This building is beautiful and my guests loved it. Working with the folks to book here was easy and they were helpful when I emailed with questions.
Perfect cozy venue for our wedding! The staff at the Community House was wonderful to work with from the start. They responded quickly and shared their expertise to help make our ...
day the best! All of our guests raved about the venue and loved our intimate ceremony in the library! Highly suggest checking out this beautiful location for any event!
We recently had our son's Bar Mitzvah at the Community House this past May. The venue was amazing! We utilized all the rooms. The building has such wonderful charm and we are al...
ready thinking about what event we can have there next. Joan was amazing and beyond knowledgeable. She helped from beginning to end and left no stone unturned. Our caterer was Foodwerx. If anyone would like to use them ask for Alyssa. I would definitely recommend The Moorestown Community House for your next event!
Choosing to have our wedding at the Community House of Moorestown was the quickest and easiest part of the planning process. From the day we toured we fell in love with its charm a...
nd our guests felt similarly. The venue was the perfect backdrop for our photos and as we’ve begun to get photos back we’ve noticed how not only the subjects of the photos shine but the venue does as well. We had numerous locations to take photos and each location within the space has its own beauty. We loved that we had the venue to ourselves all day (we got in at 8:00 am!!) and had ample room to get ready in the morning, no small feat considering I had 11 women including myself getting ready and a team of 4 artists for hair/makeup. Splitting cocktail hour between the library and the club room once more afforded more space for a more comfortable experience for our guests. The ballroom was perfect for our reception of approximately 150 guests. Joan was a delight to work with and was responsive and knowledgeable. The administration staff was equally friendly and helpful even going as far as helping us film a TikTok the morning of our wedding. Furthermore, the preferred vendors the Community House aligns themselves with are truly a league of their own. We had the most perfect wedding day and it all began with our choice to book the Community House.
We had a fabulous fall wedding here on the lawn, followed by reception indoors. Booking and communication was easy, we were able to get a tour, send payment, and ask questions very...
easily thanks to the dedicated staff on site. They are also well equipped with floor plans, recommended vendors, and dimensions of the spaces so you can share it with other vendors. I greatly appreciated the size of the bridal suite - perfect for a group and getting hair and makeup done on site. If you love history and a quaint NJ town to share with your guests, I highly recommend the Community House!
My husband fell in love with Community House upon seeing it, so we knew this was the place we would have our reception. Joan was very communicative and professional throughout the ...
process. The bridal suite was perfect for hair and makeup and the getting ready process before the reception. The architecture is breathtaking. We had 121 guests and did not need the Library.
My husband and I got married in September 2024 and used the Community House of Moorestown to get ready before our ceremony and also for our reception. We mainly worked with Joan an...
d Jennifer from the Community House and they were both so lovely. All of the staff members we interacted with were so pleasant and helpful! Joan gave us a tour when we were first looking at venues and then was available to answer any and all questions we had during the entire process (and believe me, we had a lot of questions!). They gave us excellent recommendations for vendors and were very accommodating and welcoming. The venue was lovely on the day of our wedding and the space was very clean and well maintained. The upstairs rooms were perfect for getting ready in and we had plenty of room for my wedding party (7 bridesmaids and 2 moms plus 4 hair/makeup artists!) The lighting in all of the rooms is enchanting and the outside patio space is so beautiful. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Thank you to the staff at the Community House for making our experience so seamless and pleasant! We could not have done it without your help! You guys are the best! :)
I HIGHLY recommend using the Community House of Moorestown for your special day. My wedding was a dream, and the venue was a huge part of making that dream come true! This venue is...
incredibly beautiful, super affordable, and has a variety of rooms that can all be incorporated throughout the event in a special way. 100% recommend!

