My wedding reception at HYS was amazing. I grew up in the area and was familiar with HYS, but had never attended any formal functions in the building. Cait was wonderful to work with, very organized and responsive, and all the vendors (cake, catering, DJ, etc) she suggested were fantastic too! She coordinated with us and allowed us to drop off our decorations earlier in the week since we would be doing our ceremony at a church and we had friends set up the reception day of. Even with the max of 150 guests, it didnât feel as crowded as I thought, which was great because I was worried everyone would be squished! Many of my family friends still tell me it was the best wedding they have been to!

We could not have asked for a better venue than The Washington. The property is so, so gorgeous and meticulously maintained, and I love that the history of the site is incorporated in the decor. The location was stunning and comfortable for our guests, and we loved how helpful and communicative the staff was. They made our wedding flow seamlessly and were so accommodating and helpful when it came to all of the little things that popped up during planning.

We had our wedding at The Washington this June. The venue is such a beautiful hidden gem- rustic but not a barn, has a whimsical garden feel but also historic charm. We had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour and indoor reception, which was a perfect mix. Cait at the Washington was so sweet and easy to work with, and the day went seamlessly. You can choose your caterer which is also great for those with varied preferences. Photos (while breathtaking) simply do not do it justice- there are so many beautiful spots for special moments and photos. We wouldnât change a thing and highly recommend The Washington for your big day!

June 2023 Wedding: We LOVED our venue! The price is phenomenal and the spaces are all beautiful. We love the artifacts in the brick room and the easy flow of areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, etc. Cait and Ann (venue coordinators) weâre both fantastic and very helpful throughout the entire process. It rained on our day, but the inside backup plan is just as beautiful (maybe even better!) We also utilized the covered porch for picture and throughout the day, even with some rain- we all stayed dry. We definitely recommend adding The Washington to your list. We knew it was the one for us as soon as we toured. âșïž

We visited a few venues in our search, but once we toured The Washington we knew we found it! The gardens are beautifully kept by a Womenâs non-profit and The Washington has natural historic charm, so we knew we could go minimal decor and it would be beautiful and rustic as it was. Cait gave a list of vendors theyâve worked with and we did our search from there and found we really liked a few of them! We ended up booking most of our vendors from that suggestion list and we had our dream wedding!

We got married on 4/22/23 and were absolutely thrilled that the Washington was our venue. We ended up having to move the wedding indoors due to an incoming storm, but the indoor option was just as beautiful and intimate. Even with the rain, we were still able to use the covered porch for cocktail hour and the reception hall was absolutely stunning. The space was perfection for our ~110 guest wedding. Caitlin and Ann were an absolute joy to work with; answering every question we had throughout the entire process.

The one thing my now-husband and I could agree on in terms of wedding venue was that we didnât want to get married at a wedding factory. We wanted a personal experience with our friends and family and not bump against multiple other weddings happening the same day/time. This building is in a beautiful, private setting that is also easily accessible from lots of different directions. The Washington was able to provide great recommendations from their approved vendors list and we had precisely the experience we wanted for our day. I cannot rave about this place enough!!

We had our ceremony and reception at The Washington and it was a perfect day! There are a few options for an outdoor ceremony space & a \"built-in\" back up plan with an indoor location, so important! For a fall wedding, the grounds were beautiful. Leaves were changing, flowers were still blooming. Our pictures are amazing! I appreciated how easily the venue flows from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner. Everything is close together which makes it easy for guests to navigate. I think it is imperative to mention that this is one of the most affordable wedding venues we looked at. The value of this place is absolutely worth it! Cait was amazing leading up to the wedding, quickly answering our questions & giving suggestions where she could! Ann was a great help to have the day of.

The ceremony took place on the hill by the tree...lovely. The cocktail hour was in the garden and the reception inside. We will cherish all of our memories!! We also appreciate the non-profit status of the venue and all the hard work of volunteers and donors.

Not many of our guests have even heard of the Washington before, but they were all impressed with its beauty and history. We couldn't have picked a better venue.

