My husband and I got married this past weekend and it could not have been more perfect. We knew we had stumbled upon something special when we visited the Nature Inn for the first time. Settled on top of a hill in Bald Eagle State Park, sits this 16 room inn with stunning views.||From our first inquiry, the wedding coordinator (Kashia) was extremely responsive and accommodating. Leading up to our wedding, Kashia ensured all details were in place. She assisted in finding the perfect spot to take photos and had an answer for any question that we had. Kashia is who all venue coordinators should strive to be. ||Upon arriving at the inn, our guests were blown away by the fact that we had the entire inn to our party for both Friday and Saturday night. The ability to have a weekend long celebration was one of a kind. The package we selected included the rehearsal dinner, breakfast and lunch for guests staying at the inn on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday morning. Kashia was extremely accommodating and worked with us to allow additional guests staying off site at the local Marriott in Lock Haven to join for both Friday night dinner and Sunday morning breakfast. As all of our guests traveled far to be apart of our special day, it was important that we were able to include them in the full celebration. ||Guests were also impressed by the beauty of the Nature Inn and the surrounding Bald Eagle State Park. We had many guests go fishing, kayaking, and hiking the morning of our event as the bridal party was getting ready! There are also golf courses 20 minutes away from the inn that guests enjoyed! | |Not only was the Nature Inn accommodating, but the food was exceptional! My husband and I received compliments all weekend on how amazing the food served by the Nature Inn was. We chose the Filet Carving Station as our main entree for the reception and guests said it was some of the best steak they've ever had. ||One great compliment that we received from our guests was the versatility of the reception. Inside in the lobby area was the dance floor (hire Alex from Mint DJ Events!), outside was a patio area where guests could eat and relax, and then further down is a fire place where guests could enjoy s'mores!

Read moreWe recently got married at the Nature Inn (April, 2022) and we would highly recommend this venue to anyone interested in an intimate and naturally beautiful setting for their wedding. We had such a positive experience working with the Nature Inn! There are so many things that we were grateful for, but we will highlight what really stood out to us:
Communication: The wedding coordinator, Kashia Quay, is fantastic to work with. She is attentive and communicative, answering our emails usually within hours. We were out of state during the wedding planning process, and she had multiple hour-long conversations with us to address all our questions and concerns as well as making suggestions to help our day run smoothly. Throughout these meetings, she was always organized and thorough and also so accommodating. She worked with our limited availability to get us into a tasting and made multiple last-minute changes regarding our rooming arrangements. In addition to her amazing aptitude, Kashia is also just a delight of a human!
Ease: Getting married here was surprisingly smooth! We have heard from many of our other friends getting married about the difficulties of coordinating vendor teams- rentals, catering, transportation, etc. At the Nature Inn, we loved that many of these items were covered by the venue. And what the Nature Inn didn’t do themselves, they helped us to find by recommending local and high-quality vendors. Not only did this make our vendor search easier, because the venue had worked with these vendors before, we experienced seamless integration on the wedding day.
Food and service: The food was fantastic! We loved all the different options. We opted to do the trending stations where we had soft pretzels, philly cheesesteaks, passed hors d’oeuvres (people raved about the mini beef wellingtons!), and salads. We also added in a cannoli station! It is worth highlighting that Kashia made this happen for us after we mentioned in passing we were interested in having cannolis during our tasting. This was so well done, we had two filling flavors and many toppings that the guests could make their own cannoli creation! Multiple people commented how great the food was and we thoroughly enjoyed it. They also were extremely accommodating with food restrictions for our guests.
Venue location: The Nature Inn is beautiful! The surrounding area is lovely and peaceful, allowing for great photo opportunities. We loved seeing all of the birds and our guests enjoyed exploring and hiking throughout the weekend. The Inn itself is lovely, the rooms are comfortable, and we appreciated the modern and sustainable architecture. We loved having the firepit both nights and we LOVED having...
