The Arches accommodates up to 180 guests, and couples have a full day to celebrate. Its welcoming atmosphere allows couples, hosts and guests to feel relaxed, comfortable and completely at home

The Suites
The two private getting-ready suites at The Arches 600 in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, offer six unhurried hours for hair and makeup, relaxing, photos, and time with loved ones before the ceremony. Filled with natural light, both suites give couples, wedding parties, and wedding photographers the comfortable, welcoming, at-home feeling The Arches is known for.
The house suite features a full kitchen, butler’s pantry, wraparound porch, and sliding doors that create beautiful opportunities for first looks, first touches, and dress reveals. It also offers easy access to Chestnut Gardens and Diamond Gardens for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours.
