Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Bryn Awel Manor, Landenberg

Thirty-eight secluded acres of southern Chester County surround a wedding at Bryn Awel Manor in Landenberg. A stone manor house, an old stone bank barn, a spring house and a pond with a fountain, set among mature trees and pastoral hills, give your photographer and videographer plenty of places for wedding photos and film without leaving the property.

You can hold the whole day here. Your wedding ceremony can be outside at one of several spots on the property, with a large trellis for an outdoor ceremony. You get ready in the bridal suite and sitting room inside the barn, while the groom's party uses the historic study, a guest room and a bath in the manor house. Rental runs over three days, with set-up and a ceremony rehearsal the day before and take-down the day after.

The wedding reception is in the two-story bank barn, which holds up to 135 guests and has air conditioning and heat. The main level has vaulted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, exposed stone, a full bar, a stage and a baby grand piano that can be played during dinner. Downstairs, panoramic windows, original stone columns, a second bar and doors to the patios make an easy cocktail hour. That stage gives your videographer a clear spot for the toasts and the band. You choose your own vendors, with BYOB options, and a parking attendant helps guests arrive.

• Book early: the family hosts only a select number of weddings each year, and 2027 is nearly full.
• Walk the ceremony spots and the pond with your photographer and videographer.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines and the indoor plan for your wedding day.

A little about Bryn Awel Manor
