The Arches - Coatesville, Pennsylvania

Our experience at The Arches for my daughter's wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the venue’s stunning architecture. The Arches is an old cathedral that has been lovingly renovated into a wedding venue, and it retains all of its historic charm. The intricate stained glass windows, soaring arched beams, and gorgeous stonework created the most breathtaking and romantic atmosphere for the big day.

What truly sets The Arches apart, though, is the care and dedication of the owner, Jane. She went above and beyond at every turn, ensuring that every detail was perfect and that we felt supported throughout the planning process. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched.

One moment that really stood out was when a snowstorm was forecasted just days before the wedding. Naturally, we were stressed about how this would affect our guests, but Jane immediately stepped in to help. She not only coordinated with a local hotel to secure discounted rates for our guests but also arranged transportation options to ensure everyone could attend safely. It was an incredible relief to have someone so thoughtful and proactive on our side.
Thanks to The Arches and Jane, my daughter’s wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be and more. The guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue’s timeless beauty and warm ambiance (even with the snow), and we’ll always remember how special they made this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. If you’re looking for a wedding venue with breathtaking beauty, rich history, and unmatched service, The Arches is the place to go—it’s truly exceptional!

Just book it!! Don’t think twice. The Arches was the first venue I saw online during my search - immediately we knew the search was over. I even said that in my first message to Jane, and let me just start by saying I absolutely DID NOT regret NOT looking any further. From the story behind the beautiful church and rectory building next door, all of the amazing details inside, the gorgeous dark brown arches inside and gorgeous lanterns hanging - not to mention the original stunning gold organ on one of the balconies. This space can be transformed into absolutely anything and will be breathtaking. Not only is the venue amazing but the venue coordinators, Jane & her husband Larry, they go above and beyond. From our first tour, meeting them both, they were absolutely a plus to booking the venue. They immediately made us feel like family and I couldn’t thank them more for everything. I could go on and on and on about The Arches and Jane & Larry, but just please go find out for yourself!! I promise you won’t regret it. Love love love this place, the people, and will forever be back for our anniversaries ❤️

Had our wedding ceremony and reception here in early November, and I wouldn’t change it for the world! Jane was extremely helpful throughout, and when she couldn’t show up, her husband Larry sure did! Love these two, and we love the venue. If you want to have an event at a beautiful location with people helping you as if it’s their own event, don’t hesitate to choose The Arches.

We had just gotten married at The Arches and it couldn’t have gone any better. The Arches is simply a breathtaking place. If you’re looking for a something traditional with a modern twist, this is the venue to have your event. Jane and Larry were such a great help, and so understanding. Jane made sure I had the time I needed and she went above and beyond for my now husband and I. We are very thankful and blessed to have found this venue.

We had our wedding ceremony here on July 6, 2024! It was absolutely everything we had dreamed and hoped for. The only regret we have is not having our reception here as well, but our reception hall was gifted to us which was a blessing as well. The Arches is absolutely beautiful for any event. There is so much space to add any decor that you like and even without any decor it is beautiful. Our guest loved it here. The bride and groom suites are amazing adding more convenience to be able to get ready on site. Jane and Larry are very kind, helpful, and just all around amazing. They were quick to respond to any messages regarding questions or concerns that we had. Some of my family came up from down south and they wanted to see the venue and they allowed us to come in anytime as long as there wasn’t an event currently going on. They allow you to pick your own vendors also. They do have recommendations on vendors that you could choose just ask them!! If you’re looking for an affordable and absolutely beautiful place to hold your event, The Arches will not disappoint!! Thank you Jane and Larry for everything and for all of your help with making our day perfect❤️

We got married here on 11.16.2024 and had the most amazing time. We fell in love this venue and are so lucky we got to get married here and work with Jane and Larry. They are the most amazing and kind people and helped us with all things regarding the venue and more!! We could not recommend this venue more!!

Midway Arches was the ideal wedding venue for someone who wanted a beautiful place to get married but did not have the budget for crazy expensive. The DIY factor of the venue meant that my (now) husband and I could find a cheaper caterer to fit our budget and still get the elegance of this beautiful site. Jane and Larry are saints they were always available for questions and they are the reason our day went so smoothly! 10/10 recommend Arches for any event!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Arches in October and we would recommend it to anyone who is planning a wedding! This venue is so beautiful and it was so convenient to be able to have the ceremony and reception at the same place. And the bridal suite is amazing! The owners Jane and Larry are super sweet and were ready to help in any way they could. We are extremely pleased with The Arches and we are so glad we chose this venue for our wedding.
