The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs is a scenic wedding venue located just outside Philadelphia in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. This charming setting comprises 142 acres of meadows, green lawns, gentle springs, and stately buildings. The property maintains a sense of privacy to celebrate with loved ones while still being conveniently located close to major roads and hotels. With a rich history and beautiful grounds, this space offers a stunning setting for your ceremony and reception. You are also invited to host pre-wedding festivities here, from an engagement party to the rehearsal dinner.

Facilities and Capacity

The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs offers to-be-weds a selection of three outdoor ceremony sites. These are a garden fountain area, under a beech tree, or in the unforgettable ruins. This venue holds up to 150 guests for a day filled with joy. The couple can begin the celebration in the two on-site get-ready suites up to three hours before the ceremony. After the newlyweds have exchanged their vows, they can mingle with their loved ones at a cocktail hour in the fountain area and porch. From here, they can easily transition to a reception in the 2,000 square foot main room, which also features a dance floor.

    Amazing wedding at a beautiful venue

    We had our ~110 person wedding at the Washington in April 2023 and it was everything we imagined it would be. Even with unexpected weather, we were able to easily transition to a beautiful indoor wedding and still use the outdoor covered porch for cocktail hour. Caitlin and Ann were great to work with and guided us through the planning process step by step. I couldn't imagine a better venue for our wedding.

    You have to get married here!

    “How did you find this place!!!” Was the most asked question by our guests during/after our wedding at The Washington. Our friends and family were blown away by the beauty and uniqueness The Washington had to offer from the moment they arrived.

    What my husband and I loved most and ultimately was the deciding factor for us to choose this venue was the flow and layout is just so practical. We got married at the tree so guests started at the top of the hill, worked their way down to the fountain for cocktail hour, then into the reception space. Each beautiful area of The Washington had its own moment to shine and there was a clear flow to where we started the night and where it ended.

    Cait and Beatrice were so amazing to work with and made the process so easy. We would choose The Washington a million times over!

    Hidden Gem

    The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs is such a hidden gem! This was the first venue we looked at, and booked shortly after. Cait was personable and quick to respond to any email or text. The venue itself is tucked away from any traffic/noise and the layout itself flows perfectly. Having a venue that has a gorgeous backup ceremony space is a huge plus as well. Not many of our guests have even heard of the Washington before, but they were all impressed with its beauty and history. We couldn't have picked a better venue. Thank you so much to Cait, Beatrice, and the rest of the HYS team. Our wedding was a dream come true!
