About

On WeddingWire since 2008

The Duportail House is a historic farmhouse that doubles as a wedding venue for couples in and around Wayne, Pennsylvania, and beyond. This property, which sits on the outskirts of Valley Forge National Historical Park, features three landscaped acres for couples dreaming of a naturalistic celebration. Moments away from the Schuylkill River and at the footsteps of a stunning national park, this building provides the ideal backdrop for private festivities. Here, couples and their guests are welcome to rejoice in unison as two families come together and become one.

Facilities and Capacity

Couples can invite up to 160 guests to their wedding event or celebration at the Duportail House. They will find access to the first two floors of the farmhouse as well as the surrounding grounds. The first floor of the house features grand antique rooms for couples to transform and decorate into the dream setting they’ve always envisioned. They can enjoy the 18th-century ambiance of thick stone walls, wooden floors, original moldings and fireplaces, and an inviting front porch. There is also a tented patio that couples can make use of in the warmer months and heat in the cooler months. On the second floor of the house, the wedding suite and bath offers a private space for couples to get ready and relax before the big moment arrives. There is also a beautiful outdoor barn for couples to use for hosting a ceremony or a cocktail hour if they desire. The Federal Barn is a weathered wood and stone structure that adds charm and history to a couple’s special day.

Services Offered

This farmhouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, welcomes couples for their ceremony and an array of other milestone events. The venue offers a wedding planner to help couples with all the aspects of their wedding day. This allows the couple to focus on more pressing matters and fully enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience. They are welcome to work with outside vendors and even pets are allowed to partake in their special day or event. There is also WiFi, a shuttle, valet, and onsite parking for the convenience of couples and guests alike. Event items included are chairs, tables, and a dance floor.

don't look any further.

This property is absolutely stunning and has so many options for where to hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, etc. You can't go wrong. Everywhere you look is a gorgeous location. We had our ceremony behind the barn, cocktail hour in the barn, and our reception in the house with dining under a tent behind it. Everyone loved the venue. The historic aspect matched with the sheer beauty of the property was just perfect. AND: KATE IS A ROCK STAR. She will bend over backwards to help and assist you in any way to make sure everything goes smoothly for your big day. She was an absolute joy to work with. I cannot recommend this property enough!!!!

Perfect venue for our wedding!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Duportail House on 10/22/2021 and we absolutely loved it. I fell in love with the home’s historic charm from the moment I laid eyes on it, and it was such a unique and elegant venue for our day. We had about 120 guests, and so many complimented the house and how perfectly it was suited for our event. Fortunately for us, we had a picture perfect Fall day for our wedding, and the colorful foliage and sunshine only enhanced an already beautiful site. We held our cocktail hour inside the house and out on the lawn, we used the patio as our dance floor, and we had a tented dinner on the lawn. Space heaters kept everyone comfortable and everything was truly seamless. Kate was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process, and she went above and beyond to ensure that our day went off without a hitch. I highly, highly recommend booking the Duportail House for your wedding day!
