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.

We worked with Rylee at F&P to coordinate our day. It was incredibly convenient to have catering and the venue in one and as a catering company first, F&P showcased some amazing food. The staff was also incredibly generous with their time and we were able to use the venue for some other meetings during our planning process. They made us feel welcome all throughout the process, not just on the day. They accommodated all of our dietary and kashrut restrictions without any concern or complaint. I believe one of our guests tripped over a light during some overly intense dancing - no fault of the venue, very much a fluke - and we had no idea on the day. The worked their magic so quickly, we only got to laugh about it later.

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. We hosted two ceremonies (Hindu & Christian) followed by our reception all in one day. Rylee and Terry ensured that everything ran smoothly and worked closely with myself and our wedding planners the year leading up to the event. The food was amazing and we heard from many of our guests that the flow of the event was perfect and that the venue was beautiful. Leading up, I had concerns that the venue may feel too small / cramped for our nearly 200 guests, however it ended up being the perfect size with a nice balance of feeling intimate without feeling too small. Lastly, while our room blocks were in old city and we had shuttles running to and from the event, my bridal party and I ended up staying at Archway Fishtown, which was the perfect place to get ready, allowing us to walk to the venue and take pictures along the way. Wish I could re-live the weekend and hope to one day attend another event at F&P!

We recently had our wedding at Front & Palmer and highly recommend this venue. Everyone knows the food is amazing, but so is the staff. They were very helpful and available with planning and very attentive the day of to make sure we were well taken care of. The space is unique and they seamlessly transitioned the space from our ceremony to cocktail hour to reception space. They helped make our special day even more special.

We recently had our cocktail hour and reception at Front and Palmer! We were absolutely blown away with how amazing the night turned out. Every little detail was perfection and exactly what we had envisioned for our wedding night. Rylee was so responsive and was so easy to work with leading up to our day. She helped execute our vision and allowed for a seamless evening. We will never forget our wedding night!! If you're looking to have a top notch party in a room full of character, YOU NEED consider Front and Palmer!!!

We recently got married at Front & Palmer and had the most amazing experience. The venue itself is very different and not a traditional ballroom. From the exposed beams, white wash brick, beautiful hardwood floors, and raw edge wood accents everything is just perfect. The staff was incredible so attentive they very much care about making your night everything you wanted it to be. They use local alcohol brands which we loved but you are welcome to purchase whatever else it is you may want. Their packages were reasonable compared to other Philadelphia venues but the food surpasses any other venue I have ever been to. We upgraded a lot of our food (raw bar, lamb chops, crabcakes) and it was well worth it. All of our guests spoke so highly of the venue, food, drinks, and staff. We were told it was the best wedding that anyone has ever been to multiple times. Our coordinators were absolutely perfect and we loved them. They were so helpful every step of the way and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. When there was any issues they came up with solutions that we were very pleased with. Rylee, Terri, and Anthony were such a pleasure to work with I wish I could do it again. I work as a bridal hair and make up artist and I hear so many stories about how couples are dissatisfied with their planners or venues. We are so happy we picked Front & Palmer. If great food, good drinks, and a romantic ambiance are what your looking for then I highly recommend booking your wedding here.

This venue is a little hard to get to. The streets are very tight in this neighborhood. Once inside the venue things got better. The meal was good, and the live musicians were all very talented.

Hosted a friend’s wedding at my home so I can’t get credit for finding this terrific caterer! The lead people visited several times, knew exactly what the bride wanted (which was a wedding ceremony in the round under a big tent, followed by dinner in the exact same spot)! This meant pre-setting 9 tables in the yard…and moving them in place while guests were milling around underfoot, and appetizers were being served at the same time!!! A beautiful happy cacophony! The 12 person crew worked harmoniously and continually - seemingly without need for direction…The bar was humming with expected activity, music was playing, and carefully, with at least 3 glasses per guest, ( the glassware so beautiful, it was almost like a table decoration!) tables of 8-10 were being carried to each location, and all done magically! In plain sight but almost surreptitiously! Not a glass fell!You MUST order the crab cakes which Nick made sure I had ‘almost’ my fill of, and some interesting and delicious rice paper veggie thing! Jackson at the bar, kindly let me cut the line to serve soft drinks to the DJ.The dinner vegetarian option was some out- of -this -world mushroom stuffing wrapped in pasta. Oh my!They professionally rearranged my kitchen to move in long tables for their use, we’re unfailingly polite and kind and even friendly as they were in the midst of plating 75 salads when I barged in the kitchen for tape or scissors or my make -up or some last needed item.The kitchen clean up was superb, Lynette made sure we didn’t need services any more when the last of the crew left.They might do 4 lawn parties a year and loads of venues. They took care of ordering glasses, tablecloths, plates and the like from the Party Center rental place, and in short, took a lot of stress and worry from the hosts.Kudos every one of you!!

We cannot say enough great things about our wedding at Front & Palmer. Lini, the event coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with. From the day we toured the venue, she had an answer to our many questions and made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with (despite having many!). The food and service are both top-notch, the servers were so attentive and our guests raved about the food. With so many of the same overdone wedding venues in the city, Front & Palmer was a breath of fresh air for both us and our guests. We were told many times it was the best wedding our guests had been to. Thanks Lini and the FYE/F&P team for making our wedding so special. 10/10 recommend!

During this period of social isolation, Feast Your Eyes' catering/takeout service has been fantastic. It has been such a treat to be able to enjoy their food from the comfort of my own home. Not only do I not have to cook, but I am eating five-star quality food! Having had my wedding and reception at Front & Palmer five years ago, it's been so special to be able to eat some of the same food as a treat/memory.The pho is especially phenomenal, both as takeout and as a pho dinner when social isolation restrictions are lifted.