here at Enchanted Celebrations, we absolutely love working here! The grounds provide unique picture opportunities and the photos always turn out idyllic at the Moorestown Community House! If you are looking for a venue that is not your average venue that makes a statement, then this is the venue for you!
We absolutely LOVED the Community House of Moorestown for our October 2023 wedding. We had a Friday evening wedding and rented out the additional library space for our indoor cerem...
ony--this was a non-hesitation for us (and luckily it was available). You get the entire venue (library is extra) from start to finish which was WONDERFUL. All of our guests loved the venue. There are so many beautiful spaces for photos, we took advantage of all of them--our photographer thanked us for giving him the chance to take photos here! We also worked with Chef Rob from Bacio's and we highly recommend the MCH + Bacio combination. Also, during our first look on the front terrace/steps, patrons at the Pie Lady Cafe across the street were very respectful and started cheering for us once the reveal happened--it was really sweet. We then went there for breakfast the next morning with some of our bridal party and they were so happy that we came for breakfast that they generously gave us free scones. Happy wedding planning!
Beautiful, unique, breathtaking. We loved the unique and classical vibe at The Community House of Moorestown, for our wedding! After visiting several other "typical" venues, we met...
with Joan and toured MCH and fell in love. Inside, outside, the front and back patios, the library, the ballroom.. it's perfection. We captured photos in just about every area of the venue, and we are so happy that we did! We loved that there was space for both bridal parties to get ready on site, without extra fees, which really helped keep the day flowing! Our guests LOVED it!
We are eternally grateful to Joan and the entire team at the Community House for helping make our dream day come to life. We were looking for an out-of-the-box, unique venue for ou...
r vintage-inspired wedding and the Community House was the one and only venue we toured. The library sold us! Guests and vendors WILL NOT stop raving about how perfect our wedding was and how much they loved our historical venue. The most gorgeous backdrop for all your special moments - we utilized each room and nook of the venue offering our guests so many unique and fun experiences. We had our service at the Episcopal church on the Main Street which allowed our guests to easily walk over to cocktail hour. We worked with Due Amici catering - referred by the Community House - and were blown away by their food, service, and execution of our day. The biggest bonus was the bridal suite and groom’s room which allowed us to spend ALL day at the venue - getting ready, first look, formal photos, etc. Most venues (especially mansions) do not offer you the venue all day - such a treat! The location is truly perfect for out-of-town guests traveling from Philly or NYC too. Thanks again for making our wedding day so special!

for and so much more! The staff was very accommodating from the moment we booked, all the way through to the wedding! Joan was able to provide recommended vendors, which landed us with using Due Amici catering, and they too were fantastic! The Community House provides multiple beautiful backdrops and provides a touch of English elegance! This is a one of a kind venue and a manor that you have to yourself for your wedding and guests! So happy with everything! Highly recommend!
The location is beautiful!!

She was so helpful and wonderful through the whole process. Highly recommend it and I would love to visit again and attend their charitable events.
Moorestown Community House was at the top of my husband and my list of wedding venues to view. It's so perfect for pictures and that certain vibe we were going for. We got married ...
at the height of covid, so that could be why not everything felt like smooth sailing. I rolled with the punches and everything came together beautifully and I wouldn't trade the day for anything. The building is very spacious and has all of the accommodations you could need. The reason why I give this venue 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the communication leading up to my wedding. Since this was covid changes were made last minute - which obviously is super stressful for a bride. I felt like the building's coordinator and my head caterer were telling me two different things. Also, a few days before my wedding I was told there would be a canopy tent that had been put up from another wedding last minute and had been pleaded not to have it taken down. Did my pictures still come out great, yes.. but it definitely changed the overall look out front of the venue which I had always envisioned. Otherwise, everything came together great. Whomever your head caterer is/wedding planner is will make sure your special day runs as smoothly as possible - since really noone from the building is required to be there the day of.

