“My husband and I had our vow renewal here in October 2022 after having a disastrous rescheduling of our initial wedding in October 2020 (due to the pandemic and our caterer trying to run away with $8000 of payments). We got married in our backyard on our original date with very few family members present, so we were hesitant to commit to planning a big vow renewal (aka, wedding) with fear that the venue would close (as may had at the time) or we'd have a similar situation with vendors abruptly closing their business. We thought 'if we're going to do this, it's going to be somewhere that is a community staple'. So, we came across the Merchantville Community Center. It didn't seem as lavish as our original venue that we booked years prior, but it seemed 'homey'. However, when we arrived, our expectations were certainly exceeded. With warm lighting, exposed brick, wood floors, and a STUNNING patio that could fit nearly all of our guests, this place felt like a best kept secret.We knew we wanted to bring in some rentals to make it feel more like 'us', but the palette was certainly there. Working with Elizabeth, the community center manager, was icing on the cake. Elizabeth was INCREDIBLE. Better than some planners we had worked with in the past, and definitely better than most venue coordinators. Her response times were quick, she was kind and informative, and helped us stretch any and all limitations to bring our vision to life. Our event was a big undertaking with all the rentals we were bringing in and the size of our guest count, but she did everything she could to ensure success. I highly recommend using this hidden gem of a place if you're looking for somewhere that feels like home away from home for your event!”

“Clean bathrooms. Good selection of house bowling balls. The shoes were fine. The atmosphere was good. Did not try any of the food so I can't comment on that. The only mark against the place I could find at all was that it's much more comfortable to reserve two lanes next to each other than just take the one because the seating behind the lanes feels very claustrophobic when you're sharing it with another group.”

Kene and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“The team at The Madison and Thomas, in particular, were exceptional. The venue's beauty was breathtaking, and its cleanliness was without fault. The culinary experience was a highlight, with dishes that transcended traditional event food, both in presentation and quality.

“We had our wedding here this past December and I can’t recommend it enough. The building is beautiful and an amazing piece of history and the current goings on just make it better. The lighting added to the auditorium is austere and the disco ball in the gym is simply fabulous.All of the people at Bok were great and easy to work with. Elise was a wonderful guide who was available and knowledgeable throughout the planning process. For the wedding itself our lighting was done in house, the wedding party got ready onsite with breakfast pastries from downstairs and we got to do photos on the roof with the city behind us. If any of this sounds good to you, go take a look and see for yourself - it's awesome”

“Corridor is an amazing three floor gallery in the heart of Fishtown, complete with a mix of local artists and rotating exhibitions. I spent about half an hour wandering through the building and really enjoyed the setup and curatorial work. Staff here is super helpful in terms of outlining what you're about to take in, and the gallery itself is free to walk into.Make sure to add this to your Fishtown itinerary! I joined the mailing list to stay up to date on future openings and look forward to being a regular supporter of this community gem.”

“We had a wonderful and amazing experience having our toddler's second birthday party here! We had approx. a dozen toddlers and their parents, along with friends/family/cousins, and there was plenty of room and fun for all. Adrienne and her team made the process seamless and for everything they did and all props, games, and decorations, we found the cost very reasonable. We've since been sending our toddler to the sports class, which has also been a fantastic experience! Thank you LCAC for being awesome!”

“Great place to see a concert. Cool old building and plenty of staff kept things organized and moving. Only drawback is that parking lot is too small, but there is plenty of free street parking available. Love to attend events here.”

“We were early, but were seated and the staff was warm and welcoming. We were there for the Spring Early Bird Specials and the choices made it hard to decide, but we each chose different apps and entrees and each of us was delighted with our choices. We chose the same dessert and were very happy with it. The grilled salmon was cooked perfectly and the risotto was so creamy i could have had an entree of just that! My sister, it was her 89th Birthday, got the Gnocchi and said it was excellent, she almost asked for a doggie bag because it was so filling, so she opted for the Sorbetto for dessert instead of a cannoli. The sound level was quiet, the music was soft. More people came after us and the staff still acted as if we were their only concern! As senior citizens we don't like to drive at night, especially since we were coming from Marlton. We will be looking to do this again.”

“This is a long time coming, but finally getting to writing this review!! I hosted my birthday party here in January and I could not be happier with my decision. I rented out the entire top floor and hosted ~50-60 guests. There was ample space for all guests and the food was amazing! The staff made sure that the food was constantly replenished throughout the night. The bartenders were extremely friendly and did not miss a beat. Thank you so much to the entire team, especially Ali for helping with the coordination ahead of time :) Working with Midnight Iris made hosting my party a breeze”

“From the moment my husband and I entered the Collingswood Grand Ballroom, we knew we had to have our wedding there. It is simply beautiful and has a certain charm to it. It is classy without being in your face. Many of our wedding guests have told us how beautiful the Collingswood Grand Ballroom was, that the grand staircase was so elegant, and how much they enjoyed the wedding there overall. The bridal suite is also incredible and the natural light that gets in is stunning -- it really made for the excellent photos.In addition to the pure elegance of the Collingswood Grand Ballroom, the customer service was top-notch. Beth and Paula were very responsive, attentive, and were really helpful through the whole process. They made everything so easy for my husband and I the day of the wedding. We could not be more happy with our decision to have our wedding at the Collingswood Grand Ballroom, and could not recommend it enough as a place to have yours!”

“Great venue for concerts and live shows! Old school opera stage converted into a modern hall with lots of seating and a bar! Parking is hard to find, only street parking in surrounding blocks. Try to take a rideshare or subway there.”

“Beer Fest Activities @ 23rd St Armory!There were about 20+ breweries participating! I had a VIP Early Access Ticket…it was great to get started with the sampling before it became crowded!I focused on breweries that I haven’t had previous tastes…sadly this is when I realized I have a ‘beer problem’..there may have been 2-3 only that I NEVER had and once I sampled them…I wish I hadn’t…Haahaa! My philosophy about breweries today is: If you brew beer - it doesn’t = good beer!It was a good time overall!”

“Came here for a friend's private birthday party and had an amazing time. Eclectic 2 floor place with pool, ping pong, and darts. Lots of seating. Space for a live band. The owner, Rich, and the bartenders, Jezebel and Colin, were extremely nice. I'd say it's a great place to have an event depending on how many people you have. Note for people who drive: parking is extremely limited (obviously not the venue's fault).”

“Where to begin!! Took my wife for date night. The atmosphere was great. From the moment we walked into the back studio until we left, was an absolute blast. The husband and wife team make the experience super fun and easy. We laughed, joked, painted, and of course drank some wine. I would definitely recommend for a date night!! We will absolutely go back for another lesson.”

The food was fantastic, from the very first appetizer to the delicious dessert cups at the end. The service was even better. The people were really lovely and the ambiance was warm and intimate. Perfect night. Thank you!”
