If you're looking to host a festive meal at an Indian restaurant in Philadelphia, Sura Indian Bistro is the perfect choice. We recently hosted a rehearsal dinner for about 35 guests and were thrilled with the results. Kiran, the General Manager, was professional and added a personal touch to every detail. She meticulously handled the menu and paid special attention to those with food allergies, who later commented that no other restaurant had been so considerate of their dietary needs, especially with such a large group. Sura's fabulous drinks menu set a convivial tone for our gathering. The space we used was elegantly separated by a discreet and pretty curtain, providing privacy for our event. The staff was attentive and took great care of us. Thank you, Kiran and the Sura staff, for helping us celebrate a wonderful evening!

We got married at Osteria July 2024 and it was the most magical experience. Communication with the whole team throughout the whole process was easy, and Fiona offered so much helpful guidance in navigating and planning the day as a bride with no wedding planner/coordinator. Between the food, cocktails, greenhouse, and overall intimate ambiance it was the best decision we could have made to starting our life together, as we now have a place to go for all of our future celebrations.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Cicala as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. If feeding your guests an incredible meal is a priority for you like it was for us, you won’t regret hosting your event here. Our friends and family have been raving about the food and gorgeous atmosphere, and the friendly, hard working staff made our wedding a dream come true. Cicala is able to work with you to make your event uniquely yours, but at the same time, we’re delighted that our event was uniquely Cicala. Memorable is a guarantee. Their event coordinator, Dawn, was fabulous throughout the planning process and I was impressed with how she and the rest of the team at Cicala executed the plans day-off. They did everything they could to make sure that we could simply sit back and enjoy the occasion. Our only regret is forgetting to grab our doggy bag on the way out! Thank you, Cicala, and we’ll see you for dinner the next time we’re in town.

Working with Sam at Royal Boucherie was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. We had a micro wedding of about 25 people on the patio and our reception in the Parlour room. Her communication style was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive - she was so attentive to every important detail and made having our wedding there feel seamless. The venue itself is quaint, beautiful, and charming, with a high-quality look and feel that exceeded our expectations. The fact that they have a list of recommended vendors was an added bonus that made planning so much easier. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day.

We had our micro wedding at Yards. The event coordinator was quick to respond to emails, but she was pretty much MIA for the entire wedding. I saw her once at the beginning to set the video up for the tv and never saw her again. We discussed how I wanted the room set up for the day via email, but it wasn’t set up when we arrived. I had to ask the servers in the room to rearrange the furniture, get more tables and chairs, and to remove some of the decorations (this was all discussed prior to us arriving that day). We also ran out of food at one point so we had to ask for everything to be refilled. Luckily the servers we had were phenomenal and helped us with everything we needed!

My now husband and I have been going to Fringe since early in our dating. It's a place we love for its beer garden, good food, cool building, and view of the Ben Franklin Bridge twinkling at night. We knew we wanted to celebrate our wedding here, but we had no idea just how magical the experience would be. Working with Liz at Fringe Bar and Devi at FringeArts Theater made everything so easy. Liz was incredible to work with on all details regarding food and drink menu, schedule of events, and coordinating with other vendors including table rentals, florists, and musicians. Her recommendations were spot on, and our night flowed so effortlessly on our side because of the whole staff's diligent work to make our experience amazing. Our guests enjoyed the indoor and outdoor beer garden during cocktail hour with ample places to cozy up on a beautiful fall night, drinking cocktails outside and inside while kids played corn hole and garden games. When we moved dinner into the theater space, guests were blown away by the delicious food and ambiance. Every appetizer, cocktail, and entree was out of this world delicious, and we had no problem with allergies or dietary restrictions at our 130 person reception. Our guests are still talking about how great the food and service was, months after the fact. Liz made all of our wildest dreams come true. 300 freshly shucked oysters during cocktail hour? You got it. Mai tais with housemade orgeat? It's their specialty. Steak frites for the adults and grilled cheese for the kids? No problem at all. Fireball shots in the middle of dinner with Pitbull's "Fireball" playing in the background? Executed perfectly. The wine poured effortlessly, nobody had to wait at the beautiful bar for a cocktail made to order, and best of all: Liz was spot on in her price estimates so there were no surprises at the end of the night. We went to Fringe the next day to sign the final bill, and Liz was waiting for us with boxed up leftovers from dinner and dessert for our family to enjoy while we flew off on our honeymoon. Liz and every person working with her is really, truly, the best in the business. My husband and I agree that celebrating our wedding at Fringe was the easiest and best decision we made. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

Lily and I had been coming to Libertee grounds for many years and absolutely loved the food, the environment, and putput! When we were thinking about where to do our pre-wedding get together Libertee was the first place that came to mind. Ellie was incredible in making our vision come to reality. The night before our wedding we ended up having 200 people come from all over the world, asian fusion buffet, open bar, a DJ and henna artist, and watched our families have the time of their lives and mingle. Our guests raved about their time and many have since been frequenting the grounds. Ellie and the LG team made the event completely seamless and our only worry was how to save our voices for the Wedding day! We highly highly recommend Libertee grounds for any event big or small, and can't wait to be back!

My partner and I had the best experience working with Deyna Hamilton from Manayunk Brewing for our wedding reception! From the moment we booked the space a year prior, Deyna was so hands-on with us and helped with everything along the way. Every time we met, she kept us on track and helped us organize our to-do list and was such a pleasure to work with. She clearly has a ton of experience with planning and organizing events, and on the day-of, Deyna made sure we had the most carefree and fun time! The cocktail hour & reception space were perfect for my husband and I. We hosted about 80 people, so everybody had a lot of room to mingle and have drinks and dance. We chose to do stations for dinner, and they were a hit! Everybody told us how much they enjoyed the food during the cocktail hour and reception. The chef at Manayunk is very good! Deyna helped us choose all of the food in the months leading up to our reception which was also a load off our minds! We had a great time utilizing the bridal suite in the hours before our reception - it was a great space to have drinks and snacks with our family, put together some of our decor, and get ready. Deyna and the other staffers helped us tremendously by putting together the reception & cocktail hour space with all of our decorations, flowers, and photos. Deyna provided recommendations for vendors, so it was easy to choose a DJ (John Cicala from Silver Sounds) who already knew the venue! We can’t recommend Manayunk and Deyna enough. They were so wonderful to us! Thank you for everything!

Everything was great!! The staff was amazing, the food was raved about and the drinks were flowing! They let us come in and setup the day before and then come back 2 days later and collect the items we left behind. Blondie (Valerie especially!) could not have been more accommodating and they were the perfect venue for the smaller, party atmosphere wedding we were going for! Colin and the rest of the service team were top notch! Run, don’t walk to book your event with them because they’ll start being overbooked soon enough!!
