About Portico at Awbury Arboretum

Portico at Awbury Arboretum calls itself a secret garden within the city, and a wedding at Portico at Awbury Arboretum feels that way: a Victorian stone house, winding paths and botanicals in the historic Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. The venue says there are many spots on the grounds for wedding photos and ceremonies, each with its own mood, so your photographer and videographer can move from forest to lawn to garden in one afternoon.

Botanical gardens, specimen trees, meadows, wetlands and even a Secret Garden fill the grounds, and the venue lists an enchanted forest, a green lawn, shaded clearings and an English garden among its gathering spots. The Francis Cope House is the center of the day. It has a wrap-around porch looking over the landscape, rooms with tall ceilings and windows that open from bottom to top, and a spacious wedding suite on the second floor overlooking the grounds for getting ready.

Up to 160 guests can attend, with dinner under a white peaked tent. Peachtree Weddings is the exclusive caterer and planner, handling food made from scratch with local ingredients, the bar, rentals, staffing, floor plans, timelines and day-of coordination for your wedding reception. For your wedding videographer, outdoor vows among trees bring birdsong and breeze, so plan microphones, and use the porch for toasts in soft evening light. A share of every event helps care for the arboretum.

  • Contact the Portico team to check the calendar for your wedding day.
  • Walk the grounds with your photographer to choose your ceremony spot.
  • Ask about photo and video guidelines and the vendor list.

A little about Portico at Awbury Arboretum

The land was bought in 1852 as the summer home of an extended Quaker family, and in 1916 it became a nonprofit arboretum for the quiet enjoyment of nature. The stone house at its center is built of Wissahickon schist from a local quarry.
