A recent bride raves about her experience:

“We had our wedding at The South Mountain Inn this past June and we cannot recommend everything about this place enough. Matt and Kedri (hosts and owners), went above and beyond in every way imaginable for us and our guests over the weekend. The property is so beautifully maintained, and every room in the house is so comfortable and welcoming. They helped us set up and tear down our rehearsal dinner/wedding, and were the best mix of present but not overbearing during our special day. Between the two of them, there was a plan A and a plan B for everything, and I felt so reassured as the bride that our day was going to be magical no matter what. They delivered beyond my wildest dreams for us and our families to celebrate. Three months later and all of our guests are still saying, “this was the way to do a wedding”. Do yourself a favor and book an event or just a weekend stay, you will not regret it!” Anna S.

The Best Affordable Wedding Venues

Before meeting with any affordable wedding venues, take time to outline your wedding budget and list your top priorities. What elements are most important to you and your partner? Identifying your must-haves will help you make smart decisions and avoid unexpected costs.

1. Keeping your guest list intimate, ideally under 100, can significantly reduce expenses. Focus on inviting those closest to you. Focus on inviting those closest to you. Smaller weddings often feel more meaningful and are easier to manage within a budget that is reasonable. The South Mountain Inn can accommodate weddings with up to 100 guests.
2. If you’re searching for affordable wedding venues near Philadelphia, consider stepping outside the city. The South Mountain Inn offers a beautiful, cost-effective alternative to big city prices, with stunning mountain views and a cozy, historic setting.
3. Ask each venue what’s included in their wedding packages. At The South Mountain Inn, we include essentials like tables, chairs, linens, and a tent, saving you time and money by cutting down on rental costs.
4. Venues with natural beauty reduce the need for elaborate decorations. Our scenic mountain backdrop and charming grounds provide a gorgeous setting that lets you keep décor simple (and budget-friendly).
5. Booking early can help secure lower rates. Choosing a weekday or off-season wedding date can also lead to significant savings, without compromising your experience.
6. Always ask about extra charges, such as setup fees, cleaning fees, or service charges, so you can compare venues fairly and avoid any surprises.
