Six of my Favorite Wedding Venues in the Lehigh Valley, Bucks-Mont, and Philadelphia areas

It’s been a few years since I did a roundup of some of favorite wedding venues in the area. The first one I did was in 2015, followed by another in 2018. Clearly, this is long overdue for an update as we’ve worked at several absolutely INCREDIBLE venues since then.

This list includes some unique and beautiful venues throughout the Lehigh Valley, Bucks-Mont, and Philadelphia areas that I love working with.

Navigating the Holidays When You’re Planning a Wedding

Being engaged around the holidays can feel a bit like a Hallmark movie. You have your matching PJs. You’re drinking hot cocoa out of your “just engaged” mugs. And maybe you’re snuggled under a cozy blanket gazing at your first tree together.

But, depending on your family, it can also be a really stressful time and bring about some difficult situations.

In order to help you navigate the holidays in a way that feels respectful, manageable, and perhaps even joyful, here are my best tips.

Carolyn and Nick’s Simple and Fun Penn Museum Wedding

Carolyn and Nick’s wedding took place in early June 2022 at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, PA. During our first walkthrough of the space, I think I said, “THIS SPACE IS SO COOL!” about a hundred times — because it totally is.

Ange and Seamus’s Overbrook Golf Club Wedding

Ange and Seamus’s Overbrook Golf Club wedding was the last one of our 2021 season and I don’t think we could’ve ended on a better note. After not one, but TWO, postponements — what started as a late Spring 2020 wedding became a beautiful and very intentional Holiday 2021 wedding.

Creative Spotlight: Daniel Moyer Photography – Part II

Many, many moons ago (what the…) we had the pleasure of meeting and working with the awesome photographer that is Daniel Moyer Photography. In 2013, we had the opportunity to chat with him for a bit in what we’re now calling Part I. This is Part II and it’s amazing how much someone can grow and achieve in just a year and Daniel is no exception.
