We loved hosting our wedding at Fonthill Castle. Our guests really enjoyed taking
the museum tour during our cocktail hour and couldn't stop talking about how
unique the venue was. We were thrilled to get married at such a historical and
cultural landmark…it will be a great story to tell our children one day!
Casey
Fran and Cathy made the wedding prep easy. They are so friendly and truly care
to make it the best day ever. And it was. The serving staff worked their butts off.
No one wanted for anything. Thr entire Memorable Affairs experience was
amazing.
Stephanie
We had a fantastic day!! The staff was very helpful, and attended to us the whole
night. All of our guests enjoyed the venue, and are still talking about it!!!!
Awesome place for a wedding!!!!
Shannon
This was the only venue we looked at. As soon as we got one glimpse of the
grounds and Castle I was sold! Our wedding day was simply stunning! We loved
every minute of our day! Our guests had a great time. Everyone thought it was
beautiful! Memorable Affairs is their exclusive caterer, who were amazing. Fran
with memorable affairs took care of everything for our day and made sure we
stayed on schedule! She was fantastic and we can't say enough about how much
we appreciated her.
Jessica
Everyone is still talking about the wedding! The food was exceptional; it was
fresh and there was so much of it. Fran was awesome and very professional
which made my part as a bride very easy. You guys made the process very easy,
very affordable, and stress free! Honestly thank you for making our day
incredible!!
Lara
This was my son's wedding. The staff went above and beyond, the food was
wonderful and the grounds beautiful. Cathy was great to work with, very
knowledgeable and helpful. Fran made sure everything went smoothly. Couldn't
have asked for more.

My husband and I got engaged in September 2010. We had originally planned to
get married in October 2012, but started researching venues anyway. We were
looking for someplace where we could have an outdoor ceremony and reception,
which wasn't easy to find. After a few months of internet searches, we found
Memorable Affairs and Fonthill Castle Estate. We went to an open house in
February 2011, and knew right away that this was our ideal venue. Pat from
Memorable Affairs was hosting the event and totally won us over (which wasn't
hard!). It was exactly what we wanted and we booked it immediately for August
2011.
I spoke with Cathy most frequently - she was incredibly wonderful and helpful. I
didn't experience any of the drama that most of my friends have experienced
while planning their weddings. Unfortunately, the weekend we picked was the
same weekend Hurricane Irene decided to hit the New Jersey/Pennsylvania area
and we were forced to reschedule for October. This is where Memorable Affairs
really stepped up to help us. As the new RSVPs trickled in slowly, Cathy
remained helpful, flexible, and positive the whole time - which was especially
awesome considering some people didn't respond until two days before our new
date. She was completely awesome and understanding the whole time.
When our wedding day finally arrived, everything was so perfect and amazing.
Fran kept everything running beautifully and smoothly the whole night. My
husband and I were free to enjoy our night completely stress-free. The food was
DELICIOUS - which is a big deal since we're both incredibly picky eaters. I
usually find chicken and cake to be too dry, and the vegetarian meals too salty.
Not so with Memorable Affairs. Everything was fresh, moist, and expertly
seasoned. We chose the chocolate chip pound cake for our wedding cake - it
was amazing. We ate left overs for a week!
I recommend this place to EVERYONE.
Jamie
This is a WAY overdue review, but felt I should still submit one. Jack and Cathy
were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made every step of the process as
easy as possible, and they work with wonderful vendors (DJs, officiants,
photographers, florists, etc.). My husband and I (and our families) could not have
asked for a more perfect day. Three years later and we STILL hear from our
friends and family how wonderful the wedding was, and how it was the best
wedding they've ever attended. After attending multiple weddings since our own,
I have to agree :) Beautiful grounds, delicious food, first class service. I could not

