Hadley’s Bat Mitzvah

We hosted our daughter’s bat mitzvah at Platform 30 on Saturday night and we could not have asked for a better experience. The staff was attentive and organized and made sure that everything was executed exactly as we wanted! Lisa and Lisa were fabulous and helped every step of the way!! We highly recommend this venue for your next event!

Beyond accommodating!!!

I can't say enough about the Lisa's, kevin, tim, and everyone else that worked hard to make our entire process seamless and amazing. Not only are they lgbtqia+ friendly, and LGBT owned/operated, but they are the most responsive, fairly priced, all inclusive venue you could dream to work with!

Dream Wedding

My son and daughter-in-law were married on 5/31/24 at Platform Thirty in Manyunk. It was a perfect day, from gorgeous weather to the most intimate, comfortable and historic feeling venue. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by their pleasant staff, who were busily at work arranging all the details. It was teamwork at its finest and the end result was a stunning room awaiting family and friends, gathered together to express their love for a beautiful couple. The cocktail hour as well as the meal, especially the short ribs were superb. People are still raving about them! Everyone did a wonderful job making the happy couple’s dream wedding come true. Thank you all. Bobby, thanks for allowing us to sample your bartending skills!

Amazing food and overall experience.

Getting married at Platform Thirty was the BEST decision we ever could have made. The Lisa's (you will work with 2 of them) made us feel so comfortable and stress free; from contract modifications to food choices to placement of all our decor. They executed a vision we didn't even know we had. Additionally, all out guests raved about the delicious food!!! I would go back to Platform Thirty hands down, for any event!

Everything You Need in One Place!

This venue was perfect for our brunch wedding! It was great to have all of our needs in one package (food, linens, parking, cake, etc.) but if there was anything that we envisioned that wasn't on the list, Platform Thirty was able to provide it or send us in the right direction. We wanted to add lounge seating so they set us up with their vendor and the process was seamless. The included valet parking was a huge perk for guests. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! We even added sushi to the menu and the guests raved about it. I really liked this venue because we didn't have to add much for decor, just small touches with no fuss. This was definitely the perfect place for our wedding.

Simply perfect!

The staff was incredible! Absolutely amazing night!!! From the very beginning of planning to the end of our wedding day they were extremely diligent with making sure we were covered.

We were provided with most of what was needed for the wedding which made planning easy for the decor that was added.

I really can’t put into words how happy we are. That was the most important day of our lives and they made sure we had memories to last a life time. Thank you over and over. We will surely be sending out an amazing review and telling everyone we know to book with you!

A Magical Spot in Manayunk!

Our Platform Thirty wedding experience was a delight! The Lisas (Lisa G and Lisa W) made sure that we were loved and cared for from the start of our planning journey. They responded to emails efficiently and were able to find answers to all of our questions. The venue suited our needs perfectly and is so lovely inside that you don't even need to think about wedding decor because it really does speak for itself. The included uplighting and pin spots enhanced the natural beauty of the setting. Our bartenders were amazing. Our waitstaff was wonderful. Valet parking made it convenient for our guests to drive if they wished but the location on the train is helpful too! They also provided so many options for us to enhance our wedding experience with vendor recommendations. We were able to have indoor fireworks/sparklers as a surprise! They had a great alcoholic beverage program as well as many options for providing enhancements to your guests. There is a spacious bridal suite as well as an area for their partner. Lisa Gratzinger is professional and makes you feel that your wedding experience is special and important. Our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere. They made it seamless for things that you're looking for in your wedding packages. We're really happy that we chose Platform Thirty for our day and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and affordable wedding venue in Philadelphia!

Best NYE Ever!

Platform Thirty went above and beyond to make our New Years Eve wedding absolutely amazing. The team blew us away and our guests had a great time! From cocktail hour, to a balloon drop at midnight, to the mini cheesesteak bar at the end of the night - we couldn't have asked for more!
