We just got married here last weekend and it was a dream come true. Between the gorgeous scenery & the amazing staffing, this place is top notch. From the initial planning process to the day of coordinating (Brianna was truly a godsend, not sure how we would have made it through without her), the staff went above and beyond and helped our day be a truly magical experience. They were always very responsive with communication. Cannot express in words how highly we recommend this venue!!

My fiancé and I were looking for a rustic wedding venue, not a ballroom, preferably a venue with space to be outside (weather permitting). We visited a few options in the Philly area and fell in love with the John James Audubon Center! The space offers SO many options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony. They host receptions in the pavilion which is open with huge windows and firepits outside! The site is beautiful, and everyone we’ve worked with has been immensely helpful! After officially booking for our October 2024 wedding, we planned to visit with our parents. What was originally intended to be a quick stroll around the grounds turned into an impromptu tour with the venue manage. She answered all of our parents' questions and even brought out photo books of previous weddings for us to flip through together. With the wedding right around the corner now, we could not be more thrilled with our decision and can't wait to be there next month to celebrate our big day!

My partner and I got married at Goggleworks in May of 2024 and we could not have asked for a better venue. Between the thoroughness of Margaret's communication, to the versatility of the venue itself, and all of the steps that go into making a wedding a breeze - they have it all. We wanted to have a slightly untraditional food situation at our wedding, bringing multiple restaurants together to have a mixed menu and this space accommodated that perfectly. With no required food vendor, you have the ability to get really creative in this space. And when I say that the staff were incredible to work with, I mean all of them! Margaret was fantastic with all pre-wedding planning. We were able to rent the spaces for the day before to load everything in and lighten our day-of wedding load. Margaret was there waiting for us at the loading dock, and there to close up when we left - she is the calming and helpful presence that you want on your wedding day. We were also able to leave our things in the space until the day after the wedding, making clean up much easier on us. In addition to Margaret, her team is stellar, the housekeeping staff are incredibly generous with their time, and the desk staff were there to point our guests everywhere they needed to go. All around a great organization to work with. If I were to do it over, I would choose Goggleworks every time!

The Reading Public Museum was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. Braden was wonderful all the way through the process from making changes to the floor plan and organizing the rehearsal to assisting relatives with mobility issues and event printing out my vows at the last minute. All the staff went above and beyond to help make our day perfect. When we came to pick up our stuff the next day, the front of house staff even let my husband and I come in and check out some of the exhibits that we had missed seeing during the reception. The garden outside was gorgeous for our ceremony - exactly the outdoor feeling we wanted and with so many beautiful flowers that there's no need for an additional decor. Having family and friends spread out between the well-kept beds felt magical coming over the bridge surrounded by trees and greenery. Our reception in the Museum galleries was absolutely perfect. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family in the months since that our wedding was the most fun and cool wedding they'd ever been to. The beautiful galleries allowed us to get away with limited decor, and there was something for everyone to enjoy all around the Museum. Braden and the Museum were so flexible allowing us to have our reception exactly as long as we wanted it to be with guests coming and going from different galleries and stopping to spend some time on the dance floor. The whole event was exactly what we wanted it to be, and we couldn't have gotten that at any other venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stokesay Castle is truly a dream venue, not just because of its breathtaking scenery, but because of its incredible staff. When we first toured the venue the manager, Luis, welcomed us like family. He took the time to explain all the packages available and even adjusted his recommendations to match our guest count, and never pushed us toward anything we didn’t need. He also shared helpful budget-friendly tips to make our day even more special and affordable. When we returned a second time for a renovation event, Luis remembered us instantly, greeting us with a big hug and even gave a personal tour, which expressed how much the staff genuinely care about their guests. Later, we had the pleasure of working with the new director, Dara, who went above and beyond to guide us through every step of the wedding-planning process. Whether it was through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings, she made sure we had everything we needed. She was very polite and informative and always had a smile on her face. On our wedding day, she checked in with us multiple times throughout the day to ensure every detail went smooth and perfect. When talking about the food, all I have to say is it was absolutely phenomenal. Stokesay Castle’s menu offered a variety of delicious options, and while we had to narrow down our wedding-day menu, we also got to sample the rest at our rehearsal dinner the night before. Everything we tried was outstanding. The castle building itself is the perfect blend of modern elegance as well as old-time medieval appeal. It has stunning scenery, a beautiful outdoor ceremony area, snd spacious getting-ready rooms for both bride and groom. The gorgeous grand ballroom comfortably accommodated our 112 guests with room to spare, and it was everything we envisioned. Each time I visited Stokesay Castle I fell in love with it all over again, and that’s when I knew it was the place for us.

Words cannot describe how perfect our wedding day was at Graystone Farms. Kai and Maddie were absolutely incredible in making our day as special as it can be. As soon as we arrived to view the venue, we fell in love and knew this is where we wanted to get married. Kai was incredible with suggestions and communication.
