Wedding Hair and Makeup in Philadelphia: Five Wedding Venues We Love

As a luxury on-location bridal beauty team, we’ve had the honor of working in some of the most iconic, elegant, and romantic wedding venues in Philadelphia.

From historic estates to modern city rooftops, Philly has no shortage of stunning spots to say “I do”—and our Philadelphia hair and makeup artist team has glammed our way through all of them.

1. The Elkins Estate – Elkins Park, PA

Dreamy. Regal. Whimsical. The Elkins Estate is one of those venues that feels straight out of a European fairytale. From its Gilded Age architecture to the grand indoor spaces and lush grounds, every angle is picture-perfect. Our talented Philadelphia hair and makeup artists love getting our brides ready in their spacious bridal suites, where the natural light makes for flawless makeup application and dreamy “getting ready” photos.

2. Parque Ridley Creek - Glen Mills

We absolutely adore working weddings at Parque at Ridley Creek—it’s like stepping into a romantic European dream, right in the heart of Delaware County. With its stone architecture, lush gardens, and tree-lined paths, Parque offers an effortlessly elegant backdrop for any season. The natural light inside the bridal suite is perfect for our Philadelphia hair and makeup artists, and the overall vibe is peaceful, private, and timeless. It’s one of those venues where our brides always feel like the main character—and we love creating soft, romantic beauty looks that match the setting perfectly.

3. Union Trust – Philadelphia

We love working weddings at Union Trust—it's the perfect blend of modern elegance and classic Philadelphia grandeur. The soaring ceilings, dramatic chandeliers, and sweeping staircase create a luxurious, cinematic feel that’s ideal for our full-glam brides. The bridal getting-ready space is spacious and well-lit, making it perfect for your Philadelphia hair and makeup artists to set up and work (and dreamy behind-the-scenes photos!). We also love how well the venue is run—timelines are smooth, the staff is professional, and everything feels seamless from start to finish. It’s truly a standout spot for a sophisticated city wedding.

4. Philadelphia Cricket Club - Willow Grove

One of our favorite venues in the area, the Philadelphia Cricket Club is the perfect blend of historic charm and timeless elegance—making it a dream backdrop for bridal beauty. Whether you’re getting ready in one of their beautiful suites or tucked away in the peaceful gardens, our Philadelphia hair and makeup artists ensure you feel calm, pampered, and picture-perfect for every moment. We specialize in classic and modern looks that complement the refined ambiance of the club and photograph beautifully among its lush grounds and sophisticated interiors. From soft glam to romantic updos, we love creating wedding day beauty looks that are as unforgettable as the venue itself.

5. Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts - Philadelphia

Doing weddings at PAFA (Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts) is always a creative dream for us! The historic architecture, stunning artwork, and bold visual backdrops make it one of the most unique venues in Philadelphia. We love glamming our brides in the bridal suite surrounded by masterpieces—it instantly sets the tone for a stylish, artful day. PAFA brides tend to have a strong sense of style, and we get to create looks that are modern, bold, and editorial-inspired. It’s the perfect venue for a couple who wants something timeless and totally unexpected.
