About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Terrain at Styer's is located on the historic site of J. Franklin Styer's nursery, a Philadelphia landmark for over 100 years. Our restored barn provides a gorgeous backdrop for any wedding celebration, while our talented culinary team considers each client’s personal style to shape a one-of-a-kind menu.

An outdoor space with an ornate wedding temple is the centerpiece for many ceremonies, but indoor space is also available in case of rain. Our historic Garden Shed serves as the rustic setting for a reception while our Mushroom House serves as the private suite. Paired with our blooming nursery, these spaces create a gorgeous backdrop for your celebration of up to 110 people.

Deeply rooted in nature and plant life, terrain is inspired by the idea of merging house and garden to create an experience for all of the senses, to shape a life lived outside and in. Our gatherings reflect the cycle of the seasons and the bounty of the land, capturing the beauty of all things grown. At each of our locations, a picturesque, horticultural setting is paired with menus inspired by local growers and the seasonal harvest.

DESIGN BY TERRAIN

Design by terrain provides floral installations and botanical expertise with a creative perspective, personally tailored to your event. From bouquets and boutonnieres to living centerpieces, our designers offer customized floral and event styling for weddings and gatherings of all kinds.

CUISINE & HOSPITALITY

Our in-house culinary staff uses hand-selected ingredients of the highest quality to create celebratory menus inspired by farmers we know and trust.

From plated meals for formal occasions to family-style dining, our dishes showcase the season’s finest flavors. Our warm, professional event staff brings an effortless approach to hospitality, while beautifully styled table settings provide the finishing touch for a meal shared with family and friends.

The Perfect Venue!

My husband and I had the time of our lives at Terrain! This outdoor venue with its natural beauty and elegance was so perfect for our wedding. The staff was incredible, professional, and so helpful throughout the day. The food was out of this world - every single one of my guests was RAVING about their meal! We also used Terrain for our florals and they were so easy to work with and did an outstanding job! We are so happy we chose to have our wedding here. It was beyond beautiful!! I highly recommend Terrain for any occasion!

Dream Venue

I just had my wedding at Terrain at Styers (May 2024) and it could not have been more perfect. From start to finish the team was organized, responsive, and pleasant to work with. They run a tight ship and make the planning process a breeze. I can't imagine having worked with any other venue because they handle so much. I had an outside day of coordinator to help but depending on the complexity of your plans, you don't necessarily need one (though I do recommend it). The decor is nice enough that you don't have to add much. Allison planned the majority of my wedding and was amazing. Maura planned the final weeks and worked the day of. I am so grateful to have had Maura as Allison's replacement. Her calm energy was exactly what I needed when inevitable problems arose (not Terrain related), and she was on top of it all! The weather was awful for my day and we had to do an indoor ceremony, but I'm actually glad it ended up that way because the decor and lighting was beautiful. Before ever visiting I knew this was the perfect venue, and my experience lived up to the hype. Talented chefs, tasteful decor, extremely photogenic landscape, ample parking, ample hotel options (all were great), best of all, an organized and fun to work with staff. Every guest who spoke to me said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. I have to agree because it was a dream come true.

Effortlessly fun and beautiful night

Early on in wedding planning and venue shopping, I came across Terrain on WeddingWire and was immediately hooked. My original plan of renting a pavilion in a state park and booking food truck was out the window; I quickly learned the cost of rentals and food. Terrain is a beautiful all-in-one venue. The site itself is gorgeous, and the stationary decor and lighting the the garden shed is beautiful on it's own. The food was raved about all night, and even as I'm typing this I am getting texts from my guests about how they loved the family style of eating and that between cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert, they never felt hungry the entire night. Terrain provided the dinnerware, the silverware, all kinds of glassware, table runners, dinner tables and chairs, and the outdoor seating for the ceremony. Carla, our outstanding terrain consultant, had been in contact with us over the six months leading up to the big day. The monthly meetings, questionnaires, and contact lists were a godsend in planning. The best part was watching it all come together. While Carla worked with the vendors and behind-the-scenes work day-of, our attendant Leah was calm, cool, and collected. She worked with the bridesmaids and myself in coordinating photos, the first look, even helping me to the bathroom prior to our cocktail hour entrance. She never rushed us, always made our decisions feel heard and felt like one of the group by the end of the night. Cheers to the both of them, and the entire terrain staff, for making the day feel so effortless. all our of love, the new Mr and Mrs Thompson!
