I cannot say enough good things about the Tribute House and its staff. Colette was with me every step of the way to plan everything, and Terri was there all night making sure everything was absolutely perfect. I'm an awful planner, and they bot...
h stepped up and made everything more amazing than I ever could have hoped for. The venue itself is breathtaking, the groom's room and bridal suite were lovely and oh so convenient. They really did think of everything to make a wedding go off without a hitch, and their thoughtful details made all the difference!
This was beyond the perfect place for our winter wedding and fit our idea of a wedding venue to a tee! The staff was always so extremely helpful and the day turned out amazing. Fair warning, considering the rental is just the venue itself, we...
did put a lot of work in coordinating with the cater, setting up the venue, and figuring out how to breakdown, but we knew all of this info prior to booking and we were ready for the task. Couldn't have gone better, I can't wait for the pictures to come in!
Merion Tribute House was such a special place to hold our NYE wedding. From the start, Colette, Randy, and team were so helpful in planning the event, answering any last minute questions, and executing to perfection on the day-of.
For 110 peo...
ple, the venue was the perfect size for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. If we had a wedding in warmer weather, the terrace would have been an added bonus!
Many thanks to the MTH staff- we literally couldn't have done it without you!
One visit to Merion Tribute House and we were sure this was the place. In addition to the picturesque architecture and landscaping, the flow of the space really spoke to us. On the day of the event, our 150 guests flowed around the fairly open ...
floor plan, exploring the balcony, the fireplace room, the grand hall, and the ballroom. Somehow, it feels grand and cozy at the same time. As a practical matter, it was important that MTH works with a number of approved caterers, giving us plenty of options within our budget, and allowing us to buy our own alcohol. For us, that meant that while the venue rental cost was slightly higher than most other venues we saw, the ability to control our catering and bar budget made it overall much more affordable. The rental also comes with chairs, and several other items they’ve accumulated or inherited from weddings over the years, such as an arc, easels, and birdcage for cards.
And, oh yeah, did I mention the architecture and landscaping is gorgeous? We stayed on-site for our first look and pictures. These pictures will be on our mantels and walls for a lifetime, and hopefully other walls and mantels for generations. Suffice it to say, the grounds certainly rose to the occasion.
Special thanks to Collette, who helped us from our first tour to the last dance and made it all very easy.
The Merion Tribute House was a fantastic venue for our daughter's wedding, and PTG Caterers did an incredible job!
Gil was extremely helpful and worked with us on all of the little details we requested. The tasting was brilliant - and gave us ...
a lot of excitement for the wedding itself! Gil took his time with us, and had a number of suggestions that were extremely helpful in planning the day.
Gil had a great team running the show the day of the wedding. Our guests were raving about the appetizers and drinks, and as the parents of the bride they made sure that we had appetizers and drinks throughout the cocktail hour. I had a number of my guests comment to me after the wedding that the staff was brilliant - they were on top of everything.
The displays and arrangements were great. The food was as we requested- we had a selection of 5 entrees, and all were cooked to perfection!
PTG is very much a "set it and forget it" vendor - we had certain things that we wanted, decisions were made and that was it - and it was great! We knew that everything would be handled well, and if there was an issue it would be addressed. We didn't have to worry at all about the quality of service, and we were extremely pleased with our choice to have our wedding at the Merion Tribute House and served by PTG Caterers. I would absolutely recommend them and have used them for a number of other events that I have had catered. They have never let me down!!
I honestly had a great time and I had many compliments on the beautiful venue and the amazing food. I couldn't have had a better event. Thank you so much for a beautiful wedding!!!
The Merion Tribute House made planning a Philly wedding all the way from Arkansas a breeze! The staff was absolutely wonderful to work with, and our wedding was gorgeous! Everyone loved the venue, and it was perfect for our Harry Potter theme! ...
If you're considering having your wedding here, I would highly encourage you to go for it without a second thought.
We cannot say enough great things about this venue. The location was perfect, the staff was so helpful. Especially due to rain that day and the ceremony had to be inside. The staff handled the situation so professional. I would recommend this v...

My husband and I had an all- around excellent experience having our reception at Merion Tribute House. We worked with Collette from the beginning, and she was patient throughout and especially during the last couple weeks leading up to the pla...
nning to answer last minute questions or address any concerns we had. They were so accommodating as well - our aunt had offered later in our planning to help decorate, and Collette allowed her to come in the day before to set up. As well, on the day of, everything was perfect. It is just an absolutely beautiful venue with immaculately kept grounds and facilities. The veranda was perfect for our cocktail hour and the lounges inside gave our guests who wanted a little extra shade a respite from the early summer heat. And if you are looking at Merion Tribute House for a summer wedding, their air conditioning is excellent as well! We had an overwhelmingly positive experience with this venue, and we'd highly recommend to any couple considering it for their wedding!!
what are you waiting for? BOOK it already! absolutely amazing grounds lovely and accommodating staff . our wedding guests were loved this place. Collette is amazing! I planned my wedding from Arizona.
The entire staff at the Tribute House was fantastic in making sure everything was perfect for our wedding. They were willing to wait out the rain so I could have my outdoor ceremony. Planning with them was effortless!
