I have nothing but amazing things to say about the entire team and staff at Foxbarn at Twenty9. From our initial tour my husband and I knew this was the place for our wedding! The team including Patti, Brittany, and Ally made the entire planning process seamless and were easy to get in contact with at all times when ideas or changes popped into our heads. Having both Brittany and Ally there the day of made it be stressful and run seamless! They knew the timelines, our visions, and made sure we stuck to it! Now to the atmosphere of the site; the views, woodwork and iron work speak for themselves! I loved being able to create our vision within the already beautiful venue site! Our guests continue to complement on how beautiful the grounds were at our wedding and enjoyed the numerous spaces they could enjoy if they didn’t want to be on the dance floor! Lastly, the food and bar service was fantastic - especially the late night cheesesteaks!

The staff at Fox Barn are truly exceptional; our day progressed without a worry or flaw thank you to their hard work and care for us, our families, and our guests. I cannot recommend Fox Barn enough for their quality of service and venue: the layout and buildlings are perfect, aesthetically pleasing, and gave us a lot of movement to our day even within one property. Our guests said food was best they've had at a wedding; bar service is also great. Fox Barn will not disappoint you!

I genuinely can't say enough good things about our experience. It was an incredibly affordable venue AND also had the best food (brought up several times by our family & friends), the best drinks/bar, and incredibly responsive and helpful employees. Brittany made our day incredible. It was unique, stunning, and a perfect experience from start to finish. I really can't recommend them enough.

I highly recommend Foxbarn at Twenty9 for your wedding! It was the best day of me & my husband’s life! The venue was amazing and unique compared to other venues in the way it’s set up for cocktail hour, reception, and dinner. The food was incredible for cocktail hour and dinner. Our guests raved about the food! Our guests loved the layout of the venue and were extremely impressed with how it was decorated. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff! A HUGE shoutout goes to Ally (a Foxbarn wedding coordinator) who made our special day absolutely perfect!! Our guests said our wedding was one of the best weddings they have ever been too. What more could you ask for!

My husband and I got married at Fox Barn on 5/17/24 and could not be happier with our decision! Our entire family stayed at the farmhouse on the venue property the night before and had our rehearsal dinner catered by Fox Barn at the house. We also spent the day getting ready there, with an outside ceremony, cocktail hour on the lower deck, and reception upstairs. Patty, Brittany and the rest of the team went above and beyond from the moment we arrived and our entire stay was nothing short of perfection.
All of our guests raved about the unique style, drinks and most importantly the food. Everything tasted just as good as the night of our tasting.
My only takeaway is it can sometimes take them some time to reply to emails which at times can be a bit nerve wracking. Just thought that’s helpful to know in advance.
I really cannot recommend Fox Barn at Twenty9 enough.

We loved having our wedding be at Fox Barn at Twenty9! I remember touring the facility and Patty the owner made us feel so comfortable for all of the questions we had. Patty's responsiveness and willingness to make our special day fit this venue and it was exactly the reason why we booked not only the whole facility for the day of the wedding; but, we even stayed overnight at the farmhouse and had her restaurant cater our rehearsal dinner. The logistics of the day of events coordinator seemed a little misguiding in terms of communication but, everything came together once the wedding started.
My husband and I are really excited to come back here for date nights in the future to enjoy the downstairs part of the venue and will definitely consider having events here in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants high quality food and drinks at a more reasonable price than other places in the area and it's a great spot for indoor/outdoor option.

This venue is absolutely stunning and you get so much bang for your buck! Their package includes beautiful chairs, chargers, linens, and so many other small details the venue provided like floating candle vases, etc. We utilized the farmhouse to host our rehearsal the night before and also to get ready in which was so awesome! Patty was kind enough to provide and assist with setting up linens, tables, flatware, etc for our rehearsal even tho we were making our own food and it was in no way something that was included in our package. And then for the wedding we only booked the top floor of the venue for about 100 guests. It was beautiful for our day and the team put in so much care. Literally the owner was serving dinner plates on the wedding day and they accommodated us in so many ways that I’m not sure other vendors would have (example: I had a sick relative back out the week of the wedding and the venue actually reimbursed us)! The food was amazing and my guests raved about the venue! I truly could go on and on! Book them!

This is not a run of the mill wedding factory … which is what we wanted! However this place has a lot of kinks to work out to become a well oiled machine. Please take my advice and hire a day of coordinator. You cannot get married here without one. My planner set everything up, helped me during pictures, bustled my dress, brought me dinner, helped with my cake cutting, and packed everything up at the end of the night. The venue does not do these things. If I didn’t have a planner I would have been doing it all myself on my wedding day. The one thing the venue was responsible for they failed to do. While my planner was with me Patti (the owner) and her staff were supposed to walk around cocktail hour and ask my guests to go upstairs at 550pm so everyone could be sitting down by 6pm. She failed to do this. I had to grab the lead singer from the band and ask her to quickly make an announcement. By the time the guests were seated and my husband and I did our entrance/first dance, we were about 30 mins behind schedule. We spoke many times about my timeline (she even sent me an email with the timeline) so I was extremely upset when everything was derailed! Just hire the planner. And read the other negative comments… because I had similar experiences too. But after my guests went downstairs for dancing on the deck everything was fine. Everyone still can’t stop talking about how fun our wedding was!

