  Grey Towers Castle sits at the heart of Arcadia University's 76-acre campus in Glenside, Pennsylvania, just 12 miles north of Center City Philadelphia. Built in 1898 as the family home of sugar baron William Welsh Harrison, the Castle was designed by architect Horace Trumbauer, who drew inspiration from England's Alnwick Castle and later designed the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1985 and has been named among the most beautiful castles in the U.S. by Architectural Digest. Weddings and private events unfold across the first floor of the Castle, where guests enter the three-story Great Hall beneath a gilded, barrel-vaulted ceiling before moving into the Dining, Rose, and Laura Minerva Korman Mirror rooms. The Mirror Room was crafted in France and features a painted ceiling by Francois Lafon depicting the four seasons, while the Rose Room reflects the ornamentation of Louis XV-era architecture. Two outdoor patios flank the Castle, along with wraparound porches and turrets, offering additional space for photos and cocktail hours. Beyond the Castle, Arcadia's campus offers further event space, including the Commons Great Room and the Kuch Center Gymnasium, suited to conferences, graduations, and large gatherings. Event packages include in-house audio/visual options, a day-of event services coordinator, dedicated parking, and on-site catering through Metz Catering.

  The Carlisle Vault

  • Spaces for 150-220 Guests
  • 1 Event Space
  • 1 Ballroom
  • 1 Historic Space

  The Carlisle Vault occupies a beautifully refurbished 1816 bank building on the northeast corner of Carlisle, Pennsylvania's town square. The building saw continuous banking service — first as the Carlisle Bank, then from 1846 as the Carlisle Deposit Bank & Trust Company — before closing its doors in 2007. In 2011 it was reimagined as a one-of-a-kind event venue, preserving details like hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling arched windows, chandeliers, and a balcony. The original 1890 vault now serves as an entryway into the reception hall, and its safe deposit boxes were built into the bar area for a distinctive touch. The venue is owned and operated by Ross Morris, Laura Portillo, Ryan, and Helena Twigg through their hospitality group, A Party of 4, which also runs several Carlisle restaurants including Café Bruges, Helena's Chocolate Café & Creperie, and Piatto. That hospitality background carries into The Carlisle Vault, where the team works with clients to customize each rental — from a do-it-yourself approach to full complementing bar and catering services — for weddings, corporate events, showers, and meetings in the heart of downtown Carlisle.

  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.

For private events, the second-floor banquet room offers a private entrance, deck, bar, and restrooms beneath its gabled ceiling and timber frame, hosting anywhere from 30 to 140 guests.
