The Drexelbrook provided us with such an amazing experience. We attended a wedding here as guests and had such a great time. When looking at wedding venues, the Drexelbrook made ou...
r decision very easy. From the day we met with the team to the day after our wedding, we received nothing but the best care from the team, especially our point person Christina Lyle. We had several meetings with her where she helped us plan all the details of the night. She provided us with so much help and experience that we really appreciated. Not only was Christina amazing, we also had a dedicated staff for us and the party throughout the night. They made sure we were able to enjoy all that the Drexelbrook had to offer, without missing out on all the fun. We gave them all of our items and decor a week before the wedding, and they were very thorough with making sure all items were received and accounted for. We gave them basic details about how things would be setup, but the exceeded our expectations and made everything look amazing. The experience of the whole team truly showed in all aspects. We have heard so many great things about the food, service, and space. We would recommend the Drexelbrook 10 times over and are very grateful for how special the Drexelbrook made our night.
From the moment we walked through the doors of The Drexelbrook, we knew our daughter’s wedding was in the very best hands. What unfolded on her wedding day was nothing short of ext...
raordinary; an experience filled with elegance, warmth, and absolute perfection.
The staff was truly amazing! They were attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making the day flawless. The food was incredible, exceeding every expectation, and the convenience of having the venue, hotel, and after-party all in one location was such a gift to our guests. The attached bar and restaurant allowed family and friends to arrive early and comfortably socialize before the celebration began, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere from the start. The outdoor setting provided stunning photo opportunities that we will treasure forever.
Every single staff member went above and beyond, but we are especially grateful to Hannah, Kim, and Dom Savino. From our very first meeting through the wedding day itself, they were exceptional. There truly are not enough words to thank them for their guidance, kindness, and attention to every detail. Everything was handled with such care and excellence. It was nothing but the best!
We are so very thankful to The Drexelbrook for making our daughter’s wedding day absolutely magical. It fulfilled her dream of a perfect wedding, and for that, we will be forever grateful.

We were so incredibly happy with everything on our wedding day. Everyone at Franklin Commons and Drexelbrook were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond in making our day spe...
cial. The venue, food, and cocktails are still being raved about every time we talk with someone who was at the wedding. Everyone was so attentive to our needs and wants, especially Valentina. Working with both Kim and Hannah felt more like being with family then a strictly professional relationship, which was so important for us when choosing vendors. I am so glad we met Hannah at the wedding expo and will forever recommend Franklin Commons and Drexelbrook!
We hosted a multicultural wedding with a Sangeet, two ceremonies, and a reception at The Drexelbrook, and we truly cannot recommend this venue enough.
Sydney and Jean are absolute...
rockstars—professional, responsive, and very accommodating throughout the entire planning process. We always felt like we were in good hands. On the wedding weekend itself, they worked miracles to ensure everything ran smoothly. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, helpful, and attentive.
Thanks to the entire Drexelbrook team for making our wedding so magical!
From the moment I became engaged, I knew that I wanted to host the reception at Drexelbrook. I have worked with them before on school events, and I knew they would see my vision. ...
I did my due diligence and visited other venues, but once my parents, my fiancé, and his parents walked in, we knew that this was the one. One of the first things I loved is that we got so much more for the price, most venues offered 4 -5 appetizers, we had double - PLUS STATIONS! The dessert bar was top-tier - not just cake, but also ice cream, cannoli, and the list goes on. What Drexelbrook offered us in physical space, food, plates, napkins, etc, did not hold a torch to how myself, my fiance, and our families were treated. I know they do this for a living and, as I said before, I've worked with them on school events; however, from the moment I signed the contract, I felt as though I was the ONLY bride that establishment was working with in that moment. They understood what this event meant to me. This event was not only important to me as a bride, but also as a daughter trying to honor my mother and the vision she had for my wedding before she passed a few years ago. They eased every fear, walked me off every ledge, gave me patience, kindness, advice, guidance, and so much more. The day of my wedding when my fiance and I did the sneak peek of our reception room during cocktail hour, I could not hold tears back. Somehow they made my vision MORE beautiful than I could imagine. Again, throughout cocktail hour, first dances, speeches, dinner, dancing, and dessert, I felt like I was a princess and royalty. No favor was too big or too small, the entire staff smiled, laughed with us, and were genuinely happy for myself and my husband. I cannot sing their praises enough. I wish I could do it over again just so I could soak in the love, laughter, and fun of that night. Everyone talks about how stressful planning a wedding is, but I felt none of that in deal with Hannah, Kim, Domenick and the rest of the Drexelbrook staff. Thank you Drexelbrook for making every single thing I dreamed of for a wedding come true. You were all amazing and I will gladly sing your praises for years to come
I had the pleasure of having my wedding reception in the Brandywine Ballroom of the Drexelbrook! The staff was professional, accommodating and friendly! The Drexelbrook offered exc...
