This property was beautiful, and the owners were wonderful to work with! 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!). The wedding package we purchased included the entire BnB (6 rooms) for the bridal party, as well as the grounds to host our ceremony and/or reception (we did both!). 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!!

We were so happy we chose the German Society as our venue! We absolutely loved our ceremony in the library space and the incredible atmosphere in that room, along with the great pictures we were able to take after the ceremony. The banquet hall space was perfect for dinner and dancing. We had hardly any decorations because we loved the entire space so much as is. We couldn't have had a better experience -- everything went so smoothly, the coordinator Liesl was so helpful, and we received so many compliments on the venue from our family and friends.

*Please note, we booked Cedar Run for the ceremony only* One of the biggest takeaways we received from our wedding was how much everybody liked the ceremony. The beautiful view of the amphitheatre on the lake was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather held up beautifully! We paid extra for the animal ambassadors to make an appearance and it was worth every penny because they were a huge hit with wedding guests. We booked our reception hall first, so we needed a place that would allow us to do only our ceremony, and Cedar Run was the only place nearby that was affordable and actually gave us additional amenities for the cost. Not to mention your donation goes towards the upkeep of the facility and helping out the animals! We were also very big on having a backup plan just in case of inclement weather and they have at least two facilities that could work during rain. The lake, bridge, and woods all make for beautiful shots as you can see. The staff was great to work with and the animals are the cherry on top. Photo Credit: Cyan Blue Photography

At the heart of the thriving early industrial community known as Rittenhouse Town, the first paper mill in America was built. It all began when, in 1687, papermaker William Rittenhouse followed other Quaker and Mennonite families emigrating to the newly formed neighborhood of Germantown (founded in 1683). William partnered with Philadelphia’s first printer, purchased a 20-acre plot of land along Paper Mill Run (a tributary of the Wissahickon Creek) and, with the help of his son Nicholas, built the first paper mill in British North America that otherwise could only be delivered from England. For the next 40 years, the Rittenhouse family were the only papermakers in America.
