Rent an outdoor wedding venue in Philadelphia, PA

As beautiful as Philadelphia's historic indoor venues are, the green gardens and urban parks of the city offer a unique opportunity for an outdoor wedding ceremony. Whether you've always dreamed of a wedding at the botanical gardens or an intimate ceremony at a countryside estate, Philly's outdoor venues are some of the best in the nation.
When choosing an outdoor wedding venue, think about how many guests you want to bring and the activities of the day. Some outdoor venues have lawns that can host thousands of guests for the ceremony and reception. Others are smaller spaces best suited for micro weddings or elopements. The venue should also have a covered pavilion or tent on standby in case the weather changes.

Philadelphia is best known for its iconic architecture and big city atmosphere. But the outdoor event spaces here are well worth exploring! We recommend checking out urban parks and botanical gardens in the city limits. Dilworth Park is a popular wedding location. Just steps away from Philadelphia City Hall, the park includes a terrace and cabin for your special event. As well as a winter garden and ice rink when the season is right!
Philadelphia's riverfront offers numerous options for a wedding ceremony and reception, including hotels, restaurants, and parks with outdoor space. You can also have your ceremony at a rooftop venue like The Liberty View! Overlooking Independence Hall, the View has seating for hundreds of guests with unbeatable skyline views.
If you'd prefer a quieter atmosphere, take your wedding into the countryside. Philadelphia's mansions, vacation homes, and estates all sit on several acres of land. Giving you the opportunity to hold your ceremony outdoors, with indoor venue options like banquet halls, screening rooms, and ballrooms a short walk away!

Just because you've chosen to hold your wedding outdoors doesn't mean it has to be a rough affair. Elegant outdoor wedding venues come in several styles, including options for traditional, historic, and rustic weddings. One of our favorites is the Rodin Museum's Dorrance H. Hamilton Garden. The curated garden space, fountain, and open air atmosphere is the perfect compliment to a romantic wedding in downtown Philadelphia!
Philadelphia's riverfront is also home to several contemporary and historic boats. These vessels offer space for weddings and other elegant events not only inside their dining halls and ballrooms. But also on the deck of the ship, where you can say your vows as Philadelphia's riverfront wafts by!
