I could not recommend ONE North Broad enough to host your wedding. The venue was amazing and absolutely beautiful. Stephanie and Jhona couldn't have been helpful and supportive throughout the wedding planning process. The feedback from the guests was overwhelming positive and we have One North Broad to thank for that!

Morris Arboretum was an amazing and beautiful wedding venue. They worked with us every step of the way to make our day as special as possible. Luckily, we experienced great weather, but if we did not, they were ready to go with a back up plan. The Rose Garden was so beautiful for the ceremony and Out on a Limb was perfect for cocktail hour. We highly recommend using them as a venue. So amazing!!! Thank you Morris!

Knowlton Mansion was the best choice we made for our wedding celebration. We feel so grateful that my mom found this venue and we ran with it. We already had the best first impression and they did not disappoint until the very end. Everyone we talked to and worked with was so nice, accommodating, patient, and professional. From the very first person, Cara, who introduced us to the venue and the logistics, to Eileen the event manager, to Rebecca the day of manager, and the bridal attendant were all SO personable and supportive and focused on helping us fulfill our vision. We really appreciated how patient they were with us. Also would like to point out how easy it is to communicate with the team and have all of our questions answered throughout the entire process. Eileen was particularly so helpful and responsive ! They also kept us accountable with reasonable and very clear timelines. On the day of, Rebecca was so receptive and clear in that she is there to support us and answer any type of question ever. Ok and the FOOD was something else! All of our guests from different parts of our lives were similarly huge fans of the food and the portion. The hors d'oeuvres were such a hit and the entree was so good and great portions. They left feeling so full and satisifed which was so important to us. Knowlton Mansion was such an important factor to why our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We wish we could go back to this most perfect day.

We truly had the most amazing day ever—everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the moment we first met with the maitre’d, we knew our wedding would run seamlessly. The entire team at Union Trust is a well-oiled machine, and that confidence carried through the entire day. The staff on our wedding day were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making everything special. A huge shoutout to Micel, who was nothing short of incredible. She went above and beyond in every possible way—at one point even getting down on the floor to buckle my wedding shoes. She anticipated every need before I even had to ask. We truly couldn’t recommend this venue more. It exceeded every expectation, and if we could do it all over again next weekend, we absolutely would!

We toured Portico on a cold February afternoon for a September wedding and immediately fell in love with the space, even without it being fully in bloom! Fallyn helped us to see our vision at Portico and Steph (our coordinator) and the entire Peachtree team made it come to life. The venue itself is stunning- lush gardens, space for guests to move around, dinner under the stars, a dance floor that feels like your own house party. But, by far our favorite part of Portico was our experience with the Peachtree team. Fallyn was incredibly accommodating when we decided to increase our guest count. Steph was attentive to our needs, walked us through every option (sometimes several times), and made our day-of go off without a hitch. Even during their busiest season, Steph was responsive to emails and always had answers for us so we could continue our planning. 10000/10 recommend Portico and Peachtree for your garden fairytale wedding!!!

As soon as we walked into the Kimmel Center all the way back in 2018, I knew it was the place we had to get married. We scheduled to get married in 2020 and then covid hit. They were so lovely to work with. They made it easy to reschedule. If you see this venue be prepared to sign a contract, there’s nothing else like it in center city Philadelphia! 10/10 would recommend this stunner!

We had our dream fairy-tale garden wedding at Ridgeland Mansion last Saturday. We moved under the tent due to rain, and the backdrop of the grounds provided a beautiful setting for photos and for guests to walk around if desired during cocktail hour. The place settings and food were perfect for our guests, healthy and local with a lot of gluten-free, vegan options. Jenn was unparalleled in her kindness & responsiveness throughout the process. She made sure we ate and enjoyed on the day of, helping create an intimate, warm, magical evening that we'll never forget.

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, immediate, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is simply gorgeous, with a moody and sophisticated ambiance that made the wedding feel truly special. Ginger Metzger, our event coordinator, was amazing - she guided us every step of the way and was so quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. The College of Physicians of Philadelphia and Catering by Design exceeded our expectations and we're so grateful to have celebrated our daughter and son in law's special day in such a beautiful and well-run space. The food and service provided by Catering by Design exceeded our guests expectations as well as ours. Highly recommend!
