Parque is an absolute dream - a hidden gem in Ridley Creek Park that was the perfect setting for our wedding. As soon as my partner Kathleen and I stepped foot onto the grounds, we fell in love with the incredible natural beauty of the outdoor grounds coupled with the medieval style of the mansion where the reception is held. If you're looking for an amazing outdoor wedding venue, look no further than Parque! Additionally, the staff is friendly, helpful, communicative, and organized - our wedding coordinator Lindsay was amazing to work with from start to finish! The catering team at Peachtree did an amazing job of creating a menu for our wedding and was open to our feedback, which was highly appreciated. On the whole, we couldn't recommend Parque - the setting and the professionalism of the team blew us away and we can't thank them enough for bringing our special day to life! Reviewed on 02-07-2023

Our wedding was this past weekend and the Peachtree team at Parque at Ridley Creek did such an amazing job. They made sure to bring our vision to life and that all details were perfect. The venue is beautiful and speaks for itself.I cannot recommend this venue/caterer enough. The entire staff from the sales team, to the coordinators, bartenders, wait staff, etc. were amazing throughout the entire planning process and day of. You will be paying a little bit more than your average venue but it is worth the price point. They provided me amazing communication throughout the entire process and day of. Not only was my coordinator there running the show but we had someone follow us throughout the entire night to make sure we were eating and drinking/taken care of. Along with the staff being amazing the food as well is outstanding. I never received so many compliments on food at an event. Grace was my coordinator for my event and she was amazing. She not only provided guidance and suggestions but helped me remain calm throughout the process and day of. She was very knowledgeable of the services they provided at the venue and had an answer for every question I asked. Karina, our dignitary, was the second hero throughout the night ensuring we were being fed and had drinks. She was kind and understanding of the chaos that comes with a wedding. We cannot thank her enough for taking care of us!Overall, if you are looking for that historical vintage vibe, I cannot recommend this venue enough. I got to live out my whimsical dreams here.

Saying yes to Parque was the best decision we made for our wedding. Fallyn took us around the place on a sleet filled March day and it still took our breath away. Their coordinators are top tier, Lindsay & Steph made everything easy. They were always ready to answer questions, give advice, and reassure us through every step of the process. The place itself is stunning. There is nothing quite like the fairy tale of getting married in a castle among the trees. Every time the wedding costs got to us, we would visit and it would remind us of how worth it, it all was. The food was fantastic, the staff was fantastic. The entire day was a dream, and every step before it was a breeze. I sincerely cannot thank you all enough and I highly recommend Parque. PS Shout out to Karina for just being the best. She made sure our glasses were full the entire night and I never wanted for anything the whole day. Reviewed on 18-11-2023

When we visited Parque, we decided that we don't even know why we would look at other venues. It was absolutely perfect for our vibe. An etherel mansion in the woods with beautiful stonework, flora, and a rewnowned caterer. We made the right decision! Peachtree and their staff were attentive, kind, accomidating... they were true professionals who made the day effortless. We had a couple of unique requests and they moved mountains to make them happen for us. When the day came, it was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful landscapes, our every need met, delicious food. Our guests raved about how terrific the wedding was and how kind the staff were. It was truly the perfect day in the perfect venue. We will remember it forever. Thank you Lindsay, Parque, and Peachtree! Reviewed on 03-11-2023

This venue was hauntingly beautiful, the foliage the stone mansion and staff were amazing. They made the day that much more special. The staff made sure that we were taken care off, they ensured we tried all the food we had picked, at one point I was told that the staff brought a plate of the desserts and cake to our head table with a floral arrangement, sadly we were too busy dancing and having fun we never saw the desserts. They staff packed up some deserts, cake and gave us a bottle of wine at the end of the night. The venue itself, I mean it looks like a dream, but on top of the beautiful location the staff really did blow it out of the water for us, we never expected such attention to detail. Honestly we just thought we would through a big party at a beautiful location and call it a day, but the staff really brought it, we wanted to make sure they had as much fun as we were.... and I hope they did, because they were amazing!

We absolutely could not be happier with our decision to get married at Parque!It goes without saying that the venue is gorgeous. Our ceremony took place in what felt like a fairy-tale English garden. Surrounded by beautiful, lush foliage, nestled among antique stonework, the gentle music of a gurgling fountain and the wind through the leaves - truly dreamlike! And that's not even to speak of the mansion itself. Tudor revival stone details and beautiful dark woodwork abound. The bridal suite and ballroom were particular highlights. The spacious stone patio was the perfect place for our guests to relax, socialize, and just enjoy the scenery. Simply a stunning place!The service from the outset was perfect. We were fortunate enough to have Grace Mycek as our coordinator, and she really made our experience. Her calming demeanor and superb organization helped keep us on track with planning details in the months preceding our big day. She always made herself available to answer any questions, and really put us at ease! Thank you Grace!The service on our wedding day was outstanding. Everything just flowed so smoothly - it really felt effortless. We (the bride and groom) never wanted for anything - every time we turned around, someone was there with a drink or food in hand. Very impressive staff!The food was delicious. Many of our guests went out of their way to let us know how much they enjoyed their meals and the hors d'oeuvres - and we couldn't agree more!We can't recommend Parque enough. 10/10! Perfect, dream wedding! Reviewed on 09-10-2023

