Hello!
Would you consider us a top ten? Please take a look at our unique special occasion rental venues via our website: http://www.bhwp.org/plan-your-visit/Facility-Rentals.htm
Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve is located along River Road in Bucks County. We are on State Park grounds, where alcohol is prohibited, so often wedding ceremonies take place here, nearby caterers/facilites provide the receptions. Frenchtown is often recommended to our visitors! Our Gazebo & Moore Pavilion provide scenic outdoor (yet covered) sites for get-togethers!
Have a look, I can send additional photos if you would like to see more.
Thanks very much,
Joyce Burian
