Standing proudly on 13 manicured acres in Fox Chase, Knowlton Mansion pairs 19th-century opulence with a light-filled contemporary conservatory—giving couples the best of historic charm and modern comfort. From its intricate wood-carved interiors to the glass-skylit ballroom that seats up to 225 guests, every corner feels designed for timeless wedding images.
Architectural pedigree – Designed in 1879 by famed Victorian architect Frank Furness, the mansion features stained-glass windows, Oriental rugs and art-rich parlors that add depth and storytelling layers to your gallery.
Indoor-outdoor flexibility – Say “I do” beneath the vine-wrapped pergola, wander through perennial gardens for portraits, then dance the night away under 30-foot vaulted ceilings in the climate-controlled conservatory.
Full-service culinary excellence – Exclusive partner Conroy Catering crafts bespoke menus on-site, keeping the day seamless and guest experience elevated.
Easy Philadelphia access – Located just 30 minutes from Center City and major highways, the estate offers city convenience without sacrificing countryside tranquility.
