“Ceremony off site but reception at terrain! And I meannnnn, idk, what can’t I say about them?! Everything, and I mean everything, was amazing. Guests raved about how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was (shoutout to the chefs!), drinks were amazing (people said the espresso martini was the best they’ve ever had!), and just their overall experience. I don’t have enough adjectives to describe how great the day was. My husband and I’s experience was also amazing from the moment we toured. We got Eileen as our event manager and she truly needs a review of her own but hands down the best person ever, she was so organized, and also very personable. She literally handled any and all hiccups that happened along the way (like when my photobooth didnt show up) and she found a solution instantly, I am so grateful for her. Fernanda my wedding attendant was also amazing, whole staff honestly was great. Terrain was the most perfect reception space for us and we (along with all of our guests) wish we could do it all over again!! It was truly the best day. Will be coming back to the cafe for many anniversary years to come ?”

“The Ballroom at Ellis Preserve was everything we could have dreamed of and more for our wedding day. From the very beginning, our wedding coordinator, Jordan made us feel genuinely cared for, paying attention to every detail and making the planning process feel effortless every step of the way. As the big day approached, Nikki, our incredible maître d’, was our calm in the chaos. She ensured everything ran flawlessly and allowed us to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment without stress. Her assistant Ashley and our bridal attendant Sydney were beyond attentive, constantly checking in and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. On top of all of that, our guests are still raving about the food — from cocktail hour to dinner, everything was absolutely amazing and exceeded expectations. The level of love, care, and professionalism shown by the entire team is something we will never forget. We truly couldn’t recommend this venue more — it made our wedding day absolutely perfect.”

“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.”

“We have had our high school swim team banquet in the VIP room for the past 9 years and it's always a big hit! All the swimmers and their families, especially the little brothers and sisters, enjoy all the games and the fun atmosphere. Being able to bring our own food and beverages makes it affordable. We have also had a few graduation parties in the VIP room and again, everyone has a great time and loves having fun while celebrating!”

“A lovely venue with warm and caring staff!

The team here is phenomenal. I honestly felt like I was being cared for by my own family before and the day of our wedding. Jenn is hands down the sweetest, most down to earth and no nonsense planner ever - ensuring our day went smoothly. If there were any snags in the day, I wouldn't know because Jenn had it handled already!

I also feel grateful for her little pep-talk before I walked down the aisle - calmed the nerves easily.

The food is fantastic and plentiful and I'm still hearing praise from the guests about the food. My nephews figured out how to maximize cocktail hour apps, finding a cozy little spot by the kitchen - ready to pounce on the next platter that went out!

Our attendant Karen, was so kind in making sure myself and my husband were well fed. My family and guests felt so cared for by all the catering staff - I wish I had gotten all their names, because they deserve all the recognition!

Kevin and Jenn (& co.) made sure the dinner service went on without any difficulties - and with some well fed guests, everyone was ready to dance and party the night away. Our guests really enjoyed the unique location and feel of the space - made more lovely by all the people in it.

I highly recommend this venue for any soon to be wed couples out there!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Attending my daughter's graduation at The Tower Theater was a memorable experience. The venue's historic charm added a unique touch to the celebration. 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!”
