  • 1 Meeting Space

  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. Meals are served in the air-conditioned Dining Hall, and events can spread across spaces like The Dell, an amphitheater-style venue that holds more than 600 people outdoors, and The Lodge, an air-conditioned building that seats 120 for smaller gatherings. Saniford Hall offers updated sound and lighting for shows and dances. Beyond the ceremony and reception, the grounds give groups access to camp-style recreation not typically found at an event venue: two pools with a water slide, a 60-foot climbing wall, an aerial adventure course, archery, go-karts, and canoeing on Big Elk Creek. On-site retreat professionals help oversee logistics from arrival through departure, and the camp can accommodate everything from corporate picnics and leadership retreats to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and reunions.

  Trout Lake sits on a 500-acre private property along a 100-acre lake in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, about an hour and a half from New York City and two hours from Philadelphia. The venue's owners purchased the property in 1991 to run a summer sports camp, and the off-season retreat center they opened alongside it has grown into today's wedding and event venue. Couples can choose from several distinct ceremony sites around the property, from lakeside views to a wooded setting or a rustic pavilion, each fully private since Trout Lake hosts only one wedding per day. Cocktail hour takes place in the Mountain View Room, which opens onto an outdoor deck overlooking the lake, before guests move to the Lake View Center for the reception. Completed in 2015, the Lake View Center seats up to 250 guests and includes a dedicated space for a DJ and dance floor, a full bar, and buffet or plated meal service. Trout Lake operates as a full-service venue with its own culinary team and a Pennsylvania State Liquor Control Board license, offering plated, buffet, and themed-station menu options along with beer, wine, and premium bar packages. Beyond weddings, the property also hosts retreats, corporate gatherings, school events, and other private celebrations, with indoor and outdoor spaces including a boathouse and covered woodland pavilion available for rehearsal dinners and smaller gatherings.

  The Venue at Chester County History Center occupies a historic complex in downtown West Chester, Pennsylvania, blending two distinctive 19th- and early 20th-century buildings. Horticultural Hall, designed by architect Thomas U. Walter and built in 1848, once hosted the Chester County Horticultural Society and served as the West Chester Opera House; it stands alongside the former YMCA building, a 1908 structure designed by Philadelphia architect Charles Barton Keen. A 1990s restoration returned the High Street facade to its original Colonial Revival appearance, and the combined 56,000-square-foot complex now houses the museum's exhibition galleries, library, and research areas alongside its event spaces. Surrounded by six galleries of Chester County and Southern Pennsylvania history, the venue accommodates weddings and receptions, corporate parties and conferences, fundraising events, milestone celebrations, and small meetings. It is fully handicapped accessible with complimentary WiFi throughout. Wedding packages can include use of the full rental venue, access to the museum, a wedding suite, day-of coordination, choice of caterer from a preferred list, tables and chairs, a dance floor, and a tent for the terrace. The venue offers discounted rental rates for non-profit organizations hosting fundraisers. Its location in the heart of downtown West Chester puts guests within walking distance of Hotel Warner, garage parking, boutique shops, galleries, and restaurants, and minutes from major Brandywine Valley attractions.

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. Both the meeting room and dining room take in scenic mountain views and sunsets, and the group can gather around a large stone fireplace in the dining room or spread out on a wooden deck. 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 Beaumont Inn sits on 50 acres of the Back Mountain in Dallas, Pennsylvania — a setting the name itself nods to, drawn from "beau-mont," or beautiful mountain. Built in 1948 and extensively renovated after Robert Friedman acquired the property in 2013, the Inn pairs a fine-dining restaurant and ten individually designed guest rooms with grounds shaped for events: a botanical garden with more than 200 plant varieties in bloom from March through November, and a two-tiered, 3,500-square-foot flagstone patio and terrace overlooking Leonard's Creek, warmed by gas fire pits and café lighting.

  Water Works

  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.

  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.
