The Inn at Centre Park

The Inn at Centre Park is a mansion wedding venue and bed and breakfast in Reading, Pennsylvania. It sits in the middle of the Centre Park Historic District. The house was built in the mid-1870s and was renovated in the 1880s and 1890s by a paint manufacturer, Charles Wilhelm.

The design is Victorian-inspired, with dark wood fixtures, chandeliers and furniture from the era.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

The inn is listed as LGBTQ+-owned. For same-sex and nonbinary couples, an intimate historic house can feel like a very personal choice, and it helps to know that the owners come from the community.

A bed and breakfast also keeps the focus on hospitality. Your wedding party and guests can stay in the same building, which gives the weekend a calm, shared feel. It is a strong fit for couples who love historic architecture and want a small, cozy celebration.

What the venue offers

The venue offers indoor and outdoor sites for both the ceremony and the reception. The first floor of the mansion can hold a ceremony and cocktail reception for up to 100 guests. It has Victorian architecture, dark wood and chandeliers, and the natural light gives guests plenty of photo opportunities.

Outdoor celebrations use the sweeping porch and the stone exterior of the house.

Overnight rooms are available for the wedding party and guests. The rooms have natural light and Victorian furniture, and the profile describes them as luxurious while keeping the cozy feel of a bed and breakfast.

The inn is a good choice for couples drawn to the Victorian era or to history in general. The central location in Reading also makes it easy for guests to find.

Because the inn is a bed and breakfast, it suits couples who prefer a smaller guest list and a more personal weekend. You can plan the ceremony, the cocktail reception and overnight stays in one building. When you contact the team, ask about room availability, how the first floor is arranged for your guest count and how outdoor space is used in different weather. A visit lets you see the Victorian rooms and the porch for yourself.
