Horrible Experience! unprofessional staff (for weddings and hall rental)! I recently called to schedule a appointment to show my mother and mother in law Curtis Hall Arboretum for my fiancé and myself for a wedding for next year. I spoke with a Miss Brown to see the hall a couple of days before and she told me to meet her at the property at 8:15am. So we agreed and I arrived with my family around at 8:00 am just so we could take a walk around the property and get a feel for how things would go for our wedding. I also told the "manager" that we were a very delicate couple being as tho we just lost our baby boy 2 months ago so we were looking for a beautiful place that we could celebrate our union being as tho we were still grieving. Any who, around 8:15 (Miss Brown still hasn't arrived) my mother and mother in law waited outside and a man walked up to open the place up and said he was only there to clean the bathroom. I then told them to just wait inside and sit down and I would wait for Miss Brown. The man put his hand to my mother face and said, NO NOT YET YOU CANT COME IN", in a very unpleasant matter. STRIKE ONE! So we waited and a older heavy set woman arrived (also with a very nasty and unprofessional attitude as well) let my parents come in and sit down. She claimed to be the manager of the property and said she would show us around. She showed us rooms by just pointing and mumbling. She had no desire on showing us this property and I was getting very upset, impatient and turned off! STRIKE 2! Lastely, it turned 8:45 STILL NO MISS BROWN! So we decided to complain to a very rude and flamboyant man who we found out was the supervisor of everyone. He talked to us with a loud tone and his hand on his hip. STRIKE 3 AND WE'RE OUT! Finally when we decided we had enough and got up and left out and we saw miss brown had finally arrived and was showing someone else the property on our appointment time!!!!!!! wow!!!! You know what was so disappointing about the experience?? The whole staff was African American and so am I and they treated their own kind like trash! SMH! I am marrying a Italian man and I was there with his mother and I was embarrassed that my own kind treated us in such a manner. I began to sob in the car because I was so disappointed and embarrassed. Luckily when we left we ran into a beautiful country club that was so warm and accommodating to my family and it was a blessing in disguise! So we took our 2,800$ that we were looking forward to using at Curtis Hall and went with a Country club instead. Curtis hall is good for one thing and one thing only........walking dogs and taking pictures! NEVER AGAIN!!!!! read more

Curtis Arboretum was the first place I visited with my future husband. I was looking for a venue that was whimsical, natural, yet could deliver upscale glamorous vibes, had outdoor wedding charm but also indoor space for an equally stunning potential rain plan and most importantly ,overall ,would give me bang for my buck. I looked at various options online and visited several in person with my fiance and Curtis Arboretum is where we happily landed. The ceremony site gives me fairy princess whimsy, the partially clear tent provides for natural light in the day, stargazing opportunities at night and rain coverage if needed. The ballroom delivers old world charm with hand-painted grandiose wall that trumpet sound "Bridgerton this is your Diamond of the season" and the ceilings are fit for a royal ball. This place aesthetically is my compiled wedding dreams come true and it could be yours. Getting married can be pricey if you're doing so with a large guest count but I feel their cost is better or fair value as far as weddings go these days and they provide all the "bells and whistles" or upgrades for a reasonable fee making it affordable if you plan properly financially. Our wedding is happening in 3 weeks, so I will update post wedding bliss! read more

My fiancé and I are getting married on June 1, 2024 at Curtis Arboretum and we couldn't be more excited for our wedding day! Curtis Arboretum was the first venue we toured, and we were immediately taken with the lovely, lush grounds, gorgeous outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour areas, stunning clear top tent, and intricately detailed ballroom. With its elegant terraced gardens, stone patio, and ballroom, Curtis Arboretum feels European, a unique gem on the East Coast. We searched high and low for the perfect venue in the tri-state area, but ultimately couldn't find anything that comes close to the peaceful and joyful beauty of Curtis Arboretum. Besides the wonderful aesthetics of the venue, we chose Curtis Arboretum because of the venue's caterer, Jeffrey A Miller Catering. Each person we spoke and worked with thus far has been on top of their game - responsive, knowledgeable, and inspiring total confidence that our wedding day will go without a hitch. JAM provides the ultimate wedding day experience, taking care of everything we need from catering, linens, and planning, to providing great recommendations for other vendors. We couldn't be happier with our choice to get married at Curtis Arboretum and are eagerly awaiting our wedding day! read more

