My husband and I could not have had a better experience with a wedding venue. We were treated impeccably from our initial phone call, to our scheduled tour, communication leading up to the big day, and finally the wedding itself. Running Deer is truly a well-oiled machine and dependable in the way they run events. Everything was clearly communicated as far as wedding options and costs, with no hidden fees or marketing agendas. We can't thank Heather D., our day of coordinator, enough for the thoughtful and attentive service she provided to not only to my husband and I, but also to our parents. We felt taken care of the entire wedding day and never had to lift a finger to get our needs met. All of the staff leading up to and on the wedding day were professional and helpful, always open to answering questions and making us feel comfortable. Kate and Jessica were especially helpful in the planning process. We heard nothing but rave reviews from our wedding guests on how lovely the event was and how much fun they had on our wedding day. We attribute much of the success of our special day to how well Running Deer ran everything. If the service wasn't enough of a reason to book with them, it really helps how beautiful the venue itself is, with three different options of on site ceremony locations and a flexible, full proof rain plan. We were even allowed to use the grounds we did not choose for our ceremony for wedding photos, as there were no other weddings occurring on our day. On top of everything the food was so delicious, which is not something that is always guaranteed with weddings. We wouldn't change a thing from our wedding day experience with Running Deer.

We got married at Turkey Trac Farms in June of 2023 & I can easily say that it was the best decision we ever made. I look back at our wedding and I can truly say that I enjoyed every step of the experience because of how down-to-early, personable, and accommodating Miranda at Turkey Trac Farms is. It's so hard to find a place where you can custom plan your wedding day and have an unlimited number of options with vendors, personalization, and decor. We were able to choose our own caterer, DJ, photographer, photobooth, hair/makeup team, etc. We were allowed to bring our own decor and even had the night before to come decorate ourselves. And the best part, Miranda was there to help us every step of the way! She made sure our day went fully as planned, that we were taken care of with food and drinks throughout the night and really helped us ensure that our day would be everything we dreamed of. I cannot thank her enough for helping us create a day that we will forever remember and will forever be grateful for!

When looking for a venue, my fiance has been very particular. She has a certain look and style she is going for and would not bend toward the typical ballroom venues, that are still beautiful but not her specific style. When she found Bellevue Hall, she took a tour while I was at work and all she could talk about was how much she couldn't wait to show me the place to see for myself. I trusted her gut and booked without even seeing the place until months later for our tasting. Let me tell you, the food was out of this world and the venue was even more beautiful. Not only did we get to choose our menu while sitting in a mock reception set up, there was so much that they offered at the tasting from all of the appetizer stations, dessert stations, and the sit down part of dinner. It ran like the actual reception and left nothing for our imagination. I was BLOWN away. The venue itself is really beautiful too. It is a very nice estate with beautiful grounds. If you're looking for an estate wedding, where guests can utilize the entire wedding and aren't forced to stay in one or two rooms the whole time, this place is a must for you. Our planner is also great and very responsive with emails and phone calls. They are very thorough about pricing too and offer a lot of incentives. We're excited about our wedding in a few months!

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at the Carriage house! It has been taken over by Prime Hospitality catering who did an amazing job from start to finish! Our guests raved over the food, waitstaff, and bartenders! Katie and her team took care of every single aspect of our wedding which allowed my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party to be stress free and enjoy the day! I could go on and on about how amazing our wedding day was! Not a single thing went wrong, Katie and her team decorated the venue beautifully, the service was fantastic, and our guests continue to reach out about how beautiful the wedding venue was. It was better than I could’ve ever expected! I hope that the Carriage House starts to see an increase in weddings at their venue because they are truly amazing at their job! Katie coordinated and helped me with planning the wedding out from day 1. She worked relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure we had a great day. The food was the best wedding meal I have ever had and I’m not just saying that because I had my wedding here. The restaurant associated with the caterers “Brandywine Prime” makes amazing food. I will admit when initially wedding planning I was unsure of the carriage house due to the lack of online presence and photos of recent weddings. It is truly a hidden gem and definitely worth considering for your wedding day!!

*Please note, we booked Cedar Run for the ceremony only* One of the biggest takeaways we received from our wedding was how much everybody liked the ceremony. The beautiful view of the amphitheatre on the lake was absolutely gorgeous, and the weather held up beautifully! We paid extra for the animal ambassadors to make an appearance and it was worth every penny because they were a huge hit with wedding guests. We booked our reception hall first, so we needed a place that would allow us to do only our ceremony, and Cedar Run was the only place nearby that was affordable and actually gave us additional amenities for the cost. Not to mention your donation goes towards the upkeep of the facility and helping out the animals! We were also very big on having a backup plan just in case of inclement weather and they have at least two facilities that could work during rain. The lake, bridge, and woods all make for beautiful shots as you can see. The staff was great to work with and the animals are the cherry on top. Photo Credit: Cyan Blue Photography

My partner and I fell in love with Pentridge Station almost right away as customers — the friendly staff, the chill/homey vibe, and the welcoming atmosphere all helped us to feel a sense of community and belonging in a city that was new to us. When we finally decided to throw a wedding celebration after 2 years of being married (specifically a cook-out vibe, easy breezy celebration) it was a no brainer to reach out to Pentridge. That being said, it’s a pretty versatile space and can be dressed up or down depending on the kind of wedding you’re going for. We coordinated directly with the owners, Jocelyn and Ephream, who were both very thoughtful, sweet, and gracious throughout the entire process. Their flexible event rental options, list of recommended food vendors, and local DJs really helped to make us feel supported in our planning. Their bartending staff was attentive and wonderful. All of our guests - a mix of family from North Jersey, Maryland, and New York - were so impressed with the venue. For almost all of them it was their first time visiting us in West Philly, and having Pentridge Station be their introduction to the neighborhood and our life in Philadelphia felt incredibly special. We would highly recommend considering Pentridge if you’re looking to celebrate your love in a fun, community-driven space with TONS of heart and personality. You’d be hard pressed to find a better customer service experience anywhere else!

Our wedding day was something out of a dream, and my husband and I cannot stop talking about it over one month later. The Penn Museum was absolutely the highlight of our wedding. From the ceremony space (Sphinx gallery!), to our cocktail hour (Pepper Hall), dinner in the Chinese Rotunda, and dancing with the mummies… the whole thing was breathtaking from start to finish. It was everything I had imagined and I wish we could do it over and over again. Atiya was simply the best, and I know I will be reminiscing on this day for years to come.
