The team at Reading Country Club made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was incredibly helpful. Jen, Kayla, and Dan went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, and the day would not have been as special without their attentive service.

Our wedding at the Stroudsmoor was absolutely incredible, and we truly cannot recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience felt peaceful, organized, and completely stress-free. The accommodations were beautiful, and the entire morning leading up to the wedding felt calm and worry-free...exactly what every couple hopes for on their big day. Our wedding coordinator, Grace, went above and beyond in every way. She made sure every detail was set up exactly as we envisioned and was always one step ahead, keeping everything running smoothly. Right before our ceremony was scheduled to begin, we were unexpectedly told that our officiant had not arrived and had completely forgotten about our wedding. What could have been a complete disaster turned into one of the most memorable moments of the day thanks to Grace’s quick thinking. Luckily, my husband's great-uncle, who is an ordained minister, stepped in to officiate. Grace immediately helped by rewriting a ceremony script for him to follow and guiding everything behind the scenes, so our ceremony went off without a hitch. Because of her professionalism and calmness, what could have been a very stressful experience turned into a meaningful and unforgettable moment. We ended up being married by our dear family member. Communication throughout the entire day was outstanding, and we always felt completely taken care of. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a more beautiful place to celebrate our wedding. Thank you to the entire team at Stroudsmoor and especially Grace, for making our day so special!

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!

Each room onsite is beautifully decorated, spacious, and cozy (Lori, please come help me decorate my house, lol) Lori and Steve were absolutely amazing from day 1! They were easy to communicate with, and answered the many questions a bride has before her big day. And when the big day came around, they were there to continue helping, answering questions, and working with our team to ensure everything went off without a hitch (and it did!) Thank you Lori & Steve for making our dream wedding come true! We'll be thinking about this weekend for decades to come.

I truly don’t know how anyone gets married anywhere other than HollyHedge. From the Inn, to the scenery, to the staff, it can’t be beat. All our guests couldn’t stop saying how amazing it was to stay on property. And having the after party there was the icing on top of the cake! The top two compliments we got on our wedding were: 1) “that was the best wedding food I’ve ever had” and 2) “this is a beautiful setting”. As the bride and groom, Gabbi, Michele, and Michael are lifesavers. They make wedding planning easy and straightforward, and the actually wedding day is a breeze because everything is handled before you ever knew there was even an issue. All the staff are absolute professionals keeping everything running smoothly rain or shine. Nothing but high, high praise for all of HollyHedge - it doesn’t get any better!