eptional service throughout the entire planning process and on the day. The food was also excellent! I would recommend the Drexelbrook for any event venue, including a wedding!
We also had a great experience at the hotel attached to the venue! It was the perfect spot for our guest room block. We also used the hotel for getting ready the morning of and hosting an after party in the restaurant after the event! We really enjoyed that everything was available at one location!

My husband and I wanted to pick a venue that had great food, drinks and service and The Drexelbrook achieved this and some!
Everyone was amazing and truly worked to make our dream wedding come true. If I could go back in time, I would pick Drexelbrook again and again! The mansion was beautiful and every detail was brought to life.
Everyone is phenomenal, you must check them out!!

odate any request we had and were incredibly attentive to detail. The food and drinks were excellent. We are so happy we chose a full-service wedding venue like The Drexelbrook for our big day. They even packed up our leftover food and wedding cake at the end of the night. 10/10 would recommend!

exelbrook! Jean and Sydney made our experience so wonderful. They are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and great with communication. From our first meeting together to tour the venue, they made us feel valued. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, and just met all of our needs and wants that we were searching for. We worked with Jean and Sydney for almost two years in planning the wedding. They answered my many questions promptly and clearly. We met with them several times to go over all of the details and reminded us of things we had not even thought of! They worked so hard to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted it to be and I cannot thank them enough for all of their time and effort. All of The Drexelbrook staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Our guests were raving about the whole wedding and how great of a job the staff did in putting it all together. All of the food was delicious and they worked well with any guests with food allergies or dietary restrictions. The Drexelbrook exceeded my expectations and really went above and beyond to make our day special. I HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding or other events!
My wife and I recently had our wedding at Franklin Commons with Drexelbrook catering and I can't recommend the venue and company enough. From Kim and Hannah to the rest of the team...
, it was a great experience and professional from start to finish.
Kim and Hannah were super responsive, always got right back to us and worked with us to make sure every detail was in place. Truly can't think of anything that wasn't accommodated and the set up was perfect for us.
The food was plentiful and tremendous, the staff was fantastic and we had the best time.
Also, Franklin Commons is an incredible venue and offers great bang for your buck. It's super spacious and the outdoor/indoor combo is amazing.
No negatives, all positives! No plans to have another wedding ourselves, but would recommend anyone looking to give Drexelbrook and Franklin Commons a look!
Everything about our wedding was fantastic from the food, the staff, the bar, the environment, everything was great and we've received rave reviews from family about the wedding! W...

Thank you Christina and The Drexelbrook team!

tress free for us! We couldn’t recommend this venue more! The venue itself is beautiful and our guests loved everything from the food, to the drinks, to the venue itself! The staff takes care of you so well and makes sure that you are always comfortable and have everything you need for your day of. The Drexelbrook was everything we wanted and more!!
This was the BEST place ever! I have been to a lot of weddings, and this venue outdid themselves. Jean and Sydney took care of everything. Throughout the year before my wedding,...
I had a lot of questions. When I emailed them, they emailed or called me back right away. The food was delicious. The place is absolutely beautiful. They literally took care of everything and made our guests so happy. They gave us a lot of complimentary stuff including the table centerpieces and the wedding cake. They put my husband and I in a suite in the attached hotel for free. The suite was beautiful. It had a kitchen, living room, dining room, and a bedroom. There were also 2 bathrooms. They also gave us complimentary wine in our room. I cannot say one bad thing about this place. We had a truly amazing and magical day. ALL the staff took care of us so well. I wish we could do it all again. Trust me, you will not go wrong with this venue.
We had our wedding reception in the mansion ballroom. Everything was beautiful and we had a fabulous time! Christina was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Thank you!