Caitlin was super easy to work with and communicated well through email and phone calls. Caitlin was there the day of the wedding to make sure the ceremony went well and kept her cool and a positive attitude even when it started to pour rain unexpectedly less than an hour before the ceremony was scheduled to take place outside. The guests contacted us afterwards to tell us how great it was to be there and took their own picturesque photos on the grounds. Combine this with Jerry over at Perfect Setting, who was amazing to work with, and you are ready for your big day!

My husband and I originally started planning our wedding and booked the Washington at Historic Yellow Springs as our venue in March 2019 for a spring 2020 wedding. Flash forward 2.5 years and 3 rescheduled wedding dates later (due to COVID), we finally had our perfect wedding day on September 10, 2021. I can not say enough good things about Caitlin and Brittany at the Washington. Caitlin kept us updated through the entire process, and was as accommodating as possible while we tried to figure out new wedding dates for the safety of our guests. When our big day finally came, Brittany could not have been a more reassuring, calming presence. She was great directing the space during set-up and keeping everything organized for our ceremony. The grounds and event space at the Washington are insanely beautiful and our wedding guests are still raving about it almost a month later.

The Washington was everything we could have ever hoped for and more to bring our natural, garden wedding dreams to life. The venue was rustic and comfortable yet still polished, beautifully landscaped, spacious but not too big that the venue felt empty, and within our budget. We were married outside under the tree, but the indoor ceremony space was also gorgeous - it was truly a win-win situation. Cait was incredibly professional, helpful, patient, and empathetic throughout our long, rescheduled COVID wedding process. She answered emails in a timely manner and put my mind completely at ease on the day of our wedding. Even after being on maternity leave the previous few months, she jumped right back in without missing a beat.

This venue is absolutely perfect! The historic charm has so much character and all of our guests loved it! Our outdoor ceremony was beautiful and our guests loved the reception inside the historic building. We had our perfect wedding here in 2018. Cait made everything so easy to plan and was an amazing coordinator.

We cannot express enough how pleased we have been working with Caitlin and the Washington during this crazy time. She has been thoughtful, considerate, flexible and all around supportive of making the best possible outcome for us.It's easy to be accommodating when there isn't a pandemic; they have truly risen above the rest in their efforts to reasonably reschedule and see to our needs. If this is how the Washington conducts themselves during an ever-changing and restrictive pandemic, this is a testament to their character, passion and professionalism.Their willingness to adapt and make our day the best it could be, in spite of the restrictions meant a lot to us and our limited guests.Top notch organization with top notch people; a standard of service above the rest. Thank you so much for helping in the most sincere way to make our day special and we look forward to working with you in the future!Matt and Ange

My fiancĂ© and I like so many other couples have had to change our original plans for our wedding day at The Washington because of COVID19. Although we havenât had our wedding yet because we rescheduled for next year, I feel compelled to leave a review regarding our experience so far.Caitlin and the rest of the staff at the Washington have been absolutely wonderful throughout this crazy, stressful time. With so many unknowns, she has kept our peace of mind as her top priority.

From the moment we walked onto the grounds at Washington at HYS, we knew that this was the perfect place for us. We didn't look at any other venues at all. Romantic, intimate and beautiful are just a few words to describe this historic inn. We had a beautiful fall day and the grounds are so beautifully landscaped, we didn't need anything else to create a rustic feel. And if the beautiful space isn't enough for you, enter Cait. Cait is simply the BEST. She was responsive and helpful throughout our entire planning process, and even helped calm me down about wedding planning stresses. Day of, I was surprised she wasn't wearing a superhero cape the way she made sure every detail was ready and perfect. The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs was the perfect place to be married. It made our wedding day feel like a dream. We can not wait to go back and stroll the grounds soon. Thank you Cait, we love you!

