The wedding on Saturday was amazing. I cannot begin to tell you how many people were in awe of BMH. They used words like magical, amazing, breathtaking, and like a fairy tale. Having the ceremony in the barn was so very quaint and beautiful. With all the rain surrounding the weekend, the weather on Saturday could not have been more perfect for the cocktail hour and reception. People are still sending me emails about the fabulous time they had and how very special the evening was. Deb from Perfect Setting was absolutely amazing – she was hands on every step of the way and could not have been more thorough and efficient in making certain everything went smoothly.

Truly, truly a wonderful experience and one that we will be talking about forever.

BMH had the perfect location for the wedding we wanted. There were three sites to chose from and we decided to have our wedding at the waterfall (other locations: gazebo and pond). Lots of beautiful trees and bridges to cross & beautiful lush green grass everywhere. Nancy was very easy to work with & she responds to e-mails immediately. We even forgot a few things & went the day after the ceremony & she had everything waiting for us! Nancy invited us to come back any time we are in the area to just walk the grounds, reminisce, and have lunch, if we please. Lovely location & I cannot wait to visit on our 1-yr-anniversary. =)

We had an outside caterer, so cannot comment on catering through BMH.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Can not say enough amazing things about this venue and working with Nancy. She was great from the start. My husband and I looked at a LOT of venues and it came down to two. I could not be more pleased with our choice of BMH. We had visited the venue three times prior to our wedding day, and nothing could have set me up for how truly amazing it all turned out on the day of!

Nancy gave us great recommendations for all our vendors and was so accommodating throughout the whole process. She worked so closely with my dad and I over the 15 months engagement period. She was FANTASTIC on the day of. She made sure everything ran smooth, made sure everyone had communicated with one another, and was completely reliable. She took fantastic photos that she shared with my husband and I, and gave us a beautiful gift.

BMH is an absolutely stunning venue. Your traditional, stuffy hotel ballrooms just cant compete!!! This place is original and beautiful. The property is open, well taken care of, and the room itself is stunning. I absolutely recommend this venue, over and over. We got TONS of feedback from our guests, and everyone raved about the room and the venue itself. I will say, although the pictures are beautiful, it does NOT do the place enough justice.

Some people are overwhelmed by venues that don't include other services, but my husband and I had a great time choosing our catering company and other vendors. Also, Nancy has a lot of great partnerships with vendors, and really helped us out. Her feedback was honest, and she was really great at matching our personalities with vendors we would work well with. GREAT PLACE!

The best outdoor wedding venue in Chester County. The guests would NOT stop talking about how wonderful this place is. And if you are from Chester County it is like a hidden gem. Nancy and her team are wonderful to work with and responde immediately to any and all questions. The space is huge and does not feel like a "tented" wedding at all!! Everything about this place is just perfect. I would very highly recommend this venue.

I can not say enough good things about this place. It was so beautiful and it was me and my husbands first choice when looking for Wedding venues. Nancy the owner was such a pleasure to work with. We booked our venue 2 years before the ceremony and although it seemed so far away Nancy was always there to answer any questions and doubts I may have had along the way. This was the venue of my dreams and I know that it will be the venue of other brides dreams as well. Just remember less is more with this site. You don't need a whole lot of flowers as it is well lanscaped and maintained. Great location for pictures.

I just got married this past September and could not have asked for a more beautiful day! Our ceremony took place in a church, but we had our cocktail hour and reception at the Brandywine Manor House. Nancy is the wedding coordinator there and was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is very easy to talk to and is very good at responding to emails and such. We had no worries knowing that she was helping to coordinate our day. The grounds at BMH are breathtaking. The area is completely secluded, being surrounded by trees. It is very private. They have done a lot of renovations over the last few years and now have two gazebo's, two foot bridges, and a very pretty fountain. We held our cocktail hour on the terrace which was very nice and allowed our guests to really enjoy the gardens and view of the lake. The tent itself is hardly a tent. It even has glass doors! The liner in the tent is the best I've seen and really gives it an elegant feel as opposed to the typical outdoor wedding tents I've seen. We took advantage of the outdoor 'candlight walkway' package which is basically a bunch of candle-lit lanterns lining the walkways and some hanging in the trees. We also bought an uplighting package including the starlight. You can pick pretty much any color you want and they will light the tent that way... at night the tent looked amazing with the lighting coordinating with my wedding colors! The starlight looks like just that... starlight! Very pretty. We received lots of compliments from our guests on how awesome the venue was. We are so thrilled that we chose BMH. They did an incredible job. BMH allows you to choose your own caterer and other vendors, but Nancy did provide a list of many that they've worked with before and recommend. I highly recommend you look into BMH for your wedding!

Brandywine Manor House is the most beautiful outside venue you could hope for! It by far surpassed any dream I could have had of my wedding day! If you always dreamed of an outside wedding, this place is perfect! The grounds are breathtaking and astoundingly beautiful. Nancy is constantly updating it to make it even more beautiful and adding things that brides request would be helpful. Since the day we toured the place we knew it was the one we wanted, and we had visited 15-20 venues by then. It stands out that much! Nancy showed us around the place and she took the time to be very informative and answer all of our questions. She was so professional, it was amazing to me how many places we toured lacked professionalism. She is upbeat and it is obvious she loves what she does, and she is excellent at it. Every time I had a question leading up to the wedding she ALWAYS got back to me within 24 hours no matter what, which was not expected (especially some of those times I sent the emails) but it was very appreciated. I think her attention to detail is Eck-ceptional ;-) and it is no wonder she has such a loved venue. I absolutely LOVED the tent at night as well, the lighting turned out awesome!
My ONLY complaint is that the tent was very hot. There are fans in the tent but they were pointed at the ceiling, which did not help the dance floor! Please think about the weather when planning your event here, there was a nice breeze outside that night, but only one side of the tent opens (so that the table arrangements do not fall over) A lot of people did not dance because of how hot it was, and I was soaking wet by the end of the night!
My only other recommendation if you decide on this venue, since you choose all of your own vendors, it is not possible to delegate everything you want done between your DJ, florist, and caterer. I would highly recommend hiring a coordinator for that day, that is the only thing I would have done differently! Since all of my family were coming in from out of town, we had no help with family members for set up so we relied all on the vendors, and many details were missed...which did not change the outcome of the day, but of course it would have been more of a peace of mind if it had been done!!
The guests absolutely LOVED the place, and I heard over and over again how beautiful it was! Many of them saw the pictures of the place online before they came, but they said after they got there and saw the place the pictures do not do it justice! (which is true!)
Thank you Nancy for providing the most gorgeous venue we could have hoped for and the most amazing wedding day that we will cherish forever!

Brandywine Manor House is a beautiful setting to have a wedding and reception. Not only will your pictures look amazing with the options of backgrounds outside. The inside pictures will look amazing also with the drapped ceiling and chandeliers. It was a pleasure working with Nancy and her team in creating a wedding to remember. Thank you Nancy for all your wonderful help and ideas; you helped to make our daughters wedding perfect.

Our reception at Brandywine Manor House was a dream come true. Peaceful and serene, classy but not overdone, beautiful and natural. Nancy Eck and her staff provided us with guidance from the beginning stages and then were there to make sure that everything went smoothly. Their gorgeous tent setting kept us safe from a thunderstorm and provided views of a pond, woods, and corn fields. The setting was just perfect and we were so happy with everything!
