Industrial-Chic Hotel on Philadelphia's Main Line
Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing is a wedding venue located in Bala Cynwyd, PA. Originally a specialty iron foundry, the Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing has been re-invented into a sleek and industrial riverfront destination and wedding venue. Located on Philadelphia's Main Line, Lark and The Pumphouse sit beside the Schuylkill River and is only a short drive from Philadelphia's city center. With an array of event spaces on offer, this setting welcomes weddings of all sizes and types. Couples are invited to experience the beauty and tranquility of a waterfront setting without straying too far from the city.
Veiled with iron trusses dating back to 1852, the Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing has retained a sense of its industrial origins while boasting modern and chic interiors. We offer two distinct venues to meet the needs of both intimate and grand affairs alike. On the top floor of Lark Restaurant, both the Wine Library and Dining Room are perfect for an evening featuring elevated cuisine in an elegant setting. The Pump House, our latest riverside event venue, showcases four unique indoor and outdoor spaces featuring the original 1852 industrial structures juxtaposed with breathtaking views of the river and skyline.
The Ironworks culinary team is led by one of Philadelphia's most notable chefs, Nicholas Elmi. Chef Elmi has been twice nominated as Best Chef Mid-Atlantic by the James Beard Foundation and won Season 11 of Bravo's Top Chef Series. He is also well known for his award-winning Philadelphia restaurants, Laurel and Royal Boucherie. Chef Nicholas Elmi and his team have curated delectable menu selections with farm-fresh ingredients to create a memorable culinary experience that you and your guests will savor!

We hosted our entire wedding weekend at Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing in October 2024, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The venue’s blend of industrial charm and modern elegance provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration.
We kicked off Friday night with an intimate rehearsal dinner at Lark, followed by drinks and light bites in a private section of the hotel lobby. It was the perfect way to welcome our guests! On Saturday, we exchanged vows in the stunning outdoor area by The Pump House, surrounded by beautiful fall foliage, before moving inside for an unforgettable reception. The celebration wrapped up on Sunday back in the hotel lobby with a delicious farewell brunch by The Landing Kitchen.
One of the things we (and our guests) loved most was the convenience of having everything in one place. Being able to stay on-site and attend all the events without needing to travel created a relaxed and communal atmosphere for the weekend. Our guests also continue to rave about all the food! We opted for a family style meal for our reception which we think added to the cozy feel of the weekend.
Last but not least, we can’t say enough great things about Jennifer and the entire team at Ironworks! From the start, Jennifer was an absolute joy to work with—always responsive, and incredibly accommodating, even with last-minute updates. She went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life, and her expertise made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to her and the team, everything turned out even better than we had imagined!
If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning spaces, convenience, and top-notch service, we wholeheartedly recommend Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate!

We had our daughter’s bat mitzvah partylast month . From start to finish, the planning, preparation, support, communication were outstanding. Whether it was deciding on the theme, the flowers, the menu options-we receivedflawless service… Jennifer and Shannon led the way planning our event and I can’t say enough about the service at the party. Everyone said that it was the best party they’ve ever been to including our friends and family from New York and Connecticut, which says a lot. The food was outstanding. We went to the tasting menu and then reviewed our choices with Jennifer and chose the dishes very carefully. Everybody commented about the setting, the spirit and especially, the food. The food and service were above the bar. Shannon let the team the night of the event and she was unbelievably helpful. Super patient and follow the schedule perfectly. We were so impressed with her professionalism and communication. Again, my only regret is that it’s over ! I will definitely book another event In the future. Thank you to the entire team for making our daughter’s bat mitzvah. Extra special. Shannon, a big shout out to you for all the work you put into the event..

We held our October 2024 wedding at The Pump House and our guests still rave about the food and experience. Jennifer and her team were wonderful to work with, supporting any and all requests, allowing us the flexibility to create an event that truly felt like us. The service is top tier and we couldn’t have been more appreciative that our guests were so well taken care of. Every inch of the venue is well thought out and provides an elevated yet fun atmosphere. We loved the proximity to the city while having an accomodation option next door for guests. Couldn’t be happier we chose The Pump House - looking forward to visiting Lark for our future anniversary celebrations :)

We had our cocktail style wedding here June 2023. The staff was exceptionally helpful and attentive to our guests and the planning process was straightforward and easy! Guests raved about the food, the atmosphere and the drinks were next level—not typical wedding bar mixed drinks. They had plentyyyyyy of bartenders and staff members so no one was waiting long for a drink, food or help of any kind. They dedicated one staff member for me and one for my husband so we had a “go to” person all night. They were very helpful for all the vendors that came early in the day while I was getting ready. Everything was seamless and we couldn’t have had a better experience!!! 10/10

We had a small, surprise wedding and Lark was able to accommodate our vision—and then some. The space was perfect for what we wanted. We had hors d’oeuvres in the lounge area and the library serving to hide the ceremony and reception. When we did our toast and announced the ceremony and the doors opened—I am just glad we had photographic evidence to capture the shock on everyone’s faces. Leading up to our event, Jennifer was so helpful. We had a few dietary restrictions from our attendees and Lark could not have been more accommodating. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and their overall experience. It was such a fantastic evening, everyone was so gracious and helpful, and it was just so amazing. The area itself has a beautiful backdrop for photographs and having the hotel attached to the venue made everything easy. You have made customers for life, everyone kept saying how they need to make reservations to come back!

A wonderful space with so much to offer! The view is breathtaking and they are so willing to accommodate needs. Being so close to Philadelphia International Airport is ideal for people traveling, too.

My fiancé and I toured this venue. Great location and cool atmosphere, however the wedding space is not a great layout. The room is designed to separate the tables from the dance floor. It’s almost around the corner. Just wanted to give any future Mr & Mrs some information before booking a tour.
