Bartram’s Garden

This magnificent ceremony and reception site is located minutes from Center City and is the country's oldest botanical park. Bartram's Garden, spanning 45 acres, provides a sweeping expanse for couples looking for a timeless ceremony and reception that blends the natural majesty of nature with the edgy backdrop of the metropolitan skyline.

A ceremony in this outdoor garden will have you marrying under a large Ginkgo tree, a Franklinia tree, and a 200-year-old Yellowwood tree, as well as adjacent to carefully kept stone structures that take you back to the 1700s. After you say "I do," go along garden paths to snap one-of-a-kind images alongside the Schuylkill River, in the middle of nature, or in a manicured garden.

When it's time for the reception, head to the Eastwick Pavilion, which has a covered porch, a Love Park granite patio, and spectacular views of downtown Philadelphia. Throughout the wedding day, you can be confident that everything will be handled by Jamie Hollander Catering & Events' skilled team of wedding planners and full-service caterers.
