Small Weddings, Done Beautifully
An Intimate Wedding Venue in Reading, PA
Marry in a historic 1877 mansion on the National Register of Historic Places — not a banquet hall. Ceremonies and receptions for up to about 40 seated wedding guests, with the whole first floor, setup, and an in-house coordinator included.
Why Couples Choose the Inn
A Historic Mansion Wedding, Without the Banquet-Hall Feel
If your guest list is closer to 40 than 200, most venues in Berks County will feel half-empty. The Inn at Centre Park was made for intimate weddings: a Gothic Revival mansion in Reading’s Centre Park Historic District where your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flow through ornately detailed parlors and gardens — and your photos need no backdrop but the house itself.
You get the entire first floor, an in-house event coordinator, and a genuinely affordable rental — plus a BYOB bar that saves couples thousands compared to venue liquor packages.

Intimate Wedding Questions
What size wedding is right for the inn?
We specialize in intimate weddings of up to about 40 seated guests, with cocktail-style receptions for more. If your guest list is small, the mansion will feel full, warm, and personal — never empty.
Can we have our ceremony on site too?
Yes. Indoor and outdoor ceremony settings are available, and your rental includes a half-hour ceremony plus up to five hours of reception time.
Is the inn really BYOB?
Yes. You bring the alcohol; our mandatory bar setup and service fee of $10 per person covers a bartender, mixers, soft drinks, ice, glassware, and full setup — typically a major saving versus venue bar packages. Bar service is subject to 6% PA sales tax and a 20% service charge.
Can our guests stay overnight?
Yes. The inn has three historic overnight suites, and Saturday and holiday wedding rentals include all three. Many couples spend their wedding night in the Wilhelm Suite.
