    A wonderful place to celebrate your special day!

    My wife and I recently held our cocktail hour and wedding reception at The Inn at Villanova and were blown away! First off, we had our wedding ceremony at St. Thomas of Villanova Church, and the convenience of having our reception at The Inn just 5 minutes down the road cannot be understated. Additionally, comparing with other main-line venues, the bang for your buck at The Inn is quite impressive. Our cocktail hour was held at the Montrose Mansion, which was absolutely gorgeous and a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor space for our guests to transition between and mingle while overlooking the beautiful terraced greenery and fountained pond. Our reception was held in the main ballroom, which, while...

    My Dream Villanova Wedding!!

    Where do I begin when I try to describe my amazing wedding reception at The Inn at Villanova University. Jamie Ritter, the Inn’s wedding coordinator, listened to all my ideas and gave wonderful advice. Her input and incredible knowledge made my reception pure perfection. She was always very quick to answer any questions I had when planning my event with her. She provided a vendor list which was very helpful since I do not live in the area.
    The reception food offerings tasting event was scheduled a few months before my wedding date and gave me valuable insight into what The Inn offers. It was so hard to decide because all the choices were excellent. Meeting the actual...

    The Wedding of Every Brides Dream

    I’m the world’s happiest bride! From the ballroom decorations to the prompt communication from all staff members, there is no better place to get married than the Inn at Villanova! All of our guest bragged about the food at they cocktail hour and the reception! The grounds are STUNNING for pictures! Even though they are very selective about outside food and vendors, the Inn provided me, my fiancé, our bridal party, and all of our guests everything we wanted! Everyone works really hard to make every bride’s dreams come true!

    It was just beautiful.

    It was a magical place to have our wedding reception. I like that guest could roam around. Many different locations to take pictures as we as well.

    Wedding reception 12/3/22

    Our wedding reception was an absolute dream. The IAVU was magical, and Kristin and her team could not have been more helpful. I wish we could do it all over again!!!

    We couldn’t of selected a better venue

    I cannot say enough about the I@V. The hotel, the food and the STAFF were all fantastic. Our guest repeatedly commented on all aspects of the venue. SO many people said “it was the best wedding I ever went to’. A significant portion of that was the venue! Thank you Robin and Ashley (and everyone else) for a wonderful - beyond expectations - wedding. You made it happen and made it a personal mission to have a great event.

    Ed & Peter - thank you for this fantastic review! Your wedding was a dream and we were so honored to be a part of it!

    Beautiful venue, amazing staff

    We live overseas so left the venue visits up to family in Philadelphia. When they visited IAVU, they told us to book it right away! We were overjoyed the first time we visited with how beautiful the grounds, mansion, ballroom and hotel looked and how incredible it was to work with Ashley and Robin for our wedding. Ashley and Robin were extremely communicative, professional and accommodating during the entire planning process and Robin was amazing on the day. Robin and the IAVU staff saw to all our and our guests’ needs, allowing us to just sit back, dance and enjoy! If you are looking for a beautiful full service venue without the stuffiness that can sometimes come with hotels and conference centers, this is the place for you!

    The Inn at Villanova University's reply:

    Davis - thank you for your kind words! We are so pleased to get to know you, Maura and your families! What a special day it was!

    Amazing experience

    The Inn At Villanova University is a one stop shop for a great wedding experience. You can't beat the beautiful historical Montrose Mansion connected to an updated and modern ballroom surrounded with windows to view the beautiful courtyard. Seriously- there is no shortage of photographic areas and places for guests to roam and be comfortable. We got so many compliments on our venue and everything was perfect from cocktail hour to the reception to our after party. The food was delicious and the chef worked with us individually to create specific snack foods for our after party. The best part was at the end of the night...we just walked down the hall to our room! Seriously the best decision we ever made. I hope to attend a wedding here as a guest in the future!! Amazing.

    Abby, it was such a pleasure working with you and Brian. Thank you so much for the review and we were thrilled to play a part in your special day!

    The best wedding venue, hands down!

    We had absolutely the most perfect day hosting our wedding at The Inn at Villanova! Ashley, Robin, and the team at the Inn did everything in their power to create the most amazing wedding for us. From our first meeting with Ashley we knew the Inn was the place for us. She is extraordinarily professional and organized and treated our wedding like it was just as important to her as it was to us. No detail was too small for the team at the Inn and every single thing was perfect on our big day. We had almost 100 people stay at the Inn for the weekend of our wedding and everyone loved the clean and comfortable accommodations at...

    Our Magical Wedding Day at the Inn at Villanova!

    Our wedding day at the Inn was beautiful! The venue was spectacular and truly picturesque. Jamie Ritter and her team of professionals' curation of our wedding celebration far exceeded even our very high expectations. We are Northerners (Manhattanites) with just months to plan our first wedding without a wedding planner, and the Inn handled every detail with such precision and perfection! From the planning stages and tasting, at which the chef explained each exquisitely delicious dish in great detail, to the stunning transformation of the ballroom, there was not a single detail overlooked. The Inn's orchestration of our cocktail reception at The Montrose Mansion, which was the perfect setting for our a cappella serenade, followed by our reception in...

    Best Day Ever!

    Our wedding at The Inn at Villanova University was simply breathtaking, beyond anything we had ever envisioned. The staff was always so kind and warm throughout the process. The team truly did ensure every detail was attended to with care and just as we wanted. We got married in October, and the venue's picturesque setting provided the perfect backdrop. The grounds are so beautiful, we did not need to stop at any additional; places for pictures.

