The other venues are real PA and NJ wedding venues, priced from what they publish (checked October 2026). Where a venue publishes its service charge and tax, we added them; the estate venue publishes neither, so its figure is before fees and tax. Our totals: venue + preferred caterer ($58.25 a guest) + bar package ($13.95 a guest) + about $25 a guest for your own alcohol, 2027 rates. Photographer, DJ, video and florals are extra at every venue on this page.

Good to know

Before you book.

Payment schedule, accessibility, anything else — just ask.

What holds our date?

A 25% deposit reserves your date — 35% for peak-season Monday–Thursday dates — figured on what you pay us for the venue and bar. The balance is due before the wedding.

Can we bring our own caterer, photographer or DJ?

Yes. Any licensed vendor is welcome with prior approval, at no fee — a plated caterer, a food truck, a brick-oven pizza truck for late night, an ice cream truck for the kids. Our preferred caterer knows the kitchen and the property and includes a menu tasting; we're glad to recommend photographers, florists and entertainment.

How does the bar work?

The estate is BYOB — no corkage, no markup on your bottles. The bar package, $13.95 a guest, brings two professional bartenders for up to eight hours, every mixer and garnish, the tools and the cups, for up to 140 guests. Beyond that, additional bartenders are $395 each.

How many guests can you hold?

Up to 300 on the terraces and lawns, 75–100 indoors. Off-peak dates (November 18 – April 30) hold up to 70. Weddings over 200 are quoted by hand, and small weddings are welcome.

What if it rains?

We add sidewalls to the tent, so the reception goes on dry and warm. Ceremonies can move indoors to the Grand Lobby or the restored barn.

What are the hours?

The Pre-Bridal Suite opens at 9 AM for hair and makeup. The private estate is yours from 12 PM to 10 PM, extendable to 12 AM. With the Estate Stay the estate is yours for 24 hours and checkout is 11 AM the next morning.

How do guests get to the ceremony site?

Our tractor-pulled trolley carries 20–25 guests per trip between the mansion and your ceremony site. Nobody drives.

Are sparklers, confetti and pets allowed?

Sparklers, yes — outside the house and away from the tent. Confetti only if biodegradable, such as dried petals. Your dog may walk the aisle.

Do you host LGBTQ+ weddings?

Yes — love is love, and every couple is welcome here. Our team has hosted weddings of every faith, culture and family shape; tell us what matters to you and we'll build the day around it.

How far ahead should we book?

Early. Peak spring, summer and fall Saturdays go 12 to 18 months out, and weekday and off-peak dates are booking for 2027 as well. With one wedding a day, each date goes to one couple.

Availability is limited

Check your date before it's gone.

2027 Saturdays and weekdays are both booking now — one wedding a day means one couple per date.
