THE ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Restored to its 1930’s grandeur, the Abraham Lincoln boasts a stunning lobby with grand palladium windows, robust columns and elegant mezzanine areas. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration, an intimate gathering, a personalized encore wedding, or renewing your vows, celebrate with Abraham Lincoln Events for your dream ceremony and reception. Select an intimate salon for around 40 guests, a larger, classic venue for around 100 guests, or the Presidential Ballroom for a grand celebration with up to 300 guests; all exquisite, romantic and ready for your finishing touches.

The Abraham Lincoln opened its doors on May 23, 1930 and the building continues to provide a stunning historic background for your special event.

The GEORGE BAER CHAPEL

Newly acquired and renovated, the George Baer Chapel may be a new venue to Abraham Lincoln Events but it is one of the oldest wedding venues in Berks County.

Originally built in 1855 with a massive, no-expense-spared renovation in 1892 paid for by Reading Railroad president, its namesake; George Baer. The Chapel features stunning stained glass windows from Bavaria and the finest craftsmanship from Europe and North America throughout the structure. The current church owners have partnered with the Abraham Lincoln Events staff to help restore this great space and make it available for events and special occasions of any type.
