Ridgeland Mansion Open House

Open houses are just one fantastic way for event venues to display their space and its amenities to possible partners and clients. They are also an excellent means of fostering relationships with local vendors the venue has worked with or with whom they may work in the future.

Also, open houses are fun events for everyone who attends! Because every vendor who participates in an open house puts on their best show, there are tons of beautiful and interesting displays to explore.

The Ridgeland Mansion

The Philadelphia, PA Ridgeland Mansion was built in 1762 and sits on five acres of land in the center of Fairmount Park. This Federal-style mansion is painted yellow, with brick and cobblestone accents. It also has a large, rolling lawn and sunken garden, for those who prefer the outdoors.

Good for the Philadelphia Community

The Ridgeland Mansion is also now the home of the nonprofit the Suzanne Morgan Center. This nonprofit provides services and support to people with cancer and their loved ones. The venue fee for use of the Ridgeland Mansion even directly benefits the Cancer Support Community of Philadelphia. The Cancer Support Community of Philadelphia provides a free and professional program of education and emotional support to those whose lives have been affected by cancer.

The gorgeous, historic Ridgeland Mansion in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  recently hosted their own open house. They invited a variety of local vendors to display their best work.

Randi also teaches the Wedding Planning Certification program at Philadelphia’s Temple University.

J & J Studios loved this baby Yoda cake from Bredenbeck’s Bakery and Ice Cream Parlor. He almost looks real – especially for a little fictional alien character!

Look at the effect from Frost 321° making their goodies in this picture. It’s almost magical. We wish that treat was for us!

As they say, everything old is new again! This gorgeous gown from The Dress Matters reminds us of the fashions of the roaring 1920s. Its floral lace, dainty straps, and slim silhouette all contribute to that feeling.