I got married at Franklin Commons 12/30/22 and it was the most magical day. The Drexelbrook team was a DREAM to work with. Kim executed everything flawlessly and Hannah was also su...
ch a big help in the months leading up. They made everything very easy for me and made my big day very special. I would recommend getting married at this beautiful venue. Every guest said how they loved this space and how great the food was! Thank You so much for making 12/30 so wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful! The mansion was breath taking! Mr. Anthony was such a wonderful person in helping bringing our vision to life! Already recommended the venue to another bride.
This was the only venue we went and toured. We knew that from the first visit that we did not need to look anywhere else. They had everything we needed at one location.
Ceremony, ...
Reception, After Party, hotel accommodations and Farewell brunch .
Food was amazing, cake included. You get to have taste cake from 2 different vendors.
We went with Bredenbecks which was delicious
The Staff is amazing. Christina is a Super Star. She made things so smooth before, during and after the wedding. She is a pleasure to work with.
The wedding day staff were fantastic. Bartenders and servers were so professional.
Food was delicious and everyone keeps taking about it.
Don’t look anywhere else this is the best venue to have your wedding hands down !
Just coming down from cloud 9 after hosting our daughter's wedding in the Mansion at the Drexelbrook. Everything went smoothly, thanks to Kim, Hannah and Domenick. They graciously ...
accommodated every wish, even when we told them we wanted the bridesmaids to carry rescue puppies instead of flowers!! The service and food were excellent, with tons of plant-based options so that everyone felt well fed and loved, from cocktail hour to dinner and even dessert! Perhaps the best part was staying onsite at the Holiday Inn all weekend. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner on Friday night, have a fun glam party the morning of the wedding in our suite, host an after party after the wedding, and a farewell brunch on Sunday morning.....all without ever leaving the property!
The absolute best of the best! My husband and I got married here at the beginning of October and were simply blown away by how amazing our experience was. The Drexelbrook went abov...
e and beyond every step of the way- from connecting us with all of our incredible vendors, to providing us with the best food and service we've ever had, and simply being open to all of our ideas (like having puppies at our wedding!) The Drexelbrook also catered my bridal shower, and were able to accommodate a host of dietary preferences by providing vegan and gluten free options. We look forward to a lifetime of celebrations with the Drexelbrook team!
My wife and I got married at the end of September and had our reception at the Drexelbrook. We only went to see 2 venues because we knew shortly after our first visit that the Drex...
elbrook was going to be our choice. The venue is beautiful, spacious (which was a huge deciding factor for us – nobody likes a crowded cocktail hour), and the parking and hotel couldn’t be more convenient for people travelling.
Jean Fernandez & Sydney Kuhn were our main points of contact; they made the entire process, from beginning to end, easy and stress free. They were available and responsive at all times of day and scheduled appointments as the big day got closer to make sure everything was in order and accurate.
Wedding day was perfect. The food and drinks were awesome, and the staff was even better. My wife and I didn’t make it to cocktail hour because of pictures, but they had someone bringing us hors d'oeuvres outside! They truly went above and beyond to get us anything we needed without even having to ask. I didn’t eat any of the street tacos, but I heard they were amazing! We had braised short rib and Tuscan chicken as our entrees, and both were delicious. The waffles and ice cream for desert was also a hit.
Our party favor was a beer (IPA) brewed for us by our favorite brewery, and Jean made sure that all 10 cases stayed cold (this was very important for me) and put them out on the bar and the end of the party for everyone to take! It’s the little things!
My wife and I wished we could be guests at our own wedding. We would absolutely recommend the Drexelbrook to anyone planning weddings or large events. 5 stars!
We recently got married at Drexelbrook and it was amazing! The staff is knowledgeable and kind! They not only took great care of our guests but also of the bride and groom! I can n...
ot stress enough that if you want a fantastic wedding day go through Drexelbrook! Jean and Sydney were our contact people from Drexelbrook and they were awesome! They kept us organized leading up the the big day and made sure that on our wedding day everything went as smooth as possible! Staff made sure that the groom and myself had drinks and food whenever we needed.
This venue was top notch! Highly highly recommend!!!

f were incredible, particularly Melissa on our wedding day and Christina throughout the process. The connected hotel and restaurant were excellent as well for our many out of town guests and rehearsal dinner. We highly recommend having your wedding at the Drexelbrook.