That wouldnât have been possible without Cait, our venue coordinator, who was a rockstar throughout the whole process. I had zero worries as a bride because of Cait & Beatrice. The planning process over our 2 year engagement was flawless & it all came to life the day of our wedding. The flow of the venue really stood out to not only us, but the guests as well. We got married under the tree, had cocktail hour down in the garden, and even had our first look pictures taken in the ruins. The bridal suite was such a beautiful space for me and my girls to get ready in. We had a smaller wedding with a lot of out-of-town guests, so it was wonderful having all the history around us for people to not only have fun, but to learn about what the venue once was. I wish we could relive this day over and over. THANK you Cait from the bottom of our hearts!

First, look at the photos - it's obvious how beautiful and magical this place is! It's a perfect place if you are looking for something unique, but not eccentric. The FLOW is perfect especially if you use the ruins/tree area - your guests will be moving throughout the venue during the whole event, which was one of my favorite things. onto planning: My wedding was the only one I have ever been a part of so planning was ALL new territory for me. Caitlin helped me feel very comfortable the entire time. She's an easy email or phone call (Caitlin thank you for being so kind on the phone - I'm usually that person with the 'phone anxiety' haha). They give a great selection of vendors, too! I highly suggest checking The Washington out my wedding there was PERFECT!

Would give negative starts if possible. Loved the venue itself and it has great reviews. Staff is TERRIBLE. They canceled my wedding 58 days before we were supposed to say I do. I had called the planner there a few days before my last deposit to discuss things and she told me not to put any further money down yet as they were sending me a document next week. Well, the document was a letter stating they were canceling and lack of payment was listed as one of the reasons (as mentioned above, the same payment I was told not to make). They blocked my calls, stopped responding to my emails. I sent my wedding planner to talk with them and they determined they were \"discussing\" if they would give my deposit back. I eventually did get my deposit back, lost $1,000 to the caterer I booked because their venue required you to pick off a list. I had to find a new wedding venue ASAP and managed luckily to secure one by the end of the week. Had to spend almost $200 on rushing out new invitations with the updated location. A lot of stress and undue hardship caused by this venue. I would never recommend them to anyone after this experience.

We fell in love with The Washington at HYS the minute we toured it. It was the perfect setting for our wedding in so many ways and working with Caitlin, our venue coordinator, made it even better. Caitlin is the sweetest person to work with and she always answered all our questions right away. We did not have to worry about anything with Caitlin being our venue coordinator. We wanted to be surrounded by nature, gardens, foliage, rustic charm, and we wanted our venue to have a feeling of intimacy, character and history to it. We also wanted to have our ceremony and reception at the same location. The Washington offered all of this in addition to three outdoor ceremony locations that we could choose from (and the indoor space for rainy days was not too shabby either). The grounds of The Washington were simply beautiful no matter where you looked. It also offered a beautiful, spacious bridal suite and groom's lounge. We cannot express how perfect The Washington was for a our wedding day.

From our first tour to our wedding day, Caitlin was extremely helpful and always available for questions and emails. She really helped me not get overwhelmed by the whole process of planning a wedding, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything we wanted. Caitlin even helped with recommending some vendors I still needed to book. There is so much value for the price of booking The Washington - the fact that there is only one event each day and the length of the rental means you never feel rushed. We even dropped our decor off the night before and were able to store it, which was incredibly helpful for the morning of. The fact that the venue has an indoor ceremony space in addition to the three outdoor options was really important to us. The weather forecast on our wedding day was a toss up, and knowing we were able to wait until the last second to make that call was a big stress relief. The bridal and groom suites are spacious and beautiful, everyone enjoyed getting ready and hanging out in them. We got married at the tree, which made a perfect backdrop for our October ceremony. We loved that our guests could walk around the gorgeous grounds during cocktail hour and no one ever felt crammed in one area or room. Seating almost 150 guests in the dining room for dinner and still having plenty of room to dance was great. Having our wedding at The Washington felt like inviting our guests to our home. The history and beauty of the property is overwhelming. It was unforgettable and I would absolutely recommend The Washington to anyone planning a wedding!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a historic facility, with some outdoor charm and rustic feel. Add Serock Catering and you'll have a wedding to remember.

