About this venue

The Farmhouse at People’s Light is the premier venue in Chester County for weddings, corporate events, and special celebrations. From our cathedral ceilings and fabulous dance floor to breathtaking ceremony options and endless photo ops throughout the grounds, you’ll find everything you need right here. As a subsidiary of People’s Light, we’re passionate about stories, and we want to be a part of yours. When you choose. Nestled among seven acres of idyllic scenery, our property pairs rustic roots with country charm. Our spaces include our 1700s farmhouse, a modern 200-person ballroom, a hardwood-floored and cathedral-ceilinged, indoor pavilion, all surrounded by our meticulously curated gardens. The newly renovated restaurant occupies three rooms of a 1700s farmhouse, complete with two working fireplaces and surrounded by perennial gardens. Familiarity walks hand in hand with the unexpected; old and new blend to form a timeless ambiance that is comfortable and welcoming.

    We have had the privilege of working at the Farmhouse at People's Light on multiple ocassions and couldn't recommend it more highly. The Farmhouse is such a unique space, with creative locally made art on display and integrated throughout the property, both indoors and out! Some of our favorite features include the cozy bridal suite with a working fireplace and how the event space perfectly flows from indoors to outdoors. Richard & Dawn are two of the kindest and best people to work with in the wedding world, with an ability to help organize a perfect event and keep you smiling through everything. A review wouldn't be complete without also saying that the Farmhouse has some of the BEST food! We are never disappointed in the delicious options.