We got married on 4/9/22 at the Drexelbrook! The day was absolutely perfect. I have to give a major shoutout to Anthony, who was there for us every step of the way. I think I may h...
ave emailed him every single day in the few months leading up to the wedding with questions and concerns. Anthony always got back to me as soon as possible and never seemed bothered by how many questions I had. He really made the whole process easy and stress free. They are very organized and have a great team to make your special day go smoothly. We also briefly interacted with Dale and Melissa on the day of, and they were absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have asked for anything more, or changed one thing. Thank you so much to the entire staff at the Drexelbrook!!

ith Jeannie who accommodated our busy schedule meeting us in the evenings and weekends and offered helpful advise to make our day beautiful and special. Everything was decorated perfectly on the day of the event, truly more special than I had imagined! The food was great and everything ran super smoothly. All our guests really enjoyed the party and felt it was one of the best weddings they had been to and that is all thanks to the amazing staff at Drexelbrook! Thank you guys for a perfect night!
My husband and I had our postponed reception (thanks to Covid) and also a vow renewal and cocktail hour at Drexelbrook on 9/25/2021. It was just a few days after our first anniver...
sary. While we never would have wished for our original plans to be impacted, we ended up having such an amazing day with probably less nerves/stress since we were already married. We started working with Drexelbrook (specifically Kim Savino) in August 2019 after we got engaged - and we continued working on our plans for over 2+ years. Due to the pandemic, we had to adjust our date and make many other changes along the way. And Drexelbrook couldn't have been more flexible and understanding. It definitely made a very stressful time a bit more manageable. Kim, and eventually Hannah and Jean (as we got closer to our date), were both so helpful in all aspects of the planning and final details. I would be remiss if I didn't mention our tasting, which was incredible! We got to bring our parents on both sides to the tasting, and the food was just all so delicious. As for our actual wedding celebration - everything went so, so well. We had a brief vow renewal in the North Ballroom, which was a perfect spot. Then, we had cocktail hour in the Grand Lobby. It's such an elegant space, and all of the appetizers and stations were incredible! We were able to bring in a musician to sing and play acoustic guitar for our brief ceremony and also cocktail hour, which gave a special touch. Our reception was perfect - all of our guests said how delicious the food was. And the portions! My husband had crab cakes and I had beef short rib - I have never seen such large portions at a wedding. The space itself is beautiful and modern. Very large dance floor, and the ballroom had more than enough room to accommodate our ~150 guests while still feeling very spacious - which was important since Covid is still very much here. All of the employees were so kind, helpful, and professional. Bill and Jason were our bridal captain team, and they kept us informed and happy throughout the evening. Once we walked into Drexelbrook that afternoon, we literally didn't feel like we had to worry about a thing - everything was in their very capable hands. Also, having a hotel onsite with the ability to hold an after party was huge! Overall, we can't recommend Drexelbrook enough. If you are looking for a place that makes the process easy (all-inclusive pricing, etc.) and also makes you feel like you're getting the value for the money you're spending - Drexelbrook is it. We had a really great experience all the way through. Thank you!
The ancient Greeks distinguished between those things that were excellent and those things of the highest excellence, which they called arete. Franklin Commons, in both its people ...
(Drexelbrook) and facilities, achieves arete. The spirit and success of any event will of course be shaped by your own heart. But Franklin Commons makes it simplesh to have a memorable and cherished time.
A HUGE thank you to Kim (our contact person) and the entire Drexelbrook team for providing our daughter, her new husband, and our guests with the most amazing, memorable, perfect w...
edding reception at the Franklin Commons. Kim is fantastic to work with, answering emails so quickly and offering her insights and knowledge to make the planning process go smoothly, even during a pandemic. A true professional. She’s just incredible and so sweet.
Franklin Commons is so very different from any other venue that we had viewed and our guests LOVED how unique and open it was. Comprised of two separate spaces, it is a mix of industrial chic with exposed duct work, string lights, and high ceilings and a very comfortable, relaxing, warm feel with couches and conversation nooks! Our guests loved the opportunity to step away from the dance floor into the second room to catch up with relatives they hadn’t seen in a while or to pose for photos in front of the barn door.
