Platform Thirty at Beat Street Station Reviews

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!

Our celebration at Platform 30 was fabulous! The space was great. Our guests raved about the food and bar!

A perfect place to host a party!

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!

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!

We had our wedding at Playform 30 this October and we are so happy we chose Platform 30! The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, the venue was gorgeous! Everything ran smoothly on the day of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. No complaints about Platform 30 and I highly highly recommend booking here.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

Absolutely spectacular, couldn't ask for a better place to celebrate our union with friends and family. I would definitely highly recommend Platform Thirty over and over again.

Platform Thirty was the ultimate wedding venue for us. They had historical charm, modern design, and delicious food. Both the Lisa’s took care of us from start to finish, and we felt taken care of every step of the way. We had so many people telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and it wouldn’t be possible with Platform Thirty.

We had the most amazing time. We couldn’t thank them enough. From both Lisa’s to the catering staff. Everything turned out perfect. The food was delicious and the drinks were flowing. I am so happy we chose Platform Thirty and their team for our wedding.

Working with the team at Platform 30 was great. Everyone on staff was exceptional and welcoming. They were accommodating to all our requests and dealt with difficult mothers with grace.

I'M STILL ON CLOUD 9!!!!! Platform Thirty... where to even begin!! We were looking for a place to celebrate our vow renewal and happened to come across this GEM. We chose Platform for several reasons: Its UNIQUENESS, their ability to accommodate of a small, intimate guest list (75), the opportunity to have a brunch celebration (OMG!!), and finally, the package deal - literally (catering services, bakery, valet parking, vendors, etc)!
Lisa W & Lisa G, went above and beyond to help make our day so perfect. We were very overwhelmed approaching this event. These wonderful Ladies made the process seamless! They were quick to respond to every email and text message. They made everything so EASY. They went beyond their responsibilities and then some. The wedding itself ran so smoothly. The food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about it nearly a week later. The server staff were incredible. They took excellent care of us and our guests. I still can't get over Platform's beauty. I would recommend this venue over and over and over and over again. If you are looking for a place that will give you and your guests an unforgettable memory, this is it! Say YES to Platform Thirty. I promise, you will NOT regret it!

Platform Thirty was the perfect venue for my wedding vision. I've never been a church or ballroom/banquet hall kind of gal. PF30 was perfection: modern, industrial, intimate. Both of The Lisas (that's what I call them :) are fantastic! I worked with Lisa W at the beginning of my planning journey: venue walk through and booking. I worked very closely with Lisa G throughout the entirety of my planning process. She was super responsive to my never ending list of questions/concerns and helped with my vision. She was incredibly instrumental during my rehearsal--asking the right questions, corralling our wedding party, giving us "an experience." I can't praise her, the PF30 staff, and the contracted catering company enough! They did a phenomenal job. I would choose PF30 over and over again. You can't go wrong with this venue and its staff. Choose wisely :)

Our original wedding plans for 10/15/21 were almost cancelled due to Hurricane Ida damaging our first venue. Less than three weeks before the wedding, we were without a location and with pure chance we were able to find Platform Thirty. Not only were they available on our day, but they were in the same town as our original venue, so NOTHING else had to be changed!

Beyond the luck we had with finding this location, the two Lisa's are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! They went above and beyond to help make our special day absolutely perfect. Their attention to detail and making sure everything went as planned was exactly what we needed. I was able to walk into Platform Thirty the day of the wedding and I didn't have to answer a single question, search for a vendor, or worry about a single thing because these ladies had my back and executed everything perfectly.

The servers and bartenders was some of the most attentive staff I've ever seen. During dinner, they were everywhere...dropping food off in a timely manner, checking on our guests, even going to the bar and refilling drink orders. The food was also delicious (I highly recommend the brisket mac and cheese and bacon wrapped scallops for cocktail hour!)

There was no shortage of compliments that our guests gave to all staff at Platform Thirty...in fact they are still raving about it two weeks later. I truly believe that everything happened for a reason and that we were meant to have our event here. If you are starting your search for an industrial/modern feel then look no further...an added bonus, they are connected to the Manayunk Train Station and our best pictures were captured on there during our first look and when a few trains came by!

