Venues & Event Spaces near Chesterbrook, PA

“I have photographed many lovely weddings at the Duportail House in Chesterbrook, PA. This property is gorgeous for a wedding! Perfect backdrops for photography include an old barn, a porch with ornate fencing, a bridge with a creek, old trees, and manicured gardens. You step back in time in this 1740 farmhouse. The bride and groom had their cocktail hour before the ceremony, and then the ceremony behind the old barn. The light swept across the barn perfectly and was stunning on the bride's face during their vows. This charming venue is run efficiently and is a historical treasure. Perfect for an intimate wedding!”

“Jumpers was fabulous for my daughter's fifth birthday party! Everything was really well organized and super easy for us as the hosts, and our guests had a great time. Thank you again for a great experience!”

“the gem is the perfect place to catch a show! the sound in there is amazing. and the experience is so intimate. you really feel a connection with the artists that is so often lost these days.”

“My husband and I cannot say enough positives about Loch Aerie Mansion. The mansion is incredibly beautiful and elegant. You can feel the history as you walk through the mansion. The team that works with Loch Aerie, including John Serock Catering, VB Ellen Design, and The Master’s Baker, were all phenomenal to work with and made the wedding of our dreams come true. The food was incredible, the decor and flowers were beautiful, and our cake was out of a fairytale (and absolutely delicious!). We had our ceremony indoors at Christmastime and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue. The bridal/groom suites are perfect for getting ready, and the transformation from elegant ceremony space to fun dance floor was perfect! We loved that our guests could move throughout the mansion during the night, so that older guests like grandparents and great aunts & uncles weren’t stuck in the room with the DJ and could sit on luxurious couches in the front rooms to chat and drink coffee. Our experience with Loch Aerie goes beyond the beauty of the space; the owner, Dana, has really created a community, and it has been great to enter that community and attend Loch Aerie’s annual Christmas party! Loch Aerie isn’t just a venue - it felt like it was “ours” for the night - and we were so excited for our friends and family to see it! Our wedding felt stress-free and we spent the entire day enjoying ourselves due to the well-oiled machine that is the team at Loch Aerie!”

“Ceremony off site but reception at terrain! And I meannnnn, idk, what can’t I say about them?! Everything, and I mean everything, was amazing. Guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was (shoutout to the chefs!), drinks were amazing (people said the espresso martini was the best they’ve ever had!), and just their overall experience. I don’t have enough adjectives to describe how great the day was. My husband and I’s experience was also amazing from the moment we toured. We got Eileen as our event manager and she truly needs a review of her own but hands down the best person ever, she was so organized, and also very personable. She literally handled any and all hiccups that happened along the way (like when my photobooth didnt show up) and she found a solution instantly, I am so grateful for her. Fernanda my wedding attendant was also amazing, whole staff honestly was great. Terrain was the most perfect reception space for us and we (along with all of our guests) wish we could do it all over again!! It was truly the best day. Will be coming back to the cafe for many anniversary years to come ?”

“I had such a wonderful afternoon exploring this place recently. The grounds are absolutely massive and incredibly well-maintained, with so many different paths to wander through and discover. It was the perfect escape to get out into nature for a while, and the diversity of the trees and plants is really impressive. I would highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a peaceful and scenic spot to spend some time outdoors.”

“The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve was everything we could have dreamed of and more for our wedding day. From the very beginning, our wedding coordinator, Jordan made us feel genuinely cared for, paying attention to every detail and making the planning process feel effortless every step of the way. As the big day approached, Nikki, our incredible maître d’, was our calm in the chaos. She ensured everything ran flawlessly and allowed us to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment without stress. Her assistant Ashley and our bridal attendant Sydney were beyond attentive, constantly checking in and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. On top of all of that, our guests are still raving about the food — from cocktail hour to dinner, everything was absolutely amazing and exceeded expectations. The level of love, care, and professionalism shown by the entire team is something we will never forget. We truly couldn’t recommend this venue more — it made our wedding day absolutely perfect.”

“My husband and I had the most incredible wedding day at Philander Chase Knox Estate in June of 2025! The venue is absolutely beautiful with the most scenic backdrop, nestled in Valley Forge National Park. The tent provided an incredible open and airy space to celebrate with all of our loved ones. The valet parking was perfect for guest parking and the staff was incredible. We could not recommend Philander Chase Knox Estate enough!”

“We were so incredibly happy with everything on our wedding day. Everyone at Franklin Commons and Drexelbrook were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond in making our day special. The venue, food, and cocktails are still being raved about every time we talk with someone who was at the wedding. Everyone was so attentive to our needs and wants, especially Valentina. Working with both Kim and Hannah felt more like being with family then a strictly professional relationship, which was so important for us when choosing vendors. I am so glad we met Hannah at the wedding expo and will forever recommend Franklin Commons and Drexelbrook!”

