Planning a wedding in the Lehigh Valley means choosing between Moravian churches and colonial landmarks in Bethlehem, grand downtown hotels and theaters in Allentown and Easton, a former steel mill turned arts campus, country clubs, and barns, farms and wineries across Lehigh and Northampton counties. This guide covers 98 wedding venues in 29 towns, from Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton out to Emmaus, Macungie, Nazareth, Hellertown, Coopersburg and the slate belt towns. You'll find churches, halls, hotels and clubs, barns and farms, and the parks and historic sites where couples go for their wedding photos and video.

Many couples here hold a church wedding ceremony in the afternoon and a reception at a hotel, club or hall that evening. Others want everything in one place, and plenty of the venues on this list can host your ceremony, your pictures and your reception on the same property. The three cities sit close together, but Route 22 traffic can be slow, so check drive times between your ceremony and your reception.

Use the filters to narrow the list by type of venue or by town. Each venue has its own page with a description, contact details and directions, and real wedding photos and videos from local photographers and videographers as they add their work.

Church wedding venues in the Lehigh Valley area

A church wedding ceremony is a strong tradition in the Lehigh Valley. In Bethlehem, Central Moravian Church and the Cathedral Church of the Nativity anchor the historic district, and Catholic parishes across Allentown, Easton, Nazareth and the smaller towns add their own history. Many Catholic parishes ask you to get in touch at least six months ahead and complete marriage preparation, and some ask that the bride or groom be a registered member, so call early and ask.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

The Lehigh Valley's halls give a wedding reception a real sense of place. Couples choose ArtsQuest at SteelStacks under the old blast furnaces, the National Museum of Industrial History, the Historic Bethlehem sites, restored downtown buildings in Allentown and Easton, and banquet halls that handle dinner and dancing for large guest lists.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country wedding, head out to the farmland and vineyards at the edges of the Valley. Barns, farms, estates and wineries around New Tripoli, Coopersburg, Hellertown, Nazareth and Mount Bethel host ceremonies on their grounds and receptions in restored barns, often with everything on one property.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels, resorts and clubs keep the day easy for guests coming from out of town. Historic Hotel Bethlehem, the Americus and the Renaissance in Allentown, Wind Creek and inns such as Glasbern and the Sayre Mansion handle the ceremony, reception and guest rooms in one place, and country clubs across the Valley add golf-course views.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks and historic sites give your wedding photos room to breathe. The Malcolm W. Gross Rose Garden, Lock Ridge Park, Trexler Park and the Lehigh Parkway in Allentown, and Bethlehem's colonial industrial quarter offer flowers, stone and water. Many need a permit for ceremonies or group photos, so check before you plan.

Next: find someone who has worked at your venue

Once you have a venue in mind, look for photographers and videographers who have already worked there. They'll know where the light falls in the church, how long the drive across the Valley really takes, and which spots on the grounds work best for wedding photos and video. Every venue page shows the local photographers and videographers with work from that place.
