About this venue

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Curtis Hall is surrounded by a 45-acre arboretum created by Frederick Law Olmsted, landscape architect for New York City’s Central Park. The “hall” is the original music ballroom of the 1893 Cyrus Curtis estate, "Lyndon". The capacity for dining and dancing is 200. Beyond the handsome wrought-iron entrance gates is a vintage setting of rolling hills, two ponds, an original pergola and 50 varieties of trees. Located in Wyncote, Cheltenham Township, Curtis Hall is just five miles from Center City Philadelphia.

Curtis Arboretum

Renaissance Revival Estate

A naturally inspired atmosphere that is ideal for hosting wedding celebrations of all sizes and scopes. Underneath a partially covered outdoor area, complete with beautiful pillars, you can have your romantic and elegantly crafted ceremony. Here, seated comfortably, everyone can record the moment on their phones to share on social media later on. For the reception, the happy couple can invite up to 200 guests to join in the party atmosphere at Curtis Hall. Inside the hall, an ornate ceiling provides a splendid statement to announce the luxury and opulence of the venue. Having been transformed by renovations, the hall serves as a glamorous place for everyone to enjoy the wedding-day meal. Later on, as the night progresses, the newlyweds can take to the ballroom dance floor to enjoy the all-important couple’s dance. A large tented patio completes the event spaces on offer, providing yet more room for everyone to savor a champagne toast or perhaps some flavorsome cocktails.

A Picturesque Garden Venue!!

Curtis Arboretum is everything we were looking for in our wedding venue!! I was amazed and in awe the first time we saw it in person, & continued to be every time we went back. From the ceremony space under the picturesque pergola, to the detail in the music hall ceiling, this venue is one of our dreams. I immediately loved how our day would flow perfectly, moving from the lawn ceremony area to cocktail hour in the garden, to dinner & dancing in the connected tent & hall. Not to mention the getting ready suites, and the entrance under the stage!!! Curtis has the whimsical garden feel we wanted, with classical, intricate, beautiful architecture that makes the whole area feel like a palace. This space truly is so unique & special for a wedding that we couldn’t find anywhere else!
Beautiful venue

We are having a wonderful experience planning our wedding at the Curtis Arboretum. The staff is timely, enthusiastic, and attentive in all of our communications leading up to the big day. Our planner has been so flexible around our busy schedules and is very hands-on in tailoring the final details to make our day perfect. The Curtis is the ideal venue to celebrate the start of our marriage surrounded by natural beauty, pristine gardens, and historic architecture. We're so grateful for their partnership. Can’t wait for August!
The perfect venue for a summer wedding

Cannot express how amazing of a venue the Curtis Arboretum is! I never thought I would be able to find a venue that has both a whimsical garden feel and an old money vibe. It's truly breathtaking. Plus when you book the Curtis Arboretum you are booking JAM Catering, which makes planning so much easier. JAM takes care of all of the food, including the cake, alcohol, linens, and so much more. Their staff is so helpful and has been nothing short of a pleasure to work with! 10/10 recommend
Easy and Gorgeous!

Not only did the staff make the planning process a breeze (shout-out Michele!), but you could not ask for a more scenic backdrop for your wedding. This venue is making my garden wedding dreams come true
