About this venue

Set across 42 acres just beyond Philadelphia, the estate is home to a collection of architecturally significant mansions, each offering its own private experience. Elstowe Manor anchors the estate with grand Gilded Age architecture and fully restored interiors, while Chelten House, an English Tudor estate arriving in late 2026, and the Carriage House to follow, will introduce two additional, entirely distinct settings. Each property hosts its own celebration, creating a sense of exclusivity that’s rare to find. With overnight accommodations onsite, your wedding becomes more than a day, it becomes a fully immersive weekend, brought to life with Landmark’s signature hospitality.

    The Beautiful Elkins Estate!

    My husband and I hosted our wedding at Elkins Estate this past August and it was a dream come true! Elkins Estate offers an incredibly unique atmosphere and our guests were stunned by the beauty and expanse of the manor. Ed, Devon, and every staff member at Elkins Estate went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we wanted it to be and more! Ed was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, making sure every detail was taken care of and every question was answered. On the wedding day, the staff treated us and our families like royalty! Being able to stay in rooms on-site both the night before and the night of the wedding was a major bonus, allowing our families to spend maximal time enjoying all that the venue has to offer. The bridal attendant was incredible, taking amazing care of me throughout the wedding day to reduce stress and ensure a seamless day. I have truly never felt so taken care of, and I know our families feel the same way! Our guests are still talking about the stunning views and how delicious the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres, plated dinner, and desserts were. Many guests stated it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Our only critique was the hotel booking system, which required our guests to email back and forth with the venue to book rooms as opposed to having a direct website/link that they could follow to book; some guests mentioned delayed communication and miscommunication in regards to their requests, leading to some issues that added stress to myself and my husband leading up to the wedding. However, the Elkins team worked to iron out the details and our guests who did stay were very pleased with their accommodations, the continental breakfast the following morning, and the service they received. Choosing Elkins Estate for our wedding was the best decision ever - I'd do it again in a heartbeat! It was truly a day that my husband and I will remember forever!

    Outstanding venue!!

    I could not say enough great things about Elkins Estate as a wedding venue!! Our guests were raving all weekend and still can’t stop talking about it. The grounds are breathtaking and feel like you are stepping into a European castle and the service, food, and stay are 10/10! Ed Rubin, the venue manager is incredible, kind, so easy to work with and flexible!!! Also the bride gets a bridal attendant with you all day on Saturday, I had Janeth and she was absolutely AMAZING! She was with me the entire day taking care of me and her care and service were truly unbelievable - she was hands down the only reason I was able to stay as calm and just enjoy the day! We loved everything about Elkins and it truly made our wedding weekend the weekend it was!!

    A an absolute Dream

    Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate was an absolute DREAM! The venue is a gorgeous rare gem for the Philadelphia area filled with European and Gilded Age charm, which is what drew my husband and I to it. The preferred communication for them is through email and very formal initially, however in person they make you feel like family! The catering and wait staff were highly attentive to all guests, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue.

    Hair and Makeup Artist Recommends Elkin's Estate!

    The Elkins Estate is a truly stunning wedding venue. From the beautiful, spacious bridal suite perfect for hair and makeup, to the breathtaking rooms throughout the entire wedding space, every detail is impeccably designed. The venue's great service and attention to every aspect of our client's special day, made it the perfect venue. As a bridal hair and makeup artist, I visit many venues, and I wish every venue had a bridal suite this spacious, with everything a bridal party and the hair and makeup team needs for a smooth wedding morning. I highly recommend the Elkins Estate to any couple looking for a truly exceptional wedding venue. *photos attached are by Asya Photography (also highly recommend)