Parque Ridley Creek was such an amazing venue for our romantic, fairytale wedding and we cannot say enough good things about Peachtree or any of the staff we worked with throughout the whole wedding planning process. The venue is gorgeous and we got so many compliments from our wedding guests about how beautiful and unique the setting is. Lindsay was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process from meeting her and the tasting to answering all of my emails and questions she was organized and so thorough. The Peachtree catering food was also so delicious. The whole staff associated with this venue are top notch and made both the planning process a breeze and made our wedding day amazing. We would recommend Parque without hesitation! Reviewed on 03-10-2023

Our wedding was an absolute dream and the most perfect day. The Peachtree team was outstanding to work with. Our guests have been complimenting the food, the staff, and everything in between. Kelly, our coordinator and our dignitary Teresa were amazing to work with. They made sure my husband, bridal party, and parents were taken care of from day one. I could go on and on about how beautiful the venue and grounds were but if you are considering a mansion with historical essence, do it. Reviewed on 15-08-2023

ABSOLUTELY DREAMY historic stone mansion nestled in the woods with a fantastic catering service (our guests continue to bring up the food) and an incredibly organized, wonderful staff. We felt like we were in the English countryside, from the gardens to the stone terraces, and into the ballroom everything is absolute perfection. It was the dream wedding I had in my head come to life. A true gem. We also had the pleasure of working with Grace Mycek as our wedding planner and she was truly wonderful!

Parque could not be more beautiful of a venue, and the team at Peachtree was wonderful to work with. Lindsay, our day-of coordinator, was super responsive, attentive, and thoughtful. The staff day of treated us like royalty and made us feel so special. As a venue, Parque's beauty really has no peers. The grounds are the perfect backdrop for the ceremony and all the photos, and the ballroom was a stunning location for the reception. We couldn't recommend Parque/Peachtree more enthusiastically.

Mili Patel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-04-2023 Parque is an idyllic venue, straight fairytale, garden vibes, with its stone mansion and beautiful grounds. Our spring wedding at Parque was BEAUTIFUL!!!! Seriously couldn't recommend the venue and peach tree catering staff enough. My planner was Stephanie and she was 1000% the best. She was always on the ball, responsive and was really patient with me as I went back and forth on some wedding planning decor items. I will say as a whole, Parque is beautiful but it is pricey!! They offer many upgrades and given the huge base cost, couples need to really think about what aspects are important to them so they can figure out where to allocate extra budget funds. We were definitely surprised by a few of the upcharges, for items we though were \"standard\" but at the end of the day it my wedding day was perfect and I wouldn't have changed a thing. One \"critique\" would be any lounge rentals through Parque are done through a company called LilacLaceandCo but you have to liaison through your Parque planner. While one item the company delivered exceeded my expectations, the other item fell short of what I thought I was going to receive. It may have been easier to talk directly to the company/design team but not sure why Parque doesn't allow that. Wedding day Parque/Peach Tree staff were so attentive and we had a personal tenant to help get us drinks/help with my train, etc. I really wasn't expecting that kind of outstanding service from the team! Otherwise really 10/10 wedding, very memorable, and I would recommend the venue to any family/friends!! Reviewed on 28-04-2023
Alaina Gillespie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-01-2023 The staff at Parque (peachtree catering) was amazing. During the day of our coordinator made sure the day went through as smoothly as possible. We dropped off our decorations in the morning and the staff set it all up according to our directions. It was beautiful combined with the natural beauty of the venue. When we arrived at the venue for the reception (ceremony was offsite) they met and greeted us in the bridal suite. Our head server made sure we had our own plate of the hors d’oeuvres. Which were amazing. We could have ate just those and it would have been great. We had the Kennett square mushroom soup before the main dinner. The presentation of the soup coming out and being poured was awesome. For our dinners we had short rib and duck. The short rib was good but the duck was amazing. The plating was great but the overall flavor was great. It was the best duck I’ve had. The following day friends and family were telling us how great of a time it was and how it was one of the best weddings they had been to. Could not have done that without the great staff at peachtree. Reviewed on 13-02-2023

The bridal suite is huge and beautiful, the perfect space to feel comfortable while getting ready for the ceremony and enjoying cocktail hour privately with your partner (highly recommend). Adding photos to the living rooms was one of my favorite ways to add a personal touch. The Parque/Peachtree team was super organized, easy to work with, and very accommodating.

We could not have had a more amazing day. We said throughout the whole process of planning our wedding that between having Parque as our venue and Peachtree catering our food, we literally could have done nothing else and our wedding would have been amazing.

