Picture this: Centuries-old stone buildings, framed by lush gardens and winding walkways, create a setting straight out of a storybook.
Every corner of this idyllic property is perfect for a romantic stroll or secluded photo op—any Pennsylvania wedding photographer’s dream!
You truly can’t help feeling as if you stumbled into a European countryside fairytale.

The ceremony courtyard, with its grand stone facade and floral-draped fountain, makes a breathtaking setting for vows that feel both sacred and celebratory.

Inside the reception hall, exposed wooden beams, chandeliers, and café lights create an inviting, candlelit glow that feels both refined and cozy.

The hand-carved garden statuary is one of many lovingly placed details that make HollyHedge Estate a visually rich estate.
Say your vows in the garden, beside a floral-draped fountain, or toast in the twinkle-lit barn reception hall. Add in the balcony overlooking the fountain courtyard, intricate statues and sculptures, and the unmistakable candlelit warmth of the evening—and what you get is a venue brimming with intimate, old-world beauty and a cozy, fairytale feel.
The History of the Estate
If you’re planning a wedding day that exudes classic Pennsylvania character, you won’t find a more worthy contender than Holly Hedge Estate in New Hope.

Initially, guests are greeted by a rustic stone barn with green shutter doors. This charming welcome sets the tone for a day full of warmth and elegance.
A fellow by the name of Watson Fell built HollyHedge in the 1780s. Since then, over five generations of families have poured their love and creativity into the estate’s evolution. The property was last purchased in 1994 by the Luccaro family, who transformed it into the present-day country estate known for hosting elegant events.
“In the 1960s, HollyHedge hosted students across the country as a premier performing arts academy. “Arts amidst the fields” offered outdoor classes and performances in music, theater, modern dance, and ballet to the greater community.”