Last July we visited Curtis Arboretum, featuring JAMCatering and we immediately knew this was the place we wanted to celebrate our most special day! The gorgeous trees around the property and outdoor space gives such a charm of simple elegance and the indoor ballroom... speaks for itself. We cannot wait for our big day! The process of planning a wedding has been made all the more ~enjoyable~ with the lovely staff at JAM. From the delicious tasting, farm fresh ingredients, the planning sessions we've felt supported since Day One! Highly recommend checking out! Our tasting was like a simulated JAMCatering wedding. Cocktails, cocktail hour, passed hors d'oeveres, numerous stations including pasta station, paella station, Korean wok station, tomahawk steak station... sit doen family style served meal amidst different place setting, table covers, cutlery, CAKE TASTING, dessert stations... it really felt like a glimpse of what our big day would be like and it was so helpful in choosing options best for our party. THANK YOU JAMCatering!!! read more

My Fiancé and I searched high and low for the perfect venue in the PA/DE/MD area. We really wanted a venue that felt like a total experience for the evening. We certainly found that at Curtis Arboretum with the beautiful shady pergola for our ceremony, impressively manicured grounds for cocktail area, and spacious covered patio for dinner. Our favorite space is the indoor area for dancing-- completely refinished with hand painted murals, herringbone flooring and a gorgeous ceiling. Our wedding will not be for another 4 months but we've had a great experience with the Jeffery A Miller team so far. We are especially excited for the food on our wedding day because JAM places a huge emphasis on sourcing the best and freshest ingredients. They have what seems like unlimited options for food and drink. We are so excited to get married here! read more

We will be having our wedding at the Curtis Hall Arboretum in September and cannot wait! From our first tour of the venue, we were amazed by its elegance. With beautiful gardens and both indoor and outdoor spaces, we knew that this would be the perfect backdrop for our "Tuscan Garden" inspired wedding. The staff, all a part of Jeffrey A Miller Catering, have been a pleasure to work with. They were very up front and clear about the venue and packages available, and answered every question we've had along the way as we plan for our day. Jeffrey A Miller is associated with numerous venues, all of which are stunning, so even if the Curtis Hall Arboretum doesn't fit your vision, I would highly suggest looking into their other venues so that you'll still have the opportunity to work with such a professional and courteous company!! read more

Curtis Arboretum is everything we were looking for in our wedding venue!! I was amazed and in awe the first time we saw it in person, & continued to be every time we went back. From the ceremony space under the picturesque pergola, to the detail in the music hall ceiling, this venue is one of our dreams. I immediately loved how our day would flow perfectly, moving from the lawn ceremony area to cocktail hour in the garden, to dinner & dancing in the connected tent & hall. Not to mention the getting ready suites, and the entrance under the stage!!! Curtis has the whimsical garden feel we wanted, with classical, intricate, beautiful architecture that makes the whole area feel like a palace. This space truly is so unique & special for a wedding that we couldn't find anywhere else! read more

We cannot say enough amazing things about Michele Kuhl! From our very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, Michele was absolutely incredible. She is thorough, organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Thanks to Michele, our special day went off without a hitch. She thought of everything--things we never would have even considered--and handled each part of the planning and execution with such grace and professionalism. Her calming presence and clear communication kept us stress-free and confident every step of the way. Michele truly made our day unforgettable, and we feel so lucky to have had her by our side. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond to make your wedding perfect, Michele & Curtis are the ones! read more

My son and daughter-in-law got married at Curtis last weekend and it was absolutely wonderful! The grounds are beautiful and the interior of Curtis Hall for dancing is stunning. JAM Catering did an amazing job with the food. The real standout of the day was our wedding coordinator Michele Kuhl. She made the whole day (and day before) run so smoothly and she took such good care of the bride, groom and family. I would give her more stars if I could! I cannot thank her enough for providing a stress-free wedding day for all of us. read more

I am sooooo excited to have my wedding at the Curtis Arboretum this year! The outdoor environment for ceremony and cocktail hour is serene and relaxing. This element combined with the hand painted walls and intricate ceilings of the ballroom perfectly match my planned aesthetic for "modern bohemian chic." I can't wait for my guests to enjoy all of the same things I love about the venue and more especially thanks to the attentiveness of the venue coordinator working so closely with me and my family. read more