The community house was the PERFECT venue!!! It was so beautiful and since we had the entire building we had so many options for how we wanted everything to look. In addition to ...
such a gorgeous venue the bridal suite was a huge addition to helping our day run smoothly. It is perfect and we had the whole day to get ready and relax. Couldn’t have picked a better location for a great day!!

d and detail inside is spectacular. From getting ready in the bridal suite, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were stress free. Plenty of parking. Only one wedding for the day is held at Moorestown Community House which was a HUGE plus for us. There are so many rooms to explore and your guests will have plenty of space to move around freely. Summit Catering did a fantastic job through our entire process leading up to the big day! Dori and Tori were amazing! :) We wish we could relive the night 100/100 <3

day. The coolest and most beautiful venue we came across in our searches - it's unique enough to stand out and traditional enough to please all of your guests. We had THE most perfect wedding in THE most perfect venue and I'd do it all over again if I could. It was so great to have the entire estate for the entire day, and the accommodations were so perfect that the entire Bridal Party was able to share the gorgeous bridal suite areas upstairs for getting ready. Prep, Ceremony, Cocktail, and Reception all under one roof was THE way to go! Community House of Moorestown is the PERFECT spot for your wedding - it was for ours.

My husband and I got married here 11/18/2022 and when we first saw the venue it was exactly what we were looking for. I fell in love with the beautiful historic charm and I knew it...
would make me feel like a queen on my special day. We had looked into a couple other places but not many offered the entire place for one price which helped us keep ceremony and reception all at one place. Even though the library is a separate add-on you still get many other additional rooms and for the entire day. The icing on the cake was having a bridal suite and makeup room included for my makeup artist to come do everyone’s makeup. My husband I are big dancers so the large dance floor is a plus! The staff there are also very helpful! Joan is so kind and answered all the questions we had along the way. We have no regrets with choosing Moorestown Community House for our wedding venue.

seriously, look no further. Joan and Jennifer were such a pleasure to work with and always so helpful with any questions I had throughout the year, leading up to our wedding. They have a gorgeous getting ready suite for the bride and groom, which we were able to utilize since 8am that morning, the library (which is an addition) is absolutely stunning and a cool space to host the cocktail hour. The ball room is super spacious and has a great dance floor and a stage for a DJ or Band. Overall, our experience here was amazing and I am so happy we had our wedding here. The day could not have been more perfect!!
My husband and I hosted our Reception at the Community House of Moorestown in July 2022. It was amazing, and we loved the flexibility the site offered. We were able to work closely...
with our caterer to develop a menu and schedule that fit our needs. It was an extremely HOT July day, but the ballroom stayed nice and cool! We loved having the venue all day, so we could come in early and set things up. I would absolutely recommend the Community House for anyone who wants to add unique touches to your special day, and is looking to plan a wedding that isn't "cookie cutter"! This site allows you to really make it your own. Thanks for everything!

grand ballroom for dinner and dancing. This beautiful space is all in what looks like an old mansion from the 1930s. We did not rent the library space, but it was also beautiful. You can't go wrong here.
We absolutely loved our wedding at the Community House!! We first reached out during Covid via the knot and did not get a response. I believe we also called and left a message, but...
due to Covid, the office was closed most of the week. Luckily our caterer works with the Community House frequently and was able to get in touch with them. Joan actually opened the Community House for us to tour on a day it is usually closed and we had the whole place to ourselves. After touring the Library room, we knew it was the venue for us! The Community House has multiple rooms where you can have your ceremony, and the option for cocktail hour to be in the front room and/or flow to the front porch. It's an absolutely gorgeous venue with the best bridal suite I've seen (and I toured 8 venues). The bridal suit is huge; it consists of multiple rooms including a kitchenette and a room for hair and make up. I would absolutely recommend the Community House for your wedding!
This venue could not have been any better!! We had the entire house to our wedding (rent the library for just in case like our wedding where it was too hot to get married out front...

