The Knowlton Mansion was an exceptional venue for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team's communication was effective, professional, and there were always on schedule. Rebecca, our day-of coordinator, made the entire day virtually stress-free with her meticulous attention to detail. The Knowlton Mansion itself is a beautiful, timeless space that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. We were thrilled with the quality of their work and the incredible value they provided. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue, and we highly recommend The Knowlton Mansion to any couple planning their big day.

The Fairmount Park Horticulture Center is the dreamiest venue ever with incredible food!! We received so many compliments on how much food we had all night long and how tasty it was. It’s extremely well run by an amazing team of people and we felt so taken care of all night. Everything was so on schedule and went according to plan. We were able to do so many walkthroughs throughout the planning process and the food tasting night was 10/10. I truly have no complaints about the venue or how the planning process went with the catering and venue leads.

We held our wedding at The Franklin, with photos on the steps and around the museum, a rooftop service followed by cocktails in the life sciences and energy galleries, and dinner and dancing in the Rotunda with the Ben Franklin National Memorial. Start to finish the days was seamless, organized and amazing. The combination of the quality of the organization (we did not need a wedding planner, the staff at the Franklin did 90% of the work), the food and catering, lighting and small touches all made the day the best of our lives. On top where else can you

I highly recommend the Curtis Atrium if you want to have a grand and luxurious wedding experience. The entire building is stunning, and the food by Constellation Culinary was excellent! The staff was friendly and easy to work with; they also went above and beyond to find accommodations for special requests. All of our wedding guests RAVED about the food and the venue. I can't thank the Constellation team enough for making my night so special.

As a vendor in the industry, I work in dozens if not hundreds of venues every year. Working with the team at PAFA is always a highlight for us. Their expectation and communication is clear. Their clients love them and in turn you can tell they feel the same. The venue is one of a kind.... truly magical. Their offering, care, attention and heart are all obvious in working with the PAFA team.

My husband and I hosted our wedding and reception at Front & Palmer in April and we are so happy we did. We absolutely recommend them - they are perfect for a city wedding! I had originally heard of F&P after seeing a friend's pictures from a wedding there and immediately knew I wanted to check the place out. They ended up being the only venue we toured as my husband and I were sold on it from the minute we arrived. The Fishtown location was perfect and F&P was very flexible in accommodating all our needs for the day.

My husband and I hosted our summer wedding with La Peg at Fringe Arts last summer and it could not have been a more perfect day and the best planning and execution experience, from start to finish. We were an out of town couple planning our wedding here, as we moved from Philly to DC, so communication was really important throughout the process, and everyone we worked with made sure to keep communication open and frequent. We loved how unique La Peg’s atmosphere was for our black & white, modern, elegant black tie wedding. The exposed brick, high vaulted ceilings,

When looking at wedding venues we knew that we wanted somewhere that could host all of our wedding day events - ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. But we also wanted a venue that would wow our guests. The Penn Museum was the first place we looked and all other venues fell short of its beauty and the energy, professionalism, and enthusiasm of event staff. Our coordinator, Allison, was helpful throughout the whole planning process - she was responsive and accommodating, offering to take us around as many times as we needed. Our wedding day ran smoothly in large part due

Yards was perfect for our wedding! The ambiance is modern but cozy, perfect for our 110 guest list. Carolyn was great to work with, she was responsive and made sure everything we wanted to be incorporated into the day was accommodated. She and her team set everything up nicely and took care of putting out our personal touches. Our guests raved about the food, it was just as good day of as it was at the tasting. Bartenders were great, all the staff was great really. Highly recommend if you have a medium sized guest list and want a more