When the bridal party arrived through a separate side entrance, a selection of the 16 different appetizers (yes, 16!) and their requested cocktails awaited. Kim made sure everyone was fed and happy! She was so attentive and made everyone feel super special. The food was absolutely FANTASTIC! You will not find anywhere else that offers you 16 different passed appetizers and two live food stations as part of the standard package. We had the risotto bar and the tacos! The guests raved about each and loved how much food there was! We loved that cocktail hour could be outside but covered in case of weather. The salad and dinner entrees were excellent as well. So many guests commented how the braised short ribs melted in their mouths! And, the dessert station didn’t disappoint either. In addition to wedding cake, we had an ice cream bar. Again, all part of the standard package. We loved that we provided our own alcohol for the bar. It enabled us to purchase the wines, beer, and liquor brands that we knew our guests would enjoy.
Franklin Commons is a special venue staffed by super people who attend to every detail, ensuring a memorable, relaxing event. The servers were so professional, polite, and always busy assisting guests. And, you get so much food for your dollar! No one will leave hungry. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You won’t be sorry. Our daughter told us at the end of the night…“Best Day Ever!” You can’t do any better than that. Thank you to Kim and the entire Drexelbrook staff. Special shout out to Domenic who attended to the bride and groom all evening, ensuring they both actually ate some dinner, stayed hydrated, and enjoyed themselves. What a successful evening in every respect!
My wife and I cannot speak more highly of Kim Savino and the entire Drexelbrook team. Not only were they flexible through the pandemic, but were also quick with communication and p...
rovided step-by-step assistance with our wedding planning process. During the big day, we were treated like royalty. Staff made sure my wife and I always were receiving food and drinks (we couldn't forget to eat!), and were even greeted with champagne right after our ceremony. The Franklin Commons venue itself was beautiful and worked with us through our many changes and updates. It fit our 100 person wedding perfectly with room for everyone to dance, enjoy games outside, and find their own space to enjoy the wedding. Our guests have raved about the food, setting, and overall experience that was made possible by this great team! We could not recommend Franklin Commons and the Drexelbrook Catering team enough.
We had our wedding reception at the Drexelbrook and there are so many wonderful things we can say about it!
Let’s start with the venue itself: gorgeous! The pictures we found onli...
ne didn’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful, clean, and tastefully ornate facility. And it’s huge! During COVID, they were able to accommodate all of our guests (~200) comfortably and still follow state guidelines. The complimentary uplighting and table settings created a lovely ambience, and the layout was perfect. We had a live band who had plenty of space to work and the dance floor had ample space.
Next, the food: delicious! Honestly, wedding food has no business being this good. The flavors were amazing, from the hors d'oeuvres and stations to the main courses (they even were able to accommodate a custom sea bass dish we requested!) to the desserts. We’re still dreaming about the stuffed chicken and strip steak. There are so many options and they were very accommodating with food allergies, preferences, and intolerances. It’s hard to go wrong with all the choices. Also, the staff went out of their way to ensure that we were adequately fed and had time to ourselves! We can’t begin to tell you how clutch that was.
Then, the staff: helpful and accommodating! We had exactly 3 WEEKS to replan our reception as COVID forced the original reception out of Philadelphia, and everyone at the Drexelbrook did their best to make sure our “special day” was truly special. Christina, Anthony, Jeannie, and Bill hit the ground running and facilitated all of our last-minute needs. They responded quickly to our questions and didn’t balk at any reasonable requests. They had so many recommendations we didn’t even think of! They also worked so well with our vendors, making this as stress-free as possible!
Lastly, the quick turnaround: wow! While Pennsylvania was easing many event restrictions in March of 2021, Philadelphia did not follow suit. Our original reception venue very graciously allowed us out of the commitment to their venue, so we had a few days to find something else. After being very impressed with a tour of the facility, we landed on the Drexelbrook and they got to work immediately. Months of planning was able to be condensed in a few weeks. Our guests universally loved the venue and were shocked that all of it could be done in such a short period of time!
10/10 would recommend it for any event!
If you are looking for a beautiful, inclusive, and just down right spectacular wedding venue then look no further! Also if you want a professional team that makes all of your weddi...
ng dreams come true then just click on the link and call Kim. My husband and I had to choose a different venue 2-3 months before our wedding because of the COVID restrictions in Philadelphia at our original venue. And then when we had to push our date back because of COVID, Kim immediately came to the rescue to provide us with alternative dates. She always made herself available to us when something with another vendor (particularly our original florist) went wrong. We had our original florist (NOT through DREXELBROOK) ghost us 2 weeks before our new wedding date and Kim immediately got us in contact with their professional list of florists and we had a consultation and all of our stresses gone within a business day. Kim and the team at Drexelbrook truly made our wedding day the PERFECT day despite covid and the wedding planning hiccups. Our guests absolutely LOVED the food and the beautiful ballroom. All of the staff were professional and even made sure we ate during our big day. If you are looking for a beautiful ballroom and a professional and attentive staff during your wedding day, do yourself a favor and call KIM!!!
