“My husband and I booked with Parque in Feb 2022 for August 2024. Fallyn gave us a tour and was extremely knowledgeable. We went on to have Lindsay as our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! She jumped in 6-7 months out and was helpful, I truly cannot rave about her enough. Parque has wedding planning services included which is very rare for wedding venues. But I absolutely see why it’s a must, there’s a reason why brides and grooms have a wonderful experience here! Not to mention the beautiful backdrop and landscape. I wish I could relive this day 1000 times and we owe it to Parque!”

“We just had our son's and daughter-in-law's wedding reception at the beautiful Merion Tribute House. It was a misty fall day with colorful leaves falling and bright yellow mums and grasses dotting the veranda and grounds with pops of color and wistfulness. The staff members were easy to work with; a special shout out to Matt who was so kind and helpul when I dropped everything off a few days before and picked things up the day after. Their preferred caterer, John Serock Catering is top notch.”

“Terrain Gardens is a stunning venue that perfectly catered to our every need. It felt just right for our wedding with around 90 guests with both beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that were easily customizable to align with our needs. We played lawn games during the cocktail hour and reception, and we were able to tailor our reception floor plan to create an atmosphere that truly reflected us. We opted to add many florals through Design by Terrain, but even with fewer decorations, it would still feel complete.

The food was standout and was a highlight for us and our guests. The steamed broccoli hors d'oeuvre may sound simple, but it became a crowd favorite. The gazpacho shooters also were a hit. Our grazing table was not only plentiful and delicious but also looked gorgeous! The entree options were delicious as well and received many compliments. Everyone loved the flower pot bread! We found at our tasting there was a lot of variety from more traditional options to more experimental options so most couples can find something that will fit them. The venue took our guests' dietary needs seriously, accommodating our best man's severe allergies with ease. The signature drink, late-night pizza, and cookie favors were also a huge hit!

The staff at Terrain Gardens was exceptional. We worked closely with our venue coordinator, Olivia, for six months leading up to the wedding. She addressed every question and eased all our concerns. On the big day, the staff was polite, attentive, and hardworking. Our attendant, Stephanie, made sure we were never without food or drink and guided us seamlessly throughout the day. The bar staff was quick and efficient, and our signature cocktail received rave reviews.

What truly sets Terrain apart is their commitment to ensuring that both the bride and groom enjoy their special day just as much as their guests. After the ceremony, we were escorted to the bridal suite, where we were greeted with a delightful display of our hors d'oeuvres and a mini version of our grazing table. This moment allowed us to unwind and savor a few precious minutes together before rejoining our guests—one of my favorite memories from the day. At the end of the night, the staff thoughtfully packaged our personal items and provided to-go boxes filled with an extra serving of each of our entrees.”

“This has been my 5th project at busy Bee’s, and I couldn’t recommend it enough! I come all the way from Philly just to work on projects here. What I love is that there are so many mediums to play with. It was my first time working with glass fusing and I love it! It’s so easy to drop in and work on a project. This is also a really great place for making custom gifts for loved ones— the perfect excuse to be creative! I’ve also brought a group of friends here. This place is awesome for a date, for a meet up with friends, for families, for solo work, or for special occasions. And the team here is so lovely too. Thank you Busy Bees!!”

“Just an unbelievable wedding venue for taking photos. Right on train tracks, tons of old stone and brick. Even a black iron gate that gives off a New Orleans feel. Right in the heart of Manayunk. What a great wedding shoot last night and I look forward to the next one. * Vincent Foschini - Owner, Foschini Photography”

“My family and I did a search for a new church years ago. We were so happy to find the people and worship of St. Mary’s Ardmore! Truly this is a church that teaches, provides opportunities, and participate fully in the community. Yes, the people here “walk the walk” in their worship, involvement, discussion, and welcome. It is an inclusive, involved church that gives us the opportunities and information to participate in community, interfaith, and church actions to love and support others.”

“Last summer my fiancé, Mom and I toured Ridgeland Mansion and we fell in love with it immediately. We had our wedding this past Saturday, 8/30/25. The mansion is the Cancer Support Community of Greater Philadelphia and is truly a hidden gem.

A few things that stood out to us:
• Location – It’s right in Philly, tucked away in West Fairmount near The Mann, but does not feel like you’re anywhere near the city. We wanted close to where we live and our families but not a city feel.
• Flow – The layout was so natural. You enter from one side and move through the spaces as the evening goes on—it just makes sense and feels effortless.
• Privacy – Only one wedding happens at a time, which meant the entire property was ours for the day. We had the mansion (where we got ready), the barn, and the tented reception space.
• Hospitality – From the very beginning, Jenn was such a joy to work with. We shared our budget and she went above and beyond to make our day truly amazing. Her entire team deserves a shout-out too—every single person was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more special.

We also held our rehearsal dinner at the venue, the night before, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free on the wedding day.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was—it was the perfect place to celebrate, and Jenn and her team made it unforgettable.”

“Bette’s is a great indoor place for kids! They make throwing a birthday party there incredibly easy by assigning a party host to you who sets up, cleans up and fixes all of the “uh-oh’s” seamlessly. I would highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend! Booked the Kitchen Workshop as a team building event while colleagues were in for a Leadership Team Off-Site. Art and his team were informative and fun! There were some last minute dietary restrictions for half of the group and Art rolled with it and was sure to not only accommodate them, but make something they LOVED! One colleague said it was his FAVORITE event of the week - and one he will remember for a lifetime. Thank you, Art!!”

The intimate setting allowed for a close connection to the moment, and the acoustics were excellent, ensuring that every word spoken and note played resonated beautifully. The staff was accommodating, contributing to the smooth flow of the event. Overall, The Tower Theater provided a fitting backdrop for this special occasion, making it a cherished memory for our family.”

“I rented the Saturday Club as our wedding venue. Dennice handled the process of our rental perfectly, and when she was unable to give us a tour prior to renting, Lindsey was able to show us around. The building is great, and old as well. We hosted about 60 people at our wedding on a Sunday and it went great! Ruben, the event manager was awesome and even helped me with some quick panic breathing exercises right before the wedding ceremony. Also, for a nice building with a large kitchen for catering, the price was unbeatably low. Very well worth the money!”

“Great place to go and rest or hold quiet gatherings or conferences. The rooms are a bit outdated, but they make it up by serving some delicious food. Some of the greens they grow themselves and the yogurt and granola they make in house and it's absolutely delicious. The barn worship space is lovely and the vibe is very friendly.”

“We are absolutely thrilled with everyone at Artesano Iron Works. I approached them about making a unqiue set of andirons as a surprise for my husband. The process of figuring out a tricky design was fun and extremely well-managed. The andirons themselves are gorgeous and exactly what we dreamed of. Every aspect of the project was a pleasure, with responsive, kind, and fast professionals through every step of the process. We'd do another project with them in a heartbeat!”

“Awesome spot to host a medium size party - 30-50 people! Full kitchen with two ovens/ranges, bar area, and plenty of space for tables and chairs. Searched all over the area (we were coming from the Manayunk/Roxborough area) and had a hard time finding anything nice where we could bring our own food. Look no further for an affordable Hall rental that looks so sweet! Bring all your own food and drinks, etc. No hidden fees. The hall rental manager, Rick, was so easy to work with and accommodating!
The only tough thing is the parking. They can fit maximum 27 cars and you have to block people in. For the price, though, it can’t be beat! Thank you for offering an affordable option for us to host a luncheon for our daughter‘s christening.
The kids all loved the creek out back. In nicer weather you could do an indoor/outdoor party for sure.”
