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 thro...
ugh 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.

rfect. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail helped everything run so smoothly and made us feel completely at ease.
The venue itself is incredible, unique, charming, and such a memorable experience for us and our guests. Between the trolleys, the beautiful setting, and Lindsay’s amazing support, our wedding day could not have been more special. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay and the PA Trolley Museum to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind venue and exceptional service.

hour was a great hit with our guests. People came up to us the entire night and told us how much fun our wedding was solely because of the venue. People said it was the best wedding they had been to in a while! I would highly recommend having your wedding reception at this venue. We will always remember it and hold the museum close to our hearts!
