From the reviews
My husband and I met at Edinboro University and got engaged there so getting married in Edinboro was also important to us as it held a significant meaning. I also always wanted a garden wedding and I got that with Goodell. The grounds were beautiful and well kept and Kim was very communicative.
I saw this on Google Maps and thought it'd be nice to visit. Yes! It's quite lovely. I'm so impressed by the beautiful, very old trees that have been well cared for. There are gorgeous and unusual flowets and plants. There was a gathering going on during my visit.
Had our wedding here a few years ago, we enjoyed having the outdoor venue so close to home and to the location of our reception.
I can NOT express more gratitude and happiness with the venue that we chose for our wedding day last Saturday. The grounds were perfectly manicured, the barn was clean and free of wolf spiders, the staff was kind and accommodating. I will continuously rave about and recommend this venue to anyone who will listen.
Getting married at Goodell Gardens & Homestead
Goodell Gardens & Homestead comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
