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!

He stayed in frequent communication with us in the days and months leading up to our event to ensure that everything was in order. The team at Wind Creek was very accommodating and honored all of our special requests. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and about how beautiful the venue was.

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

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding experience than the one we had at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. From the moment we started planning, the communication was exceptional. The staff was incredibly responsive, answering every question we had and ensuring we were fully prepared for the big day. Emilie, our wedding coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. She was organized, calm, and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless. She made us feel like we were her top priority, and thanks to her, everything ran perfectly without a single hitch. The venue itself is stunning, especially with the winter decorations that created a magical atmosphere. From the rehearsal dinner to the ceremony, reception, and even the send-off brunch, every detail was taken care of. Once we handed over our decorations to the hotel staff, they completely brought our vision to life and transitioned flawlessly between the ceremony and reception spaces. The food was another highlight! Our guests loved the variety of options at the rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and reception. The ice cream station during the reception was a huge hit—such a fun and delicious touch that had everyone talking. The accommodations for our guests were top-notch, with many of them praising the comfort and convenience of staying at the hotel. And the private cocktail hour for us, the bride and groom, was such a thoughtful and special touch that we’ll always remember. On the wedding day itself, the maître d’ was outstanding. They made sure we were well taken care of, guiding us through the day with ease and ensuring that we could truly enjoy every moment. Overall, the Historic Hotel Bethlehem provided the perfect setting for our wedding weekend. Every aspect—from the rehearsal to the ceremony to the reception and beyond—was flawless, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you’re looking for a venue where you and your guests will be treated with the utmost care and professionalism, we highly recommend this amazing venue!

I married my husband, Brandon, in late October this past year and we celebrated our Reception at the Wilbur Mansion with Rebecca Ciraco and Christy Jackson as our two right-hand people. Rebecca, our main contact at the Wilbur Mansion, was incredibly kind, patient, and fun to collaborate with. From the moment we met to sign the contract to the final menu selections weeks before the big day, Brandon and I loved working alongside her. Christy managed our event: she handled our signature drink, the linen colors, the layout, and any other little details at the venue. On the wedding day, Christy was the most consistent part of our reception. She made sure we were in the right places at the right times, she bustled my dress with safety pins (when we couldn’t find the little loops and buttons), she took care of talking to our DJ and communicating with staff for us, and she even made sure there was a plate of hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table so that we could eat after our photography session! She checked in on us throughout the event and she made the whole evening a BREEZE. Brandon and I are so incredibly thankful for Rebecca and Christy’s attention and help through our planning process and the event itself-- we truly felt so taken care of and carefree. The Wilbur Mansion is a STUNNING venue, but what truly makes it special is its team. Additionally, the Wilbur has so many beautiful places for photo ops, an excellent staff, and the food was OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS. Guests came up to me complimenting the hors d'oeuvres and meals all night at the Reception. Even now, months later, I still have friends recounting our wedding day and how wonderful the food was! Not only that, but hosting an event at the Wilbur Mansion was also a fair price. I can confidently recommend the Wilbur Mansion to anyone looking for an elegant backdrop for their event!

Matt and team were very easy to work with throughout the whole process from booking the space, choosing the menu, accommodating for food allergies and night-of service.

We used both the modern 11th floor Skyline Room for the ceremony and the gorgeous traditional ballroom on the main floor for the reception. We had a block of rooms for our guests and they raved about the accommodations and the service. The rooms were spacious and spotless. The bridal suite was huge and easily accommodated 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 4 aestheticians. The food was amazing; prime rib, crab cakes and chicken francaise were our choices. It was delicious and served hot. They have a variety of entrees to choose from. The staff was attentive to our needs as well as professional and friendly. Pricing was very reasonable considering all the amenities included. I highly recommend The Americus Hotel for a wedding or any other function. Mother of the Groom

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.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at The Renaissance!!! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and that we and our guests were happy! Angela was absolutely amazing-she is very detail oriented and knowledgeable (she listened to what we wanted and gave great suggestions) but more than that, she is a genuinely kind and caring person! My Dad passed away about a month before the wedding and my groom's Mom had passed a year and a half ago and Angela offered multiple suggestions for how could memorialize them at the wedding. She also gave us a private cocktail area so we could taste all the hor d'eourves and have some champagne before we went back up to mingle with our guests. Her team is also amazing-they were very attentive and all so nice, they seem to really care that you have a wonderful experience start to finish-they even filled out some of our wedding advice cards which I thought was so sweet!!! They set up and took down everything and it looked fantastic, as hassle-free for us as it could possibly be! Also-the food is AMAZING! We loved it during the tasting-it was a tough choice-and it was just as good at the wedding! We heard lots of good things from our guests and vendors too! Last but not least, the bridal suite was beyond gorgeous!!! Definitely recommend the Renaissance, you will not be disappointed!