Platform Thirty was the perfect venue for my wedding. I wanted a cozy and unique venue for my dream wedding but was so lost when I was starting to look. All the venues I had previously made visits to had somethings that I was not happy with...untill I went to go visit Platform Thirty. The historical building was PERFECT in size and style for my wedding of 120 guests. I loved the unique industrial look the space had, but it also catered to the cozy vibe that I was going for. Not to mention that the space itself is right next to the train tracks that are perfect for wedding day photos!

Lisa and the rest of the crew were also SO amazing. Lisa catered to all my questions and needs to prevent me from turning into bridezilla :) She never failed to catch any details in which I would have missed when trying to plan for the perfect day. Any time of day, whenever I had a question or in need of clarification, or even just guidance in general, Lisa was only a call/email away and answered my questions and concerns with such warmth and professionalism. 98% of my guests were Korean which means I could not let the day go by without having Soju at the wedding. I asked Lisa if we could work something out to have Soju at the open bar, and she said "YEAH WHY NOT!" She even went as far as going out to try out the soju herself (to which she said she loved it!) Lisa turned my small question/suggestion into a reality which I am so thankful for.

The professionalism and passion from the team at Platform Thirty made my wedding as beautiful and smooth as can be. The perfect ceremony, reception, food, drinks, and all the good vibes in general are the outcome of the team at Platform Thirty.

Thank you

My husband and I hosted our wedding at Platform Thirty at Beat Street Station and it was a memorable and beautiful event. From the beginning we knew we were in good hands when we met Sales Manager, Lisa Webb, for a private showing of the space. Lisa is down to earth, professional and knowledgeable about the packages Platform Thirty has to offer. Once we agreed to book, Lisa gave us a list of suggested vendors and party enhancements which was spot-on and saved us the hassle of going through unnecessary research of our own.
The space itself has an overall industrial design with a touch of Art Deco flair and the size was perfectly suited for our wedding party, which included 95 guests. We appreciated that Platform Thirty is setup for hosting only one event at a time and also this venue offers door to door valet service, with the cars driven to a secure off-site parking lot.
At this point we were then handed over to Lisa Gratzinger who handled the actual planning of our wedding and reception. Lisa is detail-oriented, accommodating and filled with creative ideas. She listened to what we wanted and communicated with her team all of the special touches my husband and I requested.
On the day of our wedding, Marc and Jeremiah went above and beyond to make sure everything ran as smooth as possible. Jeremiah did a great job executing our setup and Marc was the perfect on-site coordinator, with his good nature and know-how. He had everyone smiling and at the same time kept our event moving along in a comfortable manner.
These are the type of people you want to handle your special event and as a result our guests raved about the venue and service. Also the food* and drinks were outstanding! And it is for these reasons I recommend Platform Thirty at Beat Street Station.
*We booked with the suggested vendor, Catering by Mario’s, for whom I also wrote a review.

From our 1st visit until walking out the door after our daughters wedding, Lisa Gratzinger and her staff provided a level of attention and service that was truly exceptional! The venue is unique and was perfect for our daughter and all our guest. The food provided by Mario was excellent and we received many compliments about all of it from appetizers thru deserts. The level of service the staff provided was outstanding and again we received so many compliments from our guests about the attention they received from the entire staff.
We would highly recommend Platform 30 as a wedding venue. You will be delighted and impressed from beginning to end.
Thanks again to Lisa and the entire staff for making our daughters wedding everything she dreamed of.

Though this was not the venue my fiancé and I decided to book, it came in a super close second. Firstly, it was a really unique location, being an old train station. It had a mix of modern decor with some old fashioned feel. The bridal party suite is huge and there is even an upstairs loft area overlooking the main reception space that can be used for whatever you want! We met Lisa who was the nicest person ever! She was so enthusiastic and explained so much that we hardly had questions because she went over everything! She was easy to communicate with and if you’re looking for a unique venue, this is your spot.

My husband and I were married this past November at Platform Thirty. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Lisa Webb, Lisa Gratzinger and Marc. I could not rave about those three any more. Amazing, attentive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Catering by Marios was unbelievable. Our guests raved about the venue and food.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for a truly amazing night.

Amanda & Sean

They did not just provide a venue, they worked to make a experience, all of my guest were all smiles and so was the staff, they set a tone for the event that could not be faked, When leave my guest were asking if the venue was a club they could come back too!!!

