Rustic Forest Wedding Venue in Pennsylvania Weekend Weddings
Say “I Do” Where Nature Whispers and Love Echoes
Rustic Weekend Wedding Venue in the Forest Along the River| + Lodging Included
There’s a moment at every Pump House wedding when time seems to pause.
The sun filters through the canopy. The gentle rush of the creek plays in the background. Your partner’s hand finds yours. The guests fall silent—not out of formality, but awe. In that moment, the forest holds its breath with you, and love stands still.
This is the magic of Pump House.
Nestled in 85 acres of lush Pennsylvania forest, along the winding Catawissa Creek, the Pump House isn’t just a venue—it’s a refuge, a retreat, and a romantic getaway that wraps your wedding in warmth, soul, and deep natural beauty.
Forest Weddings with Heart
We offer so much more than a ceremony spot. Here, your wedding becomes a full three-day experience that lingers in your guests' hearts long after the last dance.
Imagine this:
You arrive Friday to decorate, unwind, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.
Friday evening, after rehearsal and enjoying your rehearsal dinner, gathering around a crackling fire with loved ones, stars twinkling above.
On Saturday, you wake up to a homemade breakfast—eggs from our hens, veggies from our garden—prepared by Lisa, our garden goddess and breakfast magician.
You get ready in a private suite filled with light, art, and peace.
You walk to a quiet woodland glade, your “chapel in the woods,” where the creek hums your procession.
That evening, under glowing lights in our Industrial Brick Hall, you dance barefoot, clink glasses, and laugh until your cheeks ache.
Sunday brunch is your final gift to guests—a slow, sweet goodbye.
