We found Neighborhood House by accident and we couldn’t be more pleased with how our reception turned out. Megan, then Hannah and the rest of the team at Neighborhood House took what was in my head and brought it to life. This is not your typical venue, but if you’re a DIY bride and are willing to transform the space yourself you won’t be disappointed. We had a blast and are so happy with how everything turned out!

I'm not really sure how we came across the Christ Church Neighborhood House while search for venues. Honestly, we had our heart set on another venue, but seeing it in person, we knew it wasn't the right fit for us. The next day, we met Megan for a tour of the Neighborhood House, and fell in love instantly. At the time, the theater was set for a theatrical performance, but I saw through the set and the risers of chairs and knew it was our place. Set back from 2nd Street, surrounded by cobblestones, CCNH is quaint, historic and definitely different. I loved the charm inside- the original basketball court in the theater, the exposed brick walls, the grand feeling in the Great Hall. CCNH provided us with a blank slate to do whatever (within reason!) we wanted as far as decorations, and when we finally saw it all come together, it was exactly as beautiful and colorful as we had imagined.

Working with Megan, the venue's Rentals Manager, was a dream. We have been emailing on and off for almost nine months; her responses were always quick and full of detail. She really knows how to help plan an event! Although CCNH doesn't serve primarily as a wedding venue, Megan was super knowledgeable and helpful and we worked really well together. So much so, I am going to miss talking with her now that it's all over. She worked so hard to help our vision come to life! We keep hearing how much our guests loved the unique charm of our venue, and it really warms our hearts. Thank you, Neighborhood House, for helping us throw an amazing party!

I was "lucky" enough to have my wedding reception at the Christ Church Neighborhood House on St. Patrick's Day '17 (3/17/17). We chose to utilize the Great Hall for the reception space & since we were married at Christ Church next door, we utilized their 1st floor rooms before the ceremony for pictures. The Great Hall room was perfect size for my 80 person guest list. . Any more than this many guests, you may want to consider their theater room on the 3rd floor. We do not pick the theater since we were going for a historic theme. Being an avid history lover and former tour guide in the area, I was in awe to find out the neighborhood house was in my budget. I was a pay-for-my-own wedding bride & guests left thinking the reception cost a fortune being in Old City... which Brides, you gotta feel good about that! It is a beautiful venue I loved the natural light during dinner & cocktail hour! A note: I hired a piano player to play on the grand piano during cocktail hour, guests loved it!! On top of that: Megan, the coordinator for the location, was flexible and responsive to my many questions and working with a new caterer. I planned my wedding from out of state 13 hours away and I was also a do-it-yourself bride so the patience CCNH had with my many emails and vendor meetings while I was not present did not go un-noticed. Thank you Megan for once again making my dream wedding reception a reality! At the end of the wedding, we had a grand good-bye with sparklers on the cobble stone street right out front, the pictures I have I will cherish forever. Obviously, not enough good enough things to say about CCNH. A hidden gem in Olde City!
