WEDDINGS & EVENTS IN CARLISLE, PA
Where Timeless Beauty Meets New Beginnings
Tucked between the mountains of Central Pennsylvania, Cottage Hill is a place where time slows down, love lingers longer, and life’s biggest moments are celebrated with beauty and intention.
Rooted in History, Built for Love
At Cottage Hill, time seems to slow just enough for you to breathe it all in: the laughter of loved ones echoing through open fields, the rustle of leaves overhead, and the quiet magic that lives in the in-between moments. Surrounded by mountain views and historic charm, your story unfolds with the warmth and authenticity it deserves.
Whether you’re exchanging vows, celebrating a milestone, or bringing your loved ones together “just because,” our venue offers a warm and elegant space for unforgettable moments.
The Heart of Cottage Hill
Cottage Hill is a place where generations of care and craftsmanship have shaped a home that now opens its arms to you. There’s a story behind every stone, every beam, and every worn surface on our farm.
Built in 1837 and lovingly restored over generations, this farmhouse and the surrounding land have witnessed decades of life, love, and laughter.
Today, we share it with those looking for more than a venue. Cottage Hill is a place to exchange your vows, make new memories, and begin anew.
A Setting Like No Other
Nestled in a quiet valley between the North and South Mountains in Cumberland County, Cottage Hill offers breathtaking views of rolling farm fields, tree-lined meadows, and the distant blue ridges.
A centuries-old sycamore stands watch over the backyard, while a whimsical catalpa tree, known to us as the “Tree of Life,” marks the heart of the property. Stone walls, garden paths, and a rustic meadow surrounded by trees create dreamy photo backdrops around every turn.
