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!

We are so happy we went with Springton Manor for our wedding!! To start, the planning process was made so seamless and easy to manage with Kelly Tobin as the coordinator. Kelly is responsive, organized, and knowledgeable, and made a process that can be overwhelming, much more manageable. Next, we can’t say enough good things about Queen of Hearts catering! The food was delicious, and guests were coming up to us saying it was the best weddding food they’ve had. My husband and I both got the braised short rib and it was amazing. It was also presented beautifully, and staff were professional and timely. Additionally, Master’s Baker, who does the cake for Springton weddings, was pleasant to work with and made a delicious (and beautiful!) cake for our ceremony. They worked with us to get exactly the vision we were going for. Finally, the grounds and manor house are truly stunning and timeless. We wanted to lean more into the “classy garden party” vibe rather than farm/rustic, which was totally do-able. You can really make the venue what you want. The scenery around the outdoor tent at sunset was incredible. We were worried about it being too hot with it being an August wedding, but with the breeze up on the hill and fans- it felt completely comfortable. We also loved how cocktail hour was under the trees/open space behind the manor house. This separated the cocktail hour from reception, which was under the tent, naturally and seamlessly. Overall, we are so so happy with Springton Manor and could not have asked for a better wedding day! Thank you to everyone at Springton Manor who helped make it possible!

CCC has been so easy to work with and we couldn’t be more excited to have CCC host our wedding in January 2021! Natasha the Events & Dining Director has always kept open (And fast!) communication and has a real understanding of the experience we hope for! Chef didn’t wince once we submitted a request for a special 5 course wine dinner for our reception. He took our ideas and truly made our tasting experience at the club wonderful. I know our family and friends will be over the moon when they see how the club will pull everything together.