Bianca Cianelli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-10-2022 Parque was the only location both me and my husband could agree on! As soon as we arrived, we just knew it was THE spot to host our October wedding. The scenery is breathtaking, and the mansion gives that perfect mix of elegance & sophistication, yet still rustic and laidback. Because of the gardens and the architecture of the building, you really don't need much in terms of decor. Just some simple accents to help enhance the natural beauty of the space!In terms of Venue staff, we cannot say enough good things! Grace Mycek was our coordinator and assigned to us only 2 months before our wedding, as our original coordinator left for another company. I was initially a bit hesitant of receiving a new contact so close to our day, but Grace really stepped up to the plate and eased away any worries! I honestly ended up liking her more than our original coordinator (who was also great). She was super responsive, really on top of stuff, and super personable. She has years of experience in the industry- so you're in great hands!The food- DELISH! We received so many compliments on how everything tasted. Portions are also a good size-not too much and not too little, and eveything is super flavorful. We loved how cocktail hour and desserts were butlered, but dinner was sit-down. It really allowed everyone to mingle, but avoided any crazy lines. The menu was completely customizable. Grace and our prior coordinator really worked with us with any questions we had, and was able to help price out alternative options/special requests. We were able to do butlered oysters on the half shell (not a standard offering) in lieu of a raw bar, add additional garnishing and toppings to the meals as requested, and worked with the bar staff to do 2 signature cocktails with offerings already in our bar package instead of adding on a premium. What we loved the most though was the Peachtree Planner. You get this ~6 months out from your date which really helps to keep things organized throughout the process. This is especially helpful the closer and closer you get to your wedding day. It allowed us quick answers on any questions, and acted as a central point of reference for all things wedding related. It really eliminated the need to hire a wedding or day of coordinator in my opinion. Overall, I would 100% book at Parque and with Peachtree all over again if I could. Yes the venue costs are pricey, but honestly money well spent and so worth it in my opinion. The food, staff, and venue were way better than I could ever imagine! Because of Grace and the Peachtree Planner, I really feel we were able to walk away from this experience stress free and wishing we could do it again 100x over! Reviewed on 01-11-2022

The number of times guests came up to us and noted how stunning the property was, what a hidden gem the venue is, and asked how we stumbled upon it - was endless. The uniqueness and natural beauty make you feel like your wedding day is nothing short of a real life fairytale.Secondly, the Peachtree team is amazing to work with!

Guests constantly said to us this was the first wedding they have been too where they actually enjoyed the food, finished their meal and were hoping for more!Lastly, while Wifi and service are hard to get at the venue, it's actually one of the best things for your wedding day. Guests constantly noted this was the first wedding in a while where they were actually present because they couldn't rely being on their phone at any point in the evening. While some may see this as a curse in today's world, it truly was a blessing as our guests were actually focused on enjoying themselves, vs. sharing the moment with everyone not there.Parque is truly a magical place to get married, and I know I speak for everyone when we say our only regret was not having the party go longer!

They really helped me with planning and were always a quick email away. We had very unexpected rain just as I was about to walk down the aisle and the staff was honestly so amazing with the quick plan B. They shuffled everyone inside, set up the ballroom for a ceremony, and then shuffled everyone back out to set up for the reception during cocktail hour. I have to say it was still a beautiful setting for a ceremony even though I had my heart set on the garden. I will say it sucks how much of an up-charge a lot of things are here - it is not cheap. If you want market lights for instance you’re going to pay an extra $2700 at least (just for one section of the patio).

We got hitched after the chaos of COVID-19 and the team at Parque/Peachtree Catering bent over backward to make sure everyone was safe, had fun, and that we got a good value. I can't recommend Parque enough and several of our guests had such a good time they reached out to the venue to plan their own events. Reviewed on 20-03-2022
Austyn Castelli(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 We knew as soon as we arrived at Parque that we wanted to have our wedding there. I was looking for a venue that had both outdoor and indoor spaces which I liked equally. This was the only venue we found that had an indoor space that I would be happy to have my ceremony in if it rained. The ballroom is stunningly beautiful and the grounds are like something out of a fairytale. We booked our wedding at Parque pretty far out, about two years before our date. Our wedding was handled by several different coordinators throughout the planning process, but each of them was responsive, attentive, and helpful. We worked with Parque before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic and they kept us updated and reassured us that our wedding day would be what we wanted. Key Fox was ultimately the person who handled our wedding and she was an absolute rock star. Key and her team worked with my maid of honor to decorate the mansion while I got ready and handled all of the morning-of stuff I had thrown at me. They went above and beyond to make sure everything I brought was placed and used. Their hard work ensured that I was able to enjoy my wedding day with as little stress as possible. The food provided by Peachtree is phenomenal and they are so thoughtful when it comes to dietary restrictions, preferences, and logistics. Ordering meals for guests during COVID was not easy, since we were unsure who would actually make it until very close to our date. They were very receptive to receiving new counts as close as they possibly could to the day. They also sent us home with extra meals, which were a lifesaver! This team knows what they're doing and they're pros.A few things for prospective brides to note about Parque; it's nestled in a state park, so you may have to contend with the public at certain points. Someone else was doing a photoshoot while our wedding party was doing portraits in the gardens outside, but people were generally respectful and the Parque team and the rangers do a great job of keeping the event private. There is also no cell phone signal or wifi at the venue, which wasn't a huge deal for us but we did make sure our wedding music and all documents were downloaded to devices in anticipation. It was difficult to get in contact with people who had not arrived by phone, but it wasn't a big deal for us. Just something to keep in mind for planning!I couldn't have dreamed of a better place to get married and I was so grateful for Key and the Parque team. I will remember them always.

