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!

This was truly the venue of our dreams! From the moment we had our initial tour, Megan was such a pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding dreams a reality. She always quickly responded to any questions we had throughout the process and frequently checked in with us during our many months of planning to ensure we had all of our bases covered. Everyone at the ballroom felt like a good friend the moment you met them -- from the bartenders to our maître d', Savannah, everyone was so friendly and excited to help us celebrate our big day. The staff truly made everything seamless, and my husband and I (and our families!) barely had to think or worry about anything throughout the night. We have gotten nothing but rave reviews about the ballroom and food, and Finley Catering helped make it all possible!

The communication with Springfield Country Club was prompt and clear throughout the entire wedding planning process! The space was timeless and classy, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. Milton was ready with blankets for the golf cart and always checking in with us in case we needed anything, and Nancy was always delightful and on top of everything that needed to be done. Our best man wasn’t able to attend due to deployment and the co-best man coordinated a video to play during the speech, the process day of was seamless and we are thankful he was able to say some words on our wedding day! We had such a great time working with Nancy and the entire Springfield Country Club team - the entire wedding was perfect!