1225 W. Street Rd, Warminster, PA 18974 - Five Ponds Golf Club - 215-674-1047
have pictured our wedding anywhere else but Fonthill. I wish we could do it
again!
Amanda
The entire staff was amazing, not to mention the food was top shelf. Best day of
my life!
Terrence
From the first contact to our wedding date, Jack, Cathy, and the Memorable
Affairs team were the height of responsiveness, professionalism, class, and good
taste. I work full time and live a 6 hour drive from Doylestown, and they were
incredibly responsive and flexible in arranging meeting times. I preferred to do
most of my communication via email, and always got a response within 1 day often within 1 hour, and they were able to answer every question and grant any
request we had. I was never made to feel that my endless questions were
annoying or stupid.
Most importantly the days leading up to our big day and the wedding day itself
were flawless. Everything was exactly as it was meant to be, and better, and they
easily handled any last minute requests. The wedding party had our own
attendant, and she was relaxed, friendly, and professional. I can not say enough
about the quality of our wedding at Fonthill with Memorable Affairs. Their history
in the business and excellent reputation equal an unforgettable wedding day, and
a worry-free bride and groom.
Wedding: 09/04/2009
Amanda
Memorable Affairs did a great job in catering for our wedding at Fonthill castle.
Fran did an amazing job with coordinating the whole event....from the ceremony
to the dinner to the bouquet toss. The food was great, the venue was awesome
and the service was 5 stars! Thank you Memorable Affairs!

removed to the parking lot. Parking in front of the buildings is reserved for disabled guests. Neither

