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.

Day of my dreams!

I don't even know where to begin with all of the AMAZING things I have to say about Conroy Catering and Knowlton Mansion. The staff from the very beginning made the entire booking process so smooth and easy. They were beyond responsive to all my emails and so easy to work with. Eileen made our coordination so organized and was beyond helpful! We couldn't have had the organized and smooth day without her. Then Chris as our day of coordinator was beyond amazing!! She placed everything exactly where I imagined and made Knowlton look breathtaking. My guests who walked in were all blown away with its beauty! Then the FOOD!! Amazing!!! My guests today are still talking about how delicious everything was. I never had wedding food this fantastic. Every worker and bartender at Conroy Catering is fantastic and dedicated to making your day perfect. I was truly blown away and at a loss of words for how amazing they made my wedding! I wish I could relive it all over again!!!

Amazing experience!!

We are so happy we chose the Knowlton Mansion as our wedding venue! The staff was amazing from start to finish. Cara and Eileen were very responsive and answered all of our questions promptly and gave great advice and recommendations. The venue is gorgeous and so unique, from the wine cellar service to the outdoor firepits and much more. The ceremony location under the pergola is perfect and barely needs additional decor. Everything was taken care of so well on the day of the wedding thanks to Chris. The team pays attention to every detail - for example, they knew I wanted all of the decor to have gold accents; the cake stand I brought wasn't large enough so they used their silver cake stand but decorated it with gold cloth to go with my theme. My bridal attendant, Dee, was so sweet and kept us on schedule and made sure my husband & I were fed throughout the night. The food choices were also unique and delicious. We received numerous compliments on the food and venue and atmosphere. We couldn't be happier with our experience! Thank you!!

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!
