A Secluded Paradise for Unforgettable Events | Annie and Ben Judd

The Venue Owner SeriesSeason 2
Written By Jonathan Aymin

In this week’s episode of The Venue Rx Podcast, host Jonathan Aymin is joined by Annie and Ben Judd, the owners of Heron's Hollow, a wedding venue situated in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania. The episode delves into their inspiring journey as venue owners, exploring the hurdles they overcame, such as navigating zoning and planning approvals, as well as effectively managing guests who displayed disrespectful behavior. The conversation also touches on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their business, which surprisingly led to an upsurge in Airbnb bookings.

Annie and Ben discuss their distinctive approach to hosting weddings, offering an immersive weekend-long experience complete with overnight accommodations. Despite the myriad challenges they've encountered, they express their deep joy in being part of these special moments and witnessing their property's transformation into a breathtaking backdrop for memorable celebrations.

About Our Guests:

Meet Ben and Annie Judd, the owners and operators of Heron's Hollow. They are both Air Force veterans and parents to two little boys. Heron's Hollow offers a stunning backdrop for all events. The 31-acre property on the outskirts of South Central PA provides picturesque views, whether you prefer the pond, the woods, or the rolling hills.
