John James Audubon Center 

5.0

Audubon, PA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $25,000

Support the legacy of America’s famous conservationist. As the one-time home of John James Audubon, the Audubon Center strives to continue his work by connecting people with nature through his art and the fascinating story of the American conservation movement. The Center provides educational programs to the public regarding the conservation and protection of wildlife habitats and species as well as providing a sanctuary for local bird species. Holding your special event at the John James Audubon Center supports this cause, as a portion of rental proceeds go towards the Center’s wonderful mission. Quietly secluded off Route 422 in Audubon PA, the John J. Audubon Center is just minutes away from the heart of King of Prussia with access to hotels, shopping and major roads.

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!

Welkinweir Estate

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

"Where the sky meets water." A country estate of the first order, Welkinweir is nestled into a hillside of 197 acres in the heart of Chester County. The property takes its name from the Old English translation of "where the sky meets the water." To this end, five ponds and a meandering brook are just the beginning of a true visual feast. Remnants of a 200-year-old stone barn, a springhouse, protected forests, abundant wildlife and a 55-acre arboretum paint a scene of incredible beauty and tranquility. Formal gardens and terraces surround the venerable estate house, its earliest roots traced back to the 1740s. Listed on the National Historic Register, the residence lends a time-honored backdrop for indoor/outdoor events. Welkinweir is the home of Green Valley Watershed Association, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to protect and preserve the water resources of Northern Chester County through advocacy and education.

Welkinweir Estate is the perfect venue for a wedding. From the beginning, Shelly and her team were easy to communicate with, responsive, and incredibly helpful. They answered all of our questions, no matter how small, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The space itself is gorgeous, giving us the elegant garden and estate wedding vibe we were going for. The grounds are beautifully maintained and provides a stunning backdrop for ceremony and photos. What really sold us is their sustainability and conservation initiatives. We are so grateful to Shelly and the Welkinweir team for helping us work towards making our special day truly unforgettable.

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!
