Best Wedding Venue on the water


We got married at the Corinthian Yacht Club this past June and it was absolutely spectacular! We absolutely loved this venue! We were searching for a venue that was entirely on the water but intimate as well and this was the only one we came across. I strongly believe you won’t find anything like it. All of our guests were blown away. The mansion itself is so beautiful and there are a million spots to take amazing photos. We loved this venue and had no regrets. Meg the event coordinator was super friendly ,very responsive ,and was there to help with every detail! She & her staff were an absolute delight to work with! It took away so much stress knowing they had everything under control. I can’t begin to describe how accommodating they were. We were thrilled with our choice to go with The Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia. Definitely book this place for your wedding you won't regret it! I’d give them 10 stars if I could!

Absolutely Amazing!!

Due to covid we had to reschedule my wedding 3 times. Meg was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make me feel calm and comfortable throughout the whole process. We finally got married on Oct 22, 2021. Everything was beautiful, the food was great, and they treat you like family. I highly recommend!!

Wedding on May 29th

My wedding was at the Corinthian Yacht Club on May 29, 2021. Cannot rave enough about the venue (spectacular views), food was delicious and best of all dealing with Danielle who was professional but friendly and down to earth and was diligent with answering all my questions and taking care of every detail promptly. Jim and I are very happy we chose the Corinthian Yacht Club for our wedding. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Awesome

2020 wedding moved to 2021 and we were forced to change our venue because of Covid. The Corninthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia made all the hectic changes so much easier and stepped up to provided a perfect outdoor option with so much flexibility. And the inside is fabulous as well. The views are gorgeous, the sunset is perfect and I can't begin to say enough about their coordinator. She talked me off many a ledge and made every single thing run perfectly. I showed up from the church to an absolutely beautiful reception that was perfectly laid out, perfectly timed and as my daughter said, it provided her the "best day of her life". The banquet staff provided delicious food and worked with me on my changes I needed up to the last minute. They could not have been more accommodating. And so incredibly affordable. I only have one daughter, but if my husband isn't careful I'll have my second wedding there ;)

Beautiful venue for an outdoor wedding!

After we had to cancel our original wedding plans b/c of COVID, we found Corinthian and it was exactly what we were looking for! The water and sunset provided a beautiful backdrop, and there was plenty of space for people to spread out and feel comfortable. Meg was amazing to work with - super accommodating and flexible, and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process (especially since we rescheduled everything in about a month!). We had an awesome experience and would definitely recommend this venue!

Beautiful venue!

Due to the circumstances of 2020, we were pretty much forced out of our original wedding date and venue. We found the Corinthian Yacht Club and immediately decided to change everything to have our wedding here.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. I loved that we were able to use the whole property for our guests to enjoy. Everything was perfect.

Meg was so helpful from beginning to end. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was so easy to work with! She took so much stress off of me and made the day absolutely amazing.

I’m so glad we decided to replan our wedding and have it at the yacht club, would definitely recommend!

Our DREAM wedding!

As soon we saw this outdoor space (way back in 2018), we knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding! Danielle effectively communicated, quickly responded, and answered all questions. She even allowed us to visit the venue multiple times! 2020-the year we have been looking forward to- became worse than any “wedding nightmare” I have had. Our date was postponed. Danielle genuinely cared for us and gave us the hope to keep planning for the new date! Normal wedding planning was accompanied with COVID requirements and additional worries. The staff at the CYC had everything on their end organized and planned to move forward. I cannot thank the staff enough for all the work they put in to make our day perfect! Everyone loved the food and raved over the views all night long! Our families and friends said that night was exactly what they needed during these crazy times. Thank you CYC for allowing us to have our DREAM wedding!!

amazing experience

I am in the process of planning my wedding at the Corinthian Yacht Club. The sales rep Meg has helped me so much with any questions I've had and responding almost immediately. She also has allowed me to stop by whenever to show my family members the place! couldn't ask for a better person helping me with my big day

Absolutely beautiful!

I can't say enough about how perfect this wedding venue and staff are! Danielle and Greg were absolutely amazing to work with - so friendly and down to earth, very organized and prepared for any question or concern you might have. They did just about everything for us and made the day totally stress free! The venue itself was absolutely beautiful! The view by the river made for the perfect ceremony and the sunset could be seen from inside during dinner and it was just spectacular. The food was delicious, the wait staff was incredibly nice... I could go on and on. The best decision of our wedding, by far!
