Weddings at The Merion Tribute House 



Weddings
Weddings are a long and cherished tradition at the Merion Tribute House. Bridal couples have walked through these arches to greet their guests and celebrate with friends and family since 1924. The balcony is a favorite place for brides to toss their bouquets and for couples to pose for pictures. This castle-like venue is perfect for the fairy-tale wedding of your dreams!Receptions
The Tribute House has an open floor plan that allows people to mingle while retaining the intimate atmosphere of a private home. Guests assemble for cocktails in three front rooms (the Legion Room, Lounge, and Memorial Hall), which connect to our spacious flagstone terrace. Oak doors open to reveal a ballroom (newly renovated in January 2011) set for 70 to 175 people, a band or DJ and a dance floor - all together in one room. Two lots provide plentiful parking for your guests.Ceremonies
For those who choose to have a ceremony as well as a reception, the Merion Tribute House offers many choices. Outdoor ceremonies can be accommodated anywhere on our eight-acre estate, typically on the front lawn where guests can admire the bride's entrance and processional from our Great Doors. Indoor ceremonies can be held either in the ballroom (for guest counts over 100) or the more intimate Legion Room (for under 100). We provide and set up white chairs for outdoor ceremonies. If you choose to have your ceremony here, we grant an extra half hour of rental time and you may schedule a rehearsal here in advance.
Here's what some of our clients have said about their events at the Merion Tribute House:
"Please accept our family's sincerest thanks and gratitude for all you did to help Dana and Frank's wedding be the gloriously unforgettable event it was. Your intervention with coordinating the various stages of the day made everything run smoothly so guests and family could relax and enjoy ourselves. All who came were totally blown away by the grand architecture of the building. Yet as castle-like as the house is, I heard repeatedly tha tthe atmosphere inside made one feel you were inside a relaxing cozy manor house. Most of us would love ot just move in and stay a while. All in all, a marvelous venue to have a party in."

"My son was married this weekend at the Tribute House and it was perfect. What I like about it was that it wasn't your typical wedding reception venue. The Tribute House is unique, beautiful, and charming. The wedding planner was excellent and very helpful. We had 106 guests and the room/dance floor was perfect. Everyone fit comfortably and EVERYONE had a wonderful time. What a truly wonderful experience!"

All of our guests said how beautiful the Tribute House is and of course so did we! Thanks so much again for everything!"

"I have to thank you again for all your help planning this event. Everyone adored the different rooms in the MTH, and commented on what a remarkable building it was! Pam and I went nuts over the ivory and gold wreaths in the ballroom. They were truly elegant, and looked great with the pillar candles! I loved all the seating available in the Lounge for cocktails, and the fireplace in the Legion Room was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a lovelier venue for our wedding. Thanks so much!"

"Staff at Merion Tribute House...Just a note to thank the staff of Merion Tribute House for the great job at my daughter's wedding. The concierge for the night was so courteous and professional...I never expected all the help she offered me. She was a doll! What a night...it was like a fairytale wedding reception, really. A sincere thank you to all...
