Grange Valley

Grange Valley is a lakeside resort and wedding venue in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. It offers a heritage barn, a galleria, an on-site restaurant team and rooms, cabins and cottages for guests.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The venue shows LGBTQ wedding venue and Rainbow Network badges on its own website. It is a good fit for couples who want a single property that handles food, rooms and ceremony space, so you deal with one team rather than several.

Ceremonies

Vows can be held outdoors by the lake or under the trees, or indoors in the Heritage Barn. The Galleria seats up to 120 guests, and the Heritage Barn takes up to 200.

Receptions and food

The on-site restaurant provides full-service catering with a chef-customized menu, bar service, servers or buffet staff, and cake service. A Bridal Salon and a lounge called Buck's Lounge give each side a private place to get ready.

Staying

Guests can stay on site in rooms, cabins and cottages. The venue recommends staying on the property, though guests may stay anywhere they like.

Getting there and the area

Mount Pocono sits in the heart of the Poconos, a few hours from New York City and Philadelphia. Ample on-site parking is included in the site fee.

Having rooms, cabins, a restaurant team and ceremony spaces on one site simplifies the logistics of a weekend. Guests can walk between the lake, the barn and their rooms, and nobody needs to drive after the reception. The Poconos also offer hiking, lakes and small towns nearby, which suits a welcome day or a farewell brunch.

Ask the events team which date patterns they offer, how the site fee is set up and which spaces are held for your group. A walk through at the hour of your ceremony will show you the light on the lake and the barn. Also confirm the arrival times for vendors and the plan for a rainy day.
