Wild Raspberry Celebrations - Carlton, Pennsylvania

I cannot express enough how incredible this venue is. I got married here September 18th, 2021, and not only was it every bit as beautiful as I had always imagined my wedding to be, but the entire experience - from the first tour to the next day cleanup (that's right future brides - next day cleanup!!) - was a breeze. If you are looking for an outdoor venue for your wedding or other event, I highly recommend Wild Raspberry!

My husband and I found the owners easy to work with, understanding, and all around wonderful people. They get invested in their couples - they get to know you in order to make sure your day is everything you want it to be. I don't understand the reviews on here speaking negatively about noise complaints; you can see from my attached copy of the contract (which I still have for no reason other than meticulous organization and filing), you are clearly informed of the noise policies - which are super reasonable! We were able to party and dance and have the time of our lives without one noise complaint, so unless you're looking to host a rave or something, it's no issue at all.

I've read through the terrible reviews on here, and it's clear it was one sour experience from one sour bride's wedding. So take it from another bride - this venue is the one you've been looking for. It's breathtaking, unique, whimsical, and truly special. I've attached a few other photos from our wedding that showcase just a small fraction of the natural beauty we were able to find at this venue. You truly have to see it for yourself!!

Where to begin. Diana and Ralph have a beautiful venue tucked away in the perfect location. You can tell from the second you drive up that they put so much thought into every little detail. It is full of country hospitality and cute rustic charm. I felt incredibly comfortable and at home here. They are the most wonderful hosts and are incredibly helpful throughout the entire event. They are knowledgeable and go the extra mile to make your big day run flawless from start to finish. We had the picture perfect wedding here. All of our guests were happy, from young to old and we all have so many memories to cherish. The dance floor is stunning! The reception area is roomy with plenty of seating and so beautiful. There are so many places to get the perfect wedding photos, with different props set up throughout the property and a number of different spots on the property to have your vow ceremony. We had a handicap family member and he was able to navigate in his wheelchair with ease.
We were all so happy with how perfect our wedding turned out we decided to book the venue a second time for our Grandmothers 90th birthday party. The venue accommodated all our guests for both events perfectly.
If I could give a 100 star review I would. We could not have found a better venue and owners to work with.

We had our wedding here in August of 2021 and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The price was a perfect fit for our budget. From start to finish, Diana was a huge help every step of the way and our dream wedding couldn’t have went any smoother! The venue is an absolute gem with many locations for beautiful photos. We were able to have our guests stay in the campground next door. I highly recommend checking it out!!!!

This venue and the owners are absolutely amazing! My brother and sister-in-law had the most incredible wedding here in September 2021 and could not have been happier with the outcome on their big day. I don’t understand the negative reviews (especially noise complaints since the policy is CLEARLY stated in the contract!) because Diana was more than helpful and accommodating and deserves some serious recognition. Wild Raspberry Celebrations is a delightful venue for hosting a wedding!

I attended a wedding in September of 2022. The venue was absolutely beautiful, however that doesn’t justify the fact of the owners and their attitudes. The fact that the owner Diane was talking the way she was behind the brides back was sad. I not only have it on video but also have 2 others that were apart of the wedding have it on video as well.
She started talking bad about the bride saying “ if she would of done it this way it would be nicer” “glad she paid us, alls she’s good for is the money” when trying to focus on the bride and doing the bride’s pictures all I could think about is how rude, no reason to talk bad upon her.
Ending the night the owners were on their side by side just sitting this was around 8 pm they still had 2 hours left of the day wedding area. Kept watching, I even heard Diane say that the brides dress was ugly I didn’t make a scene because it’s not my wedding. Still absolutely uncalled for being a “business” owner. I have another wedding next year I’m doing there and I hope to god her behavior changes because I could never have a wedding there hearing the nasty comments she said.
Then I look at these reviews and see why others have wanted to stay away.

Very lovely place. The owners seemed very nice and easy to talk to. There is a cute campground there also. The wedding venue was very nice and well planned out.

Hmmm, it looks like one cranky bride and groom got a bunch of people to leave bad reviews when apparently they didn't read their contract with the business... I think this is unfair and almost certainly undeserved. I attended a wedding here on the weekend following the one they left reviews for... The venue and grounds were gorgeous (and the weather was perfect, thankfully!), cute eclectic chairs and decor inside the venue, the dance floor was great fun, and the bathrooms and bride suite were clean. I interacted with the female owner once or twice and she was lovely. If I were planning a wedding in PA, I would seriously consider this venue!

We have had a couple of events at this venue. My sisters wedding and my Grandmothers 90th Birthday celebration.
Diana and Ralph went above and beyond at both events. They truly care about your event and want everything to be perfect for your special day.
I would book the venue again in a heartbeat.
It’s a beautiful mix of country rustic charm.
5 Stars isn’t enough. 100000 stars is more suited for this wonderful event venue with even more wonderful host!