Bands and DJs are limited to outdoor events. Fonthill is in a residential area, and amplified music
levels are subject to the discretion of Memorable Affairs and/or Fonthill Museum in accordance with
Township Ordinances. Township Ordinance states maximum permissible sound-pressure levels for
smooth and continuous noise shall be no louder than 55 decibels at the property line. No noise from
recordings, loudspeakers or public address systems shall be allowed which interferes with the
reasonable enjoyment of adjacent residential properties.
Decorating
A written decorating plan must be submitted to the MA approval 60 days prior to event with a $250
security deposit. Decorations may not be affixed to chairs, walls, ceilings, flooring, doors or windows.
Candles are permitted on event tables only, provided they are covered with glass globes.
BALLOONS (some exceptions), BUBBLES, RICE, CONFETTI, GLITTER, FLOWER PETALS,
FEATHERS, PYROTECHNICS, ETC. are prohibited.
Artifacts
No collection items including tiles and furniture may be touched or moved without the permissions of
museum staff. The host should inform their guests to please refrain from touching, sitting on, or
otherwise disturbing artifacts in the museum. Host will be held responsible for damages.
Tours
Self-Guided tours of the ground floor of Fonthill are available after the Museum closes, from 5:15pm
until 6:15pm. A $350.00 fee, in addition to other rental fees is charged. Food and Beverages are not
permitted in the Museum.
Grounds
The facility rental does not include exclusive use of the surrounding grounds. It is understood that the
grounds are offered on an “as is” basis. Periodic maintenance may alter the aesthetics of Fonthill.
Please inquire about scheduled restoration projects.
Membership
The facilities of the Fonthill Museum are available for rental to individual and corporate members of
the Bucks County Historical Society. Your rental fee includes an individual membership which is valid
for one year commencing with the date of your event. (Membership will be issued to the person listed
below)
Are you currently a member of the BCHS? _______Yes _______No
Tenting
In the event there are back-to-back events, it is not possible to effect an overnight change of some
equipment, especially tenting, restroom trailers or Port a Johns. In this case, the event with the
largest tent will prevail – if you have smaller tenting requirements you will benefit from the use of the
larger tent at no additional charge. (You will only pay for the smaller size).
Credit Cards
Payments are subject to a 3% convenience fee and are not accepted for final payment. (Prior
calendar year deposits excluded)
Personal Items
We cannot assume responsibility for damages or loss of any merchandise or articles left in the facility
prior to, during or following your function. Neither Fonthill nor Memorable Affairs, Inc. are responsible
for damages, theft, etc. We are not monitoring parking areas or warranting that we are doing so.
Due to limited storage space, we must limit the dropping off of personal belongings to two (2) cartons
prior to the day of your event. This may include place cards, party favors (within reason), guest book,
toasting glasses, cake knife and server. You can bring these items to our office in Hartsville. Let us
know if you have special needs.
Conduct
Children under the age of 18 must be directly and constantly supervised by a parent.
Place Cards
Please deliver the cards to Memorable Affairs in alphabetical order. If you have a split entrée menu,
guests’ menu selection must be noted on the seating chart.
Split Menus
We must know how many of each entree will be served at each table. Choice of Entrée and Seating
Chart Form must be filled out and returned to us 2 weeks prior. Please indicate meal choices by
using color-coded dots on the back of the place cards so that our servers know what each guest is
eating. The following color-codes should be used: Yellow=chicken, Red=beef, Blue=fish,
Excellence since 1989 - www.memorableaffairs.com
1225 W. Street Rd, Warminster, PA 18974 - Five Ponds Golf Club - 215-674-1047
Green=vegetarian. Even when all these procedures are carefully followed, there can be
complications. Guests may switch seats at the same table, cards might get inadvertently moved, or
guests may change their minds and want a different entree than what they originally ordered. We
caution you that having a choice of entree may cause slower service than we usually provide and that
you may want.
Duet Entrees
You may opt for a duet entree, which features a 1/2 portion of two entree items on the same plate (for
example, a 1/2 portion of fish and a 1/2 portion of beef, including one sauce that complements both).
Vegetables and starches to accompany the entree should also be appropriate for both.
Preferred Vendors We have a referral list available to you, which includes the names of many professionals who have
worked with Memorable Affairs. Although you are not required to use these individuals, we highly
recommend them. However, if you choose to use vendors not on the preferred list, you are
responsible for providing proof of insurance and vendor forms. Failure to comply with this rule will
result in vendor being refused access to the property.
Every unique location has its own idiosyncrasies. The professionals we refer have worked many
events at our locations, and they understand the light, acoustics, layout, etc. of the house. If you are
planning to use a professional who has not worked at our site before, we strongly urge that they
schedule a time to see the site where they will be working.
Non- Preferred
If you have hired a professional not on the list, they must have liability insurance and provide proof 60
days prior to your event. Further, you will need to provide them with a copy of our rules and
regulations, which must be signed by them. Send Proof of Liability Insurance to Memorable Affairs,
Inc., 1225 W. Street Rd, Warminster, 18974 in the amount of $1,000,000 60 days prior to your event.
It is your responsibility to get these forms to us from your vendors. Vendors on our Preferred List
have already complied with the above requirements. Bride and Groom are responsible for collecting
and forwarding all insurance certs together to MA offices.
Rehearsals
You may schedule a rehearsal at a time prior to your wedding so long as it does not interfere with
another event taking place. Further, rehearsals may need to be rescheduled if another social or
corporate event books for the same time period. There is a charge of $200.00 per hour for rehearsals.
The actual rehearsal will probably take less than 1 hour. Please help us by keeping your bridal party
and others focused on the task at hand. Otherwise, your rehearsal may end up costing more than you
had anticipated. Alcohol prohibited
Due Dates
60 days prior to your wedding
Contact us to finalize your menu and linen choices if you have not already done so. Your final walkthru cannot be scheduled until menu is final. Vendor Information Forms must be completed by each
of your vendors along with a Certificate of Insurance (unless they are on our preferred list).
30 days prior to your wedding
Schedule your walk-thru with Cathy. Final count and final payment are due via cashiers check, wire transfer
or cash. Get started on the seating chart!

Failure to submit your final seating chart 10 days prior to your wedding will default all linen colors to
ivory.

Bring us your favors and name cards. We must limit the dropping off of personal belongings to
two (2) cartons prior to the day of your event. This may include place cards, party favors (within
reason), guest book, toasting glasses, cake knife and server. You can bring these items to our office
in Hartsville. Let us know if you have special needs.
I understand the above provisions and agree to abide by them. Furthermore, I agree to abide by any policy decisions
regarding misconduct, handling artifacts, smoking or alcohol, or weather-related changes reached by Fonthill Museum or
Memorable Affairs Catering staff. Deposits are non-refundable, and will be forfeited if I cancel this date for any
reason. I understand that other events may be scheduled up until 1 hour prior my rental.
