Serenity Ridge: Venue, Vendors, and Views
Some wedding details don’t just enhance the day, they outlive it. Our Specialty Vendors are creatives who help couples preserve the feeling of their wedding long after the last song plays. From artists who capture the ceremony as it unfolds to experts who transform florals into lasting keepsakes, these vendors add depth, artistry, and meaning to your celebration. Live Painting Caroline Paints Live offers one-of-a-kind oil paintings and guest portraits created onsite during your wedding or special event. With a loose, painterly impressionistic style, Caroline captures not just the likeness, but the feeling, of a moment in real time. Guests love the experience, and the hosts walk away with an heirloom they’ll treasure forever. Caroline Paints Live || Caroline Hubbell (215) 622-8943 CarolinePaintsLive@gmail.com @carolinepaintslive
Thoughtful details, already here and ready to use. To make planning easier, Serenity Ridge offers a curated collection of décor and event essentials available for use during your wedding weekend. These are the pieces couples reach for again and again, items that layer beautifully with your personal style without requiring extra rentals, deliveries, or coordination. From tableware and candle holders to vases, signage pieces, and A/V equipment, everything on this page is designed to work seamlessly within the Pavilion and across the property. You’re welcome to keep things simple, mix in a few favorites, or use these items as a foundation for something entirely your own.
Our Pavilion is designed to flex with your vision, not box it in. This page offers a collection of thoughtfully designed floor plans to help you imagine how your celebration might flow, whether you’re dreaming of long communal tables, an open dance floor, or something beautifully in between. These layouts are meant to inspire, not restrict. Many couples use them as a starting point, then make small adjustments to reflect their guest count, priorities, and overall vibe. Every layout shown here works seamlessly within the Pavilion and pairs naturally with the tables included in your venue rental, detailed below.
