History

Manayunk Brewery is a venue steeped in local history. This building was constructed in 1822 by Ann Dawson. In 1912, the Krook family purchased the site, converting it to a woolen mill. The business continued until 1992, when the Krooks sold the building to Harry Renner IV. Harry had a vision for the building, and it entered a new chapter as a retail space, a brewery, and an event space. A new family tradition began when his daughter took over in 2004, ready to host stylish weddings for couples in the Keystone State.

The most special wedding venue

We want to share every detail we can about MBC, because every moment matters and we want others to know just how unbelievable this venue is. Deyna, the venue coordinator, is equally as exceptional.

From our first meeting, we loved the character of the space, and loved that it was "different" from a typical wedding venue. If you like hardwood flooring, exposed brick, and beautiful lighting on the ceilings (first caught my eye, and they delivered) this venue is for you. Manayunk is so quaint and beautiful (with many amazing photo spots built in!) and we had so much fun during our trips to the venue simply because of that. There are quite a few convenient hotels within 10 minutes away, and a hair salon directly next to the venue (which Deyna recommended, and we used!)

It is also a restaurant, and our guests raved about the food all night. The chef is literally a master of his craft. We are currently begging Deyna to add one of the dishes to the restaurant menu. They were incredible with our guests' dietary restrictions and took them very seriously. Regarding alcohol, it is a brewery but has a full bar with beer on tap.

We simply do not know where to begin with how incredible Deyna is. My dad has been a wedding photographer for over 30 years, and has worked with many MANY coordinators. Deyna is literally the best (he said it). She is kind, passionate, funny, knowledgeable, witty, COOL, helpful, HONEST, and has a solution every. Single. Time. She is a problem solver if I've ever seen one. She makes you feel like nothing will go wrong, and with her helping you, it literally won't. She is such a special person.

The day of-- my day began in the bridal suite, which is very spacious, welcoming, and beautiful. In walking distance, couples portraits began with very cool photos on the railroad tracks and there is a ton of greenery/awesome photo ops right around the venue. We had our ketubah signing in the bridal suite as well, which became a holding area of sorts/a place for everyone (and their stuff) to relax etc.

MBC's staff is friendly, skilled, and freaking on it. This venue is incredible at what they do and so organized without seeming calculated or like we were "just another wedding." The setup, from start to finish, is so well designed for a wedding and creates the perfect template to make the wedding of your dreams. You can make it your own, and they will guide you every single step of the way. We have endless gratitude for this venue, and because it is a restaurant, we will come back for special occasions/anniversaries for years to come. It was worth every single penny (I promise).

Wedding Manayunk Brewery 10/17/25

We couldn’t have imagined a more amazing experience than the one we had at Manayunk Brewing Company for our wedding just recently on 10/17/25! From start to finish, everything was beyond our expectations. The venue itself is stunning, modern yet cozy, with a flexible space that fit our vision perfectly. Our guests commented on how comfortable and beautiful the setting was. The food was absolutely delicious, every course was spot on, from the appetizers to the main dishes. They also accommodated any allergies perfectly.

But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Deyna, the venue coordinator. She was the heart and soul of our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she kept everything organized, on track, and stress-free. Her attention to detail, quick communication, and calm professionalism made planning so easy, and on the night of the wedding, she was everywhere at once, making sure everything ran seamlessly. Honestly, the venue would be lost without her!

Would highly recommend Manayunk Brewing Co to anyone planning their wedding!

Manayunk Brewing Company: A Special and Magical Place

My husband and I had our wedding here in late October 2025, and if we could only describe our experience with one word, it would be this: MAGICAL. Before talking about the food and venue space (both of which are amazing), we wanted to first mention the Manayunk Brewing Company's (MBC) coordinator: Deyna. There is simply no one like her. She is an absolute gem and is a dream to work with. She is responsive, attentive, caring, funny, intelligent, resourceful, and honest- all the qualities you could hope for in someone helping you plan your wedding. She made planning a wedding not just stress-free, but (dare I say it) FUN. Working with her was a highlight of the whole wedding experience and we feel so blessed and lucky to have had her by our side throughout the planning process and guiding us through the day of the wedding.

We had been searching throughout Philadelphia for a venue that would give us everything we wanted- one location for the ceremony and reception, good food, and fun ambiance all at a reasonable price, and MBC gave us all of that and more. The event space is the perfect combination of industrial modern and rustic and needs very little in way of decor to make it the relaxed yet upscale backdrop we wanted for our wedding. The outdoor patio overlooks the Schuylkill River with beautiful foliage and an architecturally stunning bridge where we took some of our day-of wedding photos.

The food and drinks were simply delicious. We were thoroughly impressed during our tasting, and many of our guests commented on how it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted. Cocktail hour featured delectable passed hor d'oeuvres (short rib tacos and scallops were a highlight). Plated entrees were served efficiently and again were absolutely phenomenal. MBC even has the option of bringing in a s'mores bar, which we ultimately opted to do and was such a fun and unique alternative to cake that so many of our guests enjoyed. The bartenders were efficient and the drinks never stopped flowing, particularly our signature cocktails. The staff all worked extremely hard and made the event run seamlessly. We so appreciated their efforts to make our day feel special.