I just wanted to reach out and say, I will recommend your venue to everyone that will listen. I had the honor of attending the 40th birthday party on this past Friday. It was truly awesome! I'm not talking about the decor or the guests, but the way your team worked. Customer service was outstanding, Food was delicious, Signature Drinks were prepared by knowledgeable bartenders and very friendly, wait staff did phenomenal job. Everything was wonderfully done behind the scene, I was very impressed with the champagne toast and the pick up of the glasses. I've been an event planner for almost 20 years in North Carolina, and it reminded me of my team. I haven't seen such a comparison since moving to Philadelphia.  When you do what we do, it's kind of hard to sit back and enjoy the party but I really did. Great Job

We had our wedding at Platform 30 on May 4th, 2019 and we knew from the moment we walked in it was the place for us. It has character as well as modern touches, having the uplighting included made the space feel dramatic and elegant at the same time. The staff was wonderful, very attentive and the cake and food that were included in the package were awesome-we got a ton of compliments. One of the my favorite things is how all-inclusive it was, they had the DJ, photobooth, valet etc because going out and finding all those services individually is ALOT of work. We enjoyed every moment of our wedding because everything was just perfectly handled. And the cost, especially in the city, could not be beat. No hidden fees and the services were top notch. We had 110 people and the space was just the right size for us but we could have had more and still been comfortable. HIGHLY Recommend!

From the moment we toured Platform Thirty we knew that this was the place where we wanted to celebrate the most special day of our lives. We just loved the unique romantic industrial vibe that was exactly what we were looking for.
Every aspect of our wedding day was perfect. There wasn't a detail that was overlooked! They effortlessly orchestrated our on site wedding ceremony and seamlessly transitioned our guests into the reception area while the space was turned into a beautiful dining room. The food is top quality; it's just like dining at a five star restaurant. We just can't say enough about the amazingly attentive staff that not only took great care of us but also paid special attention to all our guests. Since our wedding day, we have been flooded with compliments about the venue, amazing food and service. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

My husband and I just had our wedding reception at Platform Thirty at Beat Street Station and I couldn’t ask for more. Everything was beautiful. All the staffs were amazing, they made sure that we got the best for our special day. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you everybody here who had working so hard to make my dream wedding comes true. I would give the place a thousand stars if I can!!

Truly an experience of a lifetime! The venue was absolutely beautiful and absolutely made the biggest day of our lives the best day of our lives :)

We had our wedding here on 9/22/17. Everything was amazing! The staff was super attentive to our every need as well as the needs of our guests. The apps were delicious and never stopped coming out! The venue itself is gorgeous!!! They recently remodeled. The space is still super cool and unique but updated and modern. Compared to some of the other places we looked at they were also very reasonably priced and very accommodating. They helped us with the big and small details. Everyone said how much fun they had. The photo booth that we rented off of them was awesome as well.

I had my ceremony & reception at Beat Street this past Saturday & everything was perfect! I knew from the second I looked at this venue that was where I wanted to get married!
The bridal suite is amazing and also great for pics!
Lisa and the rest of the staff were incredible!
I highly recommend this venue!!

Lisa and her staff were amazing!! We planned our wedding out of town and the entire time Beat Street made us feel so comfortable. We wanted a unique space for our wedding and we found that in Beat Street. From the beginning Lisa responded quickly, always made time for us and worked very hard to give us exactly what we wanted. Her staff is exceptional! The guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful everything looked, how amazing the food was and how on point the staff was. We wouldn't have changed a thing! We highly recommend Beat Street Station, with Lisa and her staff you will have your dream wedding without the stress!

Lisa and her staff were awesome! Lisa did not miss a beat in coordinating each step and gave us the very reception we wanted.... exciting and fun! The food was excellent! The staff had a great time with our friends.... a dream reception!

I cannot recommend Beat Street Station highly enough as a wedding venue!! It's small enough to keep things personal, unique enough to be remembered, the colors make for great pictures and the entire staff was awesome.
Lisa Gratszinger was amazing to work with. I planned my wedding from Arizona and Lisa responded to every single phone call and email quickly, answered all of my questions and made great recommendations. I never once felt as if I was bothering her or had too many questions (which was not the case with some venues I called just to check availiblity or get info). She was there the day of and kept everything running smoothly and perfectly.
Waitstaff, bartenders, valet attendants were efficient, friendly and made all of my guests feel at home and welcome. We used the in-house DJ as well who kept the party going all night, and played every song we wanted, I highly recommend you use him!
We had party of just under 150 and the space was perfect. Little to no wait at the bar (and we had a party of drinkers), comfortable cocktail hour and large dancefloor. The food was fantastic, both for cocktail hour and our dinner.
Between Lisa and the staff, everything was so well run that we were able to truly enjoy our wedding. We received so many compliments and comments from our guests about how much they liked the space, vibe, staff and overall experience of our wedding at Beat Street Station, again, I cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

