Philadelphia Marriott Old City

ck to respond and answer all our detailed questions - not just from me, but from family members, vendors, and our coordination team. I am very type-A and organized when it comes to planning, and Samantha was able to match that energy. The team clearly knows what they are doing and runs like a well-oiled machine, and this was evident from before we even toured the venue. Our private food tasting was easy to schedule, as was our final details meeting the month before the wedding. The day-of and weekend-of the wedding ran very smoothly, and all staff were extremely attentive to needs of both myself and our family/guests. I was able to remain very calm the entire weekend, because I knew Samantha and the team wouldn't let anything slip through the cracks! They truly went ABOVE and BEYOND. Guests loved the food (we loved it too!) and spoke highly of the hotel in general. The suite where the bridal party got hair and makeup done was spacious and clean. Our room block of 48 rooms was easy to coordinate, and we always felt up to date on how many rooms were booked. I HIGHLY recommend Marriott Old City for your wedding or event, and have to give so much credit to Samantha’s amazing organizational and planning skills! 10/10!

t the food selection was and people absolutely loved all of the hors d'oeuvres & food stations during the cocktail hour. We loved that Marriott took care of the food & alcohol for us and during our tasting we felt like absolute royalty. Sam, Lauren, and Garland were super easy to work with and took care of any questions that we had. We were absolutely thrilled with how easy everything seemed. They coordinated everything with our other vendors day of so we did not have anything to worry about other than getting married and having a good time! Oh, and the hotel bar for an after party was also a huge hit!

he entire catering team was beyond phenomenal. The venue itself is gorgeous and the hotel is recently updated as well. My guests loved their rooms. The lobby was the perfect meet up for everyone too! Anyone considering should definitely pull the trigger and get married there!

quickly and accommodating every request we had. Working with her was a breeze, which made the entire planning process much smoother. The venue looks like it was updated recently, and all the rooms are brand new, which our guests absolutely loved. It was incredibly convenient having our guests stay at the same venue as the wedding. The staff was exceptionally nice and went above and beyond to ensure everything went perfectly. We could not have asked for a better venue for our special day. Highly recommended!

icated to us. The entire venue is gorgeous and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!

r wedding so special. They thought of everything! Literally every person who worked at the hotel were so lovely and helpful to us and our wedding guests! They were so flexible and accommodating with our requests and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The hotel was also so wonderful to have a wedding block in because of the awesome lobby/bar/tv rooms in the center of the hotel. It really encouraged the guests to hang out and mingle. We even did our after party there and everyone loved it! Such a neat, beautiful hotel so close to everything! Our brunch food and location was delicious and perfect! Love this hotel and can’t wait to come back! The best!!

We were so impressed by the tour and everything included in the package that we booked right away! The food and bar package is great and our guests are still talking about all the options at cocktail hour. I only have good things to say about Samantha and all the staff at the Marriott. She made the whole planning process easy and made sure we were able to have everything we wanted on wedding day - including the Sixers Stixers and late night federal donuts. She planned all the meetings and tastings throughout the process and was always available if I had a question. She was there on wedding day if we needed anything which was amazing. On wedding day the staff set everything up beautifully and had everything packed up for us the next day. It was a breeze! The hotel is very convenient if you want to have everything in one place and most of our guests stayed at the hotel so we did not have to provide any transportation. We also had a brunch the next day which the guests really enjoyed. The staff even had the tables set nicely with flowers from the night before. I would 100% recommend them for your wedding!!

ade sure we felt heard the entire time. Our coordinator, Samantha Serenkin was INCREDIBLE! She was extremely professional, attentive, and accommodating. She was our favorite vendor to work with! Highly recommend the Philadelphia Marriott in Old City as a wedding venue for a fantastic experience in the most charming part of the city.

ful, understanding, and kind. Our guests raved about the food and ambiance. This hotel is so exquisite we couldn’t be happier with the way it worked out!

elmingly generous and kind. I cannot recommend this place enough - a true gem that will give you the wedding of your dreams. We were guided by Sam the entire process but when we arrived, we were blown away by the staff making us feel like royalty. Besides that, our guests told us how amazing the staff and hotel was and it was an incredible wedding. We couldn’t have been happier to have been married here!!!

planning process, I worked with Traci who was so professional and easy to work with, she is so sweet – I absolutely loved working with her! She was so responsive to all my emails/calls/questions and while she was out on maternity leave for my actual wedding day, she organized everything perfectly before she left so it was an easy transition. Fran was my contact for the few weeks before the wedding and day-of, and he was just as amazing – completely made us feel at ease and the day of, we didn’t have to worry about one thing. The food is amazing – Many of our guests commented how great all the food (especially the cocktail hour) was! You get to try a ton at the tasting which makes it hard to decide because everything is so good. The team is also super flexible and accommodating if you have any special requests – we met Kim, one of the servers, at our tasting who was also at the actual wedding – she went above and beyond, truly made us feel like royalty for a night!! Nikki managed our hotel block and was extremely helpful – we had no issues at all and she was able to answer all of our (and our guests’) questions regarding the rooms. We did face one slight complication because the Sheraton rebranded to the Marriott a few months before our wedding but Traci regularly shared updates on the status of the rebrand and some of the renovations going on at the hotel so we really didn’t have anything to worry about! The newly renovated rooms and lobby bar are gorgeous. The evening was simply perfect and would definitely recommend the Marriott – great location in Old City (great for nearby photos) and an amazing value for Philly!

