Welcome to the unexpected, cool, crazy and wonderful wedding places for people who like to color outside the lines ;)
From a legendary Rock n' Roll Music Hall to a Helicopter Museum...let's take a ride on the Wild Side!
If you love Rock and Roll, this is where the music happens. In fact the Tower has been making noteworthy history since 1972. Bruce - Bowie - they've all played here. Some have even recorded albums here because of the theater's awesome acoustics.
Tower Stage Legends include...
Bruce Sringsteen and the E Street Band -- Genesis with Peter Gabriel -- Jackson Browne -- Lou Reed -- Jerry Garcia/Merle Saunders Band -- David Bowie -- Paul Simon -- Phil Collins -- Kelly Clarkson -- Mary Jayne Blige and hundreds more.
With a 'towering' musical legacy like that, you have to believe that the food also rocks...and it does!
Food and beverage service is provided by Wolfgang Puck Catering Entertainment, with Production and Event Management by Live Nation, the largest live entertainment company in the world.
The in-house event team assists with all the planning, including booking local bands, DJs or headline artists. They can also provide commemorative co-branded merchandise, customized gobo lights, interactive entertainment and creative decor options.
This is a sure fire bring down the house... house! ... smash the guitar!.. OMG! memory for you and your guests.

Hedgerow Theatre is where lovers of history can stage the perfect period wedding.
All weddings are beautiful in this gorgeously renovated Grist Mill...but with its dramatic 19th century architecture and lush outdoor garden -- it is absolutely scene-stealing for historical romances.
Bring your love story to life:
- Whisk your guests into the pages of a Shakespearean play with a celebration reminiscent of a Midsummer Night's Dream, a comedy that portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta.
- Romance your guests with a Jane Austen inspired celebration worthy of Darcy and Elizabeth...
- Or recreate the 18th Century Outlander love story of Claire and Jamie...
No matter what period in history moves you, no place can breath as much beauty and life into it, as Hedgerow's masters of the stage. And you couldn't choose a more made-for-magic setting for wedding pictures!
Whether you're planning a Medieval, Renaissance,Victorian, Colonial, or even a contemporary 'Goth ' wedding -- this is the place for weddings that reflect your love of history and romance.
AMERICA’S FIRST REPERTORY THEATRE
Hedgerow has its roots in the artisan/craftsman movement at the turn of the last century, when Will Price founded this movement dedicated to individual expression in contrast to the impersonal industrialization of society.
Beginning in 1923, Hedgerow launched the first resident repertory theatre and became a magnet for national theater personalities, from Richard Basehart to Edward Albee, Ann Harding, Susan Glaspell, and most recently—Keanu Reeves and Austin Pendleton.

Make your wedding a Masterpiece!
The Brandywine River Museum offers a unique combination of world famous art and a location famous for it's history, battlefields, vineyards and gardens.
The Museum sits on a hill overlooking the Brandywine River... while inside, your guests are surrounded by the art of 3 generations of Wyeth's.
With giant windows overlooking the countryside, every season creates a different look for your reception.
The Museum is available for weddings, for any four-hour block from 6 p.m. until midnight, for $2,500. During your event, six galleries will be open for you and your guests to enjoy for two consecutive hours
. Up to 120 guests can be accommodated for a seated dinner and up to 600 with a cocktail-only reception.
America's First Family of Art...
While the works of many American artists are featured here, the galleries are dedicated to N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth - father, son and grandson - all artists, and all with unique styles. Their work, along with other Wyeth family members are displayed in a dramatically renovated nineteenth-century mill. The circular rotunda pictured above, literally adds 'living color' to your reception.
Wed Where a Legendary Love Story Played Out on Canvas
Kuerner Farm, now part of the Museum's holdings, was where a legendary and possibly scanndalous relationship begain between Andrew Wyeth and his blond German model, Helga Testorf. Among the artist's most famous works are the The Helga Pictures -- a series of more than 240 drawings and paintings created between 1971 and 1985 -- and kept secret from both spouses.
When the paintings became public, there was a front-page frenzy of speculation about the exact nature of their relationship -- spiritual? physical? both?
Andrew further fanned the flames with this explanation of the series:
"The difference between me and a lot of painters is that I have to have a personal contact with my models. ... I have to become enamored. Smitten. That's what happened when I saw Helga." He described his attraction to "all her German qualities, her strong, determined stride, that Loden coat, the braided blond hair."
Invite your guests to walk in the romance of a famous American artist - plan a tour of Kuerner Farm!
