Excellent! Brendan is phenomenal.

BRENDAN DAVIDSON IS PERFECT! He did everything A-Z great. He made sure we are not worried about anything. Everyone had fun.
He knows what he is doing, very professional and responsive.
Our wedding was in May 28th, 2022.

Amazing!! Would give 10 stars if I could!! :)

Wow. I don't even have the words to describe how happy we are that we chose to go with the DoubleTree in Center City. Nevermind the ideal location and hospitality of the hotel itself, BRENDAN DAVIDSON IS AMAZING. He will bring all your wedding dreams to life, trust me!

We had our wedding on New Year's Eve this past year, and wanted a one-stop-shop location for ceremony and reception, as well as accommodations, so our guests wouldn't have to worry about driving anywhere. And being right along the Mummers Parade route on New Year's Day was a fabulous bonus.

Brendan and the team at the DoubleTree helped us with planning from day 1 providing expert recommendations and guidance, but we always felt like we were in the driver's seat. The result was a truly perfect wedding that we will remember for the rest of our lives. PLEASE take it from us and at least reach out to have a conversation with Brendan, you absolutely won't regret it.

Amazing experience!

As we were venue shopping, we walked into the DoubleTree and were absolutely sold on the mezzanine loft area for our not so traditional wedding/reception. We wanted a private ceremony but hired the DoubleTree for our reception. As time went on in the planning process, we were more and more impressed by the staff, the food selection, the lodging and more! Brendan Davidson was the catering manager we worked with and he was a phenomenal partner to us from day one until the big day! Wedding planning and coordinating is not an easy process and he made it so effortless for us, coordinated with our vendors, and didn’t have us lift a finger the weekend/day of the wedding. We were just stunned by how everything turned out, especially the event space the night of the wedding. It was so beautiful and exceeded our expectations. This venue is truly a hidden gem in Philadelphia and perfect for a center city wedding! THANK YOU!

Great Job!

The wedding planning team lead by Brendan Davidson did a great job for the wedding. They were very customer focused and did everything they could to make the event a success. Couldn't speak anymore highly of them.

We decided to pick the DoubleTree right after meeting Brendan! He’s an amazing person, helped us immensely, and is super knowledgeable and helpful! If anything wasn’t exactly perfect he did everything he could to match our vision. The DoubleTree should be so grateful to have an employee like Brendan Davidson!

My husband and I got married at the DoubleTree on August 19, 2017. It was the best day of our lives and we have Brendan Davidson and the staff at the DoubleTree to thank for hosting the best cocktail hour and reception that we could have ever asked for.

Throughout the venue searching and wedding planning process, Brendan exuded professionalism, hard work and dedication. He made wedding planning feel easy and fun. Anytime we had questions, concerns, or just wanted to check in, Brendan was responsive and thorough.

On the day of our wedding, my husband and I both got ready at the DoubleTree. The staff at the DoubleTree, especially Julie, Palmer and Donita, made sure that we had everything we needed leading up to our ceremony. They fulfilled every request and were always willing to help.

Our cocktail hour was a big hit with the DoubleTree atrium as a stunning backdrop. Chef Cory and his team prepared delicious appetizers, salads, steaks, salmon, and vegetarian dishes. We received so many complements on the food that was served at our wedding! The Symphony Ballroom sparkled from corner to corner with beautifully set tables and a sparkly new dance floor. Brendan made sure that every detail was executed how we wanted. We have no doubt that Brendan is one of the best in the business and we are so glad that we chose the DoubleTree by Hilton Center City Philadelphia as our wedding venue. We would highly recommend working with Brendan and this venue to anyone!

My wedding was perfect! We had it in the Ormandy Ballroom which is street level. Brendan Davidson is who you want to book with 1000%. I came to him with a low budget, and he found a way to make it work! I know without a doubt Brendan is the reason my wedding was as amazing as it was. He truly went to bat for me to make my fairytale wedding happen with my blue collar budget. He and the entire hotel staff were so friendly and accommodating. Not to mention unjudgemental. (Purple hair tattooed bride here). I would've been lost without him. He truly made my wedding a breeze. During planning my dad died and my mom went into hospice. Brendan made sure I didn't have to lift a finger. He is friendly, eager to help and FUN! Seriously LOOK NO FURTHER Double Tree Broad St and Brendan D is the guy for you!!!

Brendan and his team are AMAZING. We owe our wedding "success" to them! They were so helpful the entire time from planning to the day of. Before we could even voice a question or concern, it was already taken care of! It was just such a streamline and seamless process - we were so lucky to have Brendan and team! They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went without any issues - from beginning to end. If you're looking to get married in Philadelphia, this is your place!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
