Choosing Stroudsmoor was the #1 best decision I could have made when it came to my wedding. It is the PERFECT place to get married. They have everything right there for you no matter which venue on their property you choose. We got married at The Pavillion because we wanted an outdoor ceremony with a “backyard/park” feel. From the moment I met my event planner, Danica, the planning went smoothly and every detail was covered. Grayson handled the flowers and decor beautifully. My bouquet came out better than I ever could have expected and the ceremony and reception decor was everything i was looking for. I came to them with a cake stand I had seen that I was going to rent myself but instead THEY HAD ONE MADE!! That’s just one example of many of how they go above and beyond to make your day a dream come true. From the ceremony to the reception things were seamless from a venue standpoint. Danica and Kailey planned my day with me and made sure my vision came to life. Checked in often and even made sure our fist look went smoothly while juggling another wedding. Maddy, Kim, Jenny, and Ally took it from immediately after the ceremony to the end of the night, never leaving me and my guests without whatever it was we needed. Jenny ensured I had a drink in my hand before I even thought to head to the bar for another starting with hitting the end of the aisle after the “I do”. My guests raved about she service and attentiveness of everyone and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my next chapter as wife! Stroudsmoor will take your vision and make it a reality!!

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!

After being in the Wedding & Special Events Industry in the Lehigh Valley and Beyond, Linda and I have been fortunate enough to work with the best of the best, both on a Professional level and in some of the most Amazing Wedding Venues around America. Throughout the years we have been blessed working with Terry Marrow at several awesome venues. No matter where we were or what the environment Terry always but on the best events. Every little detail was pre-thought and executed perfectly and as we all know sometimes things have not been relayed as they should have, but fear not, Terry would have it addressed and no one was every the wiser. One of the other special things about Terry is that she concerned about the other Professionals, to insure they have the space they need, convey the changes in last minute timing and in our case, the schedule allows for the very memorable images we will create – truly a team player! As for Shepard Hills Country Club, it is a beautiful venue. When we started out in our business we worked there often. It then went through some management changes, all for the better and it has been recently restored to its current splendor. It is not overstated yet stunning, with ample seating areas, spacious dance floor and refreshment area. On top oof that you have the Country Club grounds and outside casual areas, couple all that with an Outstanding Chef, banquet team and one of the Best Managers in and around the Lehigh Valley, what more could you ask for.

I feel like it’s rare that a bride would say everything on her wedding day was perfect but it truly is the case here. Glasbern was the best choice I ever made for my wedding. The space is the perfect size, gorgeous scenery and you can’t really get a bad view anywhere on site. The team at Glasbern Inn were incredibly helpful, quick to respond, and very flexible throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was simply stunning - the venue was decorated exactly as I had envisioned, the food was absolutely delicious, and the clean up at the end of the night was so easy. They handled all of the decor packing, placement, and unpacking, and were also very accommodating of our special requests. Special shout out to Megan Detwiler for all the last minute meetings, emails, and silly questions, Denyelle Kern for coordinating all the venue room bookings, Nick for carrying all my heavy boxes and helping sort through all my messes, and Morgan for helping fluff my dress, chauffeur me around the space, keeping me grounded and on time for my special day! I was truly speechless at how flawlessly everything came together on our wedding day. I cannot recommend Glasbern Inn highly enough to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue.

I have been performing weddings at Sayre Mansion since the 1990s. No matter the season or the couple, the weddings at Sayre are lovely, the couples well attended to by the staff and the facility, a graceful step back in time. Flowers, lawns, trees overlook Historic Bethlehem and beautifully decorated rooms make for a picturesque backdrop for photos, ceremonies and family reunions. The staff attends to whatever needs arise. The dining room is beautifully decorated with elegantly dressed tables. The food is outstanding. I highly recommend Sayre Mansion for weddings and vow renewals.
