Curtis Arboretum

"The Curtis Arboretum has everything you'd need for a gorgeous and unforgettable wedding celebration! If you're getting married in the Philadelphia metro area and want a venue that combines natural beauty and grandeur, put the Curtis Arboretum on your short list. You won't find a more beautiful spot to tie the knot than the lawn behind Curtis Hall (the main building). The stairs that run from Curtis Hall down to the park's grassy expanses and then back up to the ceremony site allow you to make an entrance that builds anticipation. And the long, elegant pergola that runs across that space creates a lovely backdrop for your exchange of vows. You could spend hours having your wedding portraits done and still not exhaust all the possibilities the arboretum's 45 acres of meadows and forests offer. And Curtis Hall gives you an indoor space that is perfect for celebrating your nuptials with dinner and dancing. (At the wedding we photographed there recently, the couple used the tent-enclosed back patio for dinner and the toasts before moving into the intimate and historic ballroom for the party.) Another reason to consider the Curtis Arboretum for your wedding is its partnership with JAM Catering, which handles the food, beverages, floral arrangements and onsite coordination. In our time as wedding photographers, we've rarely worked with caterers/florists/coordinators who are so helpful, friendly, creative and detail-oriented. And we can tell you from experience that the food is delicious!"

"Decent dog park and walkable trails lovely pond filled with turtles sunning themselves"

"Curtis Arboretum was the first place I visited with my future husband. I was looking for a venue that was whimsical, natural, yet could deliver upscale glamorous vibes, had outdoor wedding charm but also indoor space for an equally stunning potential rain plan and most importantly ,overall ,would give me bang for my buck. I looked at various options online and visited several in person with my fiance and Curtis Arboretum is where we happily landed. The ceremony site gives me fairy princess whimsy, the partially clear tent provides for natural light in the day, stargazing opportunities at night and rain coverage if needed. The ballroom delivers old world charm with hand-painted grandiose wall that trumpet sound "Bridgerton this is your Diamond of the season" and the ceilings are fit for a royal ball. This place aesthetically is my compiled wedding dreams come true and it could be yours. Getting married can be pricey if you're doing so with a large guest count but I feel their cost is better or fair value as far as weddings go these days and they provide all the "bells and whistles" or upgrades for a reasonable fee making it affordable if you plan properly financially. Our wedding is happening in 3 weeks, so I will update post wedding bliss!"

"This place is located in Glenside, Montgomery County on Church Road and Greenwood Avenue. You fan access it from Church Road. They have a dog walking park located down the hill near the ponds. I was here in early spring so not a whole lot of blooming yet. It's a great place to relax and sit on a bench enjoying the fresh air and nature. Would be a good place for a power walk or a jog as the paved road traverses a hillside. You could get a cardio workout here for sure. Will update soon to check out what flower tyoes bloom here."

"Gorgeous venue , great place to have an event. Photos don't do justice to how pretty it is. Not sure about prices, but it's worth the stop. Saw a company work there called active photo booth so atleast I know they use people at this spot. Enjoyed my visit"
