  Springwood Manor is a renovated century-old stone estate set on wooded hills just outside Pittsburgh in Verona, Pennsylvania.

A three-year renovation transformed the property into the event venue it is now, framed by Japanese larch, maples, pin oak, chestnut, holly, copper beech, and bamboo. The Manor hosts indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies, receptions, and corporate events for up to 270 guests. Ceremony sites include Garden Square, with its pergola and separate entrances for the bridal party; the Stone Patio; the Gazebo nestled among the trees; and the Glass Atrium, used for winter ceremonies. The vaulted-ceiling Pavilion, with its scissor trusses and chandeliers, serves as both a reception space for music and dancing and the venue's rain plan. A wooden, three-tier rear deck wraps the back of the stone house and connects to the surrounding grounds. Receptions include an on-site event manager, in-house chef and wait staff, full catering, and access to the entire facility—Manor House, Atrium, Pavilion, Rear Deck, and grounds—with no facility fee for events of 100 or more guests. The same grounds and structures also host business meetings, corporate retreats, and holiday parties.

  • 2 Outdoor Spaces
  • 4 Total Spaces

  The Lodge at Mountain Springs Lake traces its roots to a jewel of a spring-fed lake discovered more than 75 years ago while hiking Big Pocono, a find that grew into Mountain Springs Lake Resort and, within it, the historic inn known as The Lodge. By the 1980s, The Lodge had become a favorite fine dining spot in the Poconos, and the addition of The Verandah in the early 2000s carried that same culinary attention into wedding and event hosting. The property remains family-run by successive generations of the Rader family. Today The Lodge hosts one wedding at a time, so each celebration has exclusive use of the grounds. Ceremonies can take place under a handcrafted wooden pergola by the pond or lakeside along Mountain Springs Lake's private, spring-fed waters, with receptions of up to 200 guests held in The Verandah, where floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the pond and bring the outdoors in on rainy days. The Orchard & Fire Pit, a fenced outdoor gathering space with a stone fire pit and covered pavilion seating for 65, is also available for welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or after-hours gatherings. Wedding packages are all-inclusive, with catering prepared on-site by The Lodge's in-house culinary team, dedicated event coordination, and access to the Carriage House and Gathering Suite for wedding-party preparation.

  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.