If you want a unique, classy and fun venue that is run by true hospitality professionals, I implore you to choose Beat Street! I was not the type of bride who spent her entire life planning her wedding, but I certainly knew what I wanted--a venue with a personality, one that reflected the style and personality of both my groom and me. No stuffy, run-of-the-mill ballroom affair for this bride and groom! Beat Street MORE than delivered! From Lisa Gratzinger's professionalism and personal care throughout the planning process, to her and the serving staff's flawless and personalized care the day of, our expectations were exceeded. Throughout our planning process, some unexpected events occurred that forced us to trim the costs of our reception, and Lisa handled our requests with tact and creativity. Countless guests commented on the personal service they received at their tables, and best of all, the appetizers and food were OUTSTANDING. All of our ceremony and reception items (e.g. centerpieces, favors, decorations) were placed and organized EXACTLY, and in a few instances, BETTER, than we had requested them to be when we dropped them off the day prior...all my groom and I had to do was show up and enjoy our party. A home run for Lisa and all the folks at Beat Street!

I can't say enough good things about this place. I didn't do a whole lot of "drive myself crazy" with my wedding planning. I wanted something different - unique - one look at this place and I knew this was it. Lisa - the coordinator - is AWESOME. She was so "take charge," that even a type A nut like myself can say that she pulled everything off just fabulously. Food was amazing. Venue is like no other. Tons of guest compliments. I am SO HAPPY that we had our reception here. Highly recommended!

We had our wedding during the freak snow storm in October. Lisa and all the staff were there and so helpful. If you are looking for a different venue at a reasonable price, this is a great place. I was concerned (being the worrier that I am) that the space might be tight for all of our 140 guest. I also couldn't find many pictures or reviews when we booked last winter, but we really loved it so we booked. I can tell you that it was very comfortable for 140 people. The staff turned over our ceremony to the reception very fast. There was a lot of room for dancing and the cocktail hour was busy...but very cozy and everything was very accessible. Our guests loved the food and drinks and there were plenty. The bar was very cool because it wasn't like the drink tables that you see at a lot of weddings. The photo booth was great and a reasonable price compared to others that a DJ or photographer might provide. The only downside was that there aren't any hotels in Manayunk. We blocked rooms for our guests and stayed at the Marriott in Conshohocken. We paid for a shuttle to and from the hotel. We also got the valet parking at Beat Street which we debated but it was totally worth it. A very different venue and a great place for unique pictures!

If you want a wedding in the city but don't want the nonsense that comes with the party managers and a blown venue budget, the Beat Street Station is the way to go. The venue itself is like its own wedding guest. I've never seen a building with so much character. Lisa Gratzinger, the party manager, can't do enough in terms of customer service and flexibility. We had a wedding of 65 guests and this was the perfect venue. Our guests are still talking about Beat Street :)

I was SO HAPPY with Beat Street Station!! Lisa was amazing-I corresponded with her via email and she was always prompt, detailed, and extremely accomodating. The venue itself is just unsurpassable if you're looking for something unique, fun, and artsy. They are an events facility, so the nightclub lighting, light-up dance floor, and built-in DJ booth really make for a polished look, and the bar is FANTASTIC!! All of the food is made-to-order, so you get EXACTLY what you want, they are more flexible in both pricing and options than many places, and you can make your event truly personal. I didn't use the photobooth, but it looks really fun as well and, although I didn't use the resources provided, they have some great partnerships with decorators that can make the space just about anything you want it to be. I wanted simple, and they provided over 50 different colors of linens, had staff set up the entire site for me from scratch (including putting together my centerpieces and my candy bar), and were set with a specialty cocktail, chocolates, and hor d'oeuvres as soon as we arrived.

