About this venue
Portico is a storybook wedding venue located in a 55 acre arboretum in the historic Germantown neighborhood of Northwest Philadelphia. This magical locale is perfect for romantic celebrations. Once the private enclave of an extended Quaker family, the Arboretum is a green oasis in a densely-populated urban environment with the Francis Cope House as its centerpiece. The gracious Quaker stone mansion has floor-to-ceiling windows and a magnificent wrap-around porch from which guests can survey the picturesque English landscape of specimen trees, woods and rolling meadows. Imagine meandering trails, wetlands, open fields and a peaceful pond! The venue's capacity is 160 with outdoor dining on a flagstone patio and white tent encircled by landscaped gardens.

We loved this beautiful venue!
What a beautiful venue! I was so happy to see my vision come to life but having the house and the grounds as a backdrop just made everything that much better. It was beautiful and we had so much space for everything. The team was incredible, I again need to shout out our coordinator Grace, who was just so phenomenal and made sure to help make everything look as we planned. We had our wedding on August 23rd so it was a hot day, and the fans you don’t even notice in the tent were so good it felt like AC! The house wasn’t hot either. The only time we were sweating was when we were dancing all too hard. I am so happy I decided to use this beautiful venue for my wedding.