Elaine B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-11-2021 When we think back on our wedding day and all of our vendors, Parque/Peachtree was one of our favorites! Let’s talk about their amazing staff! We had great communication from our day of coordinator, Key, leading up to the wedding. She really made us feel like she cared about our day as much as we did. And on our wedding day we were met with such an amazing team, who were thoughtfully putting together each and every detail we asked for in previous communications and day of requests. I couldn’t believe how kind and responsive they were! After my husband and I had finished our ceremony, we were swept away to do photos immediately. And the staff was so on top of it- they met us with drinks and food for us, our family, and friends who were taking photos with us. Throughout the night the staff checked in with us periodically, making sure that my husband and I had everything we wanted. The staff was amazing and we couldn’t have been in better hands on our wedding day! Now onto food! Peachtree allows couples to come with another pair of people to try some of their foods at a tasting held at another location. My husband, parents and I went to the tasting and it was amazing! To all you foodies, get ready to have to make hard choices! ALL THE FOOD AND DRINKS WERE AMAZING! If the hardest choice is choosing which yummy foods you want at the wedding then you really can’t go wrong. Our guests raved about: the bao bun station, the artisan cheeses, the onion tart that came with the spring salad, the meats (perfectly cooked) and desserts. **Side note for budgeting brides and grooms: they advertise at the tasting many of their upgraded meals, so be aware of that when you are dreaming up the perfect food for your wedding. Last but not least, location - November 14th gave us all the fall vibes! The ceremony was located in the fountain area and though it was beautiful, it was definitely cold! I believe they have heaters that can be used outside, if you have a fall wedding it may be something you want to ask about. Most of our guests choose to stay inside during the cocktail portion of the wedding. For the reception, we chose to have our DJ bring in some lights into the ballroom to set the mood for dinner and dancing. And there is plenty of parking for you and your guests!One thing I would say to be aware of, in the room where we collected gifts/cards and had our photo booth, there is very little light in the room. I would suggest bringing extra sources of light (candles, neon signs, etc…) especially if your wedding is in the fall/winter time when daylight is limited.We had an unforgettable time at Parque and we are certain anyone that chooses them will have an incredible wedding!

Alexandra G(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2021 My now-husband and I got engaged in July 2021 and decided we wanted a holiday wedding. We were able to secure a date at PARQUE just a few months after we got engaged-- primarily because 2021 was the first year PARQUE opened their calendar to winter weddings. Their calendar for the following year (and some dates the year after that!) was pretty full, so we feel super lucky to have reserved a date at PARQUE at all-- let alone when we wanted it.Pulling into the venue is a 'wow' moment for you and your guests. The exterior of the mansion and the grounds are absolutely beautiful-- but don't sleep on the inside of the mansion as a winter/rain option! Beautiful woodwork lines the main dining room, and charming candlelit fireplaces lend themselves to a very \"welcome to our estate\" vibe.From initial contact to the day of our wedding, the team at Peachtree catering was responsive and helpful. We never felt stressed by our rapidly approaching date, nor did we feel like our planning wouldn't get done with the level of attention/care we wanted. The result was a dreamy, cozy, and beautiful holiday wedding. Our guests are still reaching out with lovely things to say about the event. Everything from the food to the service to the space itself was absolutely perfect. We're so happy we spent our special day at PARQUE Ridley Creek.

Our coordinator, Lindsay, was spectacular. Despite needing to move our wedding date twice due to COVID, the Peachtree staff provided us with support through every step. Not only is their staff amazing, but the food is out of this world. We received so many compliments from our guests on the decor, food, and overall atmosphere of our wedding--none of which would have been so flawlessly executed had we decided to hold our wedding anywhere else.

