For your wedding or special occasion, consider the simple beauty of Buckingham Friends Meeting House.  Set on 30 acres on the picturesque Buckingham Meeting and School grounds, the Meeting House has been designated a National Historic Landmark, and can accommodate up to 200 guests. With its refined elements reflective of the Georgian style of architecture, the 1768 Meeting House offers a uniquely authentic site for your wedding or special occasion.  

Located in charming Bucks County, Buckingham Friends Meeting House is conveniently located next to Peddlers’ Village and minutes from New Hope, Pennsylvania, offering many reception choices close by.  An alcohol-free reception may be held at the Meeting House or adjacent Buckingham Friends’ School facility.  

Celebrate your wedding or special occasion in this historic and romantic setting in the heart of Bucks County, Pennsylvania for memories that will last a lifetime.

 

As you may know, the Quaker marriage ceremony is unique and different from those of other faiths.  The couple in a Quaker wedding are not married by a minister, but marry each other in the presence of God and Friends.  An official Quaker religious ceremony requires the approval of the Meeting to be held "under the care of the meeting" and a special marriage license from the state of Pennsylvania.  Like other churches, Quakers have a process for approving an official wedding that we would be happy to discuss with you.  However, you may also rent the Meetinghouse for a wedding or commitment ceremony not under our care; such ceremonies require a standard Pennsylvania state marriage license and an officiator, where applicable.
