HollyHedge Estate is an 18th-century farm and estate perched above the Delaware River near New Hope, Pennsylvania, in historic Bucks County. The original stone structure was built in the 1780s by carpenter Watson Fell, whose family farmed the land for nearly 240 years; in the 1930s, former Trenton Times editor James Kerney transformed the property into a private estate, adding the ornate English gardens that still shape its grounds today. The Luccaro family has owned HollyHedge since 1994. Couples and corporate groups can choose from indoor and outdoor ceremony options across the property, including the courtyard and the Historic Stone Barn for cocktail hour, and a modern event space for formal receptions. HollyHedge's in-house planning team and catering staff handle every wedding on site, preparing seasonal menus with local farmers and distributors, and a liquor license allows the estate to offer bar service as part of its wedding packages. The Estate also operates The Inn at HollyHedge, 15 guest rooms set in the original manor house and fieldstone outbuildings, giving wedding guests a place to stay just steps from the celebration. The property runs on solar energy and grows some of its own produce for the kitchen, reflecting the sustainability focus the current owners have brought to the estate's long history.
