I have photographed multiple weddings at Bellevue Hall, and it is by far one of my favorite venues to work at!

I love watching the horses frolic while the most stunning sunsets fall behind the reception tent. The venue and catering staff are the best in the industry and treat all couples, guests, and vendors like royalty. And the food is absolutely delicious!

Rosewood Farms 

4.7

Elkton, MD
  • Up to 275 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Originally a cow and poultry farm, the previous owners had run the property as a winery before Rick purchased it in May of 2017. After seeing the property, its luscious landscape, and the rustic charm of the original buildings, Rick had a vision. He saw the property transformed into a modern, chic space that maintained the history and character of the original farm. More importantly, he imagined bringing others’ visions to life with a beautiful and unique setting for weddings and private events.

My (now!) husband, Matt and I, had our DREAM wedding at Rosewood this winter. From intro tour to married - the entire process was so easy and fun. Their preferred vendor list is perfect - does a lot of the upfront work for you. All of my vendors knocked it out of the park. Not to mention, how GORGEOUS is Rosewood? Beautiful and HUGE suite to get ready in with all of my girls. The guys had a blast playing pool and video games while getting ready. We had so much gush over the cocktail hour space from our guests - which is conveniently both indoor and outdoor friendly. We danced the night away during the reception. So much room for everyone to mingle. The space is a blank slate that gives you so much room to make the décor your own. The photo booth was one of the highlights for us, we loved getting all of the photos after the fact. Have your wedding at Rosewood, it's the best and easiest decision you'll make!

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at the Carriage house! It has been taken over by Prime Hospitality catering who did an amazing job from start to finish! Our guests raved over the food, waitstaff, and bartenders! Katie and her team took care of every single aspect of our wedding which allowed my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party to be stress free and enjoy the day! I could go on and on about how amazing our wedding day was! Not a single thing went wrong, Katie and her team decorated the venue beautifully, the service was fantastic, and our guests continue to reach out about how beautiful the wedding venue was. It was better than I could’ve ever expected! I hope that the Carriage House starts to see an increase in weddings at their venue because they are truly amazing at their job! Katie coordinated and helped me with planning the wedding out from day 1. She worked relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure we had a great day. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had and I’m not just saying that because I had my wedding here. The restaurant associated with the caterers “Brandywine Prime” makes amazing food. I will admit when initially wedding planning I was unsure of the carriage house due to the lack of online presence and photos of recent weddings. It is truly a hidden gem and definitely worth considering for your wedding day!!

Tori and her team were fantastic to work with throughout the wedding planning process, answering every question we had, and working to make the weekend so special from start to finish. They are true professionals and thought of every detail. The property is so beautiful, not the mention the incredible wine and delicious food. It brings a sentimentality and Pennsylvania charm that is unmatched by other wedding venues. We can’t wait to come back and spend time here as a married couple.

Lindsay and her team are amazing! They told us that if all we wanted to do was show up with our dress and suit we could, or we can make as many choices as we want… We opted for making choices on things that mattered to us and let them do the rest. Boy did they deliver!!!! The venue was beautiful and well prepared for our day! They worked with us within our budget and made our day absolutely perfect…My husband and I both said we want to get married again every day as long as they are in charge. The food, cake, and beverages were amazing! By far the best wedding food I’ve ever had and our guests agreed. Lindsay and Vicky took great care in every detail of our day to make sure it reflected us and they took great care to ensure we were not stressed at all…it was truly amazing! Again, my husband and I both were so happy and grateful for all of their hard work and commitment to us having the perfect day! We’re anxiously awaiting our professional photos, but here are some from family and friends!

PARQUE 

5.0

Newtown Square, PA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $28,750

Parque is a dream venue in 2600-acre Ridley Creek State Park. Ponds, fountains, stonework and open fields surround the majestic English-Tudor stone mansion known as Hunting Hill. And only twenty-five minutes from the Philadelphia Airport and the Main Line. The fully climate-controlled venue includes a spacious wedding suite suite, grand staircase, and ballroom with oak paneling, floor-to ceiling windows, stone fireplace, and ceiling in plaster relief. Featuring only one event per day, Parque can accommodate 150 guests with dancing. Delicious cuisine handcrafted by boutique Peachtree Catering and Events. With customized full-service event-planning. Ask us your questions. We are here to help you!

I was so excited when I found this venue and the experience did not disappoint. I definitely underestimated the time and stress involved in planning a wedding, but Peachtree Catering makes it so easy. You met our designated Peachtree coordinator at our menu tasting and that kicked off all the detail start work: food and drink options, color schemes, linens, etc. and they will work directly with your additional vendors (DJ, florist, etc.). Everything is really organized and easy, from digital look books, to table setting mock-ups, all of the little details were already thought of, we just needed to make selections based on our personal style. I can't emphasize enough how awesome the staff is - the day went perfectly, the food was fantastic, the table settings and service were perfect, I can't think of any detail that was overlooked! Our day of rockstars were Ashley and George who made sure we were fed, got to taste every appetizer, and I don't think there was an empty water or wine glass all night!