Kelley & John Guarnere(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-10-2021 Our Wedding Day at Parque Ridley Creek was the best day of our lives. The grounds and the mansion are absolutely gorgeous, and paired perfectly with our Storybook Fairytale theme. The venue itself allows a lot of flexibility when it comes to design -- we were able to create all the little details we imagined with fabric, books, candles, and knick knacks around the mansion to truly make it unique and feel like us.Key is absolutely wonderful. She was great to work with and kept everything running smoothly. I was confident she would pull everything together and she did. I can honestly say nothing went wrong -- not even the weather -- for our October 30, 2021 wedding. As with any wedding venue -- it can get expensive. There are some add ons and upsells, as with all places. We upgraded to market lights on the patio and ballroom, which made the atmosphere all the more dreamy and romantic. We also upgraded the bar, a farm table for the reception and some menu items. For the price of this location, the value is absolutely outstanding. Much better than other venues we quoted, especially because you don't need to worry about finding a caterer, and it includes open bar. Plus, the fact that everything from ceremony to reception is all in one beautiful place was great. What you pay for is extremely worth it. I don't think there's a better value out there. I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. It was a perfect day and our guests felt like royalty, (us, too!) We seriously got calls up until two weeks later -- people thanking us for inviting us to such a beautiful wedding. Everyone was blown away by the venue and location. They kept asking, \"How did you find this place!?\" So many friends and family told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. The food was so delicious, the service was great, and I still can't get over how beautiful and perfect it was. (Chickn' n waffles and tacos were slammin', guests were nearly stalking the servers at cocktail hour...)Get married here. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and the perfect place for my husband and I to start our lives together. The greatest part, is that Parque is only a 35 minute drive from our home, so we can go back and revisit the steps we got married on any time. We plan to visit each October to stir up the memories.

She was extremely professional and responsive, but also so sweet and a joy to work with. On the day of the wedding she went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up the way we wanted, kept us on schedule, and made sure everyone in our wedding party was taken care of. I found myself looking forward to planning meetings, and she felt like a true friend by the time the wedding was over.

We were a couple that was impacted by the pandemic, and therefore had to move our big celebration from 2020 to 2021. Though there were bumps early on, once Stephanie was brought on board everything changed for the best.

We held our ceremony outdoors in the garden, cocktail hour on the patio, and our reception in the ballroom. I knew it was a beautiful venue when I booked, but I was BLOWN AWAY on our wedding day. Lindsay Keane and Fallyn Maleski were our coordinators throughout the process, and they did an incredible job taking care of us, answering our questions, and providing guidance and clarification. This was so important to us as we were navigating wedding planning through COVID. We can't thank them enough for everything they did to make the process as stress free as possible for us. Aside from the fact that the mansion and grounds are gorgeous, one of my favorite aspects of PARQUE is the fact that they have an in-house company (Peachtree) to handle all of the catering. This made the process of selecting meals SO easy and everyone was raving about how delicious the food was. PARQUE also creates a detailed timeline of the day, coordinates with all other vendors, and ensures staff is on site the day of to help with every detail.

Best part is that the day was not technically perfect. There was a tornado a few days before our wedding, which caused a huge water main break.

From the accommodating staff to the weather arranged by Mother Nature for the ceremony, we could not have asked for a more perfect venue. We knew instantly almost a year prior that with the beautiful trees, patient staff, and delectable food samples that this would be where we have our 120 guests celebrate. Jon Weinrott and his staff worked closely and thoughtfully with us to ensure that every decision was made cohesively and comfortably, from where to place our chuppah and quickly connecting with all our vendors. The days leading up to the wedding, all staff were closely in contact with us, responding to calls and emails even within the hour with our most pressing questions. The day of the affair went off with a hitch; the staff so generously helped me walk with a huge dress to the first look, made sure all water bottles and ceremony brochure “fans” were in place to cool our sweltering guests in the heat, and checked in on us to confirm we had sufficient food, drink, and were smiling just enough. Our guests could not stop mentioning how special, beautiful, and intimate our wedding was—the trees were aligned just perfectly around the ceremony, the mansion had a wonderful balcony for the cocktail hour, and the staff so generously catered to our guests in wheelchairs—and alleviated any worry we had!

Once we began working with Peachtree, things got even better. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with than Lindsay and Fallyn.

Our guests are still talking about our wedding. We consistently hear how amazing the s'mores in a jar dessert was and the short rib entree. One of my bridesmaids just told me a story about how Peachtree broke down the table she was sitting at to create more space on the dance floor (we got a little crazy) and her purse had been moved.