We booked our wedding for September 21st and the hotel at the time was not complete. They told us it would be complete before our wedding and all I can say is WOW. They really did ...
such a beautiful job with the hotel. Very clean and the service was amazing. It was so convenient to have my family and friends stay at the hotel. Drexelbrook events did such an amazing job, I can’t express it enough. My wedding was perfect because of them and I wish I could do it all over again. They really took care of you and made sure you knew what was coming up next and knew what was going on. Fateema was assigned to me and she was awesome. She helped me with dress issues and she pulled through! Anthony was on top of everything. He knows his stuff. He is so friendly and very accommodating. Drexelbrook makes you feel like they really care and want you to have the best day of your life and it really shows because that’s exactly what happened. My wedding couldn’t have been any better and I am so thankful for their service.
There are so many incredible things we could say about Drexelbrook. They truly made all of our dreams come true in the most amazing ways! Our wedding was everything we imagined and...
more. Drexelbrook went above and beyond! We worked with Jeannie and she truly was FABULOUS, the best of the best! She actually made the whole process fun. The staff the day of the wedding could not have been better. They made us feel like royalty. Our guests are still raving about the amazing food and gorgeous atmosphere. The bridal suite was a dream and such a beautiful place to be with our favorite people. We had a large wedding party and guest list and Drexelbrook was the perfect place to celebrate our best day ever!

beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Jeannie was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and I highly recommend her to anyone considering this venue. So many couples complain about all of the work that goes into planning a wedding but drexelbrook made it a completely stress free experience. They take care of everything from the linens to the centerpieces to the fire pits and beyond. I’ve grown up going to many events at the drexelbrook so the thought of adding my wedding to that list was less than thrilling but after seeing all of the renovations I was blown away. Everything is brand new, the food was absolutely delicious, the cocktail hour had the best food and drinks I’ve ever seen, and the new hotel attached is BEAUTIFUL! We are still hearing from our friends and family how it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Also a big shoutout to Ray who made the day of events run smoothly and always made sure we were having a great time. This is a venue you definitely want to check out!
I had my wedding at Drexelbrook a little over a month ago and we had a fantastic time! From the start our wedding planner Jeannie was very organized and personable. Whenever we had...
questions she would answer our email within 24 hours. We had 2 or 3 meetings with her before hand and went over all the details well in advance! We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue! The night before we did our rehearsal and Jeannie did an amazing job going over everything and handled my HUGE bridal party with ease (we had 10 people on each side). The day of the wedding couldn't have gone any better! The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and all of our decorations were set up exactly how I wanted them ! We got to view the Grand Ballroom about 10 minutes before everyone was let in and we got to do a few shots with our photographer with the entire room behind us. The reception was done amazing and the food was phenomenal ! All of our guest said how amazing the food was! Our matradees Fatima and Dale were absolutely amazing and made sure we got everything we needed all night ! Overall our experience with Drexelbrook could not have gone any better! Thank you guys for making our Wedding a day we will never forget !
We had an amazing wedding with Drexelbrook. Food was great, their bridal captains were organized and attentive. The venue itself was beautiful and clean. The hotel was their bigges...
t selling point but it was not ready after a year of planning/building. They did provide a shuttle service to and from the venue but forgot to pick up my groom! Even after falling 45 minutes behind, we were able to stay on time and enjoy the entire evening, great day!
Great food, a well-stocked bar, and an elegant venue were really important to us when we chose a wedding venue. Drexelbrook is an all-inclusive venue that meets all 3 of those req...
uirements. Their staff were professional and ensured that our event went smoothly; no hiccups whatsoever! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour and dinner food. Drexelbrook also offers a variety of delicious options for guests with dietary restrictions and are certified for gluten-intolerant guests. I was especially impressed with their vegetarian and vegan offerings. Since I don't eat meat, I often get vegetarian meals at weddings that aren't filling or aren't seasoned well. Drexelbrook's vegetarian and vegan offerings are so much better than most other venues' dinners that I've eaten. If you're looking for an elegant wedding venue with great food, an awesome bar, and professional staff at a reasonable price, look no further than Drexelbrook!
