The Queen Theater was the perfect location for an alternative bride. I absolutely loved this venue from top to bottom. I first walked in for a show when I was in my 20s, and immediately told my sister, 'I’m getting married here!' It was even more perfect than I could have imagined—gorgeous and beyond my wildest dreams. I received so many compliments on the venue. The acoustics were perfect, the dance floor popping, and everything was just awesome. Highly recommend this stunning spot for anyone looking for something unique! Maren was the absolute best - sadly she is leaving for a new job opportunity, so hopefully they find someone as wonderful as her. Allison and everyone else we dealt with were also a joy to work with. Can't go wrong here. All photos credited to Darby Shaye Photography

My husband and I were so pleased with our reception at CCHC. Working with Cyndi Meadows, we were able to put on a fun, personalized reception for which we received rave reviews from family and friends. Cyndi answered our many questions and was responsive to our needs. Our guests loved the venue, with cocktails outside on the terrace along with the option to browse the museum collections. The auditorium space accommodated about 100 guests for a buffet dinner and dancing very well. With our DJ's lights, floral arrangements, and some additional decor, we turned the basic, blank slate of the auditorium into a vibrant, colorful space. Proximity to the Chestnut Street parking garage and the Hotel Warner are huge bonuses for this a unique venue in the borough of West Chester. The venue costs are very reasonable when looking at other local venues, plus you provide your own alcohol here which provides further savings. We happily partnered with one of their preferred caterers, Limoncello, who provided abundant, delicious food and excellent service. If you want a unique, convenient, and affordable venue for your wedding reception, do not hesitate to check out CCHC!!

Kind and calm when planning had us most fried, they worked with us to create exactly what we wanted for the day.

Landis Valley Farm & Museum was the absolute perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception! We knew when we were looking at venues that we wanted it in a barn setting and for the place to have a laid-back, fun, and casual feel. Landis was exactly that and more! Not only is the site maintained with the utmost care, but every building at the farm is so exquisitely quaint and beautifully rustic. Such a gorgeous place as a whole, especially for pictures during our big day. We knew during our very first meeting with Katelyn, our venue coordinator, that we were in good hands. Katelyn was experienced, professional, knowledgeable, and available by email at what seemed like the drop of a hat for all of our questions, big or small, leading up to our day. She was extremely organized and clear on expectations of what we should anticipate in having an event here. Like for example, making it clear from the day we scoped out the venue that it is an a la carte type venue, and we would be responsible for reaching out to all vendors that we would want to hire. She did provide a list of vendors that past weddings had used, which was extremely helpful, and we were lucky to find a few from that list, along with the others that we researched on our own. Katelyn’s attentiveness even the week of our wedding was so comforting. Along with our day of coordinator (that we hired from Fancy Peacock), Katelyn assisted in executing a check-in schedule for all of our vendors the day of, and everything went so smoothly! Landis does provide two attendants, one during the day and one night, who oversee the property - thanks, Dave and Elliot! Overall, if you don’t mind some DIY, and finding most vendors on your own like my husband and I, Landis makes for a dream come true wedding venue!

The museum was an air conditioned, spacious room that comfortably accommodated our 60 guests. We loved being able to take photos with the historic trains as a backdrop. The B&O staff, especially Kathy, ensured the room was properly set up, clean, and ready for our event. From start to finish, they made the experience nearly flawless. It was a beautiful, family-friendly atmosphere that lent itself well to celebration. I would highly recommend the B&O Railroad Museum as a unique and memorable wedding venue.

Our wedding day was something out of a dream, and my husband and I cannot stop talking about it over one month later. The Penn Museum was absolutely the highlight of our wedding. From the ceremony space (Sphinx gallery!), to our cocktail hour (Pepper Hall), dinner in the Chinese Rotunda, and dancing with the mummies… the whole thing was breathtaking from start to finish. It was everything I had imagined and I wish we could do it over and over again. Atiya was simply the best, and I know I will be reminiscing on this day for years to come.
