Ashley K.We had our reception at Bluestone. Erin was an absolute joy to work with. She was flexible and was there for anything we needed. They took such great care of us, it felt almost as if they were a part of our family. Customer Service is their middle name. They have breathtaking architecture and landscaping; we were able to get all of our photos done on the property.
This was so convenient for us, as we wanted to join our guests at cocktail hour, and we were able to simply walk on over after photos! Easily the best venue in the Lancaster, PA area, in every sense. Thank you, Erin and team, for allowing us to host our special day in your space.Jennifer R.Stunning Venue!!!! Can not say enough about the beautiful Estate.
