The Germantown Cricket Club (GCC) gave us a fantastic experience. I wanted my wedding to be a night where our guests had good food, drinks, and music. I wanted a party to remember, and GCC happily provided that experience. From the beginning, they were very helpful. We selected the premier package with a few additions. Let me tell you, our guests are still raving about their experience at GCC. Here is the long and short of it all: Planning: They took excellent care of/with me, answered all my questions, and provided timelines and a day-of-event checklist. This process kept me on schedule. Menu Selections: They helped me create my food vision for both the cocktail reception and dinner. All were a hit with our guests. Wedding Events: We choose to have our wedding on site, followed by our cocktail reception and then dinner and dancing. All in one place, and it moved smoothly. Logistics: Rehearsal went well. Abigail and her team were present and worked well with us. They also worked well with our day of event coordinator. Other vendors: They worked well with other vendors and accommodated site visits for all of them. Other accommodations: they have a really cool groomsman and bridal suite. Ambiance and Atmosphere: I had an evening wedding in the winter. The space offers its own beautiful backdrops inside, and outside seemed amazing as well. Parking: They have on-site parking. Dancing: As per my DJ, the ballroom has excellent acoustics (design-wise). Bar: Bar service was terrific, and the selections, mixed drinks, etc, were great. The bottom line is that GCC provides you with all you could want in one spot. Worries about your ceremony space, reception, food, and drinks are not a factor when working with them. For me, this was a huge relief.

My husband and I had the most magical wedding day at the Germantown Cricket Club. It truly feels like a hidden gem in Philly! The classic, historic vibe was perfect for my wedding vision, and Janet was amazing to work with - a true professional! Every step of the planning process was smooth. Janet answered all the questions that my mom and I had very quickly during our 12 month planning timeline. She gave GREAT advice and guidance and it's clear that she loves what she does and is very good at it. She and the GCC staff were also great about letting us come by and check out the place (renovations were being done in 2021 and 2022) whenever we wanted to stop by.

A few highlights are below:
-The outdoor ceremony space was beautiful! The landscaping was perfect for our October wedding, and we actually were able to save money on ceremony florals since there were beautiful flowers all around the pergola.
-The ballroom was gorgeous! We loved the balcony, the new chandeliers, and most of all the big stage which was perfect for our band! Our guests danced the night away. We also loved the slighty separate bar area, where we had our photobooth and space for folks to hang and chat if they wanted a break from the dance floor. I never actually went to the bar because my personal attendant was always ready to hand me a drink, but I heard from guests that the bartenders were great.
-The food was delicious! Guests were raving about our cocktail hour appetizers (especially the bacon wrapped dates) and the entrees were large and yummy. We heard positive reviews about all our plated entrees, which included the short ribs, herb and parmesan chicken, and butternut squash ravioli.
-The all-inclusive pricing made wedding planning SO easy. I can't imagine having to deal with different vendors to handle catering, chairs/furniture, serveware, cake, etc. It was also easy to calculate up front what our costs would be.
-The staff were excellent. I was treated like a princess all day, and everyone from the personal attendant to the waiters and bartenders were great.
-Janet was flexible throughout the process - the week before the wedding I had some fluctuation in my guest list, and Janet was so helpful in giving me more time and not charging us for seats that would be empty. She also allowed us to come in the day before the wedding to set up our own DIY table centerpieces and decor, which was greatly appreciated and preventing us from having to hire someone to do it!

All in all, I highly recommend the Cricket Club. It was a great experience and an excellent value compared to other venues that I researched and toured.

Gorgeous space, accommodating staff, excellent value!!
