If you are looking for a memorable, unique place to host your wedding/reception or another special event, you will be happy to hear that our area offers you several choices. We have several historic Main Line estates that are available for rent. If you would like to be on the water, try Andalusia on the Delaware River. Other estates, like The Merion Tribute House (Merion) and Appleford (Villanova) offer lovely grounds as well. To enjoy a beautiful greenhouse, Fairmount Park’s Horticultural Hall might be more your style. If you prefer a church wedding, but would appreciate a historic venue like Philadelphia’s Christ Church built in 1695. Another Center City, but non-sectarian option is the beautiful beaux-arts building of the College of Physicians, which also houses the unusual (and somewhat macabre) Mutter Museum. Moshulu, the world’s largest four-masted sail boat is a lovely “floating restaurant” and with lights and decorations, a memorable choice. You could go “funky” at South Street’s Magic Gardens, a grotto of ceramic art and poetry. Did you know you can even get married at the Franklin Institute? Stotesbury Mansion, on Rittenhouse Square has long been the site of terrific parties; during Prohibition, its owner installed secret doors and a mirror maze to better conceal illicit reveling! If you want something a little less formal, consider the barn at Landis Valley Museum. For many more options, please click here and here.
