Book it ASAP!

Franklin Commons went above and beyond any expectations we had for our wedding day. Firstly, it’s such a gorgeous and spacious venue for an extremely reasonable price. Upon first walk-through, we knew it was the spot for us in terms of how much space, food, service you get for the price. There are so many unique touches of the venue, from the courtyard to the rustic nature of the bistro, to my favorite part: the reception room. The windows are epic and made for such gorgeous photos around sundown.

Secondly, the team of Hannah and Kim couldn’t have been more communicative and professional throughout our process. Hannah is an absolute rockstar, and we owe so much of the day’s success to her attention to detail. The servers and waitstaff were also sooo attentive to us throughout the entire night. I can’t say enough about this venue and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Franklin Commons is forever cemented in our hearts!

Best Venue Ever!!!

We hosted our daughters wedding at Franklin Commons. I can't say enough about this experience. It started with our initial meeting with Kim, who made us feel so comfortable with her expertise and experience in the wedding industry. The venue space was unique, had so many things included-like beautiful tables, chairs, linens, spaces for cocktail area as well as an outdoor space for a ceremony. Working with Kim & Hannah was amazing. Communication was well received and questions answered within hours. These two ladies helped my daughters vision for her wedding come to life without missing a beat. Additionally the food-Was plentiful, hot & delicious. The presentation was beautiful as well. The servers were eager, kind, pleasant & on point throughout the night. Our daughter and her husband had their own point person who made sure they had everything they needed throughout the reception. He paid attention to every detail, including each of their favorite drinks. The bartending service was excellent and guests were served with efficiency and ease. Our guests went out of their way to tell us how excellent the food and service was at this event. Honestly there is nothing I would have changed for this event & my daughter and her husband agree. Don't hesitate to use this venue for your wedding. You will be happy you did so and walk away feeling like you hit the jackpot!!

Such an amazing experience at Franklin Commons

We had such a positive experience at Franklin Commons. Kim and Hannah were so attentive to us leading up to and on the day of. Looking back there is nothing I would change. I had SOO many compliments on the food especially the appetizer hour. The cake provided by Brooklyn Girl bakery was beautiful and delicious. Also if you can upgrade for the espresso martinis during the dessert portion absolutely do it ! We were able to get some great photos, especially out in the courtyard area. I am so happy with our decision to have our wedding at Franklin Commons and I'm sure you will be too!

Overall amazing

My husband and I could not have picked a better spot for our October 2023 wedding. We went into wedding planning knowing that we wanted a venue that was “different”. We did not want the farm/barn look or any farmhouse vibe. We walked into Franklin Commons and fell in love. The industrial but yet rustic vibe was perfect. We cannot put into words our gratitude towards the entire staff leading up to the wedding and the day of . Kim and Hannah are truly superstars and make you feel like family. The entire Drexelbrook staff that helped the night of the wedding did an amazing job! They made us feel so important and solved anything we needed in a matter of seconds. Our guests still are raving about the food and atmosphere. The ceremony space outside is intimate and beautiful with so much room for creativity. Hands down the best experience with a venue !

Wonderful experience at Franklin Commons!

We booked Franklin Commons for our wedding in September 2023. We could not be happier with our wedding experience. The venue is beautiful and has an industrial charm that we did not see any where else, and the courtyard was the perfect space for our ceremony. Kim and Hannah made coordinating with the venue and our vendors extremely easy. We would highly recommend hosting an event at Franklin Commons!

An amazing, unique venue!

Picking Franklin Commons as our venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We wanted a unique venue with industrial flair in the Philly suburbs. Franklin Commons was the first venue we toured and we immediately knew it was the one. First, Kim is absolutely amazing. From our first meeting all the way through to the end of the wedding, she was on top of every single detail. She is organized, kind, and really makes you feel special as a couple to be part of the Franklin Commons/Drexelbrook family. The package they offer covers just about anything and has a lot of customization options. There are multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, providing peace of mind that there are options for a rain plan. Our guests raved about the hors d'oeuvres, food, and desserts they had, how cool the space was, and how awesome the staff was. I could go on and on about all the fantastic things about this venue. It is a really special place and played a significant role in making our day as perfect as it was.

Highly Recommend

Our wedding day was like a dream...and we owe so much of that to the Drexelbrook team at Franklin Commons! We knew we were in good hands the second we met Kim, and she did not disappoint. The staff was so accommodating with EVERY request we had through the planning process & on the wedding day. The food was DELISH, and our guests loved every single thing from the cocktail hour taco station, to the entrees! We DIY'ed a ton of our decor and the staff took such great care locking it up the night before and making sure our appointed friends got the set up just right! We felt well taken care of from start to finish...plus the venue itself is unique, photogenic, and just so darn SPECIAL!! Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