Our wedding dreams came true as soon as we stepped onto the grounds of The Washington. We searched and searched throughout NJ and PA to find our perfect wedding venue. We wanted a space that was unique, timeless, and affordable. This was very difficult to come by. However, The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs checked all of our boxes, and we could not be more thrilled to have stumbled upon this gem. The space offers nature and history, plus all the amenities you need for a full scale wedding - kitchen, reception room, bridal suite, groomâs area, bathrooms, multiple outdoor ceremony locations, and an indoor âPlan B if it Rainsâ room. We chose to have our ceremony underneath the gorgeous oak tree on the property. Our pictures are stunning! Our guests loved the charm and coziness of the space. Caitlin Burton, the venue manager, is SO friendly and easy to work with. From the tour, the booking, the day of the wedding, and the many emails in between, she was so professional and helpful every step of the way. Cannot recommend The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs enough. It is the most magical place to say I do.

This venue was the absolutely PERFECT place for the wedding reception that my husband and I could ever dream of! I had this venue on my mind ever since I could remember. We got married at a church in Gilbertsville, PA and had our cocktail hour as well as our reception at the Washington. We arrived and the lush gardens, beautiful courtyard and manicured grounds were JUST what we envisioned. We were able to get some great shots in the courtyard of the entire bridal party as well as a few of just Alec and I. It then started to pour raining, but that did not stop us! What is great about this venue is that even with it raining, the porch area of the Washington was the perfect back drop for our wedding photos of just the two of us. We could not be happier with the reception room itself, it was a perfect space for our near 100 person wedding. There was plenty of room for a dance floor as well as enough elbow space for all of our guests. We had an absolutely perfect wedding and we couldn't be happier with how our day turned out, rain showers and all!

We loved the venue from the second we walked on the property. We fell in love with the big tree and luckily the weather held out for our ceremony. Caitlin was very helpful before our big day. The only disappointment we had was she left right after our ceremony. I was shocked when she left since I was under the impression she was to be there all night to help coordinate. My DJ was frustrated as well since he stepped up to help coordinate dances and cake cutting. Our day was very special and it was perfect for us. The venue had everything we every dreamed of. I would still recommend the venue and already have one of my girlfriends planning her wedding there for the spring!

We also went with the âBYOâ caterer, which required a little more work, but it was absolutely worth it to have authentic Hawaiian food and a donut wall to celebrate who we are and what we like. The utilization of the entire space with the gardens and the ruins was nothing short of breathtaking. All of our guests enjoyed the afternoon inside and out! Weâve received so many compliments about the location and how beautiful we made it.

We got very lucky with our weather, but it was great to have a back up plan ready to go in case the sky opened up prior to the ceremony. The history of the buildings added a lot of charm to the venue - great location for pictures. The venue does a great job of keeping the grounds beautiful both inside and out!

The grounds are so beautiful and unique. For us it was important to have out wedding at a venue that does not churn out weddings like a copier. We wanted to have something that really was unique and 'us'. Almost every person at the wedding said to me- this whole wedding is so you. That is why The Washington is so amazing, it gives you the ability to make it yours and to add special touches that mean a lot to you as a couple. Caitlin is incredibly responsive and always calmed any anxiety I had about the day or fear of something not working out- I feel the girl has a solution for just about any issue. My only sadness is that I cannot relive the day over and over again.

One visit to this venue will, and you will conclude like we did that this is a perfect place for a wedding. The small village of Yellow Springs is quiet and filled with natural beauty. The Washington itself is a well preserved, historic building with a specail historic charm to it. We had one of our ceremonies outdoors, and there were at least three gorgeous locations for us to choose from for this, but we were relieved that they also have an indoor space that could easily fit all our guests if the weather was bad. The reception hall could fit up to 150 guests, but we topped off at 130 which allowed for an ample sized dance floor. The staff at the Washington were very pleasant and helpful before and on the day of the wedding at helping us plan our wedding day, giving us access at a reasonable time day of, and serving as de facto wedding coordinators for our ceremonies. We were looking for a bucolic or farm setting for our wedding, and this fit the bill and was one of the cheaper venues we came across. What was also attractive is that they had relationships with multiple caterers to give us a better chance to find one in our price range. There is plenty of parking on site for guests, but it is accessible by a motor coach too. We chose a late October date, and the many trees on site provided an amazing colorful backdrop for our event.

