  Water Works

  640 Waterworks Dr, Philadelphia, PA 19130, USA

  • Spaces for 400 Guests
  • 1 Event Space

  Water Works formerly drew visitors from all over the world, including Charles Dickens, who commended the "pleasing design" of the building for its blend of graceful Neoclassical architecture on the outside with then-revolutionary technology on the inside. Columned walkways, a vintage gazebo, the Art Museum perched dramatically above, and Boathouse Row stretched out along the Schuylkill River just beyond are some of the features that contribute to the Water Works' status as one of the city's most picturesque settings. Today, the Water Works offers lavish interior spaces that are replete with rich contemporary luxury. Adding an outdoor ceremony to your reception is something that should come as no surprise given the famous views, classically exquisite structures, groomed fields, and gardens that are all around you. The Water Works is home to a diverse range of environments, the likes of which are not often found in a single venue. The breathtaking scenery, tasteful architecture, and beautifully manicured grounds make it an obvious decision to hold the ceremony and reception outside.

  Nelson Lodge sits at the highest point on the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center property in Bangor, Pennsylvania, perched on the Kittatinny Ridge with views over the surrounding countryside and Pocono foothills. It's the uppermost of Kirkridge's rental facilities, built for groups of 16 to 27 people gathering for retreats, meetings, and private events between mid-March and mid-December.

The Appalachian Trail runs adjacent to the property, offering an easy option for a hike between sessions. A freestanding efficiency cottage next door was once the home-away-from-home of priest and activist Fr. Daniel Berrigan. The lodge includes a fully equipped kitchen, twin-bed sleeping rooms, and two large meeting rooms with countryside views, plus a common room in the upper sleeping area.

  The Camelot Event Center sits on a five-acre, tree-lined lot in Wexford, tucked away from the surrounding area for a private, sole-use setting — only one event is held per facility per day, so couples and hosts never share space, restrooms, or a soundtrack with another party. The venue's Main Ballroom spans 4,000 square feet and accommodates 70 to 225 guests, with large chandeliers, a wood dance floor, customizable colored lighting, and a subtly raised stage suited to head tables or presentations. For smaller gatherings and cocktail hours, the Lounge offers a more flexible 35-to-55-guest space with its own full-service bar and rich decor. Outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours can also be held in the property's private, level, wooded grove, just steps from the reception space. Husband-and-wife team Ryan and Valerie Sarel now lead the venue, continuing its long history in the area. Chef Ryan, trained at the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, oversees an onsite kitchen offering passed hors d'oeuvres, buffets, and sit-down dinners, while Valerie brings over a decade of event management experience to each celebration, from weddings to anniversaries, showers, and holiday parties.

  Springwood Manor is a renovated century-old stone estate set on wooded hills just outside Pittsburgh in Verona, Pennsylvania. The property began as a farmhouse built around 1870 and was later home to horticulturist Herbert Hoechstetter, whose landscaping business shaped the grounds and whose additions—a sandstone facade, cherry wood paneling, and a fireplace mantle built from an old barn's support beams—still define the house today. A three-year renovation transformed the property into the event venue it is now, framed by Japanese larch, maples, pin oak, chestnut, holly, copper beech, and bamboo. The Manor hosts indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies, receptions, and corporate events for up to 270 guests. Ceremony sites include Garden Square, with its pergola and separate entrances for the bridal party; the Stone Patio; the Gazebo nestled among the trees; and the Glass Atrium, used for winter ceremonies. The vaulted-ceiling Pavilion, with its scissor trusses and chandeliers, serves as both a reception space for music and dancing and the venue's rain plan. A wooden, three-tier rear deck wraps the back of the stone house and connects to the surrounding grounds. Receptions include an on-site event manager, in-house chef and wait staff, full catering, and access to the entire facility—Manor House, Atrium, Pavilion, Rear Deck, and grounds—with no facility fee for events of 100 or more guests. The same grounds and structures also host business meetings, corporate retreats, and holiday parties.

  Old Economy Village is a historic site in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, that preserves the legacy of the Harmony Society, a 19th-century religious community founded by George Rapp. Its centerpiece is a two-acre garden established in 1824, laid out in a formal style inspired by German monastery grounds and palace courtyards Rapp encountered before emigrating from Germany, and still planted with vineyards, heirloom vegetables, roses, and other perennial flowering ornamentals along stone pathways and a stone pavilion. The village opens several of its historic buildings and grounds for private events, including weddings, galas, fundraisers, birthday parties, corporate meetings, and photography sessions. The George Rapp Garden hosts garden ceremonies from mid-April through mid-October, while the Feast Hall, a communal dining and music space built in 1827 on the second floor of the Natural History Museum building, and the first floor of the five-story Granary barn offer indoor options for receptions and gatherings of varying sizes. A modern Visitor Center classroom rounds out the venue's spaces for smaller meetings and events.
