What if choosing the ideal venue to tie the knot was as effortless as falling for your perfect match? When couples say I do at Malvern’s full-service hotel and wedding destination, the Desmond Hotel, every last element is handled with impeccable care and detail in one all-inclusive setting.
Whether this means cocktails under the starlit conservatory dome, an opulent ballroom reception, a first dance on the deck amidst a canopy of glowing string lights, or better yet, all of the above, a Desmond Wedding is whatever newly engaged couples can dream up. It’s the promise that this award-winning, family-run hotel has made to its guests over the last 30 years.
“No two weddings are alike here, with personal wedding specialists who cater to every couple’s unique tastes, themes, and traditions-in-the-making,” says Kevin Kessler, Director of Sales. Some couples arrive with a meticulously curated vision for their big day, while others happily let our onsite wedding planners guide them with an endless supply of crowd-pleasing creativity.
Their commitment to bespoke experiences and touches attracts couples from all over the Main Line and Philadelphia suburbs and beyond seeking a sophisticated, timeless event without letting the exciting-yet-time-consuming tasks of wedding planning overtake their busy lives. Linens and table centerpieces, menu sampling, one-of-a-kind wedding cakes, getting ready rooms, newlywed suites, and other details aren’t add-on expenses but essential elements included with the Desmond Wedding package.
“This way, our newlyweds can be fully present in the moment and celebrate with friends and family, who also appreciate the ease of having everything in one convenient location, from our luxurious accommodations to the couple’s rehearsal dinner, family photoshoot, the ceremony and reception, after party, bon voyage brunch, and everything in between,” Kessler says, adding that eliminating the hassles of driving and shuttling, especially between multiple locations, is something guests of all ages welcome.
Because there’s a picturesque backdrop, both indoors and out, for clients to choose from, a Desmond wedding can feel like a destination wedding all on its own – one where each location is just steps away from the next. This could include summer sunset nuptials, cocktails in the conservatory, a colorful Fall photoshoot, plus music and dancing on the outdoor deck.
“We pride ourselves on treating our guests like family, a quality that sets us apart from other wedding venues and is at the heart of our popularity,” Kessler says. “We tell our couples that a Desmond Wedding is their blank canvas. We help bring their dream wedding to life, offering the sophistication of a luxurious venue.”
Recently honored as the #1 DoubleTree in the USA and #4 worldwide (Q3-2024 Hilton Make it Right Award) and honored as The Best Wedding Venue on the Main Line (2024 Award: Main Line Today Magazine), The Desmond stands apart. You can feel the difference the moment you walk through the doors. This family-focused hotel and wedding venue takes great pride in offering inclusive packages designed for busy couples who want a truly stress-free wedding weekend, where they can toast to their new lives together. And these exceptional offerings are here to stay, extending far into the future.
