Quietly nestled on forty acres of breathtaking Devon countryside is one of Pennsylvania’s wedding venue gems. Built in 1894 and once a working farm, Hilltop House was home to private families until it was lovingly renovated in 2005 to hold weddings and events. This Main Line stately mansion offers couples indoor and outdoor options for their wedding day, including several terraces, a veranda, elegant rooms, as well as grand formal gardens, fountains, and even an apple orchard.
Typical of the time, Hilltop House boasts a wonderful parlor entry and a simple but elegant staircase that is home to a unique pineapple chandelier; both are perfect for posing bridal formals. The open, airy stairwell has tons of ambient, natural light, which I love to work in. Hilltop House has several rooms, where era-appropriate pieces have been curated, which feel welcoming and relaxing as your wedding party prepares for the big day.
The simple but sophisticated style of the Great Room or the Main Hall offers modern upgrades while still retaining much of its original charm. The interior of Hilltop House is a charming canvas that couples can redesign to bring their day's vision to life with style and ease. Hardwood floors stretch out, providing a great space to dance the night away while the soft hues of the room warm in the sunlight, which pours in the windows, creating a bright, romantic ambiance.
The rich wood of the study makes for a fun extension of the reception area and often hosts the cake cutting. The room has a bay of windows that allow for lots of available light, making it a fun spot to snag a few wedding portraits set against this distinguished backdrop.
If getting married under the Old Sycamore Tree was ever something you dreamed of: Hilltop House is your dream wedding destination. The old-world charm of the home extends out graciously to the grounds where this gorgeous tree occupies the front lawn which is perfect for hosting ceremonies, or a small cocktail hour.
Taking its name from the large hedges which frame the space, couples can also choose to hold an outdoor ceremony in the lush and beautiful Box Garden. Up a small, stone pathway and a few stairs, the Box Garden feels like an old English garden with its stonework, alter of ornate masonry, and greenery.
Around every corner and pathway are outstanding backdrops for creating the kind of fine wedding portraiture that Iryna Shostak is known for. The Old Sycamore Tree, with its long, knotty branches, adjacent to the low-stone wall, casts a romantic ambiance over every frame. A space that is picturesque in any season, the rich, vibrant hues of autumn are show-stopping.
Perfect Setting is the exclusive caterer, and they work closely with couples to create a delicious, custom menu. Their focus on providing highly personalized service and attention to detail create stress-free days for couples and their wedding party at Hilltop House.
