About

Abington Art Center is a historic venue in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania that hosts weddings and other special occasions. Situated on the exquisite estate of Alverthorpe Manor, these surroundings blend verdant gardens with contemporary artwork for a stunning backdrop for events. The management of this venue invites couples that are planning a truly remarkable celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

The Alverthorpe estate was established in the early 1800s and elements have survived to the modern day, including a stone folly, large stone wall, and bridge. An intimate Quaker meetinghouse was constructed in 1836 and still stands on the property. The modern manor was built in 1939, a 52-room mansion inspired by the art deco architectural style. Rosenwald's huge collection of rare prints and books was once housed in the Art Center's Studio School wing and since were moved to Washington, DC. The nationally-renowned Art Park stretches across 27 beautiful acres and helps to create an exceptional atmosphere for special events. For weddings and events, this locale offers ample space for indoor events or outdoor, whether covered or uncovered. Parking facilities and wheelchair-accessible features provide additional comfort and convenience for all guests.

    Kate Winters and Alvethorpe Manor are both fantastic! Kate’s creativity, willingness to please and strive for perfection are immeasurable. They’re my new “go to” event people!

    Abington Art Center was the first venue we viewed and we immediately fell in love. Sam was fantastic to work with and helped us with every request. Sam was willing to work with our timeline, helped run rehearsal/the wedding day and any time we needed anything (including things we forgot at the hotel) her and the team found a solution. Our guests loved the Center, the art, and the surrounding nature. We did a lot of our own decorations including the flowers and the Center was more than happy to work with us. We could not have been happier with our selection.

We had the pleasure of working an event at Abington Art Center this past October. Sam was always very communicative and made the process leading up to the wedding enjoyable and easy. She was very flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend the Art Center for your wedding or other special event! Looking forward to working there again soon :)
