Tyler Arboretum
Media, Pennsylvania**Set among 650 acres of rolling meadows and pristine woodlands in Media, Pennsylvania, Tyler Arboretum offers a setting unparalleled for its natural beauty, historic charm, and true romance. Here, Mother Nature's talents set the stage for breathtaking weddings held amid butterfly-filled gardens, towering trees, fields of wildflowers, and centuries-old structures.
WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT TYLER HAS COMPLETED A $1.2 MILLION RENOVATION PROJECT INCLUDING RENOVATION OF OUR CIRCA1792 BARN AND NEW TENTS EQUIPPED WITH BISTRO LIGHTING AND FANS.
Tyler's collections provide exquisite backdrops every season of the year. In spring, the perfume of hundreds of lilacs, magnolias, and rhododendrons fill the air, while the herb-filled Fragrant Garden comes to life in the summer sunshine. By autumn, the turning leaves of centuries-old trees steal the show. The beauty continues into winter with the snow-laden branches of state-champion conifers and hollies.
Within the stone bank barn, circa 1834 and tenting over an adjacent patio, we can accommodate up to 200 guests which overlook a rolling valley of majestic trees and a babbling stream. Our newly renovated Barn can also accommodate up to 140 guests for dining. The porch and lawn of another historic structure, Lachford Hall, circa 1738, are ideal for ceremonies and cocktails. The Arboretum's many gardens and charming structures offer unlimited backdrops for photography.
Dating back to a 1681 land grant from William Penn, Tyler has remained an oasis of tranquility for centuries. Twenty miles of marked trails encourage visitors to explore one of the oldest and largest arboreta in the United States. This exceptional rustic Delaware County wedding venue is located only 30 minutes west of Philadelphia in an area offering several charming bed and breakfasts.

Reviews
We have hired JAM catering for our upcoming wedding at Tyler Arboretum in July of 2022. My fiance and I had never before experienced a JAM catered event, so we were very excited for the much-anticipated group tasting luncheon that JAM hosted. When the tasting finally arrived, we were blown away at the quantity and quality of all of the food that JAM provided. At the group tasting JAM provided a long list of culinary choices and experiences, from several of their most popular entrees to passed and stationary hor d'oeuvres and desserts, as well as a huge variety of stations including decadent paella stating, homemade soft pretzels, a gelato cart, and my personal favorite the made to order guac station. We enjoyed every bite of the food, and we left the tasting with happy bellies. I have a few food allergies, but JAM was diligent in providing many options for me despite my food limitations. We were also excited to learn more about JAM?s menu, as so much of it is ?farm-to-table? and based on more sustainable food options. It has been difficult to narrow down our wedding food options, because there are so many to choose from! The group tasting was not just about the food taste or visuals, but it also showcased the wonderful chefs and servers behind the JAM catering business, including Jeffery Miller, himself! The whole crew was working really hard, and they were all very personal. I got to meet some of the event planners and the team members who would be working our wedding at Tyler this summer. We truly enjoyed our experience at the tasting and it made us feel so grateful that we decided to go with JAM catering for our big day!

The staff at Tyler Arboretum and JAM Catering far exceeded our expectations. The day went so smoothly, the food was exceptional and the venue was absolutely stunning. Emily McFadden was fantastic and left me with absolutely nothing to worry about the day of. Our guests all raved about the food saying it was the best they have had at a wedding and are still talking about how beautiful the venue was. So thankful we choose Tyler for our special day!
