Absolutely fell in love with the Morris Arboretum the first time we viewed it as a possible wedding venue in February. There were no beautiful f flowers bloomed and the trees had lost their leaves BUT it was still perfect and stunning. The day of our wedding as we drove up to the venue I started to cry bc it was so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Not only is it perfect scenic view but the crew omg even better, they have your back, they make it look effortless, it’s just the perfect most magical place.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Colonial Dames, and I can't express enough how incredible Adrianna was throughout the entire process. From our very first meeting, she was exceptionally thoughtful and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure our vision came to life. Adrianna’s attention to detail made all the difference. She listened to our ideas and provided valuable suggestions, making us feel supported every step of the way. On the big day, the space looked absolutely stunning! Adrianna transformed it into a beautiful and inviting atmosphere that exceeded our expectations. We truly could not have done it without her. Her dedication and passion for her work shone through, and we felt so grateful to have her by our side. If you’re looking for someone who will make your event extraordinary, I highly recommend reaching out to Adrianna at Colonial Dames! Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Venue considerations

We booked out the Guild House for two nights during our wedding weekend, and it was one of the very best decisions we made throughout the entire planning process. We used the space to get ready before the wedding, for our after party, and for a brunch the following morning. The staff was there for anything we needed, and then stayed out of the way so the place felt like it was all ours. You truly have the entire place to yourself, and it feels like an enormous home for you and your closest friends/family rather than a hotel. The rooms are some of the most luxurious in the city, and easily the best for the price. 10/10 would recommend incorporating the Guild House into any part of your wedding weekend.

  • Up to 500 guests

At the heart of the thriving early industrial community known as Rittenhouse Town, the first paper mill in America was built. It all began when, in 1687, papermaker William Rittenhouse followed other Quaker and Mennonite families emigrating to the newly formed neighborhood of Germantown (founded in 1683). William partnered with Philadelphia’s first printer, purchased a 20-acre plot of land along Paper Mill Run (a tributary of the Wissahickon Creek) and, with the help of his son Nicholas, built the first paper mill in British North America that otherwise could only be delivered from England. For the next 40 years, the Rittenhouse family were the only papermakers in America.
