Highly recommend Terrain at Styers. We just had our wedding there and couldn’t be happier. Everything from our walk through, planning, and day of the wedding was effortless. The team goes above and beyond to make sure your day is exactly as you envisioned it (even when it’s raining!). We are so happy with Terrain and continue to get compliments from our loved ones who shared in our day. If you’re lucky you’ll get Carla as your coordinator! We also used all of their preferred vendors and couldn’t be happier with them as well. Highly recommend considering terrain as your venue!

My husband and I were so pleased with our reception at CCHC. Working with Cyndi Meadows, we were able to put on a fun, personalized reception for which we received rave reviews from family and friends. Cyndi answered our many questions and was responsive to our needs. Our guests loved the venue, with cocktails outside on the terrace along with the option to browse the museum collections. The auditorium space accommodated about 100 guests for a buffet dinner and dancing very well. With our DJ's lights, floral arrangements, and some additional decor, we turned the basic, blank slate of the auditorium into a vibrant, colorful space. Proximity to the Chestnut Street parking garage and the Hotel Warner are huge bonuses for this a unique venue in the borough of West Chester. The venue costs are very reasonable when looking at other local venues, plus you provide your own alcohol here which provides further savings. We happily partnered with one of their preferred caterers, Limoncello, who provided abundant, delicious food and excellent service. If you want a unique, convenient, and affordable venue for your wedding reception, do not hesitate to check out CCHC!!

We held my daughter's wedding at Whitford Country Club 10/14/23 and could not have been happier with the event. Our wedding coordinator Dawn was amazing. Throughout the planning process she was accommodating and flexible with meetings and tastings, working around our schedule as my daughter was living out of town. Her attention to detail was meticulous, incorporating our input at every step along the way. We received many compliments from our guests about the food, which was plentiful and delicious. In addition, we had to switch from the planned outdoor ceremony to indoors on 2 days notice based on a rainy forecast, and the transition was seamless with a beautiful set up for the ceremony, thanks to Dawn and her staff's very hard work being the scenes. The evening was everything we all had hoped for and I would highly recommend this venue.

I have had the opportunity of DJing and working many varying types of events with Katrina and her crew from the Hilton Garden Inn. It's rare that from a behind the scenes point of view that I witness such precise execution - especially during events where things may not always go as planned. It's refreshing to see people who actually care for their clients, and put effort into making each event special. I'm thankful that I'll be creating amazing celebrations with them in the future!
