The Grand Tent accommodates up to 400 guests and is typically available from mid-April through mid-November, while the Carriage House and Ballroom provide year-round, climate-controlled options for smaller weddings and events. A fully-furnished bridal suite and groom's lounge inside the mansion give the wedding party a place to prepare on the day of the event.

Couples receive exclusive use of the property on their wedding day. Since December 2025, the estate has been under the stewardship of Eric and Jerissa Warfel, who continue the tradition of hospitality established by the Steinman family and, later, by longtime owners Bill and Karyn Regitz.

  Operating since 1745, the General Warren Inn is a historic tavern-turned-inn in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in the heart of Chester County's Great Valley. The property began as the "Sign of Admiral Vernon" and later took its current name in honor of Dr. Joseph Warren, a Revolutionary War figure killed at Bunker Hill; over the centuries it has served as a stagecoach stop on the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, a Seventh-Day worship gathering point, and a temperance hotel before its 1984 restoration brought back its 18th-century character. Today the inn combines eight guest suites with several distinct event settings, including a main dining room, the Warren Tavern, and the Spring House Terrace, a secluded outdoor space built around a 275-year-old springhouse. The terrace's lower level is partially enclosed and heated for year-round use, while "Table 1745," set inside the historic springhouse itself, offers intimate seating for up to six guests with full bar and restroom access nearby.