We discussed specifics on location & set up of photo booth, wedding favors & table numbers & where each guest is seated... This was also provided in typed & detailed directions- none of this was done. The venue & food were what we were looking for. It was our outside vendors & guests that worked endlessly to give us the wedding of our dreams.
When I voiced my concerns everything was refuted & no apology was given. As a business owner I expected a simple- sorry you feel that way. We apologize for the miscommunication. A response that shows little concern or accountability is awfully disappointing and surprising to come from a venue owner

The venue is beautiful and perfect for the atmosphere/look of our wedding. The farmhouse was perfect for our rehearsal dinner, getting ready, and hanging out all night. It is huge with plenty of space for the wedding party and a great sound system throughout the whole house for music. It was also a great price for delicious food & a good location.
However, Patricia the owner was extremely frustrating to work with. It was like pulling teeth to get answers to any of our emails, and any time we discussed anything in person, she would not write anything down or remember anything we talked about. It was like we had never had the meeting, as she would never follow up with any questions or requests, and it was up to me as the bride to make sure things were getting done & answered properly. She would go radio silent for weeks, seemingly ignoring my emails. It made the wedding planning process WAY more stressful than it already is. It got to the point where we were afraid to ask more questions out of fear that requests we had already made would be incorrect.
She took notes on scrap paper one singular time in our final meeting about the menu, even though she had a MacBook she could have been writing notes in every time we met. It is my guess she lost that paper as well, because items on the menu on our event order were incorrect. It took forever for her to correct it, resulting in us having to wait until just days before the wedding to make any payments.
We were also lied to about who would be our day-of coordinator. I requested that the same person also be there for our rehearsal so that I could make sure we were on the same page for ceremony plans as well as the flow of the day. Patricia was the one there for our rehearsal, and I verbally confirmed with her that she would be the one with us for our wedding. While I am putting on my wedding dress, she informs me that is actually going to be Tom the manager (who is super nice but he did not know what we had discussed at the rehearsal). As a result, there was much unneeded confusion at the very last minute about the plan.
I had also made it very clear that there could be NO nuts in any of the dishes as my sister has a deadly allergy. It was discussed MULTIPLE times and written in bold letters on our event order. There were walnuts in the salad which could have killed her if I had not noticed it. Tom was apologetic and offered to make a special plate for her, but this was very upsetting.
I also spent the morning of my wedding cleaning up trash outside from the wedding before ours and helping remove their decorations. It is inexcusable to be told we could decorate in the morning, yet have to clean up someone else's wedding first. We then had to rush to decorate for our own wedding. At the very end of the night, we were informed that we had to remove all of OUR decorations immediately because they would be closed the next day.
The chairs for the ceremony were also set up in a very haphazard way and the groomsmen ended up rearranging them themselves. Our linen colors were also incorrect and I folded half of the napkins myself after she got the correct ones. Overall the wedding turned out beautiful and our guests raved about the food, but the whole process could have been A LOT less stressful with better communication. The owner should hire someone else with event/wedding experience as it was obvious to my husband who works in the event planning industry that she did not have the necessary skills.

I can’t say enough amazing and positive things about our experience at FoxBarn! We had our wedding reception there and stayed at the farmhouse on the property as well.
First things first, Patty is the kindest, most genuine person at heart. She stayed in great communication with me throughout the entire planning process and listened to all of my wedding day visions. She made the wedding of my dreams come true and made planning so easy. I can’t recommend working with her enough! My vendors that day can also vouch for how great working with Patty is!
We chose to have a cocktail style wedding and rented out the entire venue. Our guests could not stop raving about how awesome the venue was, how great the food was, & how incredible the staff was. It was such an amazing night that people are still texting us about!
The newly renovated 6 bedroom farmhouse is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend renting that out for the whole wedding weekend. It’s so convenient because it’s right on the property and it gave the bridal party a place to hang after pictures. It was also a great way for my bridal party to all spend the night with me so we could wake up together and start hair and makeup!
I could go on and on about how positive our experience is..but you see see for yourself and book FoxBarn for your wedding! You will not regret it!

We had our wedding here on 7.31.21 and renting out the entire venue. Guests could not stop raving about the location, the decorations, the outdoor deck and bar, and especially the food; high quality food for a reasonable price! We originally were supposed to get married somewhere else in Philly in 2020, moved it back a whole year and then in February of 2021 found out that our original venue couldn't have us. Within a week we found FoxBarn and we are so glad we did! Patty and team made the whole day so amazing and we actually are super happy we had to switch venues because now I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. My husband and I are really excited to come back here for date nights in the future to enjoy the downstairs part of the venue and will definitely consider having events here in the future. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants high quality food and drinks at a more reasonable price than other places in the area and it's a great spot for an indoor/outdoor option.

We had our wedding celebration on the bottom floor of Fox Barn on 6.26.21. It is a stunning venue, inside and out. We have gotten countless compliments this past week saying how beautiful the venue was and how much guests enjoyed their time. Working with Jess and Patty made the entire planning process easy. Also, extra kudus to our insanely efficient and kind bartender Brittany.

Fox Barn at Twenty9 is the dream PA venue. The organizers and staff were incredible at helping us form the visions for our fall 2020 wedding. Everyone was so attentive! And the venue itself? GORGEOUS. The patio space allowed us to have the duel indoor/outdoor experience that was beyond our imaginations. The food, the drinks, the service, the views - spectacular. Our wedding day was perfect in every possible way, and Fox Barn at Twenty9 was a huge part of that.

We had our rehearsal dinner at Twenty9 and I had guests approaching me all night telling me how beautiful the location was and how amazing the food was. We were able to choose from a 3 item menu and each choice was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the deck wasn't open when we had our event but I would absolutely go back. The atmosphere and the ease of planning made it a great choice!