“Went for a wedding at the Parque venue it was a wonderful experience I enjoyed it very much. I just wish there was just more information about the house and the grounds on hand. One eventually found a little booklet which told me all about it very interesting. Good little day trip to see the grounds. FYI..there is no wifi & cell phone service was sporadic on AT&T and our friend who had Verizon was the same.”

“I met my Spring Hollow Golf league friends for Brunch today.
As always, the food was delicious.
We started by sharing the Creme Brule French Toast. It was fantastic.
3 of us had the Tempura Fried Eggs.
They are a perfectly cooked soft egg, then it is dipped in a Tempura batter and fried. When you cut into them the yolk is still perfect, they are served over a Tomato, Braised Leek Herb Cream Sauce. They are delicious.
The other two ladies had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and the Classic Eggs Benedict which they both enjoyed.
All of us enjoyed the Mimosas.
If you haven't been here, you have to try it. You won't be disappointed whether it is Brunch, Lunch or Dinner.”

“I choose joy! #JOY #FEAR be gone!
And people places and things that bring me joy!
Today I planned take my delicious healthy keto lunch in a beautiful Park in West Town called
Oak
I don't know and wasn't as concerned with the history but it's pristine beautiful lands and a well-preserved building and just a good quiet place to go for a walk and take my healthy lunch. Although a number of other people had the same idea it was very quiet and very pleasant!

And you know how sometimes you get fears going in your head and waste a lot of time? Well mother Nature finally called and I begrudgingly stealed myself for the porta potty experience only to discover it was the cleanest neatest odor free and bright red portapotty I had ever seen or used LOL...
So so much for f e a r future expectations appearing real!
At this park even a porta-potty is part of the positive experience LOL
And as I enjoyed the gentle breeze with all four windows down (my car off, no AC), my sinuses began to act up and I feared once again that I would have to leave and that allergies might become a new thing for me, but lo and behold the homeopathic remedy I brought along with me worked wonders and sneezing and dripping gave way to relaxed peaceful enjoyment!
Joy can be found in tiny moments like this it doesn't need to be a momentous occasion or experience...does it?
I can take a lifetime to unlearn patterns of thinking that jump to conclusions including and especially negative ones, but the journe, and it's different destination, are so worth it!
And it's so nice that Pennsylvania is getting back to warm sunny days today is 81° and gorgeous! #YAYPA!
Do you have a funny story about something you feared that turned out to be complete nonsense, and not worth wasting your precious JOY on?”

“I recently got married at Anthony Wayne House - what a wonderful experience! I could not have asked for a better wedding venue or overall experience. Lynn was our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! She was prompt when answering our questions and made sure our wedding day went seamlessly. She helped to make our wedding planning easy and stress-free. It did end up raining right before our ceremony started, however Lynn was able to quickly and efficiently coordinate having the ceremony inside - it turned out perfect! Jeffery A. Miller (JAM) Hospitality Group was also amazing. The food was fantastic and the service was incredible. The venue itself was stunning and made for an unforgettable night!”

“Great venue to hold your wedding. Has major Gatsby vibes. And a ceremony under a sprawling tree was divine.
The getting ready room was so bright and inviting and it doesn’t get any better than dancing under strung lights.”

“We had such a fun experience with our family! We were 7 adults and enjoyed learning some cooking skills as well as eating the wonderful meal! Art was funny and adapted the menu for our vegetarians! Such a fun time together!”

“Potential renters need to understand that this is a special, historical, volunteer-run venue and they have specific reasons for what they expect, what they do and how they do it because they're a non-profit. Yes, there are three lavatories, the kitchen is in the basement, and it's best for intimate celebrations - they're upfront about these things. If the space doesn't work for your needs, there are plenty of Red Lobsters, VFW's, and country club spaces you can rent in the area. Don't blame them for being a non-profit with limited hours - the women running the space do the best they can while being full-time professionals and mothers. My daughter-in-law had her reception here years ago and it was lovely. She read the rules, asked good questions and reached out in a timely manner. No venue is perfect, but the Saturday Club is a piece of history and you should feel honored that it exists for you to make memories in.”

“Great venue - signage could improve- overflow parking was not clear! The facility itself is outstanding- the backyard is bucolic and pastoral. Very flexible for your needs!!”

“My guests loved the place. The decoration was amazing and the price is very affordable ?, on top of that you get a good customer service. Everyone was very happy. Thank you for the good service.”

“I’ve been fortunate to attend our companies offsite here for the past two years, and it’s been a fantastic experience both times. We reserve one of the conference rooms for a few days, and everything from start to finish has always been smooth and well-organized.

