Highly recommend!

We could not be happier with the service we received from the staff at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern during our wedding weekend. Cynthia was very professional and friendly and helped us to set up the hotel block, as well as our after party. It was a pleasure working with her. Samantha worked very hard with great professionalism and courtesy as well to assist with our bookings. During the stressful experience of planning a wedding, it was a great relief to work with such professional and nice people for our hotel block. Our guests all loved the accommodations and hotel bar.

Phenomenal Service and Accommodating

We decided to have our ceremony and reception at the Desmond, because many of our guests would be coming from out of town. The entire staff, from the event coordinator to the restaurant manager to hotel services were absolutely wonderful. Everyone at the Desmond took their time to ensure our day was spectacular. We received so many compliments from our guests about the hotel and the event. You really cannot go wrong with the Desmond!

The best full experience wedding venue

The Desmond was an AMAZING venue!!! We were so fortunate to have stumbled upon this location and the spaces inside. The conservatory space makes it look like you are somewhere far away from Malvern, PA and is perfect for photos. Every staff member was so warm and welcoming and truly helped curate a great environment. Kevin, our primary contact and planner, was fun and personable and made the process so easy! This venue includes flowers and wedding cake which takes out a lot of stress. It was a dream to have the ceremony, reception, and after party all in one spot with great food, great vibes, and a beautiful space. I would recommend The Desmond to anyone.
