About Awbury Arboretum (Portico at the Francis Cope House)

Portico, the wedding venue at Awbury Arboretum, sits in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, surrounded by the largest remaining island of open space in that part of the city. At its center is the Francis Cope House, a Victorian stone mansion with floor-to-ceiling windows and a wraparound porch, and your photographer and videographer can choose from an enchanted forest, a lawn, shaded clearings, an English garden and a white peaked tent.

Several spots on the grounds can hold your wedding ceremony, each with a different feel, and a Secret Garden too. Before the vows, a second-floor wedding suite in the house looks out over the grounds, a lovely place for getting-ready pictures. Dinner is served under the white tent, and dancing moves inside the Cope House, with room for up to 160 guests.

Catering and event planning are handled only by the venue's catering company, which also runs the bookings. The arboretum's landscape was designed in the English landscape garden style, with specimen trees, meadows and wetlands, so wedding photos change with the seasons. A wedding videographer will want to plan sound for an outdoor ceremony among the trees, and the porch makes a good spot for cocktail-hour footage. Part of what you spend supports the arboretum's upkeep.

  • Contact the caterer that runs Portico to check your date.
  • Walk the ceremony spots with your photographer before the wedding day.
  • Ask about photo and video guidelines, parking and a rain plan.

A little about Awbury Arboretum

This land was bought in 1852 as a family summer home, and the arboretum became a nonprofit in 1916 to keep it open for the quiet enjoyment of nature.
