Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
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!

Our wedding at Park Chateau was nothing short of magical in December! We had our ceremony on-site in the chapel and it was absolutely breathtaking. It was intimate, elegant, and the perfect setting to exchange our vows. The reception was stunning to say the least. The staff ensured every detail was flawless, from the setup to service creating an unforgettable experience. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail. The food was outstanding and cooked to perfection, even our to-go items! The cocktail hour was beyond anything we could have imagined, with an endless variety. From our very first appointment with Dom, we knew we were in the best of hands! Throughout the entire planning process, the entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Devin worked with us closely helping us select our menu and coordinating every detail. The entire team was attentive, organized, and truly went above and beyond to make our vision a reality. On the wedding day, Oscar, Dawn Alix, Jeremiah, and Alanna we’re by our side ensuring we had everything we needed. They even had hand warmers/jacket to keep us warm during our photos outside! They handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. A huge thank you to the entire Park Chateau team for making our day PERFECT! Getting married at Park Chateau was truly a dream come true, and we cannot recommend this venue enough!