From the moment we set foot in the Moorestown Community House, we knew it would be the perfect place to celebrate our wedding! The staff and building are both so welcoming, making ...
you feel at home during your event. Working with Joan to plan our event was effortless, as she and her team are kind, flexible, and extremely helpful, full of advice gathered from many previous events. Different spaces throughout the Community House served different purposes throughout our day allowing us to have lots of room to mingle, eat, and dance. The accommodations of the bridal suite made getting ready with our friends and family convenient and comfortable. The front lawn and exterior of the building created a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony while the interior of the building is so stunning we had hardly any need for decorations. Overall, our time at the Moorestown Community House was an amazing experience and the greatest pleasure to work with.

As residents of Moorestown, the Main Street location felt like home, and we loved being able to decorate the ballroom to our own unique sense of style. It was very special to have local businesses involved as well - the catering, music, flowers, photography, and special performances by our local theatre company!
Everything was absolutely perfect, from our first meeting with Joan to the night of our "Dandie" affair. We could not have dreamed of having a more beautiful wedding anywhere else. The Community House of Moorestown is the only place to have the wedding of your dreams.
I found the community house of Moorestown completely by accident, as I live about an hour away in Pennsylvania! It was the first place my fiancé and I looked at, and we completely ...
fell in love! We booked immediately and if you do end up booking here, adding in the library room is an absolute MUST! Everyone here was a pleasure to work with. They let me come and tour the space multiple times, usually on short notice, since I’m such a planner and wanted to lay out my theme! The space itself is just incredible, and could work for almost any wedding you could ever dream of! For my intimate, romantic, vintage winter wedding, it was an absolute fairytale! We used Bacios catering which was fantastic, but all of the caterers they recommend are great options! This is definitely a 10/10 wedding venue that is flying under the radar! My guests were shocked by how beautiful it was, and wondering why they’ve never seen it before! If you’re looking for the perfect intimate unique wedding Location, you found it!!

beauty and you can have the whole house from morning to the end of the night it was absolutely perfect. We had our ceremony in the library, cocktail hour in the club room, buffet spread out in the garden room and the reception in the ballroom. For the wedding party they have a whole upstairs to get ready in! Our guests just loved the house and the history. I highly recommend the Community House for anyone whose looking for something different for their venue!

Community House was better than we ever imagined for our wedding. We were originally looking for an outdoor, woodsy feel under the stars but once we saw community house and all it ...
had to offer there was no comparison. The price was incredible, the spacious rooms have so many option to do what we wanted, the history
was beautiful, and my caterer used their kitchen to serve hot foods made right there!!!..no cold, pre-prepared food here!
Amid a pandemic Community House was understanding and worked with us over any concerns. They responded to all of our questions and worked with our vendors, and guided us through each step and vision for our wedding. My guests had a blast. We loved community house so much that even though we live 40 minutes away, we couldn't miss the "getting ready" photo opportunities using their upstairs rooms. So we made special arrangements to all stay in hotels, get transportation to my church for ceremony (located where I live) and back, etc. Community House was willing to make special accomodations so we could do that and get the pictures we wanted...which came out incredible!!!
The indoor and outdoor areas were beautiful. We used the lawn for games during cocktail hour then moved inside for the reception...even made use of their pianos as we are both musicians! Because of community house and caterers they work with, our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined!!!
The staff member who was there day of our wedding was very friendly. He worked hard to set up the room and hallways just as we pictured. Joan responded to our emails promptly and w...

the entire building to yourselves starting at 9am, so you can spend the entire day getting ready there and truly enjoying the space. The only complaint I have is the temperature in the building. I understand it's a much older building so the systems may not be up to par. Our wedding was in the middle of August so it was already a hot day, and we had a little under 140 guests. But it was very toasty during the ceremony in the library and cocktail hour. We asked the staff to lower the AC multiple times, but no matter how much we lowered the temp, it was still very warm inside the building. Especially when wearing formalwear. Eventually, our caterer took control of the thermostat and knocked it down to the 50's , which seemed to work by the time we got into the reception.
Overall, a great experience and we're very happy with our choice to host our wedding at the Community House.
