this was the most beautiful venue ever! It was amazing from the outdoor ceremony options, the venue itself and all the surrounding areas. I mean you get to ride in on a trolly before you walk down the aisle if you want. The whole museum atmosphere was something unique and people are still talking about it. Lindsay was amazing with everything and so helpful when it came to the final details! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue to start the rest of our lives.

The number one compliment we received from our guests was having our wedding at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum! They had an amazing time getting to see all the exhibits, walk through the different trolleys, and then ride a trolley during cocktail hour. Throughout the whole planning process Lindsay was an absolute gem to work with. She answered all my questions no matter how big or small and was always willing to let me stop by to show my mom the space, walk through with our caterer, and do a final walk through before the wedding to finalize all the details. When we toured the museum last year my husband and I commented on how much we loved the Christmas decorations and how they would match our colors, Lindsay didn’t hesitate to offer to make sure they were up for our November 15th wedding! Lindsay and everyone else at the museum went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I cannot recommend a more special place to celebrate our wedding.
