I don't know of any other venue like Parque Ridley Creek in Pennsylvania. Set in the middle of the 2600-acre Ridley Creek Park, this stone mansion and formal gardens are sheltered by forest and are as lush as a green underworld. It's so accessible, yet you feel transported to another world entirely when you are there.
It feels a little like you're in a combination of an English Garden and a scene from The Hobbit here. Stone walls and stairs, a serene reflecting pond, and a tennis yard that has gone "green" are just a few of the stunning examples of landscaping that they have incorporated into this magnificent park area.
Hunting Mansion is the venue property where you can hold your ceremony or reception, and it's a historic building that can seat up to 150 guests. Gleaming hardwood floors, ornately carved ceilings, and etched leaded glass windows add to the romance and ambiance of the mansion.
The mansion also has a beautiful, light-filled getting-ready room with a private balcony that will make the fairytale feel like it's coming true as you prepare for your wedding day.
The flagstone patio is expansive and a perfect place for a cocktail hour or a small ceremony. Throughout the mansion, you will see nods to the Tudor styling, including arched entryways, original stonework, and roses carved into the dark woodwork.
The grounds feel like a secret garden with tall cedar trees that let just enough light in to create an ethereal, moody feel. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you could spend hours doing photos in this area and have dozens of looks, from romantic fountain photos to dramatic photos in the woods.
Peachtree events are their exclusive event vendor and are well known for their excellence in service and style. Food is fresh and locally sourced, and everything is made from scratch with many vegan, kosher, or gluten-free options available.
If you're looking for a venue that will transport you to the gardens of England but only 45 minutes from Philadelphia, I urge you to check out Parque in Ridley Creek.