solute best wedding coordinator. Her attention to detail, planning, and communication were on point ... not to mention she is a sweetheart! We were in touch regularly and she was more than flexible and willing to meet our needs. Even on the day of our wedding, Traci was in touch and making sure everything was exactly perfect. The pricing and packages at the Sheraton are very reasonable for being in the city. Our cocktail hour options were amazing ... so much food! All of the food was delicious and the service was top notch. I received so many compliments about the Sheraton. Many of our guests stayed overnight, which was convenient and easy. We had the wedding of our dreams. Sheraton Society Hill is the place to have your wedding!!!

tiful, super convenient location in town, free valet parking for guests, delicious food and all of the staff at the Sheraton from our wedding coordinator Traci to her assistants Kathleen, Edmund and Joey were absolutely amazing! They did everything in their power to make sure we had our dream wedding and to this day cannot stop talking about how amazing it was!!! It was also super convenient to have guests stay at the hotel over the weekend and the morning after brunch was excellent as well :)

eyond to accommodate us and really made our wedding planning experience and reception stress-free and enjoyable. Second, the food was delicious. Everything we tried at our tasting was so good and many of our guests complemented the food after the reception. It was also very reasonable for a city venue and the price is pretty comprehensive. We kept getting quotes that didn't include tax or other significant hidden fees, and the Sheraton's quote gave us the full picture of what we would be paying, which I appreciated. I truly could go on and on about how wonderful the service and facility was. I would truly be reaching for any kind of con. Our experience was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. I highly recommend checking out the Sheraton if you're looking for a nice city venue.

e before you even think of them. She is very organized, detailed, and accommodating. Carroll Lawson managed the room block and was also very organized and detailed. She provided regular updates throughout the process. The staff during the event was pleasant, helpful, and on the ball. The hotel is Philly's best kept secret for weddings! I wish I could do it again.

ound and explore. Guests could valet park for a price comparable to most area parking. It was easy to coordinate bus pick up for transporting our guests to the rehearsal dinner and reception because Dock street isn't a crazy street with lots of through traffic- this made things so much easier. Carroll was lovely to work with in coordinating our room block, welcome bags and brunch for the morning after the wedding. We were also able to have vendors park at the hotel and have their parking billed to us which was nice and easy for all. Bridal suite was awesome to have for hair and makeup to be done in the room.

Everything went so smooth and I would recommend the Sheraton to all future Philly brides.

ion that fit into our budget. Traci Teodoro-Meldrum, the catering manager, made the entire planning process easy for us. She is extremely responsive, flexible, and organized. She answered every question and concern we had and made sure that we were happy with each decision. The night of the wedding she was there to make sure everything ran smoothly and even made sure that we ate dinner without too many interruptions. Traci helped us to build a package that fit our budget and our needs. Our cocktail hour included two stations and passed appetizers. For our reception, the guests had a choice between two meals. The bar was open for the entire event, which guests appreciated especially during dinner. Everyone commented that the food was delicious and served warm. Traci also took care of setting up our centerpieces, the cocktail hour space, and the ballroom exactly how we envisioned it. We had almost half of our guests traveling from Chicago for the wedding and booking a block of rooms was so easy at the Sheraton. Carol Lawson updated us with the number of rooms being filled and was flexible when it came to moving some guests into our block who hadn't booked it correctly. All of our guests at the hotel were impressed by the cleanliness, friendliness, and overall service of everyone they interacted with at the Sheraton.

eldrum, was helpful throughout the entire process. From our initial contact she was professional, courteous, responsive, resourceful, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She really gets to know the wedding couple and put my mind at ease that everything would be executed perfectly on the day – and it was! Traci worked with us to customize our wedding package and made sure we were getting the most value out of our package. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the Sheraton and found it very convenient for both our guests and us to have everything at one central location. We also set up a room block at the Sheraton for our out-of-town and overnight guests. Further, we had a post-wedding brunch on site at the Sheraton which worked out great. We loved our tasting and the food the day of was delicious! I would highly recommend the Sheraton Society Hill to anyone to use for their wedding venue.

from the original quote. The chandeliers were gorgeous, and gave the space a very upscale feel. Food was amazing! Everything was included (food, drinks, cake, minor decor), and if you wanted more you could pay for more (although we chose the most basic option and it was perfect for us). The best part was that being at a hotel was very convenient for our guests!