Our ceremony was held by the tree, with cocktail hour by the fountain, and pictures taken by the ruins and the herb garden. There are so many picturesque options to choose from and a backup indoor ceremony option (just in case). It completely captured the rustic, elegant, ânon-wedding hall vibeâ that we were going for and guests remarked on the venueâs beauty and unique ambiance.

We fell in love with the Washington right away and booked 2 years in advance. The venue is absolutely perfect, like something out of a fairy tale. The woodland setting is beautiful and so are the gardens, courtyard, meadows, and historic buildings. We especially loved the history of the site. The inside of the venue for the reception was so beautiful it hardly needed any decoration, and it was spacious but also felt sweet and intimate at the same time. We got married on the hill in the stone ruins, and luckily did not need the back-up indoor ceremony site, but that was beautiful too! The suites for the bridal party to get ready in were beautiful and super helpful. The amenities are great and since we chose to get married on a weekday, it was incredibly affordable. The current venue manager Cait is absolutely fantastic! She worked so hard and really made our wedding day the perfect fairytale I always dreamed about. She was on top of everything, responded to emails and calls right away, checked in with me often to make sure she understood our vision for the wedding, and she was there at the rehearsal and day of to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was flexible and constantly offered to help and asked if we needed anything or needed her to look into anything, and was a godsend while we were trying to figure out ceremony arrangements and timing. She really went above and beyond and was so sweet interacting with us, our bridal party, parents, and wedding guests. We did have a few issues with previous venue managers there- the venue went through 3 different managers since we booked and the previous one was unhelpful and made the process stressful. She left a few months before our wedding and we were worried but then Cait took over and was a dream come true. We absolutely recommend the Washington as a venue and would get married there again in a heartbeat. Like us, our guests were in love with the place and kept saying how beautiful and unique the venue is. Thank you!

There is also a \"Plan B\" space that is also pretty, should we have had rain cancel our plans. We chose the fountain as our ceremony site and had a musician duo playing. It was absolutely picture perfect. After the ceremony, we gathered for family pictures in front of the beautiful historic Washington and then got to enjoy cocktail hour in the Brick Room and also outside in the walkway space. Bernadette Duffy is absolutely amazing and will work extremely hard to give you exactly what you want for your wedding day. She is such a professional and works seemlessly with the venue's coordinators as well. Our reception was held in the Washington and the decor, the flowers, the venue, everything was perfect.

âThe Washington was everything my husband and I had ever dreamed of and so much more. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted something unique, something us, someplace no one had ever been. We wanted our guests to walk into our venue and say 'WOW this is so Matt and Erin.' Mission accomplished! This was our one and only venue we toured. From the gorgeous courtyard where we were married, to the ruins where we took pictures, to the gorgeous reception space with its stunning original hardwoods and beautiful chandlers, it was everything we had hoped to find. \r\rWorking with Allie was a dream - she transitioned out right before our wedding but their current venue manager, Brittany was absolutely wonderful and picked up where Allie left off seamlessly. Getting ready that day was so wonderful thanks to the beautiful bridal suite and my hubby-to-be was thrilled to have the grooms suite. We had viewed several online that provided no where for him to get ready - it's his day too! That was a must for us. Our guests loved wandering the property during cocktail hour and could not get over how beautiful The Washington is. We could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more perfect venue. I wish I could do it all over again!