I want to again express our deepest thanks for all you have done to make Lisa and Matt's Wedding Day a huge success. The entire staff was absolutely top-notch, very personable, so accommodating, and the guests have expressed to me how wonderful and delicious all the food selections were... out of this world! What more could I ask for? I could tell by Lisa and Matt's never-ending smiles that they enjoyed every bit of their day and ya'll were so much a part of that! The event staff were so pleasant to converse with - I wanted them to know how much I appreciate their work and efforts - they fulfilled any questions I had with a smile.

Hotel Du Village was a beautiful wedding venue. The staff was responsive to our all questions, feedback, and inquiries during the planning process. The venue itself was stunning, with a lovely outdoor space and elegant ballroom that made for a wonderful wedding celebration. Our guests were very happy. We also lucked out with beautiful springtime weather. Heather was great to work with - try to work with her! The hotel rooms, especially the non-suite options, were a bit on the smaller side. Overall, I would recommend Hotel Du Village as a great choice for couples looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding location.

My husband and I were married here recently and truly had the best experience. Christine was clear and up front with our wedding package details, which was important to us, not to mention incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive to our concerns and requests. Veronica’s team set up the reception and cocktail hour so beautifully, it exceeded my expectations. Every detail was looked after! Any errors during the event were immediately rectified. The entire Hyatt staff went above and beyond to make our day not just special, but easy, including our getting ready rooms and our bridal suite after. The food was just as incredible for the reception and cocktail hour as it was during our tasting. We could not have asked for a happier, more gorgeous wedding day.

We had the Perfect Night Before Party at Nektar! We had the first floor complete with Balcony the Thursday before Memorial Day. 43 guests. Everyone commented about the incredible food - that just flowed. Portabello fried mushrooms- truffle French fries- meatball sliders- scallops- lobster buns- short ribs with mashed potatoes. Amazing!!! People mingled and made connections. It was so much fun. It wasn't stiff- people got up and moved around. The drinks were delicious- and a wonderful desert tray to end the night. Caelin Murphy and her team are a knockout. So easy to work with - friendly and accommodating. It's a pretty place that has wonderful food and you can look out over the balcony into the town. I highly recommend booking this venue- you will not be disappointed! I would give Nektar a million star review. It was a fabulous night!

I cannot put into words how HIGHLY I recommend Glasbern. The ceremony space, reception space, guest rooms and grounds were so beautiful and the exact vibe we were going for. Megan and Morgan, the events manager and our day-of coordinator were my guardian angels, dealing with every request and question I had and taking every bit of stress away from me. The entire staff was perfection and treated us all amazingly. The food is incredible and the bartenders kept up with our VERY thirsty group. We were in the Glasloft, which is the smaller of their two event spaces (we had 70 guests), and even with another wedding happening at the same time, we never felt like anything was happening except our wedding.

A Dream Wedding at the Ryland Inn We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and convenient venue than the Ryland Inn for my daughter’s wedding day. From the stunning location to the seamless flow between the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and photo opportunities—all in one place—it made everything so easy for us and our guests. We didn’t have to travel anywhere, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. The service was absolutely exceptional. The entire staff was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. They were attentive to every detail and incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Being able to get ready on-site made the day even more stress-free and special. A special thank you to Giana Phillips, our amazing event stylist. She was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the big day. She anticipated our needs and handled everything with grace and care. It truly was a day to remember, and we are so grateful to the Ryland Inn for helping bring our vision to life so perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-tier wedding experience.

