Morris Arboretum
Tucked away in the northwest corner of Philadelphia, Morris Arboretum offers couples a quiet escape from the city’s noise and pace. With 92 acres of curated gardens, towering trees, and timeless architecture, this venue feels less like a location and more like a living storybook, perfect for couples who want their wedding to feel personal, romantic, and rooted in nature. There’s no shortage of unforgettable backdrops here.
Magnolia Slope frames ceremonies with rolling hills and soft afternoon light. Two Lines, the garden’s highest point, offers sweeping views and sculptural accents for bold, wide-angle portraits. The Azalea Meadow is open and bright, ideal for large gatherings, while the Rose Garden delivers an intimate, tucked-away feel, especially beautiful in mid-summer.
For spring weddings, Pennock Walk’s walled garden adds a sense of quiet elegance. Cocktail hour feels magical on the forested “Out on a Limb” walkway or beside the historic carriage house at Widener Plaza. Receptions unfold in the tented area connected to the 100-year-old stone visitor center, blending old-world charm with modern convenience.
The McLean Room serves as a private bridal suite, offering a quiet place to gather, breathe, and reflect. From engagement sessions to wedding day coverage, Morris Arboretum provides light, texture, and story in every direction. For us photographers, it’s a dream. For couples, it’s unforgettable.
