Senior Event Manager | Terrain Events

ABOUT US

Founded in 2008, terrain transforms the local garden center into a celebration of nature. Our flagship location in Glen Mills aimed to create an immersive natural experience and an environment where customers could come to unwind, explore, and celebrate occasions big and small. It was here that Terrain Cafe grew naturally from a small cafe to a full-service restaurant serving brunch and dinner. The success of both the retail store and cafe was a catalyst to build an inclusive private events venue on the property for our customers: Terrain at Styer’s.

Following the success of our Terrain at Styer's property, we opened Terrain Gardens at Devon Yard in 2018. In the summer of 2023, Terrain Gardens at DelVal opened in Doylestown, PA, situated on the campus of Delaware Valley University. Our locations offer an expansive garden retreat that beautifully pairs indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for weddings and all of life’s biggest moments.

At terrain, love is love. We welcome, embrace, and support all who are considering our venue for their dream celebration. Terrain Events proudly mirrors the commitment of our parent company, URBN, in that we pledge to inspire a curious, empathetic, trusting, diverse, and inclusive community in the field and at the home office of URBN.