Here's the best part-the day of the wedding, my DJ was MIA (READ: He ran out of gas on the side of the highway). This was no fault or responsibility of Beat Street Station or Lisa, but she went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy and that my bridal party and guests were taken care of for the entire two hours that they (the guests) were without dinner and music. Honestly, I'm sure that Beat Street Station is a fabulous venue in and of itself, but Lisa made it spectacular. She was far and away and best person with whom I worked, she made me feel like a princess bride while taking me and my requests seriously, and I am so thankful for her attention and involvement in my wedding. If you are holding any event here, be it kids' party, wedding, or just are looking for an excuse to have a party, you would be making a huge mistake not to take a look at Beat Street Station and contact Lisa.

Oh, by the way, that made-to-order food? DELICIOUS. Way better than you get at a hotel or ballroom. We had salmon and chicken but I can't do it justice by describing it. So, check out Beat Street Station if you're hosting a party-you will thank yourself for it!!

My husband and I were married in Italy and Beat Street Station was the perfect place to hold our stateside reception. The Station is very funky and fun looking and the location at the Manayunk train station made it perfect for our guests coming from Center City who didn't want to worry about drinking and driving.

The station has their own Chiavari chairs so those were apart of our day at no extra cost. They also have lots of color choices for table linens which were included in our wedding package as well. They even have an onsite photo booth that can be used during events for a small fee!

But the best part about the whole Beat Street experience was Lisa Gratzinger. She is AMAZING! She built us a menu based on our budget and helped us to make decisions regarding table linen colors, centerpieces, etc . On the day of the reception, my bridesmaids and I arrived at the venue to get dressed to find that Lisa had left us some champagne to drink while we got ready. She acted as coordinator during the evening and even took the extra centerpiece materials and made an arrangement out of them to put onto the cake table! It was a lovely surprise and made the space look even better. During the reception we were supposed to have our Italy wedding ceremony play on the big screen to show all our guests and the DVD player didn't work because it wasn't compatible with our disk. Lisa went WAY above and beyond and called her sister to bring us the DVD player out of her own house and saved the day!

Overall, everyone raved about the reception and I even had people marveling at how much it all must of cost! Little did they know that we were on a tight budget but that Lisa and Beat Street found a way for us to get a beautiful day without breaking the bank!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Beat Street. The staff was superb and all of my guests raved about the food. We would have our reception there again in a heartbeat!

Within moments of walking into Platform Thirty, my fiancée and I knew Platform Thirty was our wedding venue. We did not want a cookie cutter venue and Platform Thirty is far from that. It is a hidden gem in the heart of Manayunk. We received several compliments from our guests on the venue – it is a perfect blend of elegance, industrial chic, and charm. There are several areas for guests to enjoy throughout the night. The venue is situated on an active railroad line which makes for great pictures and convenient traveling for guests nearby. The railroad cannot be heard inside the venue. The venue offers many services including complimentary valet, cake included, up lighting, several banquette seating, champagne toast, two signature cocktails, and so much more. My fiancée and I enjoyed the large bridal suite for our bridal party and the DJ booth that was built into the venue to match the rest of the venue’s décor. Our wedding ceremony and reception took place at Platform Thirty; the room flipping was fast and everything was set up following our directions and vision. Platform Thirty is different from most venues we visited because the staff worked closely with us to create the perfect menu of passed hors d'oeuvres, cold & hot stations, dinner menu, and late night to go meals. We were able to add, subtract, and modify items until all parties were happy. Our guests raved about the food. The food was incredible and served on time! We are amazed at the quality and quantity of food; our guests continue to mention the food to us today. For our wedding, we utilized the TVs and projector available for use for photo slideshows during the formal dances. This was a nice added feature from the venue. In terms of value, Platform Thirty offered fantastic pricing, especially for being located within Philadelphia limits. Platform Thirty fit within our budget without compromising on quality. They made the pricing easy to understand by including all taxes, service fees, and any other fee within their per person cost rather than receiving a bill with hidden fees. Their package included a wedding coordinator to assist with questions throughout the planning process and this package covered all the essentials such as tables (both round and rectangle), linens, tableware, lighting, and so much more, which minimized additional costs and stress. The customer service was great even with some staffing changes near our wedding date. They were supportive and made sure they understood our wants, needs, and vision. Picking Platform Thirty was the best decision we made. The venue’s unique and elegant layout, the food, and the flexibility are just some of the things that we enjoyed most. We encourage everyone to check out the venue and hope others fall in love with it as much as we did.

On the day of our wedding, Platform Thirty was unbelievably professional, attentive, caring, and frankly on top of every detail and moment. The food was great, we got so many compliments, including how on top of everything the wait staff was. Our wedding day went so smoothly because of the team at Platform Thirty. Everyone had a fantastic time and we wouldn’t have wanted to have our wedding anywhere else!

