My husband and I got married on July 25th at Rock Ford Plantation, while we had an AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL day...Rock Ford was a very hard company to work with. We hired Rock Ford 1 year out from our original date (April 4th-had to be moved due to COVID) and within that year gone through 3 rental coordinators. We had very little communication and did not even know our first rental coordinator was no longer there until I had a few questions! Unfortunately, communication was lacking on their end and it caused a very stressful time especially when it came down to have to reschedule our wedding. Be warned, that when they say rental coordinator, they coordinator, does not coordinate ANYTHING but sign the contract. Our last coordinator was not even there the weekend of our wedding. Again we had an amazing and beautiful wedding but if I could do it again, it would not have been with Rock Ford Plantation. Thank you to Sam though who made things right and tried to communicate with me when the coo... Read morerdinators would not respond.

I can't say enough about Rock Ford. We are a gay couple, living in a very conservative Lancaster County. From the moment we met Meagen, we felt comfortable being us. We didn't have to change who we were. Being two guys, not knowing anything about weddings or how to do the wedding, Meagen helped us from step 1 till the final step. The site was gorgeous, lots of wild deer, cool history and house. This site was way more affordable then the other competitors out there and definitely worth every penny.

The Rock Ford is a beautiful place to have a wedding! There are so many places for great photos and the barn is very nice inside. The Rental Coordinator, Meagen, is wonderful to work with. She went out of her way before and during the wedding to make sure everything went great! I would definitely recommend Rock Ford!

This is a perfect place for a wedding. It is absolutely beautiful. We had the ceremony in front of the house, and there were deer watching in the background. We had our reception in the barn, and got the tent outside for dancing and cocktails. This is a DIY venue, and I'm so glad I chose it because I was able to make the wedding everything I wanted it to be. Nancy was wonderful to work with. She was great at keeping in touch and quick to answer any questions. You get the venue for the entire weekend which made setting up much less stressful, and clean up could wait until Sunday! Every one of my guests commented that this was the perfect place for a wedding!

My wedding at the Rock Ford Plantation was absolutely wonderful! Nancy was great in responding to me about all of my questions in a very quick and professional manner. The property is so nice and well maintained. All of my guests said the property and decorations matched the personalities of myself and my husband. We even had people dressed in costumes from the 1700s to match the history of the Rock Ford. It was perfect! Thank you Nancy and the Rock Ford staff!

If you are looking to customize every detail of your wedding, definitely take a look at Rock Ford! We were on a tight budget, and though the venue took up the biggest chunk of that budget, we were able to pick every other vendor and detail of our wedding, and DIYed most of it! Nancy was very helpful in answering all of our questions, and making sure she could accommodate all of our requests to the best of her ability. Though some of our older family members had some trouble getting around the property and using the tight restrooms, everyone raved about how beautiful and unique the venue was. Being able to set up the day before and tear down the day after our wedding was an invaluable option, and we used every minute of that time to transform the barn and tent to our liking. This venue was perfect for us, because we were looking to save some money by planning and decorating everything ourselves, and we wanted the flexibility to make it unique to us, but if you aren't willing to take on ...

What a perfect place for a wedding!! The venue provided tables and chairs, they aloud ample time for set up and take down, without all the restrictions of many of the other venues. The staff (Nancy) is there if needed but aloud me to function without her hovering over my every move. If you are planning a DIY/Pinterest type wedding this place is for you.

We had our wedding at Rock Ford Plantation on 9/28/13. We fell in love with Rock Ford on our very first visit. The barn, the grounds, and the historic house were just gorgeous, we knew it would be perfect for us. Nancy was always very approachable and answered any questions we had within a day or two. She does not use email, however, she would ALWAYS return calls within a few hours to one day. The grounds keeper Brian, who we met the day of, always was very kind, and definitely kept everything clean, the grass well cut, and was a very professional parking attendant. We had a simply perfect day. Our ceremony was in front of the house. We used the barn for our buffet, bar, and more of a hangout room during the cocktail hour and reception. And we had a tent for the reception. Everyone gave us a million compliments and also loved it as much as we did. My only one complaint is that since it is within a park, there may be other people on the grounds. Prior to our wedding, there we... Read morere excavations. So there were a couple of areas on the grounds that were dug up and covered with a tarp. That would have been my only complaint. However, the people left before the ceremony, and everything else was just so wonderful. Lastly, compared to other sites, especially closer to Philly, they are very affordable. They also allow you to start decorating Friday before the wedding, and clean up Sunday morning. That was very nice to have the whole weekend.

We just had our wedding here on 5/17/14 and I couldn't have been happier with our experience at Rock Ford. It is one of the more affordable places in Lancaster and it is so beautiful there. It's also very private since you have use of the whole grounds. It was so great to be able to set up on Friday and clean up on Sunday. It made our wedding day so much more enjoyable knowing we didn't have to rush everyone out at night so we could clean up. While it is a lot of work to set everything up and coordinate all of the vendors, it was definitely worth it. We saved a ton of money on the alcohol alone since we could supply our own and not have to buy it from the venue, which probably saved us a few thousand. No one at our wedding had ever been there before as most were from out of the area, but we got so many compliments. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how great it was there. Nancy is also very responsive through email or phone. And she is always willing to show you the barn wh... Read moreenever you need to see it for planning. I highly recommend Rock Ford!
