He is definitely experienced with weddings, having many suggestions on things if we were unsure about it and happy to make whatever adjustments we asked for. He knew the vibe we were going for at our reception and made it happen. Everyone had such a good time. We also had him set up karaoke for us, which was so much fun and our guests loved it! He kept up the communication throughout our reception, making sure all of our "must have" songs for dancing and karaoke got their play time. I highly recommend Dan for your DJ and Karaoke needs - thank you so much!!!

They kept things flowing, and gave great suggestions on when we should do the certain reception things. They coordinated with our other vendors, and were just all around wonderful to work with, and took a lot of stress off of me on the day! Best of all, they got people dancing, even my dad!! We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ in the Johnstown area. They were so affordable and you really do get top-notch service.

The Barns were decorated with twinkling white lights and the stage was jumping with the sounds of "the girls in black hats". The Farm has a 5 star bed and breakfast for $125/night!! We went on hay rides and rode horses and ate like a feast from the romans! The hospiality and atmosphere has me still daydreaming I am there. A definite recomemdation for any gathering!

It was incredible to see demos of this gaited breed that has its origins in Puerto Rico and Colombia to be shown in their splendor right here in the Northeast. The farm has impeccable stalls for horses, a huge indoor show arena with skyklights, an outdoor arena and round pen, all with glorious views of the open rolling hills of the "Laurel Highlands." I can't wait to go back to stay at the elegant but reasonably priced bed and breakfast right on the premises. The day I was there, I noticed they were setting up for a private event, a birthday luncheon on the deck of the guest house with a top chef, live Spanish guitar, and roses on the tables, it looked fabulous, and so romantic. The ideal cozy getaway spot for R & R, or as an event space or party space, HVF makes you appreciate the beauty of the country. Horses + hospitality, a winning combination, with views as far as the eye can see!!

Be warned there is NO communication. They falsely advertise an event coordinator for your day but…read morewhat you get is actually a catering coordinator (two different jobs). At the end of the wedding the catering coordinator asked me for a tip. There was a 21% gratuity on the final invoice and they never let me know where that went to when I asked. The seating/set up chart I received was NOT how it was set up the day of. There was a wedding the day before mine and we had to intrude on them to have our rehearsal which was unfair to them (I just hope their wedding turned out better than ours). The ceremony site was left over from the day before and a complete mess we had to realign the chairs ourselves. If you take Tim up on officiating he might decide to back out last minute and not tell you and have someone else do it who let's their phone ring during the ceremony and NEVER turn in your marriage license until you get a state representative involved. Their response was a $500 refund which I did receive but for the amount of stress they put me under on my wedding day that I shouldn't of had to deal with is unacceptable. I won't recommend this venue or the catering. The food was good but I do not want to support any businesses owned by Carson's Catering again.

I was a part of a wedding that chose the Barn at Ligonier Valley as both the ceremony and reception…read morespace. It was beautiful inside and out, and the wedding was truly wonderful. Here are the main things to note: Pros: -Beautiful interior reception space. Large, and quite flexible. -Reception area was cooled nicely. -Easily adapted to move a ceremony indoors due to rain. It was probably better that the ceremony was indoors, because the outdoor space had a few issues. -Different wall textures and outdoor set ups allowed for a variety of pictures. -Food was fine, but not spectacular. Cons: -We couldn't get into the barn when we needed to, and the owners and staff were not always on time. -The bridal suite is in desperate need of cleaning and remodeling. It's incredibly hot, so wearing a giant wedding dress gets extremely uncomfortable pretty fast. We were able to get them to bring in a big, dirty, fan that was probably 40 years old, and pretty dangerous. The carpet was very rough, and very uncomfortable to be kneeling on when trying to bustle a bride's gown! It was just old, dirty, hot and uncomfortable. A bride needs to be cool, comfortable, and have a place to sit down her glass of champagne before the wedding. -Staff started cleaning up before the party was over - we had the barn until midnight, so I didn't want to see people cleaning up until we were done cleaning up our decorations and out of the way. They started coming in at about 11, and kept moving our things and getting in our way as we were trying to wrap up. -There is a gazebo for outdoor ceremonies, but it is very close to the road, and doesn't provide a very nice backdrop. Brides have to walk from the barn through the parking lot to get to the ceremony location.
