We loved Bartram's!

Kelly, Chris and the whole Jamie Hollander team were excellent throughout planning and the day of our wedding. Kelly was prompt, professional and helpful with all communication and decision making leading up to the wedding. Kelly and Chris both went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly during the wedding weekend as well. Along with the rest of the staff, they took stress out of the event and clearly cared very much about our experience. They take a lot of pride in their work and we are very grateful for them.

The venue was also fantastic. We got incredibly lucky with weather in the middle of August (mid 70s), but even if it had been hotter, we would have had a great time with relief from the heat under the tent. If Bartram's is within your budget, I would highly recommend it!

Wonderful wedding experience with Bartram's and Jamie Hollander!

My husband and I were just married at Bartram's Garden this past Saturday and we truly couldn't have been happier with our experience. We worked with Kate and Kelly throughout the entire process and they were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. Not to mention, we moved out of Philly during our wedding planning and they were so flexible about scheduling the tasting and final venue walkthrough since we had to travel from so far away.

On our wedding day, we did not have to worry about a thing and were able to be present in the moment and celebrate with our friends and family. We were also told many, many times during the wedding and the following day that the food was delicious and that the staff was so welcoming and hospitable - this certainly contributed to how perfect our wedding day turned out to be. Highly recommend this venue!

Thank you, Kate, Kelly, and the entire Bartram's/Jamie Hollander staff for making our wedding a night we will never forget.

Hidden Gem

We looked at dozens of venues in PA and New England before we settled on Bartram's. In terms of beauty and value, nowhere else could compete. It's also a unique venue. Many of our guests who are long-time Philadelphia residents had never been there -- most likely because of the location. However, don't let that stop you. Everyone was absolutely blown away by our secret garden oasis. Our guests loved exploring the grounds and getting into the history of the place. The team at Jamie Hollander was also so great to work with and really delivered the day of our wedding. The food was plentiful and delicious, I did not stress about timeline or coordination once, and the service was A+. We had multiple guests tell us how great their server was at dinner, which I think is pretty special. They know the space inside and out and can execute weddings flawlessly, which is one of the biggest benefits of going with this venue. We also can't thank our event planner Kelly enough. She really brought every single one of our wishes and dreams to life.
