We booked Bush House Estate for our wedding from a distance--COVID cases were high when we started planning and we did not want to travel. Carmen went above and beyond to communicate with us remotely, even doing a video tour of the site. Our wedding there was perfect. The outdoor ceremony site is so beautiful, and the gardens provide a perfect backdrop for pictures. The house is lovely and unique as well. My husband and I greatly enjoyed staying there for the weekend of our wedding. We absolutely recommend Bush House for events.

The Bush House Estate was the perfect venue for our June wedding! We wanted something with outdoor space and lots of green that also had access to indoor accommodations. The location is ideal - close to Williamsport, where everyone stayed, next to shopping options for last-minute necessities, and hidden in a gorgeous grove of trees that make it feel private, despite being across the street from Target. We did our ceremony on the steps and cocktail hour on the beautiful patio/garden area, and each area feels elegant and special. Carmen has done a lot of work to keep the historic charm of the house while modernizing other aspects (like plumbing!) for comfort. The reception tent was awesome - large, close to the house, with pretty chandeliers and string lights that were a beautiful backdrop for our own decorations. There is a smooth cement floor in the tent that worked well for dancing. We had about 100 guests - there was plenty of parking on-site, and the tent felt appropriately full without being crowded.Carmen was a great host. During the planning process, she was clear in her expectations of client responsibility (for things like insurance, alcohol rules, setup/cleanup). She made sure to check in with us for final logistics about a month before our event and answered our (many) questions promptly all the way up to the big day. We were given access to the venue the day before, which made prep and setup much less stressful. On the day of the event, I only saw Carmen once or twice because she was handling things like vendor check-in/set-up, which let us and our parties focus on getting ready!Overall, it was exactly the event that we had hoped to have. Beautiful, comfortable, joyful, and much easier than we expected. Everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you to Carmen and the Bush House!

I feel like no words are good enough to even begin to describe how amazing Bush House Estate was and how great Carmen was to work with! After having some issues finding a wedding venue only a few months before our wedding, I reached out to Carmen to see if she had our wedding date available, knowing it would be a long shot. She only had two dates available, and one of them was our original wedding day we had picked. I was in awe watching throughout the planning process how everything came together and we couldn’t have done it without Carmen and her venue. It is absolutely stunning and was everything I wanted for my wedding day. She was easy to work with, organized and made everything I mentioned to her happen. I had compete trust in her and her team and I was able to sit back and enjoy the whole day knowing it was covered! I absolutely couldn’t recommend the Bush House more. Dream venue, dream day, and now memories to last a lifetime. A huge thank you!!!! Beyond humbled by this day.Photos by Antiquity Photography

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have chosen the Bush House Estate for our wedding day. The venue was absolutely breathtaking and everything I have ever dreamed about and more! So many of our guests still continue to rave about how beautiful and elegant our wedding was. Aside from the venue, Carmen was absolutely amazing to work with and went above and beyond for us! She was extremely helpful and worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect. We truly cannot thank her enough for making our day so special!

Working with Carmen throughout the process was a pleasure. From our initial planning meeting with our daughter and son in law, she made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic day. The venue is beautifully located within minutes of hotels, shopping, and anything you need but tucked away for an intimate beautiful wedding. All week we were concerned about rain for the outside wedding, and the day of it was touch and go up until the service. Carmen was extremely flexible up until the minute of the ceremony which allowed our daughter to have the service where she wanted. We didn't just rent a venue, but the support, knowledge, and expertise of a wedding planner who values the importance of the day! You can't go wrong hosting any event at the Bush House.

Wish I could rate more than 5 stars but that will have to do! We had our dream wedding at the Bush House on 9/3/22. From the first tour to our big day we were so impressed with the entire experience. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and was the perfect backdrop for our celebration of love. The garden and florals were perfectly maintained and in season. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and charming. There was so much history not only in the architecture but the curated antique pieces. Carmen was so helpful from start to finish and truly made sure that everything ran smoothly. She was so organized and helpful throughout the planning process. A month after our wedding day we continue to get compliments and rave reviews about how great the day was- especially how much everyone loved the venue. It is a true gem of the greater Williamsport area. With planning a big event there's always things you wish you did differently but choosing the Bush House was one of the best decisions we made. I highly recommend to anyone looking for their event needs!

Wonderful experience as a photographer working with the coordinator. She really knows what she is doing, which helped the whole team know what they were doing.

This was a very nice venue to attend a wedding at! Beautiful interior and exterior to the large home as well as the grounds. Classy spot with indoor and outdoor seating. A nice patio bar and a lovely green lawn. Worth the rental.