The staff really stands out. This year, Karima (Front Desk and Housekeeping Supervisor) was especially memorable - super energetic, friendly, and genuinely fun to interact with. Every time I passed by, she had me laughing. Honestly, every staff member we interacted with was welcoming and attentive, which made a big difference for a group event like ours.

We had food catered during our sessions, and the team did a great job making sure everything was set up on time, refreshed as needed, and cleared quickly. They also had thoughtful snacks and goodies available between sessions, which everyone appreciated.

The room itself was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and I had an awesome view of the pond - it was partially frozen when I arrived and had thawed out by the time I left, which was a cool touch. I also stopped by the front desk for directions at one point, and they were quick and helpful.

One of the highlights was a private dinner we hosted on-site in the mansion - the food was delicious, and the drinks were a great addition to the experience.

Overall, this is a great spot for corporate offsites or events. The combination of the setting, service, and attention to detail makes it easy to recommend. Already looking forward to being back next year.”

“My wife and I have lived here for going on 11 years. From day 1 we knew we made the right choice. Yes there are landscapers and snow removal contractors so we don’t have to do it. And yes there are contractors at times making necessary repairs. Don’t committed homeowners need to do this? With 1710 units clustered over 800 acres we have more open space not counting the golf course than most communities in Chester County. The amenities are amazing as are the vistas. Second best thing we did!”

“I did Book of Secrets theme with a friend. The room master(s) might've had to navigate multiple rooms at once. Priced about right for what you get. The flow of the room was mostly good and staff very friendly. There was a red button that my friend and I misunderstood to be the exit room button versus a button that could be used in the room itself.”

“Marple Sports Arena was easy to park and family oriented ! If you go for an event you can bring a chair.They have an ATM for cash only events.Everyone was friendly.We went to Grappling event with Studio X and it was fun and well organized !”

“Can't say enough wonderful things about our wedding here. Dawn, Richard, Chef Scott, and the whole team did an amazing job from the very start. The food was awesome, the coordination was top notch, and the physical space was exactly what we hoped for. They included a lot of thoughtful touches that made the entire evening flow very smoothly. Our guests raved about this place for days afterward. Bonus: the value was great for the price, plus the proceeds went to an organization we care about. Thank you to everyone involved for making our day so memorable.”

“I haven't seen smoking bars since pre COVID but walking into this place for the first time to see a metal show and seeing I could have a drink and smoke a cigarette while watching the Phil's between bands was one of my highlights of this past year. Long live the Polish club ??????”

“This Hilton property is phenomenal! Immediately upon entry, we were welcomed, and greeted. Was very thankful for my Hilton Status, and of course offered warm fresh cookies. Was asked numerous times if there was anything additional they could’ve done for me. Mrs Kay at the from desk let her true hospitality show! The room wasn’t as updated and tech savvy as I had expected, but the waitstaff and management running the restaurant was super courteous and also went above and beyond. Zero issues and would recommend this property anytime!! Thank you”

“Too Many Games 2022 was a monster convention!! It’s just that, TOO MANY GAMES!!! They have it every year and it just gets bigger and bigger!!! If you like Comic-Con, this should be on your list next time they do this!!”

“Let me tell you. We had a fantastic night. The food was perfect, the service was top notch and the price was more than fair. Highly recommend! Very clean establishment.”

“Okay hotel, good location, poor quality heating.

On arrival the staff were very friendly and gave me a lot of helpful advice. As an IHG Diamond member I was upgraded to a suite, which I really appreciated, and overall the suite was very decent. It had two big-screen TVs and a small kitchenette area, although there were no appliances other than a microwave and a coffee machine (no kettle). The bathroom had a shower but no bath.

I also stopped by the bar for a glass of wine, which was fine, and the staff there were very kind as well. The hotel has a small gym, business facilities, and a very good location right next to King of Prussia Mall (the fourth largest mall in America), which was a big plus for me.

Unfortunately, during the night I noticed the heating wasn’t working properly. Instead of switching on and off to keep the room at a steady temperature, it kept alternating between cold and hot air and it was quite noisy. I ended up turning it off, but then the room got pretty cold and I didn’t sleep that well. It was basically a choice between a cold room or a noisy room. Since it was the middle of the night, it didn’t feel like the right time to complain or ask to change rooms, so I just put up with it. I’ve noticed a lot of hotels in America seem to have similar heating systems.

Breakfast was open slightly late, which was fine, and the food was okay, although a couple of staff members were talking quite loudly to each other which felt a bit odd in the morning. Checkout was very smooth.

Overall, an okay stay with a great location, but the heating really let it down.”

“I always stay here when visiting Philadelphia. Only sad thing was the heater in the pool has been broken my last 2 visits. But attest they have a hot tub. If the heater was fixed it would be 5 stars”
