Barn at Bournelyf: A West Chester Venue Review | Alexandria Catherine Events

The Barn at Bournelyf, tucked back in the heart of West Chester, PA will surprise you. A 1700s Pennsylvania bank barn was modernized just enough to maintain it's rustic charm, while the adjacent Manor House has a way of making you feel at home. 

On-Site Ceremony?: Yes. Primarily a ceremony location, Barn at Bournelyf hosts a variety of options for you to consider for the big day. The Barn itself, the courtyard out back, down by the pond... the options are truly limitless. 

Catering?: Bring your own. The venue itself does not have an in-house caterer, but will certainly provide recommendations. 

Parking: Ample parking available on-site. 

Available spaces?: The Barn at Bournelyf offers a variety of locations for ceremony, pre-ceremony prep, photo opportunities and intimate ceremonies/receptions.

Event Types: Ceremonies (of all sizes - there's even a Grotto that is ideal for up to 8 people!), intimate receptions, holiday parties, etc. 

Getting Ready On-Site?: Yes. The Barn offers a space adjacent to the Sanctuary for the groom and groomsmen to prep while the Manor House' second floor has two dressing rooms and a full bath. Need more space? Feel free to use the Manor House' lower level Parlor as well. 

Vibe: Rustic. Barn at Bournelyf was once a farm, and not much has changed. The grounds are still sprawling, the barn is still charming and the Manor House is still inviting. 

Perks: The venue allows you to book their Manor House for pre-ceremony prep even if you aren't getting married there and their Church Sanctuary is non-denominational so regardless of religion, you could still have a church wedding if you desire.
