About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Curtis Arboretum is a historic wedding venue located in Wyncote, Pennsylvania. Offering elegant interiors with room to host a lavish celebration, as well as landscaped grounds, this has everything the happy couple could wish for and more.

Facilities and Capacity

Undoubtedly, what makes Curtis Arboretum such a distinctive setting to host a wedding celebration are the many varieties of trees that populate the surrounding grounds. Because so many trees are dotted around the property, a secluded setting is created, allowing the wedding party to celebrate the couple’s official union in private. Creating a wall of greenery and leaves around certain parts, a little corner of natural heaven is created for the wedding party to enjoy themselves in peace.

Featuring 45 acres of land, all of it planted with an amazing variety of 50 different types of trees, there is also room for a couple of serene ponds, undulating hills, and more.

All of this creates a naturally inspired atmosphere that is ideal for hosting wedding celebrations of all sizes and scopes. Underneath a partially covered outdoor area, complete with beautiful pillars, you can have your romantic and elegantly crafted ceremony. Here, seated comfortably, everyone can record the moment on their phones to share on social media later on. For the reception, the happy couple can invite up to 200 guests to join in the party atmosphere at Curtis Hall.

Inside the hall, an ornate ceiling provides a splendid statement to announce the luxury and opulence of the venue. Having been transformed by renovations, the hall serves as a glamorous place for everyone to enjoy the wedding-day meal. Later on, as the night progresses, the newlyweds can take to the ballroom dance floor to enjoy the all-important couple’s dance.

A large tented patio completes the event spaces on offer, providing yet more room for everyone to savor a champagne toast or perhaps some flavorsome cocktails.

Services Offered

As well as the extravagant event spaces available, Curtis Arboretum also offers rooms for the couple and their wedding party to get ready for the big day. For the couple of honor arriving by their chosen mode of transport, parking is available - a convenience that the guests can also make use of. Cleanup, setup, event planning, and catering services are all available to add to the venue’s suitability for weddings. Event rentals, cake, and WiFi can also be offered.

History

Part of the Cyrus Curtis Estate, the Curtis Arboretum’s hall was originally built back in 1893. Although it has been renovated since to complement its original decor and design with modern touches, much of the originality is still present.

Amazing Experience with Curtis Arboretum!

My fiancé and I are getting married on June 1, 2024 at Curtis Arboretum and we couldn’t be more excited for our wedding day! Curtis Arboretum was the first venue we toured, and we were immediately taken with the lovely, lush grounds, gorgeous outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour areas, stunning clear top tent, and intricately detailed ballroom. With its elegant terraced gardens, stone patio, and ballroom, Curtis Arboretum feels European, a unique gem on the East Coast. We searched high and low for the perfect venue in the tri-state area, but ultimately couldn’t find anything that comes close to the peaceful and joyful beauty of Curtis Arboretum. Besides the wonderful aesthetics of the venue, we chose Curtis Arboretum because of the venue’s caterer, Jeffrey A Miller Catering. Each person we spoke and worked with thus far has been on top of their game – responsive, knowledgeable, and inspiring total confidence that our wedding day will go without a hitch. JAM provides the ultimate wedding day experience, taking care of everything we need from catering, linens, and planning, to providing great recommendations for other vendors. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to get married at Curtis Arboretum and are eagerly awaiting our wedding day!
