The Reading Public Museum was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. Braden was wonderful all the way through the process from making changes to the floor plan and organizing the rehearsal to assisting relatives with mobility issues and event printing out my vows at the last minute. All the staff went above and beyond to help make our day perfect. When we came to pick up our stuff the next day, the front of house staff even let my husband and I come in and check out some of the exhibits that we had missed seeing during the reception. The garden outside was gorgeous for our ceremony - exactly the outdoor feeling we wanted and with so many beautiful flowers that there's no need for an additional decor. Having family and friends spread out between the well-kept beds felt magical coming over the bridge surrounded by trees and greenery. Our reception in the Museum galleries was absolutely perfect. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family in the months since that our wedding was the most fun and cool wedding they'd ever been to. The beautiful galleries allowed us to get away with limited decor, and there was something for everyone to enjoy all around the Museum. Braden and the Museum were so flexible allowing us to have our reception exactly as long as we wanted it to be with guests coming and going from different galleries and stopping to spend some time on the dance floor. The whole event was exactly what we wanted it to be, and we couldn't have gotten that at any other venue.

I have had the pleasure of designing and implementing many wedding couples visions of their perfect day at the fabulous Reading Art Works. This facility is one of the BEST KEPT SECRETS in all of Berks County. It has been featured numerous times in magazines, blogs and more. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, people come from many different states like New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Florida and more. There are plenty of local hotels, the venue is very reasonably priced. Reading Art Works is now offering Teeny Weddings (ceremonies for 10-12 people) for 2020 to accommodate all of those effected by COVID -19. Visit their website at readingartworks.com to learn more and to check in later this month to see the free back drop I am creating to accommodate those couples still wanting to have their small ceremony this year.

My partner and I can’t express enough how much we absolutely loved having Goggleworks as our wedding venue! We met during college in our art program, so being able to have our wedding day in an arts building surrounded by beautiful artwork was so special. Goggleworks was one of the first places I happened upon while browsing venues in the area and I knew it was the one right away. Margaret was an absolute dream to work with and took all of the stress out of wedding planning - she was always quick to answer any questions we had and was consistently so helpful and kind up to the day. The space at Goggleworks is so very exceptional and unique (we chose room 238 for our full event - the market lights and exposed brick are positively dreamy!), the perfect size for our smaller wedding (we had around 50 guests attend), and very affordable! We were also able to set up the day before which was perfect. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and could not stop raving about it - we loved that everyone was able to walk around the center in between our ceremony and reception to view the art exhibits. One attendee said it was the first time they’d purchased a souvenir at a wedding (referring to the gift shop!) This is truly a hidden beautiful gem of a venue - we wish we could do it all over again and I would give 1000 stars review if I could! We also appreciate as a queer couple that this venue was 100% LGBTQ friendly and we were so comfortable and grateful. We truly cannot recommend Goggleworks enough and especially the absolute rockstar that is Margaret! Thank you for making our day the most perfect it could be!!

Folino Estate Winery was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very first meeting with Rayna, who showed us around the beautiful, spacious, and classic space, we knew this was the place for us. Hannah played a huge role in making our big day so very special, she was attentive to us and really understood our vision. The communication with the team was incredibly fast and efficient, and they were so thoughtful and caring throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding the staff was even helping to accommodate dietary restrictions. Folino truly made our special day a dream come true, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding there.
