I booked Lakeview for my ceremony and reception venue. Deb and Joanne were absolutely wonderful to work with! Anytime I emailed Deb with a question I had an answer by the next day. Joanne answered all of questions via text messaging almost instantly no matter how many times I had already asked the same question. They were both fun and easy to work with. I'd categorize Deb and Joanne as relaxed professionals. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about their venue and what items/decor work where. Lakeview also had all of the necessary things I was looking for: a bridal suite, a groom's room, indoor restrooms, a water source I could access and plenty of space. For my dessert, the Dallastown Historical Society provided waffles and ice cream and Lakeview accommodated them in the corn barn. This was a great option because the Historical Society needed their own space for their appliances and they were under cover in case it rained. Lakeview was the perfect fit for my husband and I. We th... Read moreought it was a beautiful property and we couldn't have asked for more personable people to work with!

Wonderful venue! Deb and JoAnne were so helpful! Definitely recommend! Guests loved it!

Lakeview is a hidden gem in York County especially if you are looking for a country wedding. The property is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained and the staff is friendly and responsive. They were very helpful with all the steps of planning and we couldn’t have been happier with choosing this venue!! Highly recommend them!!

This venue is so gorgeous. If the weather allows, I highly recommend using the ceremony site overlooking the pond. They have an awesome set of old doors that add a great effect to the wedding. We had a scheduling issue with the place that we wanted to have our rehearsal dinner and Lakeview was really accommodating to work something out so we could hold it there. The day of was super easy. We paid extra for a day-of coordinator and it was really helpful. We actually started the ceremony right on time, which I've heard is not very common. Everything flowed really well that day and any hiccups that were encountered were taken care of quickly.

You need to book really far in advance!

Lakeview Farms Events was perfect for our special day! My husband and I looked at only two venues for our wedding and I knew right away that this was the place. This venue books up very quickly and we were lucky enough that they had one date that worked for us! I'm not much of a planner so I love the fact that the owner allowed us to decorate Thursday evening, Friday for the majority of the day and have the event on a Saturday. She even gave us the option to clean up on Sunday. The property offered some fantastic scenery for photos! Everyone I talk to says how much they loved the venue! Deb and her team was very helpful during the wedding! Thank you! Ashley and Dan

My daughters wedding was 09/28/13 at Lakeview. The property is absolutely beautiful!! Deb and her staff are very helpful and friendly. We had 150 guests, the ceremony was in front of their beautiful home and the barn accommodated our guests with plenty of room for dancing. We worked with Dawn on our day and she was wonderful! The property and barn are so beautiful there really isn't need for much decorating. Our caterer, Sir D's Catering, provided a wonderful picnic style buffet and the staff at Lakeview worked well with them to be sure that everything was just right. The cocktail area behind the barn is perfect!! Lakeview even has their own "corn hole" boards for you to use. Lakeview truly is different from the rest!!

I absolutely loved working with Deb! You are able to have the location for two days before wedding to decorate the barn to your needs! Very flexible and accommodating! The barn was able to fit over 250 guests and had such a beautiful scenery all around the land! We even were able to haw a tractor ride for the bridal party! The price was a great price as well!

Loved this place. It was beautiful and it was easy. They did everything they could to make our day perfect! Definitely recommend!

The staff at Lakeview Farms is amazing. Let me just say, the property and the barn are gorgeous! There are so many places for great photo shoots. This venue is totally for a DIYer, but they do already have a lot of "rustic country" decor already there. Our wedding happened inside, last minute, and it was still so beautiful. We hired Danielle as our day of coordinator which was the best decision ever. Our day was rather rainy and she was the personal golf cart chauffeur. Her and Deb were just so helpful throughout the entire process. (Thank you guys so much) I also recommend getting the photobooth add on, our guests are still talking about that!

