Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as I entered the lobby of The Booking House I knew I found the location where I wanted to get married. From the exposed brick walls, wooden beams and floors, the super cozy bridal suite and bachelor room for the men, not to mention the extraordinarily friendly and helpful staff, I was blown away by this venue. All of my guests raved about how unique the venue was and the beauty of the place. Brittany was an angel and so incredibly helpful in planning and organizing, which was even more meaningful as an out-of-state bride, she took away my worries and worked with my tight schedule in touring the venue and having our meeting virtual. I would recommend to everyone to have their wedding at The Booking House!

Reading Art Works is now offering Teeny Weddings (ceremonies for 10-12 people) for 2020 to accommodate all of those effected by COVID -19.

My partner and I got married at Goggleworks in May of 2024 and we could not have asked for a better venue. Between the thoroughness of Margaret's communication, to the versatility of the venue itself, and all of the steps that go into making a wedding a breeze - they have it all. We wanted to have a slightly untraditional food situation at our wedding, bringing multiple restaurants together to have a mixed menu and this space accommodated that perfectly. With no required food vendor, you have the ability to get really creative in this space. And when I say that the staff were incredible to work with, I mean all of them! Margaret was fantastic with all pre-wedding planning. We were able to rent the spaces for the day before to load everything in and lighten our day-of wedding load. Margaret was there waiting for us at the loading dock, and there to close up when we left - she is the calming and helpful presence that you want on your wedding day. We were also able to leave our things in the space until the day after the wedding, making clean up much easier on us. In addition to Margaret, her team is stellar, the housekeeping staff are incredibly generous with their time, and the desk staff were there to point our guests everywhere they needed to go. All around a great organization to work with. If I were to do it over, I would choose Goggleworks every time!

The Trolley House was the perfect venue for our wedding! From start to finish, the staff was so helpful, responsive, and a joy to work with. Their communication was clear, prompt, and made planning a breeze. The venue itself is gorgeous - the restored trolley barn features beautiful exposed brick and wood beams that provided a warm, rustic backdrop for our big day. The outdoor patio area was huge and accommodated all of our guests with room to spare. They helped coordinate all of the event timing and logistics seamlessly so we could just relax and have fun. On the wedding day itself, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I can't recommend The Trolley House highly enough for couples planning their special day!
