Portico Awbury Arboretum

Portico Awbury Arboretum is a Philadelphia wedding venue set within a 55-acre arboretum in the historic Germantown neighborhood, centered on the Victorian-era Francis Cope House. The venue accommodates up to 160 guests with outdoor dining in a white tent, use of the house and wrap-around porch, and multiple ceremony settings including a front lawn, English garden, and shaded clearings. Catering is provided by Peachtree Catering and Events, with scratch-made, seasonal, customizable menus sourced from local farms and dairies. The Francis Cope House grounds were laid out in the 19th century in the English landscape garden tradition by William Saunders, designer of the Capitol grounds in Washington, DC, and the land was purchased in 1852. Located at 1 Awbury Road, Philadelphia, PA 19138, in the Germantown neighborhood of Northwest Philadelphia. Couples highlight the secluded garden setting, the all-inclusive pricing structure (tent, lighting, tables, chairs, linens, dinnerware, glassware, staff, getting ready space, and a day-of coordinator), and consistently praise the Peachtree team by name for responsiveness, dietary-restriction accommodations, and smooth vendor coordination.