âThe Washington was everything my husband and I had ever dreamed of and so much more. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted something unique, something us, someplace no one had ever been. We wanted our guests to walk into our venue and say 'WOW this is so Matt and Erin.' Mission accomplished! This was our one and only venue we toured. From the gorgeous courtyard where we were married, to the ruins where we took pictures, to the gorgeous reception space with its stunning original hardwoods and beautiful chandlers, it was everything we had hoped to find. \r\rWorking with Allie was a dream - she transitioned out right before our wedding but their current venue manager, Brittany was absolutely wonderful and picked up where Allie left off seamlessly.

Our daughter and son in law chose this venue for their September wedding and we could not have been more pleased. The outdoor wedding was by the ruins of an old hospital, set at the top of a hill. The reception was held inside the Washington and thanks to the wonderful staff (Allie, a special thanks for all your hard work), it went off without a glitch. All of our guests said they had not been to such a beautiful place for a wedding before and we agree!

This is a gorgeous venue. We were married mid May 2015, under the tree. Allie was our coordinator and she was wonderful to work with. She was accommodating, professional, and patient with all our questions. She answered emails quickly, which is really helpful when you are contacting multiple vendors multiple times. We really can't say enough about Allie and this location. The ruins, gardens, and historic building made for a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. The other great thing about this location is the ability to choose your caterer. They have preferred caterers to choose from so you are not locked into the price or offerings of just one. The proximity to area hotels is also a great plus. You get the quiet and privacy of Historic Yellow Springs with the convenience of Exton's hotels. It was a short ten minute shuttle ride for our guests to get to and from The Washington.

The Washington at Yellow Springs is the most beautiful and unique venue in the Philly burbs! A beautiful building filled with history, good energy and immaculate upkeep, it was easy for us to choose the Washington as our wedding venue with no hesitation. \r\rA quarter of the way through the planning process, there was a change in event coordinators and the transition was flawless. Allie, the current event coordinator, picked our plans right up as if she was there planning from the beginning. This was just the start of what turned out to be a perfect event. \r\rAllie is professional, talented, accomodating and truly loves her job at The Washington. On a day where things can get tense and sometimes stressful, Allie's calm disposition and swift execution are just what it takes to make a successful coordinator and smooth running wedding day. Any problem that arose with our other vendors, Allie was right there to correct it and put me at ease. She was supportive from start to finish. \r\rAllie is amazing at what she does. She is organized, kind and patient and I highly recommend The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs to anyone looking for a gorgeous wedding venue with the perfect event coordinator.

I had my wedding here on May 9, 2015 and it was absolutely perfect. Flowers were in bloom, grass and trees were green, and it misted in the morning but was sunny for the wedding and pictures! \r\rI highly recommend this wedding venue. It's beautiful and rustic and Allie, the events manager, is excellent. She answered all of my emails and calls for over a year and responded so fast. She was very helpful with the rehearsal and knowing where everyone should stand and telling us when to walk. Allie even called all of my other vendors the week of to go over the logistics. I do recommend HYS create a fact sheet for all of the frequently asked questions. I'm sure brides are all asking the same things. \r\rWe had the ceremony at the fountain and cocktail hour by the ruins and big tree. I recommend that option as it was really fun for the guests to see the beautiful venue and spread out a little. \r\rThe venue is affordable compared to other places. 150 people is the max and we had 120. I'm glad we didn't have very many more as we had a band and DJ plus a big dance floor. I would think 130 is comfortable. 150 would require the removal of tables for dancing or all round tables. Only negative is there are not any hotels less than 15 minutes away, but we used the Sheraton and their shuttle bus. We also paid an extra $500 to have a 6 hour event instead of 5. Well worth it.\r\rI used Jimmy Duffy's Catering from the preferred vendor list. You also have to pay them an extra $900 to stay for 6 hours instead of 5. The food was great and the cheapest option compared to other approved vendors. However, I don't feel that I received great customer service from Duffy's, but that's for another review. \r\rLastly, the groundskeeper at HYS works very hard to prep the outside for weddings. She was mowing the lawn, cleaning the fountain, etc. She even gave my parents a tour when they showed up unannounced the day before the wedding to check it out. \r\rBe aware the venue did get really hot at the reception. The building may not have AC or fans. It was May 9, so I never thought to ask about air conditioning. But this year it was in the 80s instead of the normal 70s. \r\rI would definitely choose Historic Yellow Springs if I had to rewind time and do it again!

