Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
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!

Clothier of Wynnewood was absolutely wonderful to work with for our event. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was attentive, prompt, and incredibly informative. The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and so welcoming - the perfect backdrop for our special day. We had a cancer survivorship day at Clothier Hall. Fred, April, and their entire team went above and beyond to make everything perfect for our attendees. They were so accommodating and truly helped make our event a huge success. We can't wait to host there again next year!
