Laura Andrie

The Peter Allen House was the perfect spot for our fall wedding. The grounds as well as the home are beautiful and perfectly matched our vision.

Our guests greatly enjoyed the home for cocktail hour as well as the large tent for the reception.

The venue owners (Frank and Barb) were so supportive throughout the planning process and worked so hard to assist our vendors in ensuring that everything went smoothly on our wedding day.

We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our big day!

Conor Wakeen

Frank and his team were a cut above the rest.

We had our wedding here, truly an incredible venue, landscape, accommodations and staff.

Frank thinks of everything, example; he doesn't pull the curtains back on the reception tent until guests are sitting to prevent dust and pollen from building up on the dinnerware throughout the day... who thinks of that!?!?!

We looked at a couple of venues but after meeting Frank and seeing the landscape it was clear that this place was special and he makes it special.

Couldn't thank him his wife and the staff enough for an unforgettable experience.

Andrea Pritt

The Peter Allen House was exactly what we were looking for when planning our wedding ceremony and reception in Harrisburg, PA. Owners Frank and Barbara Pinto were extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. In fact, they never said no to a single thing we requested and always had a smile on their faces!

Their property is stunning and all of our guests kept mentioning how beautiful the grounds were. Frank worked with us on creating a new table set-up under the tent to accommodate our large wedding and the band. Additionally they were very helpful in assisting our other vendors throughout the day.

We were lucky enough to have perfect weather during our wedding but Frank and the staff had already planned back-up locations in the event anything went wrong.

Without a doubt, we would get married here again in a heartbeat!
