  Tall Timber Barn is a rustic wedding and event venue set among the woods of Northeast Pennsylvania in Canadensis, part of a family-owned group of businesses that has grown well beyond its original barn.

  The Barn at Fallingwater

  Bear Run Nature Reserve, Mill Run, PA 15464, USA

  • Spaces for 50-200 Guests
  • 2 Barns
  • 2 Historic Spaces
  • 1 Tent

  The Barn at Fallingwater is a converted 1870s dairy barn set in the Laurel Highlands, surrounded by the woodlands of the Bear Run Nature Reserve and just minutes from Fallingwater and Ohiopyle State Park. Originally built into a hillside as a bank barn on Tissue Farm, the structure was expanded into a working dairy operation after Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. acquired the property in 1940. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy later took stewardship of the site, and a 2002 adaptive-reuse restoration by Pittsburgh architects Bohlin Cywinski Jackson preserved original details — including the gaps in the vertical siding once used for hay ventilation — while earning the building a silver LEED certification. Today the Barn hosts weddings, meetings, and private events across several distinct spaces. The Fireplace Room, once the farm's milking parlor, is an 1,800-square-foot space with a large stone fireplace, integrated audiovisual, and a retractable partition wall. The Threshing Room is a 3,200-square-foot seasonal space with restored timber-frame construction and large sliding barn doors that open onto tented outdoor space. A flagstone Courtyard with a wisteria-covered trellis suits cocktail hours and intimate ceremonies, while the nearby Farmhouse, built in 1870, offers a full kitchen and two bathrooms for wedding-party preparation. Couples booking the Barn can also arrange photography sessions on the grounds of Fallingwater itself.

Shady Elms Farm was launched in 2010 by Joelle and Alex Cowden, who renovated the grounds with family and friends and held their own wedding there to officially open the venue.

The village opens several of its historic buildings and grounds for private events, including weddings, galas, fundraisers, birthday parties, corporate meetings, and photography sessions. The George Rapp Garden hosts garden ceremonies from mid-April through mid-October, while the Feast Hall, a communal dining and music space built in 1827 on the second floor of the Natural History Museum building, and the first floor of the five-story Granary barn offer indoor options for receptions and gatherings of varying sizes.

  Pump House Weddings and B&B occupies an 85-acre property along Catawissa Creek in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, built around 1878 as a pumping station for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline. Owner Doug spent more than two decades restoring the original foremen's houses and industrial brick buildings, and the property is one of the few in the country where both the foremen's homes and the large brick pump buildings still remain; the restoration was featured on This Old House in 2004. Two reception spaces occupy the historic buildings. The Brick Building, once home to the steam pumps that pressurized the pipeline, offers soaring ceilings and warehouse-style windows with a dance floor, and seats up to 170 guests for dinners and celebrations. The Studio, filled with handmade stained glass and paintings by Doug, is a more intimate space for rehearsal dinners, brunches, or receptions of up to 50. Outdoor ceremonies take place across the wooded grounds, including a "chapel in the woods," forest glades, and creek-side sites along the Catawissa. The property includes on-site lodging for roughly 23 guests across cabins, tiny houses, and suites, along with homemade breakfast service and more than three miles of hiking trails. The venue is solar-powered with EV charging stations, and couples can draw on a network of local vendors for catering, photography, flowers, and music.
