Joseph Ambler Inn spans twelve acres of gardens and rolling meadows in North Wales, Pennsylvania, less than an hour from Philadelphia on the border of Bucks and Montgomery Counties. The property is made up of five historic buildings, including the 1734 Farmhouse, the 1820 Stone Bank Barn, and the 1794 John Roberts House, the last of which was relocated two miles to the property in 2003. Now marking 40 years in operation, the inn has grown from a small bed-and-breakfast into a 52-room hotel with a full restaurant and bar. The inn offers five distinct event spaces suited to gatherings from 10 to 200 guests, from intimate fireside ceremonies for up to 40 to the combined Bonnymeade and Wheelwright banquet rooms, which can host up to 200. The Fieldstone Room, set within the Stone Bank Barn, keeps its original exposed stone walls and hardwood floors, while the Farmhouse and John Roberts House offer smaller, more intimate settings for cocktail receptions and dinners. Joseph Ambler Inn hosts weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings, with an outdoor ceremony lawn and optional canopied pavilion available for outdoor celebrations.

Stenton is an 18th-century colonial mansion in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood, built and passed down through six generations of the Logan family beginning with James Logan, a prominent colonial figure and confidant of William Penn. The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in Pennsylvania has stewarded the property since 1899, and the City of Philadelphia has charged the organization with preserving Stenton as a National Historic Landmark. The house retains period rooms furnished with the Logan family's own collection, spanning William and Mary through Chippendale styles, along with early American textiles and a c.1730 portrait of James Logan attributed to Gustavus Hesselius displayed on the stair landing. Behind the mansion, a Colonial Revival garden offers a landscaped setting that reinterprets an 18th-century garden in the tradition of Deborah Logan's own stewardship. Beyond its exhibitions and educational programming, Stenton is available for private rentals, hosting customized tours, private parties, picnics, and photography and film shoots on its grounds. Renters have access to designated areas of the historic mansion and its landscaped grounds, set against the backdrop of one of Philadelphia's oldest surviving colonial estates.

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.
