having a large 200 person reception was neither responsible nor legally allowed in the state of PA. I reached out to Leah with my concerns, asking for available dates to postpone to later in 2021. Leah let me know that they are not actually restricting the guest count, even though it is legally required by PA Covid guidelines, and because of that I could not get any money back. She gave me 2 Sunday dates at a time as postponement options. I was running around like crazy contacting all other vendors each time she gave me 2 new dates. I finally asked for ALL available 2021 dates, and she sent over a few more Sundays. No date worked for all of the vendors that we already had deposits with, and we were not comfortable finding new vendors and putting down new deposits with such uncertainty with how Covid would progress. I let Leah know we would be cancelling as April was just not a responsible (or legal) option for us, and none of the Sundays that she provided worked for our vendors. We were exhausted and discouraged. After cancelling all vendors, she sent me a few Friday dates and 1 Saturday date that had also been open that she did not previously provide me. This was frustrating as I had contacted her more than a few times asking for ALL available dates. I understand they allowed us to move the reception once already, but as stated before, it is not legally acceptable to have 200 guests in PA, even though Irons Mill is NOT limiting guest counts. So because they have decided to not follow the Covid requirements in PA, we did not receive any of the $6000 back that we paid in full before our summer 2020 ceremony. I have friends who are also getting married in early 2021 in PA who’s venues have given them a full refund due to the state regulations against large gatherings.

Maybe in a few years when Covid is not a primary concern, this venue would be perfect. But I would advise against booking them in 2021-2022 while there is still uncertainty. We lost our dream wedding and $6000 with this venue. All other vendors were reasonable and provided at least partial refunds, even if the contracts stated that the payments were non-refundable, because they realize that we have no control over this situation and the state of PA is not currently allowing large gatherings.

I was maid of honor at my cousin's wedding. We were very excited and so pleased to be having her wedding at such a beautiful venue. It was everything she wanted and more, and certainly was (for the most part) worth the money. The catering was outstanding; probably the best wedding food I have ever had. Unfortunately, the owner, Stacey, and the employee working the wedding, Amanda, caused many problems beginning at the rehearsal and going throughout the wedding. At the rehearsal, we were approached about our music being "too loud" and that the neighbors would call the cops if we did not turn it down. The music certainly was not as loud as it could have been, and I explained to her that the bride did not want speakers in her pictures for the ceremony. Standing up where the bride and groom were to get married, the music was at the perfect volume for everyone to hear. We were not informed of the noise ordinance while looking at the venue. When I talked to the owner, she told me she was a "neighbor". She never told me she was the owner. Come the wedding day, the FATHER OF THE BRIDE was approached by Amanda AFTER WALKING DOWN THE AISLE that the music needed to be turned down. No congratulations? Just a complaint? We were not treated with respect. It ruined the days leading up and added stress that was not needed. After approaching the owner days after the wedding, she said that there was nothing she could do for us. The venue certainly was not inexpensive, paying for a fire, nachos and root beer floats, which was an add on. I am extremely disappointed in how this situation was handled. If you are looking for a wedding venue, there are many similar to this one who will actually respect their customers.