Natalie Cope(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-08-2019 Parque at Ridley Creek is the most beautiful venue in the West Chester Area. The antiquity of the building transports you to a vision of a European estate while also providing beautiful grounds for photos. I knew the moment I visited Parque it was where I had to have my wedding. It perfectly fit my vision of class and elegance. Parque is also the most expensive venue I visited in this area. The price per person is significantly higher than any competitors in the area. Also, the small detail type costs really add up and can be frustrating. Costs for bridal suite food, \"premium\" linens, plating cookies, or food substitutions. I understand the extra cost, but the dollar amount on somethings was laughable. All wedding venues do this, but is something to keep in mind when budgeting. Lindsay, my venue contact, was great to work with. She always replied to my questions in a timely manner and made herself easily available. She answered my questions and helped me to explore my options. I would also like to compliment the bridal suite attendant. She was absolutely phenomenal. Jess really helped to make my day as stress free as possible. She was constantly bringing drinks and even had the horderves ready for me and my wedding party after the ceremony. It was so nice to have a couple minutes to settle before joining the cocktail party. She truly was a huge part of my day. On the day of the wedding the air conditioning was not working in the morning. I have to admit it was hot as hades. They got the air working and brought fans, but it took a long while for it to kick-in. The groomsmen were unable to use the space designated for them due to the heat. The upstairs was way too hot. The staff arrived early to start setting up and were well organized. All of the staff was extremely kind and personable. The reception room looked stunning and the dinner service was great. The food was hot and tasty. I had so many guests tell me it was the best food they've had at a wedding. I would also say it was the best food I've had at a wedding. At dinner three passed desserts are included in your package. However, I think one of my desserts got missed. I have still been unable to find anyone who had the fruit tarts, and I also never saw it get passed around. But with our cookie table I don't think anyone was hurting for dessert. Probably the only true issue I had was after dinner. I had been emailed many times and even met in person to go over the finer details of my timeline. However, no one at dinner was pushing my timeline. There was dead time when speeches were meant to be happening and this bled into the cake cutting getting pushed back. I had to pay my photographer an extra $500 to have them stay longer. Of course this snowballed and cut into dancing time as well. With the park having a firm close time at 10pm, there was no way to even ask to extend the dancing. The staff was also extremely helpful at the end of the night. They helped my family pack up and load our items.

We immediately fell in love with the mansion, the outdoor gardens, water fountain, and stone walls. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Right from the start, Jon was very inviting and he gave us a tour and a history of this English Tudor style mansion. I loved everything about this mansion but the stone walls and stairs is what attracted me the most. As a matter of fact, this is the very spot that my husband and I said our \"I do's\".

Lindsay, Fallyn, and Casey took wonderful care of us and our large family the entire time. I cannot rave enough about the food - it was outstanding! Peachtree and Ward Catering outdid themselves. We made a few changes less than 7 days prior to the wedding and they were completely accommodating. I wish I could relive that day over and over. The photo opportunities were abundant, the grounds were gorgeous, the mansion was clean. It was a perfect day thanks to their attention to detail and their helpful staff!

Annie Buttner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2019 We're so glad we picked Hunting Hill Mansion for our May wedding. It was a phenomenal experience all around, from planning and coordinating to the event itself.All of our guests are still raving about how awesome the food was. A few even said that it was hands-down the best food they've ever had at a wedding, ever. Plus,The service was fantastic - several of our guests have told us that they were just utterly wow-ed by the wait staff and bar staff, and we were too! They're really friendly, helpful people who demonstrated an incredible ability to be proactive and make sure that everyone had exactly what they needed, before they even had to ask. And from my perspective, I always had exactly the right thing right when I needed it - Parque is really good at getting all the little details right, like having glasses of cold water ready right after the ceremony & for pictures (it was about 90 degrees out and the ceremony and pictures were outside.) It seems like such a little thing but it was SO helpful to not even have to think about it, or ask for anything. Everything was just done and perfect. So, wow!The location is beautiful as well. Seriously, just go see it in person. Because it's part of a state park, you're a little limited in what you can do as far as \"extras\" but I kind of feel like that just makes everything easier in a way because you don't have to worry as much about all the little details. And because the venue is so beautiful as-is you really don't have to do much anyway.As for the planning and coordination ahead of time, it was really pretty easy. I never thought that planning a wedding would be so simple. Other than picking vendors (cake, photographer, dj, florist) it really felt like everything was just done for me. Sam was really good with coordinating everything, and I am SO appreciative of that. I could pretty much just show up the day of our wedding, get dressed, and that was that. No running around trying to decorate or set up signs/chairs/favors/place cards, it was all handled. That was really nice. No one ever thinks they'll be an hands-off bride, but for the most part, I could be. I knew what I wanted and they made it happen. Like I said before, there are some limits to what you can do, but I never really felt confined by any of that - in fact, Parque was pretty accommodating and flexible. For example, I knew I wanted our dog to be part of it. We couldn't have him indoors (like during the reception) but they were able to be flexible. I just had to have a dogsitter bring him to the venue right before the ceremony, and take him home after pictures were done. It cost us a little more money than it would have if we could have just crated him indoors before or after, but oh well. It worked out fine in the end. It was really nice that we were able to make it happen. All in all, I would say that Parque is a fantastic place for a wedding. It's a gorgeous location and service is top-notch. If you're on a tight budget and want to be more hands-on, it may not be the right fit for you - you can save a lot of money by doing more things yourself and more piecemeal. But for us, the extra cost was worth the convenience and stress-free experience. Reviewed on 07-06-2019
Lauren Scaife(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-05-2019 The Peachtree staff made planning a wedding from another state really easy and stress free.