We had our wedding reception at Beat Street Station. From the moment we found it online, we knew we wanted to have our reception here. Lisa Gratz was very quick to respond to our initial inquiry, and we set up a time to tour the venue. She was not pushy at all during the tour- she even said she was sure there were a lot of other places we would want to look at before deciding-- we said no, this is it, lets talk now. We told her we were on a strict budget and asked her to create a menu to accommodate us. We went a little over budget to get exactly what we wanted.
I never scheduled a trial of the food. This I worried about as we lead up to the big day. The food was great! Our guests all said the food was great, and even someone told me the food was the best wedding food they've had. It was plated like what you would see at a fancy restaurant.
The servers and bartenders were awesome. If I put my drink down, I had someone asking me what I needed.
Lisa was amazing. Everything was exactly what we wanted if not better. We were blown away with how great the place looked when we arrived. The venue is so unique- you do not need much for decoration. I had an idea of how I wanted things set up and they did it all perfectly.
Guests kept commenting on how cool the venue was and asked how did we find it?
In summary- if you want a unique venue, great food, and an awesome party- this is the place to have it.

This Venue ROCKED!! We had the BEST wedding ever thanks to the charm of this venue. It was totally non-traditional, funky, unique and beautiful to look at! My guests can't stop raving about how awesome it was...and the food was awesome!!! Working with Lisa was wonderful too! She accommodated all of our needs to fit our budget and still made sure we were able to have it the way we wanted it!. Thank you Lisa again for helping our day come alive with all of your help and guidance. I will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and fun wedding! WE could not have been more happier!!!! I really wish we could do it all over again, Beat street was actually that perfect for us!! Thank you,

In June 2020, we were masked and unsure about planning a wedding at was then the beginning of the bumpy pandemic road.

Finding Platform Thirty was like love at first sight. Located in the middle of Manayunk,
the former train station provided a terrific mix of character with the added benefit of
complimentary valet parking. The amenities checked all our boxes. Especially, no stairs
for the grandparents throughout the entire venue. We then knew that we’d found the perfect place.

Lisa Webb got the ball rolling with her concise presentation along with a reasonable pricing package and planning schedule that even included a Covid-19 clause should the pandemic still be an issue.

Our event coordinator, Liza Gratzinger, provided guidance and professionalism that
helped make the evening perfect. In June 2021, we had a successful food tasting with "Station Catering" which wowed us with their new in-house menu. This provide a fantastic glimpse of our evening’s culinary delight.

Both Lisa’s saw use through the changes and uncertainties of the city Covid-19 regulations.

On our Sunday in October, it may have been gloomy outside, but inside it was glorious.

The entire staff worked seamlessly to create the best event possible. Everyone commented on the attentive service, the delicious food, and the glowing ambiance, thanks to the late addition of the market lighting. Our families and friends departed with huge smiles and great memories.

The wedding party and parents are greatly appreciative the entire Platform Thirty staff.

If you want a no-stress planning experience, and to be able to be a guest at your own wedding, Beat Street Station and Infinity Caterers are a great option in Philly. Lisa Gratzinger is a total pro, and my wedding was amazing thanks to her and the staff! Lisa was always responsive and helpful, and went above and beyond to make my wedding perfect.

There are a variety of different packages, and pricing is very easy to understand. That last part is surprisingly important: several other venues and caterers I inquired about had tons of random hidden fees (which I only found out about by asking very specific questions). But dealing with Beat Street Station was always very straightforward, and always pleasant!

In terms of aesthetics, the space is unique and visually interesting, so it barely needs any decorations. For our ~100 guests it was intimate without being claustrophobic. My guests raved about what a cool place it was, and the amazing food provided by Infinity Caterers. I won't hesitate to recommend this place to friends.

We had our wedding July 20, 2013 here and it was fantastic! I loved the uniqueness of the place! We had a party of 150 guests, the best is the bar area which lets the guests mingle around and not stuck in their seats.

The food was great and Lisa was nice to work with.

My gripes have to do with more of the planning. I would think that if you paying this much money on a party you would know exactly what you are getting ie. exact meals, drinks, ect. Maybe overall I expected more guidance.

Overall it was a nice experience and I would suggest to others to use this company.
