About Us
Portico is an enchanting venue at a Victorian mansion in Philadelphia.
Portico sits within the extraordinary 55-acre Awbury Arboretum in the historic Germantown neighborhood of Northwest Philadelphia. Once the private enclave of an extended Quaker family, the Arboretum is a green oasis in a densely-populated urban environment with the Francis Cope House as its centerpiece.
The property is part of a Quaker community imbued with the ideals of simplicity and integrity. The venue’s capacity is 175 with outdoor dining in a white tent and use of the house with its Portico and surrounding landscape.