julia kernan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 First, Parque is an absolutely stunning and unique venue. The grounds are beautiful and the mansion provides an amazing site for a reception.Jon, Lindsay, and the rest of the Peachtree staff were fantastic. From the beginning, they were very invested in making our wedding perfect. They remained engaged with my fiance and I throughout the planning process; they were always available to answer our questions and we had several in-person meetings with them at the venue to visualize and iron out EVERY detail. They also hosted a fun tasting event to get an idea of their service, their food and its presentation.The food at our wedding was amazing! At a lot of weddings we’ve been to, it seems the food is just an afterthought, but you can tell that Jon and his staff are incredibly passionate about their food, its presentation and most importantly how it tastes! Without even asking our guests, many have told us it was hands-down the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The dinner and desserts were superb, and multiple guests could not stop talking about the cheese station and hors d'oeuvres . Throughout our planning meetings Jon found out my fiance and I are both Dutch, knowing many Dutch guests would be attending, without even asking he made a point to pick amazing Dutch cheeses for the cheese station as well as went above and beyond to make a special Dutch appetizer (Bitterballen) that was not one of our final menu choices nor was it even part of their repertoire; the bitterballen was definitely the overall favorite! The event couldn’t have been more perfect. You often hear wedding stories about the few things that don’t go to plan but that was not the case for us and that is a huge credit to Peachtree. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. We even had our own personal server, Caitlin, who was terrific and very attentive to our needs; we never had to wait for a drink or appetizer. The staff was super-efficient with setup, service, and cleanup at the end of the night, and they even helped keep us on schedule at times when photos and toasts took a little longer than expected. The combination of Peachtree’s spectacular food and service within the beautiful setting of Parque resulted in a wedding more perfect than we could ever have imagined! Reviewed on 25-01-2019

Natalie Speese(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2018 Parque was the most beautiful venue we could've dreamed of. The mansion itself is gorgeous inside and out and there are many options for outside ceremony grounds and photo ops. The bridal suite is HUGE and beautiful. Plus you can get in five hours prior to your ceremony for on-site hair and make-up. Parque currently uses only one catering company, which is limiting in a lot of respects (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but for us, it was worth the extra money in order to have this venue for our special day. Since it is located in a state park, your wedding must end by 9pm, so that's definitely something to keep in mind. You're also not able to drop off any items prior to your day and everything must be taken off the property the night of your event.The only complaint I have about the venue itself is the rude woman working at the park desk in the mansion. You have NO right to try to ruin a couple's wedding day with your attitude. Apparently this is an ongoing problem according to the catering company. Reviewed on 24-10-2018
Erin Kale(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2018 The staff at Peachtree is awesome! We picked this venue knowing we wanted an outdoor wedding ceremony with a good plan B option. We worked mostly with Bridget but also with Jon and Lori at different points during the planning process. The group tasting we attended a couple months out was wonderful and gave us lots of great options to choose from! We had a few planning meetings with Bridget and our wedding planner to walk through logistics and pick out any rental items. We also appreciated that Peachtree was open to a floor plan they had never done before, which turned out great! Once our wedding day arrived my husband and I could not have been happier with how things turned out! The grounds looked absolutely beautiful and we were lucky to have great weather so our ceremony was outside in the gardens and cocktail hour on the mansion patio. Our families are big foodies and the food was off the charts!! We received non-stop compliments on the food and service all night. Many people told me that as the bride I would not get a chance to eat at my wedding. Well I can say that thanks to Julie (our attendant), we ate every single thing and always had a drink in hand!

So many people could not believe it was all kosher. My friend told me she still dreams about the food :-) Leading up the wedding, Melinda was great. I emailed her a million times with a million small questions because that's what happens when you plan a wedding in 3 months! She was never fazed and always was professional.

It has been 3 months since our wedding and my guests tell me how beautiful the venue was and that the food was amazing! They even name the particular appetizers that they loved.While the costs are at parity with other Main Line Venues, there were some value adds that I didn't anticipate. The venue has to work within state park regulations which are annoying (everyone out by 10 pm, no overnight parking, the grounds are public so people can watch, all decorations must leave by 10pm, etc) . Parque does an awesome job to accommodate these requirements and provides exceptional service to off-set these regulations. I would highly recommend Parque! Reviewed on 28-07-2018

It is so quiet and serene, and SO much space for photos, guests to explore, and feel like you are in your own pocket of nature. Peachtree Catering company who owns and runs this venue is phenomenal. Between answering my many emails/questions quickly, personalizing meals for my sister who has multiple food allergies, customizing the menu, and service the day of - there is no one better. ALL my guests were RAVING about how they never had food that amazing at a wedding, from the hors d'oeuvres, salad, entree & desserts, everyone was in awe. You get to select a lot of options and we had dinner served family style which our guests loved! The service throughout cocktail hour and dinner was superb. No guest went unnoticed and dinner service was efficient. I even saw the owner walking around during dinner checking on guests to make sure everything was ok. The attendant who was with us (bride & groom) for the day was so perfect and attentive. She was so thoughtful she even brought our drinks outside when she noticed our photographer wanted more photos in the middle of the reception. I can not say enough wonderful things about this venue. My bridesmaids said they have never been part of a wedding where EVERYTHING went smoothly and there was not one single problem throughout the day.

