So many unique wedding and event locales in Philadelphia and environs, including another venue from wonderful Fairmount Park. From brides to corporate planners be sure to check out the Belmont Mansion---high above the park with a great view of Philadelphia! House has lots of history; was part of the Underground Railroad. http://www.belmontmansion.org/events_belmont_mansion.htm

Another great wedding venue at Fairmont Park in Philadelphia is the Horticulture Center, beautiful indoors and out. Gorgeous flowers, plants, trees any time of year so your wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, engagement party, graduation on special anniversary celebration will reflect the beauty of the seasons. A European style pool and arboretum will make for beautiful photography. And the food is catered by Philadelphia's well known Stephen Starr. Dance on the indoor dance floor or outside under the stars--the choice is yours! Use your imagination for the event of a lifetime with great photographs.

Shofuso Japanese House and Garden...
Such gorgeous weather from Spring through Fall, and so many beautiful venues in the greater Philadelphia area to hold your unique wedding ceremony and/or reception. I'll be featuring some of these venues in upcoming posts. First is the Shofuso Japanese House and Garden. It opened on May 1st for visiting weekdays, and I spoke with the lovely event manager. "Guests will sit or stand on the deck of the house, while the bridal couple will most often face them with their backs to the water". The setting is lovely and the reception can be held with full catering at an historical building from the 1876 Centennial that is within walking distance. Imagine the natural beauty of a procession from your ceremony to the reception with your best friends and family.
