Glen Eden Barn 

5.0

Evans City, PA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Originally built in 1860 along Glen Eden Road, the barn, owned by the estate of Gene and Dee Graham, descendants of early settler of Cranberry Township, Matthew Graham, was slated to be sold as part of a real estate development and eventually torn down. The barn and farmhouse had been in the Graham family since its original construction, but was restored by Gene and Dee in the 1950’s as they started their own dairy farm, Brookvue Acres. For the next half century, the barn was the epicenter of daily life for the Graham family. All six children and numerous farm hands pitched in to help run the dairy. Resigned to spend more time with their grandchildren, the Grahams retired in 1998, happily closing that chapter of their life. Their legacy carries on in Graham Park, a donation of their farmlands to the community, in Cranberry Twp.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Rustic-chic setting
  • Raw space for complete customization

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Does not have a dance floor

The Hype DJ Duo had the absolute pleasure of DJing a wedding at the Glen Eden Barn! We can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful and well-managed venues we have ever worked at to date. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless — the staff was incredibly welcoming, organized, and attentive, making setup and logistics a breeze. The space itself is stunning! The barn has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both the ceremony and the reception. Not to mention, the absolute stunning view!!! The acoustics were great for music, and the lighting options made it easy to create an unforgettable ambiance on the dance floor. Guests were raving about how beautiful everything looked, and as a DJ, it made our job even more fun seeing everyone dance and celebrate in such a gorgeous setting. We can’t recommend Glen Eden Barn enough for couples looking for a venue that combines charm, professionalism, and a magical vibe. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner. David went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care for both the couple and the vendors stood out right away. It’s rare to work with someone so passionate and organized, and it made our job so enjoyable.

Tiny Venue Big Farm Adventure was all that and more! The farm views are so beautiful and our wedding event had perfect fall weather - we couldn't have found a better place. Mark was very easy to work with and had some good local suggestions to complete our tiny wedding day. We loved that the tiny house was right there and we got to spend our first night, alone in the middle of this huge farm. The night sky and camp fire were magical. Small, so not for everyone and that made it even more special for us. Highly recommend.

Foggy Mountain Lodge was everything and more we could have wanted for our wedding. Sam and Karen were so easy to work with, they made our day flow without a hitch! The scenery, food/bar services, and overall welcoming atmosphere were all phenomenal! Weddings are expensive, but Foggy Mountain helped keep the budget more friendly with lodging, catering, and bartending services all being available there. We loved that we got to set up Friday during the day, have rehearsal in the evening, have everything go on Saturday (plus a bonfire after the reception), and not have to rush to clean up until Sunday! I would recommend Foggy Mountain Lodge to any couple wanting a rustic/country scenery venue WITHOUT the barn (no judgment if that's what you want though)! If we could give them extra stars, we absolutely would! Check out the restaurant on it's own too, you'll love the food!

My husband and I recently booked the Broderie Room for a small intimate wedding and could not be happier that we did. From start to finish, everything was perfect. We worked with Caroline Walker as our Day-of-Coordinator. She was fantastic! She was very easy to communicate with, asked plenty of questions during our walk through meeting to ensure she was prepared for the big day, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly during the ceremony. The Broderie Room and the Conservatory itself is just phenomenal. The spring flowers were beyond gorgeous and I can't say enough great things about the beauty throughout the entire building. We had an amazing experience and so appreciate Phipp's and Caroline for making our special day as perfect as it was.
