From the reviews
Historic Acres is stunning and was everything we wanted for our wedding venue. The staff is so kind and so quick to communicate. Katie was amazing and gave us to much advice throughout the wedding planning process. We loved having our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception locations all so close together.
A great wedding venue! It is fairly spacious, and they did an excellent job with the layout so that it feels even more so. Beautiful foliage and rustic buildings on the property make you forget that you're actually near a sizeable town. The proximity to Hershey provides convenient hotels, shopping, and activities.
Such a stunning and breathtaking venue. It had everything we were looking for and so much more. It has so much naturally beauty that we went pretty minimally on our decor because of it. We had the pleasure of working the Katie and Melodie and they were an absolute pleasure to work with.
Outstanding wedding venue with phenomenal views. A very open dining area and large patio for cocktails. Staff was excellent
Getting married at Historic Acres of Hershey PA
Historic Acres of Hershey PA comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Historic Acres of Hershey PA
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Historic Acres of Hershey PA — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
