Venue Information

Located just across the bridge from Philadelphia in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, The Merion is a European-inspired wedding venue known for its lavish interiors, architectural drama, and seamless event execution. With four distinct ballrooms, custom in-house catering, and attentive service, The Merion is ideal for couples seeking a refined, all-inclusive setting that blends formality with flair. A long-standing South Jersey favorite, the venue is praised for its opulent design, spacious layout, and ability to host high-capacity weddings without sacrificing intimacy or style. Each of the four ballrooms includes a private cocktail room, restrooms, and a bridal suite, offering flexibility for events of all sizes-up to 500 guests in the largest space.