    Throughout the planning process, the team at The Inn was incredibly accommodating, answering all our questions promptly and with patience. The space to get ready was accessed as early as we needed. It was accessible and there was a really awesome...

    Look No Further!

    We cannot recommend The Inn at Villanova highly enough. We wanted a low stress but upscale (while still being casual) event, and Kristin and her team made it such a joy to plan. Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the venue was.

    The Inn at Villanova is the Quintessential Venue

    Wire only gave me a small space to write my review. Not enough space to say what an extraordinarily wonderful venue for our wedding!! The Inn is BEAUTIFUL! We occupied every lovely space all day. This was perfect -so convenient + perfect for pics. Food was generous, marvelous + delicious. Each course/station was beautifully presented! The Filet is Phenomenal! STAFF is incredible, helpful + friendly. Kristin is the best, fulfilled every request with a smile + a YES. EVERY guest has called me to say what a fantastic wedding it was, and it was because the INN is the quintessential venue for a wedding.

    Fantastic wedding experience

    My wedding was hosted by Villanova, they were helpful with the information I need for the wedding.
    The outdoor view was good, and I love the classic indoor design. Strongly recommended to have a wedding or conference at Villanova.

    Perfect!

    Absolutely perfect experience. The venue was beautiful. The perfect indoor/outdoor space. And absolutely nothing beats having a hotel onsite. We had the most perfect day.

    A beautiful and easy wedding weekend at the IAVU

    The experience of working with the IAVU was amazing. The venue is a hidden gem and just beautiful. The team I worked with was amazing and executed our day to a tee. The team went above and beyond to truly make it perfect. I would recommend having a party here through and through!

    White Glove Level Service! A++

    My wife and I were looking at several venues in the Philadelphia area when we found The Inn at Villanova. We could not be happier with our event! Everything went off smoothly and was handled for us so we could just focus on enjoying the day. Kristin was fantastic in helping us coordinate all the details. They made sure every small detail we wanted was met. The food was amazing and the attached hotel allowed us to have our guests stay right at the same venue. Perfect location!

    The best venue ever!

    We had our wedding at the Inn at Villanova in July of 2022 and our guests can’t stop talking about how much fun it was and what a perfect venue the Inn was—we HIGHLY recommend the Inn as a venue.
    We REALLY have to thank the amazing Kristin, the chef and the whole staff were wonderful to work with and went above and beyond to make our day incredible.
    Our wedding was originally scheduled for 2020 but was rescheduled to 2022 due to Covid and the Inn was incredibly accommodating and gracious along the way it was a night we will always remember and the Inn will always be a fond memory for us!

    Perfect Venue

    The Inn at Villanova University blew away our expectations, and my husband and I cannot recommend this place enough! Robin, Kiara, and the whole Villanova staff went above and beyond. Two months before our wedding date, our original venue was flooded and we were stressed to find a new venue in time. Robin and Kiara were so nice, understanding, organized, and very accommodating. They made the whole process very easy. The venue is perfect during the fall season. A lot places at the Mansion to take beautiful pictures with the fall colors. Food was amazing, the chef did a great job. Plenty of floor spaces for a dance party, and all our guests had a blast. We were also...

    A one stop shop to make your wedding day the perfect experience.

    With guests coming in from out of town we wanted a venue that had the old main line feel and onsite accommodations that were close to St. Thomas of Villanova Church. The Inn checked all of these boxes. Ashley was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process! No idea caught her off guard - she found a way to make it work. We were able to host all of our events onsite from getting ready to brunch on Sunday.

    The food ended up exceeding our expectations. We left the tasting a little uneasy but take it from us, the day of the wedding they blew our expectations out of the water! The Inn's chef really stepped...

    Fall wedding venue of your dreams

    The Inn at Villanova is absolutely breathtaking. From the old Montrose Mansion to the newer, more modern banquet hall and rooms. The banquet hall has floor to ceiling windows which was a game-changer for me. The views are beautiful. There are trees everywhere. It looks like an English garden. The staff is ridiculously helpful too, especially Ashley Omlor. She was flexible and communicated quickly and clearly. There was never a request she denied. It was supposed to rain my wedding day but the scenery was so beautiful, we got great photos anyways. They definitely fulfilled everything I could want and more.

    We just celebrated our wedding at The Inn and The Montrose Mansion and it was absolutely perfect! Ashley and her team were wonderful to work with from start through finish; incredibly accommodating to our needs, responsive, flexible, and so kind. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and having the ability to host all events in the same place takes away so much stress in planning. We hosted the rehearsal dinner and a meet and greet Friday evening and then cocktail hour, reception and an after party the day of the wedding. It was great to be able to walk upstairs at the end of the night, there was plenty of room for our friends and family to stay and plenty...

    I just celebrated my wedding at the Inn at Villanova last month and would highly recommend it! The Inn is truly a full service facility. The ballroom has all of the modern conveniences with incredible floor-to-ceiling windows, a hotel for all of your out-of-town guests, and a historic mansion with tons of old world charm. The grounds are breathtaking and lush with greenery and the mansion has many hidden rooms and places for your guests to explore. The food was delicious and the bartenders and staff were friendly and on point. I worked with Ashley throughout the process and she was very detail oriented, thoughtful and really made me feel like a princess on the big day! Five stars.