We looked at many different venues in York County to finally find one that we loved. The venue itself is gorgeous and is beautiful for pictures and the staff that were there for the day were wonderful! I had Dawn, who was so helpful when I came by on the Saturday mornings to look at the day of wedding's decorations. The bridal suite is only to be used for getting ready, not for hair/makeup which I didn't know before a couple of weeks before my wedding-so I had to rearrange all of my plans for the day of which was very upsetting. We booked Lakeview years in advance for a Saturday wedding. We would have loved to have the option of a Sunday wedding, but that was not available when we booked our date. Unfortunately for us there was a Sunday wedding the weekend of our wedding that we booked years in advance for, that we did not know about until I stumbled upon it on their website schedule. Every time I brought up my concerns of the Sunday wedding, the staff just blew it off. I used to say... Read more that the venue was one of my favorite parts of my wedding, but I believe they are starting to not care about the brides and the wedding day the way they used to when I originally booked my wedding. I won't be surprised if Sunday weddings become an every weekend thing for them and if they start to have Friday weddings too.

Lakeview was the only venue we looked at when booking our wedding. I knew that it was the place the first time we visited before going to look to book. When we did, there were only 2 dates left for 2015 and it was March of 2014. It is definitely THE place. It is absolutely beautiful and honestly would be amazing with no decorations. The barn doors stay closed until the time of the reception so you have that 'wow' factor. For me, it was the most important detail of the day and was worth every penny. They have staff available the entire day of the wedding which was very helpful.

We had the opportunity to have our wedding at Lakeview Farms!!! The venue is breath-takingly spectacular. There isn't even one single picture that can even capture how beautiful the venue actually is (but we have absolutely awesome pictures)!!!! Words can't describe how beautiful our ceremony and reception were!!!! We had our ceremony overlooking the pasture and lake. Our reception was held in the barn and comfortably accomodated approx 150 guests. Having the opportunity to set up thurs evening and all day friday really allowed us to add our personal details to make our day exactly what we hoped for. It is evident Deb is eager to help and accomdate her brides to make their day special. We did wish the communication was slightly better as we ended up renting items through our caterer that she had already purchased throughout the year and then had available for us to rent/use through her. However, we understand, being a new venue this was something we may have ran into. Overall, we were ... Read moreexceptionally pleased with our day!!!! Dawn was very sweet and super helpful. Her husband ran our tractor ride and he was cool too!!! Our guests continue to talk about how beautiful our day was!! Truely, because of Lakeview Farms, our wedding day was a fairytail I will never forget!!! Thank you

We booked the venue the day we saw it in person 2 years in advance. The owner, Deb, is great. We also had a day of coordinator, Danielle, that was equally as friendly and accommodating (seriously helped calm my nerves when rain clouds came rolling in just before the ceremony). You are allowed to set up the thursday and friday before your big day and have sunday available to tear down. I was so grateful to be able to have the access to the venue prior to let me nerves calm down. Overall, it was affordable, flexible, and beyond beautiful. Many of our guests told us that it was the most gorgeous and romantic setting for a wedding that they had ever been to. I loved that I could choose my own vendors! Catering, flowers, DJ, photographer, you name it. Deb does provide suggestions of who has worked the venue before. We rented the candles for the day in the barn which I highly recommend, and the photo booth that doubled as our guestbook is one of my favorite things I was able to take away fro... Read morem the day! It is $400 for 2hrs to rent the booth and $150 for all flame-less candles with holders. The only downside was that while Deb was out of town, some of the staff, who we had never seen before, did snap at us and the wedding party the day before and day of for things we weren't aware we weren't allowed to do. I didn't expect to hear that a woman working the day of yelled at a groomsman saying that they're things would be thrown out of the groomsmen area and door would be locked behind them for smelling smoke (designated smoke area is right outside of groomsmen loft). I was also told a staff member was going through their bags. However, it's a typical group of rowdy groomsmen, so take this warning with a grain of salt - staff may have needed to do this!! I'll never know for sure. I was too focused on enjoying my wedding day! Overall, I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect romantic & rustic setting for their wedding. You won't regret it!!
