My fiancé and I were looking for a rustic wedding venue, not a ballroom, preferably a venue with space to be outside (weather permitting). We visited a few options in the Philly area and fell in love with the John James Audubon Center! The space offers SO many options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony. They host receptions in the pavilion which is open with huge windows and firepits outside! The site is beautiful, and everyone we’ve worked with has been immensely helpful! After officially booking for our October 2024 wedding, we planned to visit with our parents. What was originally intended to be a quick stroll around the grounds turned into an impromptu tour with the venue manage. She answered all of our parents' questions and even brought out photo books of previous weddings for us to flip through together. With the wedding right around the corner now, we could not be more thrilled with our decision and can't wait to be there next month to celebrate our big day!

From the first time we toured La Luna, Mark, Karen, and their staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and personable. They were patient and sweet with our parents, grandparents, and other family members, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure we were all on the same page about the vision for our wedding. They were able to accommodate our bicultural family with a bilingual DJ and menu items that were not listed on their menu, and everything at our reception was laid out with care and attention to detail. Our wedding party also stayed at the manor house for our entire wedding weekend, which was so much fun and so perfect!! We would absolutely recommend La Luna to anyone looking for an amazing place to host their special event, that is also reasonably priced and includes so much in their packages. Mark and Karen, we are also honored to share our wedding anniversary with you- thank you for working our wedding on your anniversary! :)

We chose Philmont for our 11/03/2023 wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the venue and the staff (special shout out to Ariel and Jimmy). We received so many compliments on how delicious the food was, which thrilled me and my husband to hear. Ariel was who I coordinated with for months, and she deserves all the good praise in the world. She was always helpful and responsive, which is key for a bride-to-be who is juggling the plethora of responsibilities and vendors prior to the big day. She was absolutely a key member of the team to ensure everything with smoothly, and had endless patience for my many questions. I would recommend her to anyone. With the recent construction going on outside the venue, my husband and I were filled with trepidation as that was something that started up a few months before our wedding day, but the staff truly went above and beyond to make sure that was nothing but a hiccup on the day. We received so much praise for the venue and the outdoor ceremony space, and our guests stated that everything was beautiful. Jimmy was incredible during our Tasting, and helped us pick the perfect menu for our guests. We chose the plated option (Filet, Tuscan Chicken, and Honey-Soy Salmon), and their Honey-Soy Salmon was a massive hit with myself and the guests who ordered it. We also heard endless compliments for the appetizers and stations serviced during cocktail hour. Jimmy was a huge help to us when it came to picking the perfect menu, and was also an excellent Day-Of coordinator. He made sure everything was running smoothly on the wedding day, and helped our rather large party line up and walk for the ceremony. The staff here are truly what made this experience incredible, and it's thanks to them that we had our perfect day.

The Knowlton Mansion was the perfect wedding venue, offering a stunning blend of historical charm and modern elegance in a convenient location. The food was exceptional, with our guests raving about the delicious cuisine. The staff at The Knowlton Mansion were an absolute pleasure to work with. From our initial contact with Eileen, we knew we were in good hands. She was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all our questions and accommodating our requests with grace and professionalism. On the day of our wedding, Rebecca, the day-of manager, was a true superhero. She seamlessly coordinated the setup and breakdown of the decor, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Rebecca's attentiveness to our needs as a couple was remarkable, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. In addition, we greatly appreciated their straightforward and transparent pricing structure. They made the financial aspect of wedding planning simple and easy to understand. In short, from the breathtaking beauty of the mansion itself to the incredible food, attentive staff, and straightforward pricing, every aspect of our experience was exceptional. Eileen, Rebecca, and the entire team at the Knowlton Mansion played a crucial role in making our wedding day a true fairytale.

I couldn’t imagine our wedding be this perfect. The country club was beautiful and we loved all the photos we have of our special day. We get compliments all the time on how beautiful everything looked. Joe and his team went above and beyond to make our dream wedding came true. John, the head chef delivered delicious food all through the night. The venue was beautiful but what made it truly special was how much Joe and his team genuinely cared about making our wedding dream become reality.

Loved everything about this venue, from the gorgeous green space to the 1920s-30s architecture to the very convenient pavilion. Payton, the events coordinator, was a breeze to work with. They also allowed our dog to be part of the big day, which was an important criteria for us. Would recommend AAC for your wedding!
