Planning a wedding around Reading means choosing between historic downtown churches, an arts center in a former factory, a museum, a castle on Mount Penn, country clubs, and barns, farms and wineries across the rolling hills of Berks County. This guide covers 63 wedding venues in 26 towns, from downtown Reading and Wyomissing out to Kutztown, Hamburg, Boyertown, Birdsboro, Leesport and the Oley Valley. 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 hall, club or barn 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. Some farms and wineries sit well out in the countryside, 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 Reading area

A church wedding ceremony is a strong tradition around Reading. Downtown, Trinity Lutheran and Christ Episcopal stand a few blocks apart, and Catholic parishes across Reading, West Reading, Kutztown, Boyertown and Bally add their own history. Many Catholic parishes ask you to get in touch well ahead and complete marriage preparation, and some ask that the bride or groom be registered there first, so call early and ask.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

Reading's halls give a wedding reception a real sense of place. Couples choose the Reading Public Museum, GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, The Abraham Lincoln, the Reading Liederkranz and Stokesay Castle, and banquet halls across Berks County handle dinner and dancing for large guest lists.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country wedding, head out into the farmland of Berks County. Barns, farms, estates and wineries around Kutztown, Oley, Bernville, Birdsboro, Hamburg and Boyertown host ceremonies on their grounds and receptions in restored barns, often with everything on one property.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels, inns and clubs keep the day easy for guests coming from out of town. Downtown hotels, The Inn at Centre Park, Bear Creek Mountain Resort and inns in Bally and Kutztown handle the ceremony, reception and guest rooms in one place, and country clubs add golf-course views.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks and historic sites give your wedding photos room to breathe. Gring's Mill, the Berks County Heritage Center, the Reading Pagoda on Mount Penn, French Creek State Park and Hopewell Furnace offer water, woods and city views. 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 out through the hills 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.