As soon as we took a tour and walked around the grounds of the Washington at Historic Yellow Springs, we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married! It's rustic, the grounds are maintained beautifully and it's full of awesome history. It's a rare gem that not enough people know about! The events manager, Allie was a dream to work with--so flexible, knowledgeable and easy going. She was always there to answer my questions and to offer solutions to every problem that would pop up. On the wedding day, she was there working seamlessly with the other vendors to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch (which it did!). On the actual wedding day, it was basically pouring all day (we were planning on getting married outside!) and we were allowed to wait until the last minute to make the call. Well, it stopped raining about a half an hour before the ceremony and we ended up getting married outside just like we planned! We had our reception inside and it was absolutely beautiful! The room just glowed and it was the perfect amount of space for us. If we could do it all over again (and we wish that we could!) we would choose this venue any day of the week!

After exhausting our venue searches for beautiful or acceptable locations in DE, I turned to theknot.com to help me try to find somewhere close for our wedding. When we saw the pictures of The Washington, we were so excited to visit. We had our initial site visit with Eileen and new flowers had just been planted, so it was less than we hoped, but the inside was gorgeous and had so much history we decided to go with it anyway. \r\rA few months later, we did a surprise visit (the day before Callie's wedding) and the grounds were beautiful. The new flowers had taken wonderfully and we knew they'd be fantastic by our wedding. Callie responded to all of my emails timely and was always so helpful. She was a delight! \r\rWe loved the site so much, we had our engagement photos taken there in the spring and they turned out so great! We were looking forward to re-staging some of them on the wedding day.\r\rThe day before our wedding, we were able to drop off our supplies and we met the grounds supervisor, Andy. She was also great and told us what she'd have done before our rehearsal that evening and what would be completed before the wedding to make everything look its best. You could tell that she loved the venue and the area. \r\rEileen was there in the evening for the rehearsal and even let us back into the building so we could do my \"Plan B.\" Since rain was forecasted, Eileen made a point of asking me if I'd be ok with an indoor wedding. \r\rSadly, right after our rehearsal, it began to rain heavily through the night and into the morning and then it turned terribly humid. We opted to move the wedding inside and used the Great Hall as our wedding site as well as our reception hall. Eileen, the DJ, and the caterer worked to make the inside just as beautiful for our ceremony. Because the front of the hurricane was coming in, we did lose power very briefly, but it seemed more like someone had accidentally flipped the light switch. It actually made the room look romantic with the candles on the tables and in the windows. We were informed that the building does have a backup generator, so the \"show would go on.\" They were also quick to get us our security deposit back. We look forward to visiting them again in the future.

When we first started searching for venues, we decided to drive by Yellow Springs, just to scope it out. The moment we saw the beautiful historical architecture and gardens, we knew it was our place. \r\rThe Washington at Historic Yellow Springs offered us everything we imagined and more: a perfect tucked away location, a large indoor memorable space (with heating+A/C!), beautiful outdoor scenery, and the ability to customize our wedding any way we wanted.\r\rOur ceremony was held up the hill near the \"ruins.\" This is where a hospital once sat that housed patients of the revolutionary and civil wars. We were astounded at how the rocky foundation area was turned into an elegant herb garden, where our guests enjoyed pre-ceremony refreshments. It provided a perfect backdrop to our ceremony under the big welcoming beach tree. We were able to comfortably fit 150 guests in a warm, intimate, amphitheater-style setting.\r\rOur friends and family enjoyed a cocktail hour in the fountain-courtyard area. Since all of our wedding party photos were taken on site, we were able to get them done very quickly and get back to our party. Our photographer reveled in the many different settings of Yellow Springs: the herb garden, the natural springs, the gazebo, the studio barn, the many porches... so many backdrops!\r\rThe Washington provided a truly magnificent space for our reception, and was all the rave of our friends and family. We themed the darker \"brick room\" as a country-style speakeasy. Our flowers and decorations in the main hall shined in the window sills, on the mantle, and on our tabletops. While we were swept away by the style, comfort, and warmth of the Washington, we learned that it also holds so much of our nation's history.\r\rThe staff at Yellow Springs knocked our wedding out of the park. Anyone who attended will tell you this is an absolutely perfect place for family and friends to gather. It would be a huge mistake to not go see Historic Yellow Springs!

