We are so grateful to the entire team at Melhorn Manor for making our wedding day happen!! It's hard to even know where to begin - from start to finish, every detail of the day was magical thanks to the team's hard work and expertise. When my fiancé and I started the wedding planning process, we toured plenty of venues, but we knew right away that Melhorn Manor was different in the best way. We were used to being rushed through other venue tours, dismissed because our wedding wasn't big enough, and generally being made to feel more like dollar signs than excited newlyweds-to-be. But our experience at Melhorn Manor couldn't have been further from this - we met Allory for the tour, and before we took a step through the property, he took the time to introduce himself and the Melhorn family and to share the lovely story of how Melhorn Manor came about. We didn't feel rushed or pressured like we had at other venues, and Allory really took the time to understand our vision for our big day and help us imagine it around the property. We left that day glowing and feeling sure that "this is the one!" And how right we were!! We really can't say enough positive things about our wedding day. Getting ready in the amazing bridal suite and Groom's room was such a fun and special way to kick off the day. As the ceremony approached, it was so clear that the team was all working so hard to make sure all the decor was set up, every detail was thought through, and every moment went off without a hitch. What a special and humbling feeling it is to have so many people invested in making your special day as magical and memorable as you've always hoped it would be - it's impossible to express the depth of our gratitude. Our wedding day was quite a rainy one, but the Melhorn team had a plan for everything. Melhorn Manor had the most robust rain plan of any venue we toured: some venues' plans had felt more like an afterthought, while Melhorn offers an entirely separate building that can be used for the ceremony in inclement weather. It was such a huge relief to feel like we didn't have to worry about adjusting every detail on the fly, and to go into our rainy wedding day knowing that, regardless of the weather, it would be just as beautiful and special as we always imagined. We had and continue to have SO many of our guests, both on the wedding night and afterwards, tell us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. So many glowing comments about the beautiful venue, the fun had on the dance floor, the amazing and kind staff, and all of the countless details that go into making the day memorable. We couldn't agree more that Melhorn Manor was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we have the incredible team to thank for all the hard work, attention to detail, and love that went into making this the wedding of our dreams. We, and our families and loved ones, will truly cherish the memory of this day for a lifetime. We are so grateful to have had the absolute joy of working with Allory, Jess, and the entire Melhorn Manor team. They were enthusiastic, thoughtful, kind, and so organized at every step of the way. We can't imagine what our special day would have looked like anywhere other than Melhorn Manor - what an amazing place that will hold a special place in our hearts forever. We simply can't thank the entire staff enough!!

Reviews Alex, our incredible wedding coordinator, Seamus and I have YOU to thank for making our wedding the best day of our lives! Stroudsmoor Country Inn was our chosen venue for multiple reasons, but my main reason was because of Alex. From the first time I met Alex, she was confident, helpful, kind, transparent, dedicated, and responsive. She made the entire planning process stress free and easy. On the day of the wedding, she worked her magic! I knew the day would be overwhelming but she handled all the vendors, moving parts, and last minute changes like a true professional. I trusted her fully from the first day and I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I didn’t have to worry about anything which was such a relief because wow it was a lot happening at once! Alex loves her job and has a passion and incredible skill for wedding planning. I have been recommending her to every newly engaged couple! Alex, you made our dreams a reality. Thank you. Stroudsmoor Country Inn was just beautiful. We chose Lawnhaven and it was the best decision we could have made. Our flowers and set up was more beautiful than I had even envisioned! Having our room, hair and make up, pictures, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place made the day go so smoothly without worrying about traveling time. We looked at about 5 venues before Stroudsmoor, and we were on the edge of deciding to not do a wedding because of the cost. The prices were so reasonable for everything included and the payment was spread out over a few months so it wasn’t overwhelming. Thank you to Alex, all the kind and helpful staff, vendors, and everyone at Stroudsmoor. The best venue I could have asked for!