We could not be happier with our decision to hold the most important day of our lives (so far) at MBC. We will cherish the memories for a lifetime and if we were to do it all again we would choose MBC a thousand times over!

Wedding 9/6/2025

Shane and I had our wedding this past weekend at the brewery and hands down, from booking to celebration, was the best experience. Deyna runs an amazing team and ensured that our celebration was flawless and stress free. Our guests couldn’t believe how friendly the staff was. The food was 12/10 and tasted even better on the day of the wedding than at the tasting. The brewery provided vendor lists which we used and had the absolute best experience using their recommendations. The venue was so flexible when it came to all details allowing customizable event. Communication, organization and great customer service.

June Wedding at MBC

My husband and I got married at Manayunk Brewing Company on 6/14/25 and loved it! They have an amazing team that made the day superb! The communication from the day we booked until the wedding day was clear and each response was punctual. They were clear in all of their pricing and it was easy to book what we wanted throughout the entire process. Deyna especially went above and beyond for us multiple times during planning and on the wedding day itself!

On the day of the wedding, the food was all delicious. It was hard to decide which Hors D'oeuvres to select because there were so many great options to choose from (there are also plenty of vegetarian options). Our guests really raved about the food! We also had an open bar and there was very little wait time on getting a drink. We booked the outside deck which was a nice place to cool off from dancing or go get a drink from the second bar. We also brought games outside for people who didn’t want to dance all night.

We used the bridal suite on site and it was very helpful. It came with food, prosecco, and a personal server. The girls and I had a great time! Getting ready at the venue made the timeline much more relaxed for the day and we weren’t cramped in a hotel room for the morning.

Parking in the area can be a little difficult but there are options. You can try for free street parking or one of the two lots next to the building. We used a shuttle for guests that stayed at our hotel block and had absolutely no issues.

If you are going to be getting pictures in the area, you may need to be creative. We used the railroad tracks that run next to the canal. Otherwise you may need to go elsewhere depending on your vision. I love how our pictures turned out for our first look but it was a bit stressful ahead of time to find somewhere that fit our vision.

Overall we HIGHLY recommend Manayunk Brewing Company and their team!

Best day ever

We initially reached out to Manayunk Brewing Company because a friend recommended it to us. We were unsure since it was such an unconventional venue, but after we met Deyna and she took us around on tour, we were pretty sold, especially seeing the pretty deck outside overlooking the Schuylkill River. We did a few more venue tours afterwards to be sure, but decided to move forward with Manayunk. The entire process was pretty seamless. I was really nervous about planning the wedding, as I'm not administratively strong, but Deyna assured us, we would be okay, and indeed we were. She gave us a breakdown of costs, timeline for logistics, and really, a boost of confidence that I needed to know I was in good hands. She worked really well with our vendors, and our planner, and honestly, rooted so much for us as a couple. We could tell she really loves love and genuinely enjoys what she does. Our tasting with Chef was so memorable too- we had a blast figuring out the hors d'Oeuvres and main meal. Our guests really loved the food the day of, but most of all, we loved it. The day couldn't have gone any better. People told me to brace myself for something to go wrong, and I'm sure it did behind the scenes, but I was blissfully unaware as I had an amazing team troubleshooting and taking care of the issues. I really just got to enjoy the day. It truly was a day to remember and wouldn't have done it any other way. I 1000% recommend this venue to all my future brides-to-be!

Fantastic venue

Our wedding at Manayunk Brewing Company was beyond our wildest dreams. Deyna helped us plan our wedding in 8 months, and every detail was absolutely perfect! You would have thought we had been planning the wedding for years! Deyna is such an incredible coordinator handling every single detail along the way. She coordinated with all the vendors, handled our DJ canceling at the last minute, and catered to all of our special requests with ease. The wait staff is absolutely amazing and attentive, making the best night of our lives spectacular! Weeks later, and we are still receiving raving reviews from guests about the food, the drinks, the remarkable staff, and the attention to detail that went into every aspect of our night. We had the best time of our lives, and we can't thank Deyna and the staff enough. Not only did they make sure every single person was attended to the whole night, but our guests all rave that it was the best wedding they've ever been to! We highly recommend Manayunk Brewing Company to help make all your dreams come true.

Time of our lives

My husband and I eloped abroad, and decided to have our reception at Manayunk Brewery, and wow was that the best decision we could have made. From Day 1, Deyna and Paris caught our vibe immediately and ensured we wouldn't have to worry about a single detail. The drinks/cocktails, food (all prepared by an inhouse chef!!!), curated space, outdoor patio, and communication throughout the entire process made our experienced totally unmatched. Thank you Manayunk Brewery for an unforgettable night! Thank you Deyna and Paris!
