From our first meeting with Rachel at King Cole Farm, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel was outstanding throughout the entire process - from our initial visit to the day of the event and even in the days after. She always had a warm smile on her face and took care of anything that came up, no matter how big or small. Rachel put us at ease and made the entire weekend a fabulous experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The beautiful scenery where the ceremony took place, the lovely cocktail hour space, and the grand barn doors that the wedding party walked through - it was all an amazing experience. There was plenty of room for the caterer, bar, desserts, late night snacks, and of course, dancing! On the day of the event, we had the pleasure of working with the intern as well. She was so kind, giving rides to the ceremony and back to the cocktail hour and house for our elderly guests. She also helped us with the cleanup at the end of the night. The entire King Cole Farm staff is truly top-notch. I am still getting phone calls, text messages and social media posts that it was the best wedding they have ever attended! I would highly recommend King Cole Farm to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue. We had such a wonderful experience, and I hope to use them again in the future!

The moment I saw Bohemia Overlook, I knew it was the Wedding venue for us. The Venue is affordable and offers a good amount of accommodations that other venues do not and would cost extra even. The little things do matter, it adds up as we all know. The Venue kept in great contact with me and responded to me right away with questions I had through the whole experience and worked with me. Such a beautiful Venue. Was nervous when I found out a new owner took over, but realized quickly I didn’t need to be. The new owners kept up with the same pace of communication and response time and even on our Wedding day they greeted us and made sure everything was going good. We even got a beautiful view of the water on the hill for some wedding photos. My Wife and I enjoy coming here for different events and the wine room when it’s open. This place will forever be a cherished memory and not everyone can say that they can go back to where they got married. So much more to say about this place, but without going on a rant, just know this place is amazing. To even include how beautiful the barn looks upstairs at night, wasn’t expecting that since we usually see it during the day.

The Liriodendron Mansion was the second venue we toured back in 2024, and we instantly fell in love with it. Tucked away in a quiet Bel Air neighborhood, the mansion was once home to Dr. Howard Kelly — one of the founders of Johns Hopkins and the inventor of the Kelly clamp — before being sold to the county. The exterior is breathtaking, with two elegant porticos framing each side of the house. Behind the mansion, you’ll find a spacious patio that can comfortably seat 60–70 guests for dinner, surrounded by lush greenery and soft string lights overhead. The staff were wonderful throughout the entire process — from our initial walk-throughs to day-of coordination — and made everything feel seamless. If you’re looking for a venue with timeless charm, romantic ambiance, and a covered outdoor space perfect for dancing and cocktails, this is it. I highly recommend visiting — you’ll fall in love just like we did.

Nestled in Chadds Ford, PA, the BnB is right next to Longwood Gardens and within 45 minutes of King of Prussia Mall (for any last-minute wedding shopping necessary, as it turns out we needed!).

Brad and Cindy did an amazing job of making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying our stay, and the grounds ended up being absolutely stunning for our wedding day. They also have extras available to add-on to your package, as needed (tent, outdoor patio heaters, pew seating, and a super cute shutter altar set up!). Normally, venues in the Chadds Ford/Brandywine area are super expensive, but this one was not only affordable but very worthwhile!!! Thank you, Brad and Cindy!!

The venue was absolutely beautiful, and our bartender was truly outstanding - the best I or any of my guests have ever experienced at a wedding! Huge shoutout to them for making the evening so memorable. The food was impeccable, and our tasting experience was divine. The staff also assisted with setup and takedown, which we really appreciated. However, communication with the venue team was challenging at times. There were many back-and-forth emails that could have been resolved quickly with a phone call, and response times were often slow, even after requesting callbacks. My cake topper was unfortunately broken at some point during cleanup and no one informed us, which was disappointing. We also encountered some issues with the sound system and couldn’t locate the venue’s point person, though thankfully it was resolved before our grand entrance. Overall, despite a few hiccups, the venue was stunning, the food and bar service were exceptional, and our guests had a wonderful time.

If I could give 1000 stars I would! From the moment we arrived at Drumore for our tour to our wedding day, everything was perfect. We are still absolutely gushing over Drumore. it was the perfect venue for our wedding. We wanted a very classic venue and they had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food to luxurious facilities, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the wedding process and their top notch events team helps ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. The transitions from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception were seamless. Our Guests were in awe of the views (we also lucked out with absolutely perfect weather), how fantastic the food was the salmon was cooked to perfection and the short rib melted in your mouth!! Every detail was perfectly executed. We could not recommend Drumore Estate enough. It's definitely well-worth the investment for a beautiful, love-filled weekend!" Can’t forget about Marnie: From the moment we met Marnie, it was clear that she knew the ins and outs of Drumore Estate like the back of her hand. She was always available, promptly assisting us with any questions or concerns we had. She had a cool, calm, and collected vibe that made us feel at ease during the entire planning process, even if I did get a little carried away! On the big day, Marnie kept everything on track, and managed to make it all look so easy. She and her team were everywhere at once, making sure that every detail was perfect and that we were having the best day of our lives! We highly recommend Marnie! She's a wedding superstar, and we can't thank her enough for making our day absolutely perfect! Love the Howard’s
