About this venue

Set across 42 acres just beyond Philadelphia, the estate is home to a collection of architecturally significant mansions, each offering its own private experience. Elstowe Manor anchors the estate with grand Gilded Age architecture and fully restored interiors, while Chelten House, an English Tudor estate arriving in late 2026, and the Carriage House to follow, will introduce two additional, entirely distinct settings. Each property hosts its own celebration, creating a sense of exclusivity that’s rare to find. With overnight accommodations onsite, your wedding becomes more than a day, it becomes a fully immersive weekend, brought to life with Landmark’s signature hospitality.

    A an absolute Dream

    Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate was an absolute DREAM! The venue is a gorgeous rare gem for the Philadelphia area filled with European and Gilded Age charm, which is what drew my husband and I to it. The preferred communication for them is through email and very formal initially, however in person they make you feel like family! The catering and wait staff were highly attentive to all guests, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue.

    Hair and Makeup Artist Recommends Elkin's Estate!

    The Elkins Estate is a truly stunning wedding venue. From the beautiful, spacious bridal suite perfect for hair and makeup, to the breathtaking rooms throughout the entire wedding space, every detail is impeccably designed. The venue's great service and attention to every aspect of our client's special day, made it the perfect venue. As a bridal hair and makeup artist, I visit many venues, and I wish every venue had a bridal suite this spacious, with everything a bridal party and the hair and makeup team needs for a smooth wedding morning. I highly recommend the Elkins Estate to any couple looking for a truly exceptional wedding venue. *photos attached are by Asya Photography (also highly recommend)