What an amazing venue! From the moment we toured and signed our contract, to the day after our wedding when we picked everything up (that was nearly packed for us), this place was seriously the best! Mollie and Alana were so great to work with the year leading up to our wedding, always available to answer questions and bounce ideas off of. Emily, our DOC, was truly AMAZING! She was so attentive to not only our entire wedding day and party, but to my husband and I. Any time I turned around she was right there ready to do whatever I asked. The ceremony summit terrace and the cocktail hour courtyard are both beautiful and intimate while also providing plenty of space. The food and service was excellent.

We got married at Woodsgate at the Stroudsmoor last weekend and to say it was perfect would still be an understatement. All but two of our vendors were internally through the venue and they took care of everything! From food to cake to makeup and hair to decorations, the Stroudsmoor team did a fantastic job putting together such a magical day for my husband and I. Our closest guests and us stayed for the weekend and enjoyed their gorgeous rooms with woodsy views and a delicious breakfast buffet for both mornings. Throughout the weekend, the staff were friendly and personable and were a part of some of our best memories from the weekend. It’s a week later and our guests still have not stopped raving about the food and the incredible service. The price was reasonable and worth every penny! We are extremely happy we made the choice to sign with the Stroudsmoor and look forward to staying here in the future and even attending more weddings here in the future! A huge thank you to Linda, Alex, Kaylie, Corinne, Grayson, Colleen, Gina, and the rest of the Stroudsmoor Team!

David’s Country Inn is truly the most incredible place you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than just a venue, they were our guides, our support system, and the people who turned our dream into reality. Honestly, without them, our day would not have been the same; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything (big and small) and made sure we never had to worry about a single thing. They even let us deliver our décor the day before and decorated the space for us, executing our vision flawlessly. Throughout the entire day, there was always someone by our side coordinating, keeping everything seamless, and allowing us to truly soak in every moment. The food was outrageously good, our guests are still raving about it. To our surprise, there was even a full dessert buffet in addition to the cake, which felt like an unexpected gift. During dinner, when they ran out of scallops (my favorite), they immediately cooked more just for me, the bride. And whenever we left the table to dance, they whisked our plates away to keep them warm so we never missed out. Every thoughtful gesture made us feel so cared for. What truly sets David’s Country Inn apart is how deeply they care about every couple. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but joy, attention, and an experience beyond our imagination. Even with a large team of vendors around us, it was the staff at David’s Country Inn who anchored the day, ensuring that everything felt effortless, magical, and unforgettable. Choosing David’s Country Inn wasn’t just about booking a venue, it was about having a team who would treat our day like their own, protect our memories, and make the celebration everything we dreamed of and more. They are extraordinary, both as professionals and as people, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, DO IT! They will give you the wedding day of your dreams.

Our wedding at Shawnee was nothing short of magical. Our wedding took place on October 5, 2024, at Shawnee Inn. From the moment we secured the venue, Tabitha was incredibly supportive and consistently available to assist us. We hosted our entire wedding weekend at this location, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Upon our arrival on Thursday, Jorge welcomed us warmly and provided invaluable assistance in transporting our wedding items to the conference room. On Friday, our guests participated in a round of golf, with JJ and Nick playing a pivotal role in organizing the outing. That evening, we held a welcome barbecue for all attendees, where the food was fantastic and the staff exemplary. On the morning of our wedding, we were treated to brunch while we prepared for the ceremony. Tabitha checked in frequently to ensure everything was proceeding smoothly. Our wedding ceremony was held outdoors on the lawn, which was breathtaking. It was followed by cocktail hour under the pavilion, which was truly stunning. The food and service during the cocktail hour were outstanding, with LaCresha ensuring that we, the brides, were well-fed and had drinks in hand. The reception took place in the main ballroom, where the dinner was delicious and the staff continued to impress us with their service. We concluded the celebration at the Brewery, where the staff was exceptionally accommodating and friendly. It was a flawless day, and we are immensely grateful to everyone involved. We had no complaints whatsoever. The following day, we hosted a farewell brunch on the front porch, and once again, the staff was attentive, and the food was remarkable. The bloody mary bar was incredible. Our guests are still raving about the wonderful time they had at Shawnee. The hotel itself is beautiful and exudes charm; although it is an older establishment, it possesses a unique character. The friendly and helpful staff significantly enhanced our special day. We highly recommend Shawnee to anyone seeking a memorable venue.
