The Old School Meetinghouse is a historic two-story meetinghouse in Southampton, Pennsylvania, built by Baptist congregants in 1772 on land tied to Quaker settler John Hart, a First Purchaser who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1682. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building was enlarged in 1814 and has remained largely unchanged since, having served as a house of worship for over three centuries. David Jones, who served as a Revolutionary War chaplain, and Silas Durand, the meetinghouse's last resident minister, are among the notable figures tied to its history. Today the meetinghouse hosts wedding ceremonies of any denomination, set on grounds of flowering and mature trees. Tamanend Park sits just across the road, offering couples a nearby setting for photographs. The surrounding area also provides access to country clubs, hotels, catering facilities, bed and breakfast inns, and Bucks County wineries for couples planning a full celebration. The Southampton Chamber Music Society is available to provide musical accompaniment, from strings to bagpipes, for ceremonies held at the meetinghouse. The venue is closed seasonally from November 15 through March 31 each year.

The Figure 8 Barn sits on the grounds of Bellevue State Park, a 271-acre former DuPont family estate tucked into suburban Wilmington, Delaware. The barn takes its name from its distinctive hourglass shape — an architectural curiosity designed by William du Pont, Jr. as an indoor horse training facility for the family's equestrian interests. Delaware acquired the estate in 1976, and the barn has since become one of the region's most flexible large-event venues. The barn's 32,000 square feet of open space can accommodate more than 3,000 guests and can be divided for more intimate gatherings. A raised dance floor and stage anchor the main floor, while large bay doors provide easy access for oversized equipment, themed installations, and trade show displays. A long hallway running through the structure offers a blank canvas for creative décor. The Figure 8 Barn hosts weddings, festivals, trade shows, conferences, reunions, and celebrations of all types.
