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!

They were so great to work with from start to finish! I knew I wanted a venue that wasn’t your traditional location and this was just that. The castle vibes were everything and so different for guests to experience! If you’re looking at 200 guests, Stokesay can accommodate so much more! We estimated 240, but ended up with 200 and the ballroom was so spacious, no one felt crowded. We had great feedback from our guests regarding the entire venue as a whole and food as well! Response times and communication were always great and everything we had asked for was translated perfectly for our day. They did a good job at taking notes on our file of things we wanted and were doing differently. Would definitely recommend!! My husband and I can’t wait to come back every once in a while to visit the pub and reminisce on our special day!

We recently had our wedding at Bear Mill Estate. It's a truly beautiful venue and it exceeded all of our expectations. The grounds offer so many wonderful places to take photos. The cocktail/reception area have many unique spaces were guests could relax, dance, and socialize without getting stuck at their assigned tables. And we can't say enough good things about the day of coordinator, Troy, who was amazing at the usual wedding chaos (kids, dog, demanding guests, etc) but also kept our wedding together despite one difficult vendor. Our guests were constantly raving about how beautiful and unique the venue was. If you're having a small to medium size wedding, we absolutely recommend Bear Mill, and would gladly book them for our next (non-wedding) event.

When we first visited Elizabeth Furnace, it was rainy, foggy day in March, but we immediately saw the beauty. How well maintain the grounds were and how perfect our wedding could be. Fast forward a year and half to December 2025 we couldn't have been happier with our decision to get married at Elizabeth Furnace. This venue was everything we hoped for and more—warm, romantic, and incredibly cozy. It was the perfect setting for a winter wedding, with an inviting atmosphere that made our day feel intimate and magical. The food from JDK was absolutely to die for and is still something our guests are raving about. The staff was truly top notch—attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail was perfect.

From the very beginning before we even booked the venue Jared and Eric were a pleasure. It was the only venue we toured and we knew as soon as we saw it that it would be our venue. The venues beauty speaks for itself, it’s easily one of the most unique spaces I’ve ever seen. I didn’t want a typical ballroom style venue for our wedding, I wanted something elegant, unique and historical and Vault 634 checked all those boxes for me. The entire venue is filled with history. The speakeasy where cocktail hour is held is so cool and an amazing backdrop for family and bridal party portraits. The rest of the venue where ceremony and reception is held has such a regal vibe to it and was a stunning backdrop for our formal portraits. We had multiple compliments on our venue before our wedding even happened and during/after our wedding guests raved about the vibe, experience and food. The food is the best food I’ve had at any wedding hands down. During our tasting it was so hard to choose because everything was incredible and they have a very large selection, they will also work with you to combine and customize any meal. All 3 of the meals we picked were complimented by guests with some saying they “never usually finish their plates at weddings but that it was so good they had to”. Beyond the good food and beauty of the venue the service is impeccable. Jared answered all my emails (which was a lot) in such a timely and professional manner. When we met with Eric and Shanice during our tasting I had zero fear of anything going wrong during our wedding because they 100% know what they are doing. During our wedding Eric always made sure my husband and I had food and drinks and anything else we could’ve possibly needed. I can’t say enough good things not only about the venue but about its staff, they take the stress out of wedding planning and make sure that your day is perfect. If you’re debating booking this venue just do it you won’t be disappointed. It was the best decision we made regarding our wedding and we couldn’t be happier.

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!

I can not reccommend The Booking House enough! The venue itself is a one of a kind, beautiful, spacious and all my guests were obsessed! The staff is amazing!! They were so kind, organized and attentive and helped make planning my wedding so easy every single step of the way. We used their in house bar tenders as well as day of coordinator! I highly suggest including both on your wedding package! Aalea- that day of coordinator was absolutely incredible! I can't express that enough. She was the sweetest, most fun and caring person! She made our big day run so flawlessly. She took care of all hiccups that came along with the day, and I never even knew about them. She did such an amazing job and brought my wedding dream to life.

Miranda at Barn at Silverstone is the definition of professionalism. From day one as we toured the venue I was blown away at how detail-oriented and passionate she was about making the client’s dream wedding come to life. She works with trusted vendors, invests in quality programs to help you plan and stay on track in your process, and is always available to answer any & all questions. Not to mention she was incredibly kind and so fun to work with through this process. I truly did not have any worries on my wedding day because I knew Miranda was on top of it! The venue is STUNNING. Each section of the venue in itself is so beautiful that you do not even need much decor. The beauty of this place speaks for itself. You can tell how much thought has gone into each room & building. It is very accessibly friendly which was greatly appreciated for my guests who struggle with walking. There is a place for everything… wish you could stow away something out of guests sight? They have a place! Wish there was a place to hang your things in bathrooms/bridal suite? There’s a hook! Just so many little things that you do not think of until you need it. Just shows how much care and thought was put into this venue. We even had to make the call to move indoors on my wedding day due to rain and Miranda was so prepared and made the transition incredibly easy and made it equally as stunning. She truly is the best of the best. I cannot rave enough about my experience. Our special day was PERFECT and all my thanks goes to Miranda for making it all happen. If you are looking for a place that’s you can trust to have above & beyond service, that takes your vision seriously, and that you can trust to execute your wishes, look no further. I am so incredibly grateful for all her & her team’s hard work to make our day even more special. I do not have any professional pictures back just yet but here are a few that do not even begin to capture how stunning everything turned out. Thank you SO much!!! -Mr. & Mrs. Boak

First of all, what a gorgeous venue! We had our wedding reception in the crystal ballroom and it was beautiful. The Eden staff worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. I can’t say enough how helpful Megan Supeck was in our planning process. She was so communicative and transparent. She seemed as happy as we were about our wedding! From beginning to end, she went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. We also enjoyed staying in the Paradise Suite the night of the wedding. They had a bottle of champagne read for us when we got to the room and complimentary breakfast the next morning. I was so stressed with wedding planning, but Megan and her team really put me at ease.

Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions.

I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.

We recently had a business event at Hotel Bethlehem. The venue was beautiful. The staff provided amazing service during our event and they were very attentive to our guest needs. The Bellman Barry and one other Bellman were very helpful upon arrival. They also made it easy to enter the hotel for one of our guest in a wheelchair. We had food stations and they were setup with great detail and the meal was delicious! Everyone commented that the food was on point perfect. This comment also came from 3 Chefs that were in the room as guest. Our bartender Steve also made the event special helping serve our guest themed drinks. Kathy our Sales Manager was extremely helpful with the entire process. She made everything run smoothly from the menu selections to the room layout. Our guest are still talking about this event weeks later! We truly appreciate the warm hospitality of all the hotel staff at Hotel Bethlehem.

My husband and I were so pleased with our reception at CCHC. Working with Cyndi Meadows, we were able to put on a fun, personalized reception for which we received rave reviews from family and friends. Cyndi answered our many questions and was responsive to our needs. Our guests loved the venue, with cocktails outside on the terrace along with the option to browse the museum collections. The auditorium space accommodated about 100 guests for a buffet dinner and dancing very well. With our DJ's lights, floral arrangements, and some additional decor, we turned the basic, blank slate of the auditorium into a vibrant, colorful space. Proximity to the Chestnut Street parking garage and the Hotel Warner are huge bonuses for this a unique venue in the borough of West Chester. The venue costs are very reasonable when looking at other local venues, plus you provide your own alcohol here which provides further savings. We happily partnered with one of their preferred caterers, Limoncello, who provided abundant, delicious food and excellent service.
