Late June is one of the most magical times to host a summer wedding in Pennsylvania, especially at Historic Shady Lane. The property comes alive with lush greenery, blooming garden beds, and golden light that filters through the trees — creating the perfect backdrop for a whimsical outdoor wedding. 

Lindsey and Tyler’s celebration embraced everything that makes our wedding venue so special. They exchanged vows in front of our glass greenhouse, framed by Japanese maples and surrounded by lush florals, carefully designed by Petals with Style. 

The Greenhouse Terrace, one of our most popular ceremony sites, is a serene mix of sunlight and shade, allowing guests to enjoy the open-air charm of a garden wedding. 

Their wedding day was filled with joy, laughter, and personal touches — from the couple’s intimate first look on the bandstand steps, to photos with their wedding party across the lawn. Their dog even made an appearance, adorned in a flower wreath that tied in beautifully with the summer-inspired bouquets — a perfect example of how relaxed and welcoming a Historic Shady Lane wedding can feel. 

As the day moved into evening, guests gathered under the reception tent, enjoying dinner and dancing as the sun set behind the trees. The tented space and greenhouse, each equipped with fans, provided comfort and airflow even on a warm June night. As the sun set and the chandelier lighting glowed, the atmosphere turned even more magical — exactly what couples dream of when planning a whimsical outdoor wedding in Pennsylvania. 

From shaded locations to the romantic evening glow, Historic Shady Lane offers an unmatched balance of natural beauty and 19th century design for your summer wedding in York, PA. Whether you envision an elegant garden celebration or a laid-back outdoor affair surrounded by flowers and trees, our estate provides the perfect backdrop for a day that feels effortlessly timeless.
