Drumore Mill is a different world. It is nestled in a corner of the most rustic township in Amish Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1752 as a sawmill and a grist mill. It sits in a hollow with 30 acres of tall cliffs and old trees to provide privacy, warmth, and natural beauties. There is a pristine creek that meanders through the property. The Fishing Creek supports native trout and other rare small fishes. The waterfall is adjacent to the buildings. There is a hiking trail within the property. There is wetland and much more. The combination of rustic setting, natural beauties, and historical features makes Drumore Mill amazingly beautiful. One has to see it to believe it.

Drumore Mill was an absolutely stunning venue to use for our special day (really weekend). We loved the ease of booking the venue, touring with Thuy, and the promptness and flexibility they offer. An added bonus is the available on site lodging for rental, which we made great use of for our close friends, family, and wedding party to stay in the night before and night of the wedding. We enjoyed the Great Room in the Grist Mill for our rehearsal dinner. Our guests loved how spacious Drumore Mill was, and we appreciated all the attention to detail such as included (but still optional) decor and greenery, and the setup of chairs and other items for the ceremony space. Being able to bring in all of our own vendors at no additional cost was fantastic. The value for renting the property from Thursday to Saturday morning was unmatched and completely worth it. We would recommend Drumore Mill to anyone, and we look forward to booking the property in the future for non-wedding related stays with friends and family.

The venue is absolutely stunning, with a ton of amazing spots to take stunning photos!

All of the staff is very well trained, and were wonderful with our guests. my bridesmaids and I also got ready at the venue and it was such a nice morning filled with attentive staff, a huge area to get ready, and amazing food and beverages!

Such an incredible experience! We're still getting compliments months after the wedding. Everyone had a blast with the animals; from the giraffe feeding, to the skunk ambassador, to the jaguar at the cocktail hour. But the non-animal aspects were just as fantastic! Staff was beyond supportive, they truly went above and beyond to make sure things went well and that we were relaxed and happy. The food and drinks were incredible (I hear - I didn't get the chance to enjoy much myself!), staff was all out of this world, the ceremony location was perfect, the reception hall is beautiful all lit up, and all of our photos look gorgeous with the zoo as a backdrop. From the booking the date to cementing the details, to the tasting night, to the vendor list and partnered cake bakery, they made planning our wedding (the parts that they were responsible for, at least!) seamless. Ten out of ten!

Today the 100-year-old structure hosts downtown Philadelphia’s most timeless weddings, from the airy 12-story chamber where couples recite their vows to the well-appointed wedding suite tucked away in the spacious, delicately detailed cocktail hour mezzanine. When it comes time to dance and dine, custom draperies and lighting transform the atrium to an intimate ballroom — and a canvas for decor both tastefully simple or ornately embellished. A full on-site kitchen, newly installed by Constellation, ensures a fresh, delicious culinary experience for guests at very morsel.

The Curtis Atrium is a wedding venue unlike any other! The space is huge, right in the heart of the city, and walkable to local hotels and so many historic sites. The room speaks for itself—you need very minimal decor. The high ceilings, stunning floors, and beautiful water fountain make it breathtaking, and the double staircase and balcony create an epic entrance for the reception. Constellation Catering nailed it with the food—our guests couldn’t stop raving about both cocktail hour and dinner, especially the grilled short rib. The staff was also incredible, so pleasant and extremely hardworking. Kumbah, who came on as head of catering during our planning, wasn’t always the most responsive, but she absolutely killed it on the day of the wedding—have trust in her. One tip: make sure to ask for a list of alcohol for the bar or send them exactly what you want ahead of time. Overall, The Curtis Atrium is a dream location for a wedding, and our day was exactly that!

We held our wedding reception at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel in November 2024 as well as hosted our wedding room block. We'd highly recommend for both! We have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about Andreea Denes with catering. We've worked with Andreea for about a year and a half now and she feels like family! Andreea is both professional and personable and ensured we knew all our options for a reception at the Loews. Andreea helped us take advantage of all the amazing event spaces the Loews has to offer (cocktail hour on the 33rd floor, reception in the Millennium Hall, after party in Bank & Bourbon) as well as created a custom package for our reception and cocktail hour that reflected everything we could have wanted. Maria and Lena with the room reservation teams were so wonderful to work with, taking amazing care of our families and accommodating all our changes and requests. The entire Loews staff (catering, concierge, front desk, etc) was absolutely wonderful during our stay. Our guests are still commenting on the exceptional service. About a third of our wedding guests stayed at the Loews and expressed it was the perfect location to spend the weekend exploring Philadelphia.

Hotel Monaco was the perfect place for our wedding. It had the convenience of a hotel in the city but outdoor beauty with the garden across the street for our ceremony and the rooftop deck for our cocktail hour, and the design of the hotel is artistic and unique. Katie Killman is a fantastic coordinator and the entire staff was lovely during the weekend, from Sage the bellhop who was so helpful multiple times with all our luggage and requests, to the server for the sweetheart table who was so attentive to my husband and I, to the bartenders at the wedding who greeted my husband and I by name, . The corner suites are perfect for getting ready and photographs; the food was delicious; and we loved that everything was dog friendly so our dog could be part of this important weekend!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Warwick Hotel is an historic Philadelphia landmark that combines both an incredible location right off of Rittenhouse Square and picturesque architecture and design making it an ideal spot of weddings and other events. David Lyons, the Banquet Manager, is the definition of "not all heroes wear capes." Our story is unique in that our original wedding venue flooded three days before our party. In a frenzy, we called every venue we could find. When my wife spoke with David, he was calm and collected, got our information, and promptly looked into hosting our event. When he called us back saying it was possible, we went to see the space. He put together an estimate before we arrived and we signed on the spot after a brief tour. David has tons of experience with weddings and events and his confidence to put on our party in such a short turn around gave us the calm we needed to enjoy our special day. He even matched a lot of the original food options we were offering at our original venue. The landmarks nearby offer a variety of nice backdrops not to mention the space itself for fun photos. The main ballroom is a great size for a large band, great size dance floor, food stations or a sit down meal and a large guest list. As the bride and groom we were also given a complimentary stay in the presidential suite! A much needed rest after the stress and excitement leading up to our event. We had an emergency and David put out the fire and went above and beyond to make our event run smoothly. I can't say thank you enough to David and the staff at the Warwick for saving our wedding party!

My sister got married at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia this year and it was seriously so much fun! The separate spaces for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing made it really unique and a great experience for all of our guests. While my aunts and uncles needed a break from dancing, they could go into the reading room and relax with a cocktail in hand. The food provided by Jeffrey A. Miller Hospitality Group was INCREDIBLE!!! They offered so much. Between the hanging pretzels and guacamole bar and oysters, to dinner service of delicious choices, to dessert including beignets and cannolis, we were stuffed by the end! And to top it all off we my sister was able to host her after party just downstairs in their speakeasy lounge. I would highly suggest anyone getting married to look at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia for their wedding!

The Arts ballroom is truly a gem hidden in the heart of center city Philadelphia. They truly made our wedding night a dream come true. We were showered with compliments in the moment and afterwards about the exceptional service and how this venue provided "the best wedding people have ever attened". The arts ballroom owner and staff treat you as a person truly celebrating an important moment rather than just a costumer they are getting money from . The food is beyond exceptional. Seriously , delicious and more than you can ever imagine. There is something for legitimately EVERYONE. The ballroom is gorgeous, and required limited resources to make it shine. Their all-inclusive package made wedding planning SO much easier, to the point I could enjoy the process rather than stress over it. I can give nothing but praise to this venue , and would recommend it in a heart beat for anything planning a Philadelphia based wedding.