The wedding reception of our daughter and new son-in-law was so fabulous! Our coordinator, Jeannie, was a delight to work with throughout the whole process. She and her staff pai...
d attention to every detail that we had discussed. The cocktail hour provided a perfect start to the evening. There was plenty of room for guests to mix and mingle in the Grand Lobby. In addition, we had beautiful weather, so the staff had set up a second bar on the new outdoor patio where our guests enjoyed comfortable seating around the firepits. The food stations and hand-passed hors d’oeuvres were all outstanding and enjoyed by all!
The ballroom was stunning - so elegant, classy and spacious! The elevated sweetheart table was a special touch, as every guest could see the bride and groom and they had a full view of all the guests and activities below.
The kitchen staff did an exceptional job with all the food - from the hors d’oeuvres to dinner and finally to the sweet endings offerings. We had some friends tell us they have been to eight weddings this year and this wedding was, by far, the best. All the guests raved about the food.
When looking for a wedding venue in the Philadelphia area, our daughter and son-in-law were seeking a place with simple elegance that had good drinks and especially, great food, at a reasonable price. The Drexelbrook and staff delivered on all fronts!
The Drexelbrook is currently building a hotel on site, that is expected to open sometime in 2018. We booked over 18 months ago and were then worried and disappointed to learn of the hotel construction and loss of the original patio we had loved. However, the Drexelbrook addressed all our concerns with the new replacement patio. Our guests never even realized there was construction in progress behind the beautiful ballroom. The Drexelbrook will be an even more fabulous venue once the hotel is completed!!
Thank you to Jeannie and all the staff for such a memorable celebration!
My husband and I cannot say thank you to christina, Fred, Jeannie, and bill! From day one, we felt so welcome at drexelbrook! We fell in love with it as did our families. The team ...
at drexelbrook went above and beyond to make our dream day come true. Reasonable pricing with so much including which includes the knowledge and professionalism of their staff! I wish we could do our wedding 10 times over just to work with them.
I would recommend them to any and everyone! Plus they also had fresh chocolate chip cookies which my stepdad LOVED! Thank you drexelbrook for being so amazing!
My husband fell in love with this venue the second he saw it...we knew it was the one. There is so much class and potential in the venue itself...but we had no idea how wonderful ...
the service would be. We were blown away from all the attention we received from the planning team before our wedding - they planned every detail, were so accommodating, and always available to talk to a stressing bride! The day of our wedding - I was blown away at how organized and attentive the staff was. Everyone had a timeline and walkie talkies! I had a manager that was so personable and always there asking me if there was anything I needed. I felt so much relief that I could rely on them with full confidence. It also didn't hurt that at the reception he always made sure I was always taken care of with dinner, drinks, anything! He handed me a drink of choice any time my hands were empty of a glass :)
My guests were blown away from the attentiveness and service! This venue was a perfect canvas for my 400+ extravagant Indian wedding and reception. Guests are still raving about how royal it looked and how much fun they had. Thank you to all the staff!!!

en I seen the finished product. It has been 10 days since my wedding and I am still raving about it! Nothing negative to say about here at all!
I was so lucky that someone recommended Drexelbrook to me!! My wedding day was perfect and everyone at Drexelbrook went above and beyond to make it that way. All of my guests said...
the service was outstanding and they've never had better wedding food, than what we had at Drexelbrook. We even had one dedicated employee, Diamond, just taking care of the bridal party, which was so helpful! My husband and I, and my bridal party, never had to go up to the bar, Diamond always brought us our drinks and made sure everything was perfect. They did an amazing job setting up the space for our wedding and it was better than I could have ever imagined! Thank you SO much Drexelbrook for making my wedding day so much fun and absolutely perfect!!
