Just outside of Philadelphia in its western suburbs is The Main Line, a destination for many. What began as a rail line of train stations stretching from Bala Cynwyd west to Paoli is now dotted with mansions and estates with long tree-lined driveways, rolling hills, vast manicured landscape and English gardens.

We recently highlighted Part One of our Ultimate Guide to Main Line Venues; this week we're highlighting Part Two!
There you will find a wide variety of unique Main Line wedding venues from elegant hotels, boutique hotels with verandas, to quaint bed and breakfasts with distinctive architecture and private and public country clubs. Yet still in these suburbs, country life is prevalent especially horse farms--and its lifestyle is practically a subculture.
Its close proximity to the airport, Philadelphia and highways is just another reason to host your event on The Main Line. Here are seven more Main Line wedding venues we are featuring this week:
Pomme
Pomme is a converted Main Line clubhouse in Radnor secluded in the greenery of mature trees, and lush gardens.
Its year-round newly constructed veranda peers out over the pond, stream and canopy of trees for those interested in a garden wedding. Its bridal suite is truly unique since it’s located in a converted wine cellar. Described as a contemporary space featuring elegant-rustic touches, Pomme’s ballroom will change your preconceptions to what defines a traditional ballroom.
Top-notch Peachtree & Ward Catering is exclusive to this beautiful venue.
Wayne Art Center is a contemporary, state-of-the-art facility that allows you and your guests to wander through spacious galleries, lobbies and light-filled studio spaces.
Located in Wayne, PA, the space is ideal for personal milestones and celebrations or corporate events. It offers unique and flexible floor plans for a variety of special events.