My husband and I were looking for a unique venue where we could have our ceremony outdoors and or reception on-site. We looked at several farms and arboretums, but all of them seemed to require a lot of rental equipment and expense to create the day we had in mind. We were pleasantly surprised when we came across Historic Yellow Springs. It was 5 miles from our home, has incredible outdoor spaces and the perfect setting in the Washington building to host our entire day all at one location! We were able to choose our caterer and rental company and all of our vendors. \r\rCallie, the event manager, was wonderful and a true professional. She checked in with us regularly, kept us up to date on the property and improvements that were being made leading up to our big day. She walked through with our vendors and made herself completely available to us for anything we needed. My sister continues to rave about how helpful she was on the day of our wedding and what a great place we chose to celebrate our wedding day. \r\rWe did a walk through with our photographers the weekend before the wedding to check out lighting and the spots that would be best for photos and staging the event. They were thrilled and kept saying this venue is a photographers dream location. I can not wait to see our pictures! We saw some previews on the night of our wedding and the backdrop is just spectacular.\r\rWe had our ceremony at sunset in the ruins and all of our guests have commented on just how beautiful it was as a setting for a wedding. We did our first look by the big old tree next to the ruins! The Washington Building was such a great combination of history, charm and ambiance. \r\rWe were able to do everything on site. Our hair stylist and make up artists met us at the bridal suite and all of my girls hung out before the festivities, relaxed and without the stress of coordinating getting everyone from point A to B to C and D that day. Our photographers were there with us to capture every moment and we were able to get all of our family/bridal party photos done before the ceremony so that we could get the party started right away. \r\rOur wedding day was a day we will always remember and cherish and Historic Yellow Springs will always be a special place for us to visit in the future together. At a tremendous value, it may just be one of Philadelphia's best kept secrets. \r

WHAT a find this place was. We had a last minute [three months til our wedding] venue disaster and had to book another one, immediately. I can tell you that finding something affordable, pretty, local, AND lets you use your own vendors? Next to impossible, especially with only three months notice. But this little place is amazing. HYS is a historic village that George Washington visited during the Revolutionary War. Ruins of 300+ year old hospital and all original buildings still standing/usable. The grounds are gorgeous and while only 3 miles from the turnpike, you can't even hear cars. Can't say enough about the staff, namely Callie, who was incredibly helpful and sweet about everything. She was there for the entire wedding and stayed until the very last guest [including one or two who slept in their cars] left that night around 12-1am. Can't say enough about this gorgeous, unique venue.

My daughter grew up half a mile from Historic Yellow Springs, so we were thrilled to be able to have her wedding there. The Washington at HYS has undergone a brilliant renovation while retaining its historic charm. The intimate Rosato Garden, with its fountain, is a lovely site for a ceremony. Because we chose July 4 as a wedding date, it was important to have air conditioned space, too, and the interior of the Washington was beautifully cool and comfortable on a 90+ degree day. The oldest part of the building dates from the 1740's with a fireplace and brick floors; the large room, which dates from about the 1830's, has deep-silled windows and a fireplace which give it a lovely elegance. A caterer's kitchen got kudos from my caterer, and the \"bride's room,\" where we prepped for the ceremony, was more than comfortable. (two new bathrooms were added during the renovation, bringing the total to 4.) Callie McGlone, the events planner at HYS was most efficient, and calls and emails were returned promptly, even when she was on vacation! Our wedding was 'sophisticated country' and HYS was perfectly suited to the casual elegance we were seeking.\rThanks to all at HYS who made our day so memorable!
