You Will Be Amazed!

My husband and I had an exceptional experience with The Merion when we held our wedding reception here in April 2022. Our coordinator Calli did an outstanding job with making sure everything ran smoothly for our special day. The food, service, and amenities were all top notch. Over a year later, our friends and relatives still talk about the fantastic cuisine, the beautiful Skylight Ballroom, and all the fun. We had the perfect wedding reception thanks to The Merion and their amazing staff.

Dream Wedding

I got married Oct. 7 and The Merion provided me with the wedding of my dreams! Holly, Nick, and all the staff were amazing! Holly made the entire year of planning smooth. Day of the wedding, none of the staff allowed me to stress! They were so accommodating that one of biggest compliments I received is how kind the staff was to my guests. I wish I could get married again just to experience the fun all over again at The Merion.

A Wonderful Partnership for our Gala

We had a wonderful experience at The Merion for our largest fundraiser held annually. This was the first time we held this event at The Merion and it went off seamlessly. Our Merion contact was Stephanie and she was phenomenal with handling our event with the details and accommodations needed to support us. Her partnership in the planning was so helpful and things ran so smoothly because of her taking into account our needs and constantly following up with us. Our Executive Team received countless amounts of compliments on the venue, the variety of the delicious food and the staff. Thank you for partnering with us for a successful event and we hope for many more!

Dream wedding!

From the moment I attended a wedding at the Merion, I knew this is where I wanted mine to be. From our initial meeting and tour to the numerous connections and events such as bridal shows and venue showcases, the Merion team was AMAZING to work with! Shout out to Holly and Chelsea for being the best dynamic duo to help plan and coordinate our wedding. The cocktail hour offerings alone made us say yes at first but all the food was DELICIOUS. The timing of service was incredible and all of the picture spots were magical. I wish I could do it all over again!!!

My perfect Wedding

Wow is all I can say about The Merion. I hired the Merion for my wedding and the way they coordinated everything was so professional and made my wedding planning process so stress free. I am so happy I decided to choose them as my venue. Literally nothing went wrong that day because of their professionalism. They gave me the option to use two ballrooms, one for my ceremony and the other for my reception. It made it so much easier for my vendors. Definitely consider The Merion for any big event that you are planning.

Best place to get married by a landslide

This is the best place to get married. My friends and family were blown away by the beauty, service, and food. I would highly recommend. Oh and I can go on ll day about their main representative Holly. My wedding was awesome because of her. I picked this place because of her warmth when I came for a tour as well. Do yourself a favor and have your wedding here!!

A Dream Come True

The Merion was the SECOND place we looked when searching for a venue for our wedding. I was immediately captures by the beauty and regality of the Skylight room and our search was over in one day! Holly was our Event Specialist and she was friendly from the start. I appreciate how she was always available to answer my questions any time of day or night. She even laughed at my corny jokes. She kept by our side during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and was so accommodating – helping us get food, drinks, and keeping our wedding party in check. Our server Maria and Maître d Scott were also wonderful, attentive, friendly, and fun to be around. The food was AMAZING and everyone kept telling how us this was the ‘best wedding ever’ all thanks to the staff at the Merion. They even had a couple of surprises throughout the night. Overall, the Merion made us feel so special, and made every dream we had for our wedding come true. THANK YOU to everyone who made my dreams since I was a kid possible – we are forever grateful and can’t wait to renew our vows at the Merion in 20 years!

Cindy Patrick Photography, Inc. Cindy Patrick Photography, Inc. Wedding Photographers

The Merion is one of my most absolute favorite venues to photograph a wedding! Their Skylight Ballroom is magnificent, but every room has its own grandeur and style! The staff is super courteous and friendly -- not just to the bride and groom and their guests, but to the vendors (like me:) as well, and this is most appreciated! I always feel at home when I'm there for an event, and you will too! You cannot go wrong with The Merion. Fabulous food, fantastic staff, and photogenic grounds. What more could you ask for? Nothing! They are the best in the area!
