Our wedding at Ridgecrest at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn was everything we wanted and more! We couldn't imagine a more perfect weekend even if we tried. Our planner, Alex, was an absolute DREAM to work with from start to finish and made the process feel less scary and seamless. She was always available when needed, never missed a detail and always made us feel welcome and warm. Even on wedding day she was on top of her game and made sure everything was perfect for us no matter what obstacles came our way. All of our guests raved about the venue, food and service.

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 moment I reached out to Debbi the event coordinator to set up a tour, to my incredible wedding day, I knew Spring Hollow was the right choice. Finding an elegant venue for a 75 guest wedding was a challenge, as many venues in the area cater to larger events only. I was so relieved when we first toured Spring Hollow, and we quickly decided it would be "the one". I would encourage anyone in the same boat to read about my experience below. The joy and enthusiasm Debbi brought to the planning process was a gift to experience- especially with the challenge of us living several states away. She spoke with and met my parents who lived locally -several times- to work through details. She was always responsive to communications and encouraged us to ask questions. The venue itself was wonderful- the ballroom is two stories tall with unique windows full of light. The ceremonies are held in a picturesque clearing, with a huge white pergola framed by trees and a pond. All of his made for awesome photos throughout the day. We had our cocktail hour in the restaurant and bar next to the ballroom. The charge to rent the restaurant was reasonable and so worth it. The food was delicious and service was on point- we received many compliments on the venue and food from our guests. The groom and I also appreciated the well appointed bridal suites upstairs, where there was plenty of room for our parties to get ready and refresh. The day was seamless and one of the best days of my husband and my life. We will always remember and appreciate the work that Spring Hollow staff, and Debbi put into making our day a success!

Our wedding at The Rivet was everything we could have hoped for and more. From start to finish, the experience was flawless, thanks in large part to Meisee and her incredible team. She was attentive, organized, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Throughout months of planning, she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance, and on the wedding day, her support was invaluable. The Rivet was incredibly flexible and accommodating, allowing us to access the venue early to set up and even letting us return the next day to collect our decorations. This level of care and understanding made the process so much easier and stress-free. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous—unique, stylish, and the perfect setting for our intimate wedding of about 100 guests. The atmosphere was lively, and the dance floor was packed all night.

Nick My husband and I could not have asked for a better person to lead the day. Nick was so attentive and responsive throughout the entire process, incredibly helpful on the day of (carried my shawl, my flowers, lifted my train throughout the golf course for photos), he helped all night long with bringing out food, serving drinks, and made sure we were taken care of. I mentioned how I wanted all of the decor in the venue, he nailed it perfectly. Nick made our entire experience seamless and memorable. We love you, Nick! The Loft recently went through some renovations and they are beautiful. It gives a barn vibe that's homey and welcoming. I loved the Christmas tree during the holidays, and Nick removed any holiday decor that I didn't like. They also renovated the bridal suite and it was a great size. Everything went so smoothly and our guests were raving about the service and experience. We could not recommend the Loft enough!

Since this was the 4th wedding for our family, having 4 daughters, we had a good idea of what we wanted and how we wanted it executed. During the planning session, we discussed with Jeff our needs and desires and with minor modifications he was able to do everything we waned in the way we wanted it done. This was in contrast to previous experiences where we had to modify things to meet the venues requirements. On the night before the event, wedding outside, reception inside, we were forced to move everything inside due to the weather. Jeff handled the move of locations without a hitch. When it came to the event the food was fantastic, the service was great and attention to detail was phenomenal. The cake supplied by the Inn was beautiful and absolutely delicious, with different flavored layers. All of this was done for what we considered to be a very reasonable price. We would highly recommend the Inn to anybody looking for a cozy and charming venue.

