Venue Details:

Want exclusive access to one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the Laurel Highlands without the stress and planning of a large traditional wedding? This elopement package offers you the opportunity to conduct your ceremony on the private oasis of Fernstone Retreat, nestled on 450 beautiful acres. The private property features a breathtaking hand-hewn Grand Oak Pavilion, rustic lanterns, an onsite waterfall, wooden foot bridge that makes a great photo opportunity, two stocked fishing ponds, miles of hiking trails that adorn the property, and an overall sense of whimsy that can’t be artificially procured.

Say your “I do” creekside and hold an intimate celebration afterwards in the Grand Oak Pavilion, with up to 20 guests. You can extend your stay and add onto this package to create an onsite honeymoon! Choose to cozy up in one of two unique tree houses, or a one-of-a-kind hobbit house, for a few days of post marital bliss. You can also choose to include your guests in the post elopement celebration, as Fernstone Retreat offers some of our most unique lodging accommodations which offer access to a pool, hot tubs, and firepits.