100 stars!!!!!!!!!!!! My experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff at Drexelbrook has been amazing since day one. I booked my wedding 18 months in advance and every encoun...
ter with the team at Drexelbrook has been beyond pleasant. The care and attention that is given to each bride is unmatched. The small touches, like the cookies at appointments is what made me fall in love with Drexelbrook. Not to mention my coordinator, Kim. Kim went above and beyond to help me execute my vision. When I showed up on the day of my wedding, I had multiple jaw dropping moments. The room looked amazing, everything was perfect! I was able to focus on my big day, as absolutely NOTHING went wrong. Ray was amazing. His personality kept me calm and he didn't miss a beat. I couldn't have asked for a better Day! It was truly a pleasure working with the team at Drexelbrook. I couldn't have asked for or even imagined a better experience! My guests were impressed. Drexelbrook gained about 100 new potential clients!
We had our wedding reception at the Mansion Ballroom at Drexelbrook and it was absolutely perfect! Jeannie was absolutely wonderful to work with, and went out of her way to accomm...
odate me and my family. (My parents live 8 hours away, and Jeannie and the whole Drexelbrook team worked hard to make sure they were able to be involved throughout the process.) They were able to help us incorporate all of our nerdy additions, too! Throughout the entire process, I had confidence that I wouldn't have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding... and they didn't disappoint! Everything was beautiful and ran smoothly, and our guests had a fantastic time!! Thank you so much!
I don't usually write reviews but Drexelbrook exceeded our expectations in so many ways that I am compelled to write this review. My son's wedding reception was at Drexelbrook in ...
July.. It was flawless and exceptional evening. Here are four big reasons you should have your event here.
1. Staff -The wedding co-ordinator, Jeannie, and the operational staff were excellent. They went the extra mile to ensure all had an amazing experience.. The wait staff were friendly , professional and very attentive all evening...They made sure everything went very smoothly and happened exactly as planned.
2.Food- 5 star.s!. From the hors d'oeuvers to the the desserts the food was absolutely exceptional. I am still receiving rave reviews and compliments.....epicurean delight!!
3.Facility- Drexelbrook Grand ballroom is not only elegant and spacious , it is a perfect layout for a wedding . The entrance foyer is a a beautiful and open space for greeting guests,enjoying cocktails and creative appetizers.
4. Price. Drexelbrook is very reasonably priced.
I highly recommend this venue... you won't be disappointed!
I had my wedding here in July 2017 and I highly recommend this venue! I have nothing but praise for them! Jeannie was my wedding coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. From da...
y one she was patient, accommodating, detail-oriented, organized, friendly, responsive, and truly showed she cared about us. She really listens to what your vision is and makes sure it comes alive on your wedding night. The other staff are phenomenal as well. During our wedding reception we had two attendants specifically assigned to us and our parents, and they were always around asking us if we wanted any food or drink. If it weren't for them I probably would have missed out on a lot of the cocktail hour food and dessert because we were busy greeting people!
The food itself was absolutely delicious, from the appetizers to dinner to dessert to drinks. The cost is very reasonable compared to other venues - you get your own signature drink, a TON of food, an outdoor firepit, etc. The ONLY critique I have is that they are currently undergoing construction (attaching a hotel to the venue), but they did a good job of hiding any evidence of construction the actual day of (you wouldn't know if you were a guest).
Drexelbrook is AMAZING and I highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married. We looked at a dozen venues and we're so glad we decided on here. We are so happy with how everything leading up to the wedding and the actual wedding day played out.
We had our wedding at Drexelbrook in the south/central ballroom a few weeks ago, and what an incredible day it was! Rain, terrible heat, and high humidity could not stop us from h...
aving a beautiful day, largely in part to Drexelbrook.
From the moment we first met with Drexelbrook, they were so flexible and easy to work with. They listened to the vision I had and made it happen, better than I ever could. I'm still receiving compliments on the beauty of the ballroom and the deliciousness of the food. So many people have told me the apps were the best they've ever tasted.
Kim Savino was our contact person throughout the entire process and does her job with perfection. What a wonderful asset to the company. The day was better than we could have ever imagined. Wish we could do it all over again!
If you're getting married, CHOOSE DREXELBROOK!
We had a winter wedding and Drexelbrook was the best venue we could have ever asked for. Our coordinator, Anthony, was accomodating, supportive, friendly, and beyond helpful. We l...
ooked forward to every meeting we had with him
and he helped make every detail of our vision come true. On the day of, we were treated like royalty the entire time. I am
quoted in our wedding video, during our walkthrough of our reception space, as saying "This is everything I wanted times a million!!" Drexelbrook could not have catered to us more, and I highly, highly, highly reccommend it to anyone and everyone!