Lindsay Alston(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2015 From the moment we walked up to Ridley Creek State Park I could just picture having our wedding there - surrounded by big trees, we would be the only event on site with a lovey historic ballroom and two choices for the ceremony area. We met with Kevin for our tour and he answered all of our questions (very honestly) which was great! Having the entire mansion to ourselves for the whole day, not to mention the bridal suite (and private balcony), was perfect. And, since the grounds were so expansive, my husband and his groomsmen were able to get pictures at the same time as the bridal party without us seeing each other (we did not do a first look). We received so many compliments on the grounds and got such wonderful pictures with all of the areas directly around the mansion - the pond, treeline, landscaped area and the stone foundations (Juliana Laury Photography). The only thing we changed was to use Robert Ryan Catering even though we had to pay extra as they are not a preferred vendor. Reviewed on 30-12-2015

Right before you get to the mansion itself you pass a small stable with a field full of horses! We first went to see the mansion in the middle of winter, and even then as we pulled up we knew it was 'the place'. The official caterers are Christina's Catering and they were wonderful to work with and the food was awesome. We had our wedding in October with the ceremony outside. It was perfect.

When we discovered Ridley Creek Mansion we knew this would be our local destination. Ridley Creek is beautiful, very scenic and picturesque. The Mansion has a lot of history and having our own bridal sweet for day was an extra perk. It was very spacious and beautiful, a great place to get ready and capture some extraordinary pictures.

When the first place I chose wasn't my husband's favorite, I agreed to look at 1 more. We both knew it was the one the second we walked in. The most common comment we got about the wedding was \"WHERE did you find this place?\" The venue is absolutely stunning! We wanted a place that would let us bring in our own everything. Our own decor, caterer, centerpieces, etc. This was the place. It was a blank slate, but a beautiful canvas. So much potential for those with or even without imagination. From the fireplace, to the fountain yard, to the outdoor patio, everything is just stunning. My favorite comment was \"the most romantic wedding ever\" - simply from the venue. The fact that it is in a public park also made things pretty easy. I stopped by a few times during the planning just to glance around and dream about the day. It is so secluded, very far from the street, and is a BEAUTIFUL backdrop for photos. We plan to have picnics in the park often to reminisce about our perfect wedding. Reviewed on 14-10-2012

The outdoor areas really made for some beautiful formal pictures. My only complaint is that during the reception, the park ranger approached both my father-in-law and my mother and asked for payment, even though they had both paid their parts. After excusing himself to check his records, he came back to them and told them they were all set. It just seemed a bit rude and unprofessional to approach our parents, at our reception, without checking the books first. Reviewed on 29-08-2012

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful venue in the Southeastern Pennsylvania area, and to top it off, it’s very reasonably priced. We also appreciated that we were able to rent the venue for the whole day and extend for an extra couple of hours after the normal finishing time (for an extra fee). The bridal chamber is HUGE and STUNNING and we made use of it by getting ready there. \r\rWe held our ceremony outdoors although the indoor option in case of rain would have been lovely as well. The grounds and the building are really well maintained, and the park management has been investing in improvements each year. \r\rThis venue allows you to bring in outside vendors. For us, this was great because it gave us the flexibility to choose who we wanted. Our caterer (Diverse Catering and Event Design – highly recommended) provided the event management on the day so we didn’t need additional support from the venue or a separate wedding planner.

It offered the best setting for an outdoor ceremony with reception close by and the ballroom would've worked equally well if it had rained. Kevin the event coordinator was very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The bridal suite was amazing - one of a kind!! The ballroom was old school gorgeous with a handmade plaster ceiling and huge fireplace. Plenty of room to accommodate 125 guests, a 10 piece band and have a decent dancefloor. LOTS of places for amazing photos. Updated bathrooms with easy access and facility is handicap accessible. Only concern was the kitchen facilities are not fully updated - they have warming capabilities only - but that wasn't any problem for our caterer - Christina's Catering - who does many many weddings here. Also the lighting in the ballroom at night is a bit dim - we chose to put lanterns, string lights and lighted branch arrangements around it and this worked beautifully for us!

We had been looking for a mansion and gardens to have our wedding at, and we fell in love with this gem as soon as we visited it. Not only was it stunningly beautiful, but it was less than half the cost of other mansion & garden venues in the area. All of our guests commented on how gorgeous and romantic the setting for our wedding was. Kevin, the event coordinator, was very helpful and friendly, and allowed us to decorate however we wished (within reason- it is a historic building), although to be honest it was so beautiful it hardly needed any decoration at all. This venue also photographs exceptionally well, and our photographer was thrilled to shoot us in such a wonderful setting. If you are interested in this site, it does book up very quickly so be sure to reserve it 1 year + before your wedding in order to have your pick of dates. We booked our wedding over a year in advance and got one of the last remaining Saturdays with nice weather.
