Guaranteed to be the most fun and unique wedding there is! The location is beautiful and has various options for ceremony and cocktail hour, plus Canopy Gardens Hall is a beautiful building. You get all the charm of an outdoor wedding, without having to over-decorate a bland reception tent. There are plenty of nearby hotels for ease of out-of-town guests which makes transportation more simple. Most importantly, Becky and her staff are out-of-this-world awesome. Not only are they fun, but they are patient, and understanding, and work hard to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible rain or shine! Bonus, booking with Elmwood supports Zoo Operations. If you're spending money on a wedding, some should go back to a good cause if it can right?

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!!

The Drexelbrook was absolutely amazing! We worked with Sydney and Jeannie, and they made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. They were always willing to accommodate any request we had and were incredibly attentive to detail. The food and drinks were excellent. We are so happy we chose a full-service wedding venue like The Drexelbrook for our big day. They even packed up our leftover food and wedding cake at the end of the night. 10/10 would recommend!

The communication with Springfield Country Club was prompt and clear throughout the entire wedding planning process! The space was timeless and classy, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. Milton was ready with blankets for the golf cart and always checking in with us in case we needed anything, and Nancy was always delightful and on top of everything that needed to be done. Our best man wasn’t able to attend due to deployment and the co-best man coordinated a video to play during the speech, the process day of was seamless and we are thankful he was able to say some words on our wedding day! We had such a great time working with Nancy and the entire Springfield Country Club team - the entire wedding was perfect!

Stunning venue - the display garden is truly a one in a million place to get married. We initially planned to have our cocktail hour outdoors as we wanted to highlight the reflecting pool but unfortunately the weather didn’t permit - we had cocktail hour inside and it was still incredible. The whole team there was impressive and the food was truly delicious. My standards for wedding food are pretty low but it was excellent, and many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (and they’d eat it again if they could). The whole team was lovely to work with. So, so glad we got married here!!
