Bed and Breakfast Wedding Venues: Best Weekend Experiences
Reserve our entire property and have the wedding of your dreams
Imagine an entire weekend where everyone you love is under one roof, the mountains stretching out around you, and your only job is to be present for every joy-filled moment. That’s what a wedding weekend at The South Mountain Inn feels like: a relaxed, all-inclusive wedding experience at one of the most charming bed and breakfast wedding venues in Pennsylvania, designed so you can actually savor your celebration.
A Stunning Wedding Destination in the Countryside
Perched on South Mountain above Wernersville, The South Mountain Inn is a historic yet beautifully refreshed B&B surrounded by lawns, gardens, and long-range valley views. With ceremony and reception spaces tucked into the landscape, you get the feel of a countryside wedding destination without asking guests to travel to the middle of nowhere.
As one of the most unique Bed and Breakfast wedding venues in Pennsylvania, the Inn is ideal for intimate celebrations and micro-weddings. Ten thoughtfully appointed guest rooms, each with a private en-suite bath, accommodate up to approximately two dozen guests on-site, transforming your wedding from a single day into a shared weekend retreat.
Outside, ceremony chairs can be set on the lawn with a mountain view as your backdrop, or you can opt for a tented or covered celebration with twinkling lights and space for dining and dancing for up to 115 guests.
All of this makes The South Mountain Inn a dream choice if you’re searching for wedding venues in Pennsylvania that feel like a destination wedding without the hassle and expense of air travel. We can’t wait to share in this special day with you!
Your Wedding Weekend Timeline at The South Mountain Inn
Friday: Arrival, Check-In & Welcome
For full-weekend celebrations, exclusive use of the Inn and grounds typically begins at 3:00 pm on Friday. Guests arrive for fresh mountain air, warm hospitality, and the feeling that they’ve just checked into a private countryside wedding destination created just for them.
Your wedding party and closest family settle into their rooms: unpacking dresses and suits, chilling champagne, and exploring the property. Some wander the lawns, others find a rocker on the porch, and a few head down to meet the inn’s resident miniature donkeys for a sweet photo-op.
As evening approaches, you might host a rehearsal and welcome party on the patio, a relaxed catered dinner or food truck feast, or just a casual evening with lawn games and s’mores near the fire pit
Saturday: Morning of the Big Day
Wake up to freshly brewed coffee and a homemade breakfast, shared around the dining tables with your favorite people. The pace stays gentle: no shuttle schedules, no racing across town.
Morning might unfold like this:
- Your attendants rotate through on-site massages or chair massages, an incredible gift to thank them for standing by your side.
- A private yoga class on the lawn helps ground you before the ceremony.
- Friends explore nearby trails while vendors set up under the tent or on the terrace. We take care of all the details, so you can relax and get ready at one of the best wedding venues in PA.
The Main Event!
Hair and makeup take over one of the common rooms, while another becomes the “grooms’ lounge” for tying bow ties and practicing speeches. Because you’re in one of the most thoughtfully designed Bed and Breakfast wedding venues in Pennsylvania, every corner feels photogenic: staircases, cozy nooks, and sunlit windows turn even candid moments into gallery-worthy images.
In the afternoon, your wedding ceremony begins. Guests find their seats on the lawn, framed by trees and distant hills. The bride walks down a natural aisle toward an arbor, overlooking the valley.
After the ceremony, cocktail hour flows into dinner under the tent or on the patio, followed by dancing under the stars. It’s everything you’d want in a countryside wedding destination: elegant but easy!
Sunday: Farewell & Check-Out
The next morning, a leisurely breakfast turns into a farewell party. Guests share stories from the night before, pass around phones full of photos, and relax over coffee.
By 11:00 am, checkout time arrives, but instead of feeling rushed, it feels like the natural close to a weekend that was intentionally unhurried from the start.
You’re wrapping up a weekend that brought your favorite people together in one place, sharing meals, excellent conversations, and memorable moments.
All-Inclusive Wedding Packages & On-Site Lodging
As one of the best wedding venues in Berks County, The South Mountain Inn offers all-inclusive wedding packages that keep things simple and transparent. Packages range from intimate ceremonies to full-weekend celebrations with exclusive use of the property and overnight lodging. Essentials like tables, chairs, linens, and tenting options are included, so you’re not juggling multiple rental orders or surprise fees.
If you’re envisioning a relaxed destination wedding that still feels close to home, this is one of those rare Pennsylvania wedding venues with lodging where everything, ceremony, reception, and overnight stay, flows together seamlessly.
Experiences for Your Wedding Party
Not all wedding venues in Pennsylvania are the same, and one of the sweetest perks of choosing an all-inclusive package at The South Mountain Inn is how easily you can incorporate memorable experiences and add-ons for the people who mean the most to you. Instead of trinkets that get left behind, consider gifting moments they’ll talk about for years:
Guided Hike at Blue Marsh Lake
Arrange a guided hike on nearby trails, complete with a local expert to lead the way and share stories about the region. It’s a perfect pre-wedding outing for your wedding party, combining fresh air, scenic overlooks, and shared time away from screens.
Paddle & Picnic Experience
Surprise your attendants with stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking on the lake, followed by a relaxed picnic lunch. This is a fantastic option for destination wedding groups who want a mini adventure built right into the weekend.
Private Group Yoga
Book a private yoga class tailored to your group: choose from gentle stretching for relaxation or an energizing flow to start your day. It’s especially meaningful the morning of the wedding, when a shared hour of quiet can calm nerves and create a connection.
On-Site Massages
Treat your attendants (or parents) to massages at the inn. It’s a luxurious “thank you” that doesn’t require anyone to leave the property, and it fits beautifully into the slow-paced feel of an all-inclusive wedding venue weekend.