We are in AWE of RiverCrest!! I don't even know where to start with a review for them because they truly were perfect and above and beyond what we could have imagined. From the beginning, Michelle L. helped us on our wedding planning journey. She is extremely kind, honest, and talented. She helped us select all the major items (food, setup, etc) and all the way down to the little details (table linens, signs, etc). She always gave us her honest opinion and helped us make informed decisions for our wedding. It can be hard to navigate planning a wedding, but Michelle L. made is so seamless and truly effortless. We were able to do a food tasting and bring our parents. We were all blown away by not only the food, but the service. Everyone at RiverCrest is friendly and kind and that followed through on the wedding day as well. Leading up to the big day, Michelle L. was constantly in contact with us, making sure we had everything we needed. She does so much behind the scenes work and makes it look so effortless. On the wedding day, we were BLOWN AWAY with how organized and helpful the staff at RCGC was. They took care of us from the second we arrived to the second we left. From bringing us anything we needed in the bridal suite to setting everything up exactly as we wanted, they truly were a dream team. They were so seamless and organized when it came to the schedule throughout the day. We had no questions because they truly were ahead of everything. We worked with Angela later in the day and she was phenomenal!! She brought us food from our cocktail hour because we couldn't go and truly made sure we were taken care of the entire night. At the end of the night, the RCGC team had packed everything up for us and had it ready to load into our cars. They literally thought of EVERYTHING! Our guests still cannot stop talking about beautiful the day was and that is largely due to the RiverCrest staff. What an amazing team. We really can't thank them enough! If you are looking for a wedding venue with an incredible team, please book RiverCrest!!

The Manor House at Springton Manor Farm was absolutely a wonderful venue that I would recommend to anyone. Not only are the views breathtaking and the manor house is gorgeous, but the tent and ceremony spaces are perfect. You can really make it any way that you want and the venue is so aesthetically pleasing that you really don’t need too much decor to make your day look beautiful. Throughout the whole event, our guests couldn’t stop saying how nice the venue was and how beautiful everything looked. On top of this, we never had a hard time communicating with those who manage the property (Queen of Hearts Catering) and they always ensured that we were happy with the plan and how our day went. We worked with Kelly Tobin and we couldn’t thank her enough for how perfect our day was. There was so much flexibility and you could add features as you pleased to fit your vision. Finally (and arguably what I was most worried about) was the food that QOH provided. We got a Casual and Fun package which did not come with a tasting and it simply didn’t disappoint. The food was a great quality and there was plenty of it. Our guests also loved the cocktail hour and dinner and especially couldn’t stop talking about the mac n cheese bar! Overall, this venue was the real deal. My husband and I feel like we couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate with our friends and family.

I don’t even know where to start. My daughter and her fiancé were determined to have their wedding at a zoo. After reviewing several possibilities they chose the Elmwood Park Zoo, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you choose to get married at a zoo, animal interaction is one of the top priorities and the Elmwood Park zoo did not disappoint. We chose to include the giraffe feeding for all of our guests along with six different animal encounters throughout the evening. The guest were thrilled. The zoo also offered a variety of different locations for the ceremony and the cocktail hour which was nice to have options. We then chose the Canyon Garden for the reception which was lovely. They recently added a bridal suite which was a nice bonus. The only downside is that there is no adjoining bathroom and outside food was not allowed when the bridal party was getting ready. Perhaps at some point in the future, they will offer a light snack menu. The zoo also offers an extensive menu for both the cocktail hour and the reception. The food was very good and the caterers accommodated our requests for special dietary needs. I have to say we were very high maintenance. We had a specific design vision with many moving parts . In addition, my daughter added several specialized elements to the evening… A peanut butter and jelly unity ceremony , a memory bouquets for loved ones no longer with us and their 2 large dogs participating in the ceremony to name a few! In many ways we pushed the envelop and the zoo met every challenge. We did decide to hire a Day of Coordinator (Lauren from IDoInvites was phenomenal), but the the star of the zoo was Becky Bell who is their Event Manager. I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful she is. Her attention to detail was incredible. She made everything look easy.. and trust me it wasn’t! We had a lot going on ! She always had a smile and never got ruffled no matter what issue or change we requested. She is a true professional, and I attribute her to making the evening a success. As I mentioned we also hired Lauren from IDoInvites as our coordinator and she and Becky were in total sync. What a dynamic duo these two were. I would highly recommend the Elmwood Park Zoo for any upcoming event.