My fiancé and I were looking for a rustic wedding venue, not a ballroom, preferably a venue with space to be outside (weather permitting). We visited a few options in the Philly area and fell in love with the John James Audubon Center! The space offers SO many options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony. They host receptions in the pavilion which is open with huge windows and firepits outside! The site is beautiful, and everyone we’ve worked with has been immensely helpful! After officially booking for our October 2024 wedding, we planned to visit with our parents. What was originally intended to be a quick stroll around the grounds turned into an impromptu tour with the venue manage. She answered all of our parents' questions and even brought out photo books of previous weddings for us to flip through together. With the wedding right around the corner now, we could not be more thrilled with our decision and can't wait to be there next month to celebrate our big day!

We got married at RCC on April 5th. This was an amazing venue. They renovated the building from top to bottom and did a lot of outside landscaping. We had our rehearsal dinner at Jacks on the Green in a private room, the food was great and the service was on point. We had our Wedding ceremony inside and it turned out perfect. The dance floor is very big and our guests loved the outside patios. There’s so many great areas here for pictures. Dan, Kayla, and Brianna were great to work with. They’re very professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns you have. We highly recommend you checking out this venue.

The Drexelbrook did an excellent job hosting our baby shower. Their buffet and dessert bar options were delicious and plentiful.They took good care of our guests who needed vegan, gluten-free options or a kid's meal.One of the highlights of our celebration was a "make your own bouquet" bar for guests. It was an option that Drexelbrook suggested, based on our shower theme. They worked with us to ensure that we could decorate and arrange the space to meet the needs of our event.

If you were on the fence about having your wedding at the Ballroom At Ellis preserve, or honestly at any of the Finley catering venues, DO IT IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN. As a generally detail oriented and type A person, I cannot fully express how exceptional the entire planning and day of process was with Finley. We worked closely with Meagan who was extremely responsive and helpful the entire time. As a bride, on the day of the wedding neither I nor my family had to think about a single detail – Finley handled it all. Savannah was our maître d’ for the day of the wedding and she was exceptional and made sure we were where we needed to be, when we needed to be there. Numerous people have told me that they have never been to such an incredible wedding and that everything flowed perfectly well and took the perfect amount of time. We didn’t even need to hire an outside planner or day of coordinator. And everything was perfect. This particularly blessed me because my husband and I had a six month engagement. We got engaged on January 30 and married on August 16. Planning the wedding in this short amount of time was made easy because of the expertise of Finley. Finley worked with us to ensure that we had all of the details we wanted for the day of, and also went above and beyond to make the planning process stress-free. I was particularly grateful that we did not have to bring in outside rentals – linens, China, silverware, tables and chairs, etc. was all done through Finley and it streamlined everything. It was so nice to just have to talk to one person instead of coordinating with numerous vendors. Megan also had great recommendations for other vendors! And I have to say - the food was AMAZING. We still have people raving about the food from our wedding, especially the insane cocktail hour display. Our dinner service was perfect, professional, and delicious. The venue itself was beautiful and beyond my dreams. It has all of the tradition of a historic building, with modern amenities and capacity for 200 people. The entire space is perfect and clean. Elegant and beautiful. The bridal suite’s size and the bridal attendants made the getting ready process seamless and kept the space calm and organized. I also appreciated how straightforward and transparent Finley was with their pricing and all that it included. Deeply refreshing to see from anyone in the wedding industry. I am a fan of Finley for life, the ballroom at ellis preserve was beyond my wildest dreams, and I am so grateful for their work to truly make the day the best of our lives.

We looked at several venues, but Penn Oaks had everything we were looking for and more. There’s a lot included in their 2 wedding packages, which made our decision easy.

We had our winter wedding at the Philadelphia Horticulture Center at Fairmount Park, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. Olivia and her team made it pure magic from start to finish. The space is absolutely stunning — even in the winter, it feels like you’re stepping into a romantic garden oasis. The greenery, natural light, and elegant greenhouse vibe create the perfect mix of cozy and breathtaking, and our guests could not stop talking about how unique and beautiful it was and how good the food and cocktails were. The setting is naturally gorgeous, which made our photos look like something out of a magazine. The venue flows beautifully for a wedding — from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception — and it felt intimate, warm, and inviting while still being spacious enough to celebrate comfortably. The winter atmosphere made it even more special: romantic, glowing, and timeless.

It’s a true hidden gem in the city and was the perfect backdrop for the most incredible day of our lives. We are so grateful we chose this venue — it was everything we dreamed of and more.

