Weddings at St. Philip’s

If you’ve always dreamed of a country wedding in the Episcopal tradition, St. Philip’s may be the right place for you.

St. Philip’s is located just outside New Hope borough in the heart of Bucks County. Our church building is a simple stone structure built in the early 1800s as a one-room schoolhouse. While the building has been modified to suit the needs of a faith community, it has retained its simplicity and charm.

Our space is perfect for an intimate gathering. We can comfortably seat about 70 people. We have a beautiful Steinway piano available for your use. Our patio, gardens and labyrinth provide a lovely setting for photographs and quiet reflection.

Our rector is authorized to perform weddings by both the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. All couples are welcome to celebrate the sacrament of marriage at St. Philip’s. Father Michael also performs commitment ceremonies.
