Venues & Event Spaces near Palmyra, NJ

“I needed help with a cat I was trying to rescue and Lori from Purrsonal Space was the only one that answered among a lot of other rescues. She helped me with great advices, going through all the situation with me and even visited the cat to scan for a microchip. I can’t put into words how much I appreciate her help through all this. It was such a stressful time that ended up being a happy ending with her help! Thank you!”

“This was our first visit to Smoke and Mirrors, but it won’t be the last! We saw Mysterion and his show was INCREDIBLE! The theater is beautiful and intimate and every seat is amazing. We were front row and have NO IDEA how any of the magic was performed - it’s just magic! You must experience it for yourself.”

“This was an amazing experience! My friends and I went to celebrate a birthday. It was so awesome. We did the petite suite with the glow party and it was worth every penny! We will definitely be going back!”

“Awesome place ! We had such a fun time making candles! They smell so good! A great place for any occasion or just a night out with friends! Can’t wait to go back!”

“Great show!Adding that I just saw Spring Show - A Doomsday in the Life. Written by students, with Cast, Crew, Band, and Business aspects all done by Penn students. An original show which was very professional with comedy, singing, dancing, and even tap! Well worth a visit!”

“This was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back!! We celebrated a party here and the staff was so accommodating, helpful and so so nice. Justin took great care of us and we had so much fun.”

“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!”

“Where to start? Unfortunately, I'm writing this review late (6 months after getting married). But in return for writing it late we have gotten so much feedback from all of our friends and family who attended our wedding. To this day people still bring up our wedding saying it was fantastic, the aesthetic, decorations, food, drinks, music, everything. Falls Manor venue was a dream come true. When my husband (Matt) and I started looking at venues we both agreed on one thing. How the heck were we going to afford all of this? Between the venue, DJ, photographer, videographer, etc. We looked at venues in NJ (where we live currently) and almost everything started at $200 dollars per plate per person with a minimum of 200 or more people. And although we always loved the idea of having a wedding and a party to celebrate and have fun with all of our friends and families, we couldn't justify spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a 1 day event. Then we found Falls Manor. They were literally a dream come true. The price was right, it included everything from the food, drinks, planning tools and more. They gave us options to choose for enhancements to add to our package. Some examples were 1 free dance lesson at the dance studio, a sparkler send off, and their treasure chest. Their treasure chest was and is the best thing for a venue to offer! It contains every decoration you can think of from table centerpieces to signage for the cocktail hour area. So Matt and I didn't need to spend any extra money on decorations that we would never use again. We probably saved at least a couple thousand dollars by not having to worry about that and the best part is the team at Falls Manor sets up everything for you so all you have to do is show up. They are all so organized and friendly. I can't tell you how many times I emailed Brian or Sonya, but I'm sure it was enough to get annoying at times. But every single time I emailed them they answered within a day they made everything so easy from the day we booked them to the day we got married and always answered all my questions that I had. The food was also phenomenal and not just cocktail hour. Most people when they talk about food from venues is that the cocktail hour was great but the dinner service was okay. We had been to a lot of weddings in 2023 and Falls Manor had the best food out of all of them cocktail hour, dinner and dessert. Almost all of the guests agreed as well. Most people told us that at other weddings they'd been to that year the food was not hot or it was dried out and that Falls Manor was the only one they had gone to that had neither. Which is one of the most important things for people is the food. It makes me so happy to hear that they do events for certain holidays like Valentine's Day and also have baby showers now because I would 110% go back in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a venue that is gorgeous and not going to cost you an arm and a leg per person this is the venue for you. I wish I could go back in time and relive the day over and over for how smoothly everything went and how good all the food, drinks, music, etc. was. Thank you again to the whole team at Falls Manor and Brian and Sonya for everything you did to make our wedding magical!”

“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.”

“The place is fantastic and the staff was professional and on point with our event. Helpful courteous and always professional. I would definitely recommend this venue for any function you may have.”

