We got married at St. Thomas' Church a month ago and it was a beautiful day! Everything went seamlessly and Sharon was super helpful. I have attended St. Thomas' since I was a kid, so the space was very special and meant a lot to me. I would highly recommend getting married here. The floral crew was amazing and did a great job.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin? From the moment I started searching for a “micro wedding” venue, I kept coming up short—until I stumbled upon Elegant Celebrations. What an absolute hidden gem! If you’re looking for a small, intimate, and truly magical setting for your special day, this is the place to be. From our very first interaction, Liz—the fabulous owner—was attentive, kind, patient, and incredibly accommodating. She instantly understood my vision and did everything in her power to bring it to life. I was this close to being a “crazy bride,” but Liz’s calming presence, flexibility, and commitment to making everything perfect turned my stress into pure joy. She treated every detail with care and made me feel like my ideas truly mattered. The venue itself is stunning, spotless, and beautifully designed—but because I’m extra (and proud of it!), I wanted to add a few personal touches. Liz and her team not only welcomed my ideas with open arms, they helped bring them to life with such care and professionalism. I was included every step of the way, and it truly felt like a collaborative labor of love. I chose what I believe was called the Ultimate Package—which included early entry, access to the bridal suite, and a gorgeous presentation of fruit, donuts, orange juice, and water. Of course, I had to add my own sparkle to the bridal suite décor, and Liz let me do so with a smile and total support. On the day itself, Liz and her team ran the wedding like a perfectly orchestrated production. I honestly felt like royalty! Everything went off without a hitch, and the love and warmth in the air were palpable. It was everything I dreamed of—and more. And I cannot forget Jazmine, our wedding officiant! From the first phone call, we just clicked. She was warm, funny, intentional, and felt like an old friend I had known forever. She brought such grace and energy to the ceremony—it wouldn’t have been the same without her. Liz even did the unimaginable: she literally stopped traffic so I could get the perfect street photo. Who does that? Liz does—and it’s just one of the many reasons why she and her team will forever have a special place in my heart. If you’re thinking about booking Elegant Celebrations—do it. You’ll be in the best hands with people who genuinely care. Liz, Jazmine, and the entire team are rare gems in today’s world. I’m forever grateful for them and for the unforgettable memories they helped create.

Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting 
Philadelphia, PA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $950

Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting (CHFM) began with young adults who had served in Quaker war relief after World War I. Upon returning to Philadelphia, they sought a fresh, unified form of worship for their growing families. This brief history highlights the Meeting’s evolution—its founding, growth, challenges, and renewal—while honoring the dedicated individuals who nurtured it across a century. Rather than detailing membership records or finances, this overview focuses on key events, buildings, community efforts, and CHFM’s place within the broader Quaker tradition. The Centennial timeline draws from the 75th Anniversary history compiled by Shirley Phillips and others, and was completed by Steve Elkinton for the 100th Anniversary. Unless otherwise noted, records come from CHFM business meeting minutes housed at Haverford College’s Friends Historic Collection.
