Wedding Venues Near Allentown, PA

Lehigh County · 40 min from Allentown

From Allentown to the estate is a 40-minute drive; PA-309 north.

Allentown is about 40 minutes from the estate by way of PA-309 north, a straight run out of Lehigh County into the Upper Perkiomen Valley in Pennsburg. That's close enough that your guests from around PPL Center or the America on Wheels Museum can make it out for the day without a hotel stay being the deciding factor, though a few properties near Quakertown and Limerick are there if some of your family wants to. With Allentown's population near 126,000, plenty of couples planning here are working from a long guest list, and the Welcome Center is built for that: 5,400 square feet under 20-foot ceilings and wrought-iron chandeliers, seating up to 220, with a full-length patio opening onto the gardens and on-site parking for about 100 cars. If your list runs smaller and you want something with more character, the Bank Barn is a restored mid-1800s post-and-beam barn seating about 150, with hand-hewn timber, string lights overhead, and its own lawn next door for the ceremony. Either way, guests from Bethlehem, Emmaus, and Macungie are making the same easy drive, so your Lehigh Valley crowd converges here from several directions rather than one. Catering is built in: every event runs through Robert Ryan Catering & Design or Tosco's Catering, so that decision is already made before your first tour.
