My fiancé and I were looking for a rustic wedding venue, not a ballroom, preferably a venue with space to be outside (weather permitting). We visited a few options in the Philly area and fell in love with the John James Audubon Center! The space offers SO many options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony. They host receptions in the pavilion which is open with huge windows and firepits outside! The site is beautiful, and everyone we’ve worked with has been immensely helpful! After officially booking for our October 2024 wedding, we planned to visit with our parents. What was originally intended to be a quick stroll around the grounds turned into an impromptu tour with the venue manage. She answered all of our parents' questions and even brought out photo books of previous weddings for us to flip through together. With the wedding right around the corner now, we could not be more thrilled with our decision and can't wait to be there next month to celebrate our big day!

Our experience at The Arches for my daughter's wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the venue’s stunning architecture. The Arches is an old cathedral that has been lovingly renovated into a wedding venue, and it retains all of its historic charm. The intricate stained glass windows, soaring arched beams, and gorgeous stonework created the most breathtaking and romantic atmosphere for the big day. What truly sets The Arches apart, though, is the care and dedication of the owner, Jane. She went above and beyond at every turn, ensuring that every detail was perfect and that we felt supported throughout the planning process. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. One moment that really stood out was when a snowstorm was forecasted just days before the wedding. Naturally, we were stressed about how this would affect our guests, but Jane immediately stepped in to help. She not only coordinated with a local hotel to secure discounted rates for our guests but also arranged transportation options to ensure everyone could attend safely. It was an incredible relief to have someone so thoughtful and proactive on our side. Thanks to The Arches and Jane, my daughter’s wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be and more. The guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue’s timeless beauty and warm ambiance (even with the snow), and we’ll always remember how special they made this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with breathtaking beauty, rich history, and unmatched service, The Arches is the place to go—it’s truly exceptional!

From our first tour of the venue, we knew we wanted to have our ceremony and reception at Vault 634. The venue is breathtaking and is the ultimate backdrop for photos. Although the venue is gorgeous, it really was the staff/coordinators at Vault 634 that made our experience as great as it was. Jared, Eric and Shanice were accessible, personable and felt like friends by our wedding day. Their response time is impeccable and their quick response time helped to keep my stress at bay. They also accommodated changes that I made the week before the wedding with such grace. Planning a wedding is stressful in itself, but working with this team made everything manageable.

The Barn at Silverstone is a stunning venue located in the heart of Amish country. Not only is the area beautiful, but every detail at the venue from the grounds to the bridal suite to the reception space is immaculate. I felt like a queen getting married there and the staff was amazing. They are so communicative and professional. I didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day. I would recommend this event space to other brides for sure.

My husband and I had our Christmas-themed wedding at the Eden on December 10th of 2021, and I can’t sing the praises of the wedding coordinators, concierges, catering and janitorial staff enough. From start to finish we felt genuinely cared for by everyone in the resort...and I know how often they host weddings, but each and every person on the Eden team accommodated us in such a joyful way; as if we were the only wedding in the building. And it felt like they were sincerely happy for us. Which made the day feel really, really special. Madeline and Felicia, our wedding/day-of coordinators, attended to every last detail of the day, making sure that absolutely nothing was missed. They were present, intentional, flexible, and at times even borderline protective of me and my family. And that’s anything a bride could ever ask for. I couldn’t be more grateful. As far as the planning process goes: as a project manager, I very much appreciated the explicit, direct nature of their policies and procedures. After offering me several tours of the venue (MOB was from out of town and MOG wanted to see it on separate occasions) and answering all of my many many questions via phone and email, we had several formal meetings to comb through all the details and make sure we were on the same page. Maddie was able to help me delegate and manage my expectations, especially when it came to who was responsible for what, and even then bent over backwards to help me and my bridal party with day-of tasks. Thanks again to everyone on The Eden Resort & Suites staff. You were such a crucial part of our big day and we appreciate your hard work!

Look no further than The Booking House. The Booking House was the very first wedding venue we toured and I fell in love instantly. The venue speaks for itself; there is so much character and is such a beautiful venue. The staff are incredible! Brittany is amazing- her communication from the very beginning was prompt and professional, she’s so friendly and I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile on her face. We booked both the day of coordination and in house bartending services and everything was amazing. Emilie was fantastic to work with to help us curate the perfect bar menu for our wedding day and is able to assist with recommendations. Aalea was our day of coordinator and I there are no words for how amazing she is. Whenever someone would ask me about how the wedding was the only thing I could say was “absolutely perfect” and that’s no exaggeration. Aalea and the entire Booking House team were able to fulfill my wedding vision dreams and the entire day went off without a single hiccup ( or at least none that I was ever aware of.) It was truly the most perfect day, with the best team at THE BEST venue.

I married my husband, Brandon, in late October this past year and we celebrated our Reception at the Wilbur Mansion with Rebecca Ciraco and Christy Jackson as our two right-hand people. Rebecca, our main contact at the Wilbur Mansion, was incredibly kind, patient, and fun to collaborate with. From the moment we met to sign the contract to the final menu selections weeks before the big day, Brandon and I loved working alongside her. Christy managed our event: she handled our signature drink, the linen colors, the layout, and any other little details at the venue. On the wedding day, Christy was the most consistent part of our reception. She made sure we were in the right places at the right times, she bustled my dress with safety pins (when we couldn’t find the little loops and buttons), she took care of talking to our DJ and communicating with staff for us, and she even made sure there was a plate of hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table so that we could eat after our photography session! She checked in on us throughout the event and she made the whole evening a BREEZE. Brandon and I are so incredibly thankful for Rebecca and Christy’s attention and help through our planning process and the event itself-- we truly felt so taken care of and carefree. The Wilbur Mansion is a STUNNING venue, but what truly makes it special is its team. Additionally, the Wilbur has so many beautiful places for photo ops, an excellent staff, and the food was OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS. Guests came up to me complimenting the hors d'oeuvres and meals all night at the Reception. Even now, months later, I still have friends recounting our wedding day and how wonderful the food was! Not only that, but hosting an event at the Wilbur Mansion was also a fair price. I can confidently recommend the Wilbur Mansion to anyone looking for an elegant backdrop for their event!

No matter the season or the couple, the weddings at Sayre are lovely, the couples well attended to by the staff and the facility, a graceful step back in time. Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions. The staff attends to whatever needs arise. The dining room is beautifully decorated with elegantly dressed tables. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.
