Barn on Bridge was a wonderful venue for our November Wedding. The staff was very nice, always friendly, and made our day perfect. Mark and Michelle were so accommodating during our wedding planning process and were amazing to work with. Brianna and Bridget were our Day of Coordinators and did an awesome job making sure everything went according to plan. The beautiful barn venue speaks for itself and held our 170 guests well. The food was delicious and we've heard nothing but great reviews from our guests. Overall, we would give 5 stars for Barn on Bridge and would recommend it to anyone looking for a rustic barn venue for a wedding or event.

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!

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.

From the first tour to the actual wedding day, our experience with everyone at Stokesay was incredible. Maureen was an absolute dream as our coordinator. The food was a huge hit. All of the servers and staff were so sweet and genuinely lovely to be around. The venue itself is right out of a fairytale and allowed for us to enjoy all of the whimsical vibes we always wanted. The recently renovated Princess Suite is amazing. So spacious, wonderful lighting, all around a lovely space to get ready in. We found most of our vendors through the bridal showcase that Stokesay hosts, and everyone on their list of preferred vendors that we patronized were amazing as well. We are thrilled with how the entire process went and will cherish the memories made on our wedding day our entire lives. We're also lucky to live close enough to be able to come back and enjoy the Knight's Pub whenever we want to revisit that magical atmosphere.

We got married at RCC on April 5th. This was an amazing venue. They renovated the building from top to bottom and did a lot of outside landscaping. We had our rehearsal dinner at Jacks on the Green in a private room, the food was great and the service was on point. We had our Wedding ceremony inside and it turned out perfect. The dance floor is very big and our guests loved the outside patios. There’s so many great areas here for pictures. Dan, Kayla, and Brianna were great to work with. They’re very professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns you have. We highly recommend you checking out this venue.

Words cannot describe how perfect our wedding day was at Graystone Farms. Kai and Maddie were absolutely incredible in making our day as special as it can be. As soon as we arrived to view the venue, we fell in love and knew this is where we wanted to get married. Kai was incredible with suggestions and communication. Kai helped with catering suggestions and other accommodations as well. We could not have asked for a better venue, pictures and memories that were made. To top it off, a friendship was built with Kai and we will forever be grateful for going above and beyond with her staff to make sure our day was perfect. If we were to do it all over again, Graystone Farms would be our first choice every time!