“Shopping for wedding venues...Excellent. Nice atmosphere, presently doing some renovations, was shown some of the planned changes...nice. Great staff, excellent delicious food....I believe we have found the perfect place.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My husband and I got married here in October 2023 and from start to finish, the experience was amazing. When we came to visit the venue, we fell in love, and the price was very reasonable, especially for everything it includes! Every single staff member was so friendly and our guests still compliment us on how nice everyone was. The amount of food, and quality of food, was just incredible. I have nothing but positive things to say about the venue and staff. Truly a hidden gem. I hope one day my husband and I can attend a wedding here, so we can fully enjoy everything it has to offer.”

“I cannot express how amazing this concert was. From the halls of the beautiful temple, to the creative way each artist was represented through classical music. I will definitely be coming back for another show.”

“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!”

“We were there for a funeral luncheon. The food was great but the staff was exceptional. Could not have been nicer. I asked for a to go platter for my 90 year old Aunt. It was no problem. They gave her enough for 2 days. They were terrific.”

“We had an amazing experience with MEI, catering and Nick. My retirement party was planned by my friends, and although I was at the initial meeting, I had nothing to do with it after that. The place was decorated beautifully. The servers were practically invisible, and yes, one bartender was enough. Everyone said the food was delicious. Honestly, the dance floor is huge & I highly recommend this venue.”

“Best store on the avenue tons of cool antiques and very friendly and creative owner. Owner Sharisma was awesome and helpful with my selection for my sisters wedding”

“This place is amazing! I always make a run on Saturday mornings to pick up a few essentials - they’ve got everything from fruit, veggies, bread, soap, and other amazing vendors! Not only does it support local farmers but everything is fresh and delicious!”

“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”

“We have been to Bridgemen's Ballroom several times to cover photography over the years. We had the pleasure of documenting a beautiful wedding couple have their ceremony and reception there. I really love the modern look of the ballroom, the high ceilings and I like the added metal fixures on the chandeliers which gave them a more modern look. The room is very large and spacious and can hold a lot of guests. The gazebo ceremony was a lovely area as the sun was setting. The food was great, and the staff are so friendly, I especially loved working with the wedding coordinator who works really hard, I've met her before at another event. I look forward to coming to this location again to cover more photography events!”

“Venue was beautiful, spacious, and tables were perfectly laid out for our party. Owner was very friendly and professional. Our family looks forward to requesting this venue again for other events”

“I have been with the little gym for almost 11 years now, 1st with my 12 year old and now with my 15 month old daughter. The little gym has always been like family to us and we are so happy to be back ❤️.”

“This place was a GOD send! We were looking for somewhere intimate to have our micro-wedding. This place was beyond perfect! The owner Laura was the sweetest and most helpful. She also owns the kitchen next door so you have the option to order in-house catering. The place is already beautiful so we didn't have to decorate much. If you're looking for a space to host a nice intimate gathering... this is it!”

“Ellen and Barry were great to work with. The venue is beautiful and really made our vow renewal so much more special. The food was excellent, and the service staff all very professional and extremely helpful. I would recommend this hidden gem to anyone that wants their special day to POP!”

“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!”

“Played Bingo there with a member....the place is gorgeous inside!!! So historic, not really handicap accessible but since it's from the 1800s what do you expect.”

“We had our October wedding at the liberty view and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Britni and Colleen were extremely helpful with every detail, even with a parade and iffy weather that was going on that weekend. From the atmosphere to the food to the beautiful venue, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. The liberty view is the perfect venue for an intimate Philly style wedding.”

“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).”

“I went to Sunflower Philly recently for the Black Soul Summer party and loved it! What a beautiful community space perfect for joyful celebrations with art and music!”

“I truly loved having our 11.3.2023 reception at Front & Palmer. My husband and I eloped in Spain and wanted to showcase our time their through a party here. We originally had been communicating with Lini who left Front & Palmer shortly after we signed our contract. We were connected with Rlyee, who was absolutely amazing. She as so sweet and took notes of absolutely everything. The food was phenomenal! We had people rave our literally everything. The venue itself is like being in an art studio. The vibe is emaculate. The only feedback is really something that was forgotten, which was pulling back the hanging down string lights and curtains near the dance floor ( I specifically requested it because I really hate the look of it. Otherwise, I truly cannot complain. I would have the reception there again if I could. The service was amazing, the staff were kind, the food was literally to die for. Especially the mini tacos and short ribs *drool*. We had paid for 85 people and had 77 show up! Lots of space for easily 50 more people with room left over.”
