The scene:
Linwood Estate will inspire your love’s most breathtaking moments. Linwood Estate is nestled on 121 acres of Pennsylvania’s Great Appalachian Valley woodlands. Emerging as Pennsylvania’s premier destination wedding estate, Linwood offers multiple picturesque ceremony and reception locations – each complete with the quintessential scenes of the rolling Appalachian Mountain Range – sure to spark your head-over-heels-in-love affections with every turn. The sweeping North Lawn, ready for tents, or the gardens graced with an oasis of Grecian-style sculptures are ideal for exchanging vows, while iconic indoor locations vary from the 19th century Linwood Mansion – rich in historic charm and renovated with modern amenities – to the refined, barn-inspired Appalachian Ballroom fit for celebrating with 250 of your nearest and dearest.

Design:
Linwood Mansion glistens with elegant luminescence from over 40 crystal chandeliers inside - all original pieces from the previous owner, Linwood B. Phillips. The Cottage - our gentlemen's quarters - features a Ralph Lauren and lodge inspired interior showcasing a striking pair of wood engraved masculine fur throne chairs from Park City, Utah. We describe our Appalachian Ballroom as a barn-inspired ballroom due to the set of sliding handcrafted reclaimed wooden barn doors that slide open to a gorgeous ballroom of hardwood floors, elegant crystal chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling arch topped windows. Not to mention the beauty of the Norfolk Overlook - our covered deck that allows guests to take in the stunning Appalachian Mountain Range scenery.

Weddings
A Garden Labyrinth & GIlded Chandliers are Giving us Allll the Vintage Feels at a Storied Estate in Pennsylvania
Just the other week we spoke with photographer Lauren Fair about a stunning wedding she captured at the beautiful Linwood Estate, situated in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Before we dive into the venue itself we must ask… Lauren, we were just wondering, is it cool if you photoshop some of our staff into your photos from Linwood Estate so we can play make believe that we were there too? The acreage alone left our jaws dropped at a whopping 121 acres nestled in the Great Appalachian Valley Woodlands. This out-of-this-world property features a variety of diverse indoor and outdoor settings to satisfy the few, the many, and those with the wildest of imaginations. From Grecian-sculptures, crystal chandeliers, gilded interiors and greenery galore, Linwood Estate does everything just right.
