Updated Oct 14, 202410 Affordable Wedding Venues in Pennsylvania That Are Sure to Impress Couples and Their Guests
From farms and mansions to lush gardens, these affordable venues offer something special for every couple.
Pennsylvania stands out for its rich revolutionary history. But beyond that, it boasts a handful of stunning landscapes—including but not limited to forests, valleys, rolling hills and farmland—all of which serve as perfect backdrops for nuptials. Fortunately, to-be-weds can choose from an abundance of affordable wedding venues in PA, each of which offers its own unique flair and distinct charm.
Before reading on, though, it's important to clarify how we defined what is considered "affordable" for the purpose of this article. The Knot Real Weddings Study found that the 2023 average venue cost was $12,800. We classified anything under this price as affordable. Most of our top picks have also earned coveted Best of Weddings awards, which spotlight top vendors across the country. Similarly, a majority of these affordable wedding venues in Pennsylvania have both indoor and outdoor spaces—or, at the very least, have indoor spaces as back-ups—which, given the state's four-season climate, comes in especially handy in the event of rain, snow, wind and other inclement weather.
