If you grew up in the Poconos or have lived here for a while, you know the specific beauty of our region. You know how the light hits the trees on Blue Mountain in October. You know the winding roads of Carbon and Monroe counties like the back of your hand.
But when it comes time to plan a wedding, many local couples feel like they have to make a difficult choice: Either travel two hours to Philadelphia or New Jersey to find a “fancy” venue, or settle for a local hall that feels a little too familiar.
At Hideaway Hills, we offer a third option. We are the “Hidden Gem” right in your backyard.
Our venue is perfect for couples from Lehighton, Kunkletown, Palmerton, and Stroudsburg who want the elegance of a destination wedding without the hassle of leaving town. Here is why your neighbors are choosing to tie the knot at home.
1. The “Destination” Vibe (Without the Travel Time)
The biggest compliment we get from local couples is, “I feel like I’m a million miles away, but I’m only 15 minutes from home.”
Our name, Hideaway Hills, isn’t an accident. Because our venue is nestled within a scenic, challenging golf course landscape, it offers a sense of seclusion and grandeur that you don’t get at roadside banquet halls.
When you are standing in our Fountain Courtyard or looking out the windows of the Buena Vista Ballroom, you aren’t looking at a parking lot or a highway. You are looking at rolling hills, lakes, and pristine fairways. You get the “Resort” atmosphere that tourists drive hours to see, but for you, it’s just a short drive down the road.
2. Your “Home Course” in a New Light
For many locals, Hideaway Hills is already a favorite spot for a round of golf due to our scenic beauty and elevation changes. But seeing it as a golfer and seeing it as a bride or groom are two different experiences.
When you host your wedding here, you get to share a place you love with the people you love, but elevated to a level of elegance that surprises people. It’s the perfect blend of the familiar and the spectacular. (Plus, for the groom and his friends, getting a complimentary round on a course they actually know and enjoy is a massive perk!).
4. Local Pricing (Not Tourist Pricing)
We know that living in a tourist destination often means dealing with “Tourist Prices.”
Many of the large resorts in our area cater specifically to the New York/New Jersey wallet. At Hideaway Hills, we are a public course and venue rooted in the local community. Our “All-Inclusive” package is designed to be accessible for local couples who want high quality without the inflated price tag of the massive corporate resorts.
We believe you shouldn’t have to overpay just because you live in a beautiful area. We offer transparent pricing that lets you have the lavish wedding you want while keeping your budget realistic for life in the Poconos.
5. Stress-Free Planning
Planning a wedding from a distance is hard. Planning a wedding 15 minutes from your house is a luxury.
- Need to drop off favors on a Tuesday? No problem.
- Want to bring your mom by to see the ballroom on a Sunday morning? Easy.
- Need to meet with the chef to tweak the menu? It’s a quick drive.
Choosing a local venue means you are close to your vendors, close to your venue coordinator, and close to home. It removes the logistical stress so you can focus on the fun parts of planning.