If you’re looking for an elegant event in a rustic setting, The Atrium @Terrain in Devon, PA is the place to go (@terrain_devonyard / @terrain_events). I hosted a bridal shower here in June 2025, in the evening. The staff is superb. Food drink fabulous. Honestly, I would have every event for my family here. You really don’t even need to decorate. There’s plenty of room to move about and mingle. I am still receiving rave reviews from my guests for the shower. Emily, my 1st contact, quickly gave me all the details for The Atrium – it is dedicated to smaller affairs and booking is available all year. She set us up with Allison for a tour. Beautiful dining area, plenty of area to mingle, gorgeous outdoor bar / cocktail area. I had seen a beautiful flower cart (with a chandelier) reminiscent of the flower carts in Paris at The Atrium. Allison referred me to Brenda Stewart of Proparazzi Photobooths (@proparazzi_photobooths), a preferred vendor. Thru Brenda, we booked the flower cart, a gorgeous flower wall with props custom signs, and a beautiful balloon arrangement made by Briana (@brianarene_luxevents) (separate review on them – they were fabulous). The flower cart served as a flower bar, w/ flowers supplied by our favorite local flower farmer Dawn Zimmerman (@ethyls_backyard). Guests selected flowers bouquets were made by Vanessa Gagliotti (@cethosiafloral). They also did the florals for the tables. We added pillar candles gauze table runners to the tables but added décor is optional. It is elegant with no added décor. The Atrium has plenty of votive candles to add to every table. The food drinks were perfection. Our signature cocktail was the strawberry rose mojito. It was divine – guests loved it. We had a superb bartender. Aside from the delightful signature cocktail, she made one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had. For the cocktail hour, we did passed hors d’oeuvres – lobster rolls, lollipop lamb chops, Boursin cheese gougères. All delicious. Highly recommend the mixed lettuce salad w/ watermelon, hazelnut, chevre, a tasty red wine/shallot vinaigrette. The signature flowerpot bread is always a favorite. For dinner, we chose the free-range chicken, mushroom risotto, the always superb halibut almondine Desserts were fabulous, all made in house, a selection of honey tartlet, caramel dipped creampuff, brown butter cupcake, cookie truffle, macarons – plus the Terrain black lava sea salt signature cookie. Service was excellent throughout the entire event. We did custom cookies by Emily Retamozo (@emily-retamozo) as a shower favor. Her cookies are gorgeous taste good. We give her details about the honorees and she whips up the most beautiful designs specific to the event. There was some rain on the day of the event – but no problem. The dining area is fully enclosed. The bar area is outside but protected by foliage. The staff preferred vendors know exactly how to set up in the case of rain. Huge thank you to Paige, my event coordinator, for shepherding me through the process and always being quick to answer my emails. So important! On the day of the event, Bridget was our event concierge. Many thanks to Bridget for helping me run the event, making helpful suggestions, keeping us on track, being able to adjust when I changed the flow of the event. We never felt rushed. It was perfection. Photos courtesy of the engaged couple’s friend Alex Dale (Photo cred - @Alex_dale111).

My husband and I had our wedding at the Penn Museum last weekend, and we truly cannot recommend it enough! From the moment we started looking at venues, we knew we wanted a museum setting, and the Penn Museum far exceeded every other option we saw. The grand, ornate architecture and the incredible exhibits won us over instantly. We loved that both the outdoor ceremony space and the indoor backup option were equally stunning. Regardless of weather conditions, we knew we’d be happy. The versatility of the venue was another huge plus, with so many beautiful rooms to choose from for each part of the celebration (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). Once the museum closes to the public at 5 PM, it essentially becomes yours for the evening. Almost all exhibits are open for guests to explore. Some of our favorite aspects of the venue were our outdoor ceremony in Warden Garden, which allowed for a dramatic processional through the grand brown doors, and cocktail hour in the breathtaking Chinese Rotunda. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the uniqueness of the venue, the outstanding food, and the warmth of the entire staff. I do highly recommend having a day-of coordinator to assist if you choose Penn Museum, given that it is primarily a museum and that created some added complexities for logistics.
