The Golden Pheasant Inn is a historic riverside inn and restaurant in Erwinna, Pennsylvania, set along the Delaware River and the old canal towpath in Bucks County. The property traces back to 1811, when Waterman's Inn was built to serve farmers hauling grain along the river road; the current main building dates to 1856, rebuilt after fire destroyed the original tavern, and the inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Jack Thompson's family purchased the property in 2019 and reopened it in 2020. The inn offers French-inspired cuisine served in a handful of distinct spaces: a fireplace-warmed dining room, a solarium with canal and river views, and a stone canal patio and bistro garden shaded by trees. That range of settings, from cozy and firelit to bright and glassed-in to open-air along the water, makes the inn suited to everything from formal dinners and sit-down luncheons to casual cocktail parties. Beyond dining, the property includes four individually themed guest suites for overnight stays, with breakfast served the following morning, and full bar service on site.

Camp Saginaw sits on more than 300 wooded acres in Chester County, Pennsylvania, about an hour south of Philadelphia and an hour north of Baltimore. Family-owned and operated since 1927, the property has spent nearly a century as a summer camp, and that same land now hosts weddings, picnics and parties, and weekend retreats through its Saginaw Retreats program. Couples can book the camp for a full wedding weekend, with guests arriving Friday for a rehearsal dinner, a Saturday ceremony and reception, and departing after Sunday brunch and activities.

Saniford Hall offers updated sound and lighting for shows and dances.

The Parsonage Barn is a c. 1741 historic structure preserved by the Cranbury Historical & Preservation Society in Cranbury, New Jersey.

Its hand-hewn white oak timbers—salvaged from the original 18th-century structure—remain visible throughout the interior. The barn accommodates up to 80 guests and is available for seasonal events in spring, summer, and fall. Wedding ceremonies are among the occasions it hosts; the setting lends itself to intimate ceremonies and photography sessions grounded in genuine colonial history. As a working historic site, the structure does not have electricity, heat, water, or restroom facilities on site.

Brookside Country Club has anchored the Macungie, Pennsylvania community since 1929, when a vision among friends grew into a family-oriented club at the base of South Mountain. Its 18-hole championship golf course was designed that same founding year by architect Frank Meehan, and nearly a century later the club balances that heritage with updated amenities, including an Olympic-size pool, tennis facilities, a fitness center, and on-site dining. For weddings and private events, Brookside books only one celebration per day, allowing its dedicated event team to focus fully on a couple's timeline rather than dividing attention across multiple functions. Ceremonies can take place on 5,000 square feet of terrace with South Mountain as a backdrop, with French doors connecting the terrace to indoor space for a seamless flow between outdoor vows and indoor reception.
