About

On WeddingWire since 2015

The Knowlton Mansion is a mansion wedding venue located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which also serves the Lehigh Valley area. From the moment couples and guests arrive at this sprawling mansion, they will be in awe of the stunning architecture and landscaping. The estate, which was originally constructed back in the 19th-century, was restored by Conroy Catering. When they restored this country estate in 1999, they did add contemporary elements yet carefully retained many of the classic Victorian touches so that its past could still be celebrated.

Facilities and Capacity
The Knowlton Mansion is an ideal spot to host a bridal shower, engagement party, ceremony, and reception. Couples have both indoor as well as uncovered outdoor site options to choose from. The thirteen acres of gardens are always meticulously planned and maintained and provide a cozy and romantic setting in which to exchange your vows. Tall, lush trees frame the exterior, and secluded garden sites are found all throughout the property providing couples with plenty of privacy. If you like, you can also host your wedding inside of the mansion. There is an expansive ballroom and conservatory for couples to enjoy with their guests. Due to the spacious interior, couples are able to invite up to 250 of their friends and family to come join them on their big day. The property also has a bridal suite for brides and bridesmaids to get ready in.

Services Offered
Every couple who books their wedding at the Knowlton Mansion will get to enjoy setup and clean up services so that their planning process is as stress-free as possible. The venue also provides necessities such as tables, chairs, china, flatware, glassware, and linens. A dance floor as well as areas for DJs and live bands can be requested too. For the convenience of the entire wedding party, there is an onsite parking lot. There is also wheelchair access for members of the wedding party who may have special needs.

A dream come true!

From the moment my now husband and I walked into the Knowlton Mansion, we knew this was the place we wanted to have our reception. The mansion is the most unique venue I have seen, and the addition of the ballroom is beautiful but still carries over the charm of the original home. Eileen was our point of contact leading up to the wedding and she was a delight to work with. She was very helpful and responsive with all my questions, and she made me feel at ease with the timeline. On the day of the wedding the staff was amazing! My husband and I had a few waiters that were focused on us all night. They made sure we had a drink and tasted every hors d'oeuvre. Overall, I can’t recommend Knowlton enough. The place was beautiful, and the staff was top-notch.

July 2024 Wedding

Knowlton Mansion is a beautiful and charming venue! My husband and I got married at Knowlton Mansion on July 5, 2024. The Conroy Catering team were great to work with. In the months leading up to our wedding, we were able to reach out to our coordinator, Eileen, at any time to answer all our questions. We were able to visit whenever we needed for planning purposes. Eileen was amazing to work with! In the week leading up to our wedding, we worked with our day-of coordinator, Dani, and she was absolutely wonderful! She had a calming presence that was able to meet all our needs and answer all our last minute questions. She was so helpful and attentive throughout the whole evening. Additionally, all the ladies got ready at the venue the morning of the wedding. All the staff were very accommodating while we did hair and makeup. All of our vendors were welcomed and everything ran so smoothly. Lastly and most importantly, our families and guests loved the venue! They loved the outdoor ceremony space, exploring the mansion, and hanging out in the sunroom of the reception area for cocktail hour. Our wedding date was extremely hot outside, and we cannot thank the staff enough for being so accommodating to our guests while they waited for the ceremony to start. They made sure they had water and could wait inside if they needed. The food was also amazing and our guests had so many compliments on our station-styled menu. The Conroy Catering team went above and beyond on our day to make sure that everything ran smoothly, that guests were taken care of, and that we were having the best day!

I had the pleasure of once again officiating at a wedding at Knowlton Mansion last night. I was so impressed. The place looked so beautiful, inside and out and the cocktail hour food that I tasted was fabulous and abundant. The staff was all professional and approachable. I love recommending Knowlton Mansion to brides when they ask. I look forward to marrying my next couple there!