Using Merion Tribute House as our venue was an AMAZING experience. I could not have been happier with every aspect they handled. Their staff was lovely, the grounds were immaculate, and all of my guests spoke about how amazing MTH is. Beautiful...
location, knowledgeable and friendly staff, affordable.
The Merion Tribute House was a dream venue, it makes me giddy just thinking about the fact that I got to get married in such a magical place. Picking a venue and planning a wedding in the Philadelphia Area when you live in California is not an ...
easy task, and I couldn't be happier that I went with Merion Tribute House - it was the PERFECT place for our day and set a vibe that was truly unique and wonderful. The building and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful and made our guests swoon - even my early pictures in front of the beautiful red doors are amazing! The grounds look gorgeous at all times of the year - and what is great about the space is it has it's own gothic vibe, but it can also be transformed to fit your personality. We felt like we were getting married in a castle, and it totally fit the romantic feeling we were going for. The beauty of the building speaks for itself, but it was the flexibility and kindness of the staff that really took this venue to the next level. Colette and team were so flexible about letting me stop by the venue when I was in town from CA any time I needed to, and the venue worked so well with all of my vendors. When a freak summer downpour rolled in 15 minutes before my outdoor ceremony (the weather report said 0% chance of rain!), the team at Merion Tribute House was AMAZING - they helped run all the flowers inside and set up a beautiful, intimate standing room only ceremony in front of their gorgeous fireplace in the foyer in no time - I actually think the ceremony ended up being more perfect than if we had had it outside. By the time the ceremony was done the rain had stopped and we had cocktails on the gorgeous terrace and did our picture outside in the romantic, dewy twilight. I can't imagine another venue handling this freak situation like such pros, and making us feel so at ease throughout. This is a wonderful, special, unique venue for your wedding - highly recommended!!!
My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Merion Tribute House just over a month ago. It is, without question, one of the most beautiful venues I have ever seen. Collette was our contact there, and right from the start, she made things s...
o comforting for us. She was very easy going, incredibly nice, very organized, and very knowledgeable. She definitely made any stress about picking wedding venues disappear as soon as we sat down with her.
I always appreciate history and character, and the Tribute House has both in spades. An absolutely beautiful stone constructed building, Merion Tribute House was built to commemorate the local soldiers who served in WWI. To help pay tribute, military emblems are embedded in stunning stained glass, and there are hand carved decorative figures and division patches all along the walls. All of this intricate and detailed work was such a nice backdrop to have throughout the evening. There was also a huge stone terrace and beautifully manicured front lawn and gardens right out front where we enjoyed our cocktail hour. My wife and I were even able to have lawn games out on front lawn, which was a big winner amongst our guests!
The dinning area was more than large enough to fit our total number of guests (just around 150). No one was confined to tight spaces, and everyone was able to move around without problems. Our DJ was up on a stage looking down on the guests, and dance floor, which made for a very organized set up all around. My wife and I are so happy our wedding was at The Merion Tribute House, thanks again to Collette and everyone for making it possible!
If I could give this venue more than 5 stars I would. This venue was amazing. We had our wedding there on April 29th, 2016 and it was so beautiful. We have gotten so many compliments on the venue, all the vendors and guests loved it and it w...
as incredible. It was cold and rainy so we had to have the ceremony inside even though I had my heart set on having it outside. However, Colette and Terri were able to make it happen inside and be just as beautiful as I had ever imagined. They let you borrow their decorations free of charge and are extremely helpful. If you are questioning choosing your this as your venue, I would like to encourage you to pick this location. You will not regret it. You will have an amazing day. Thank you Merion Tribute House for making our day so much more special!!!!
The Merion Tribute House was very flexible and helpful with whatever I wanted to do. They let me bring my own food and decorations and everything.
Not to mention that the place is beautiful and so memorable for my guests.
we hosted our wedding at the Merion tribute house on Sunday august 16th 2015
This was the perfect venue for our Sunday afternoon wedding. The Merion Tribute house set in a beautifully matured garden like area, with a long driveway that blew ...
guests minds as they approached. We had our ceremony of the front lawn, We didn't need any décor at all. The venue has such beautiful gardens and planters that it sets the tone for any affair. Our cocktail hour took place between the stone patio, legion room, lounge area and main hall.. all beautifully decorated areas!!!! Photos do not do the Merion Tribute house justice, you have to see it in person to appreciate its beauty and elegance.
We worked directly with Colette thru out the planning process..... She was so patient, kind, understating and extremely helpful!!! Colette made great suggestions that made our wedding day even more special.... She responds to emails and phone calls so quickly, which is very important when planning a wedding and makes the process seem stress free....
I would refer any couple looking for a great venue to the Merion Tribute House ( ask for Colette)
Our wedding was May 2, 2015 and all of our guests and us enjoyed a beautiful day at this venue. Photos on the grounds as well as in the front sitting rooms are beautiful. We were able to bring alcohol and decorations to the venue and store th...
em securely about 5 days before our wedding. The staff was helpful for preparations, however, I think additional time in person or on the phone would have made our rehearsal run more smoothly. Instead I had to meet with staff for almost 30 minutes while everyone else had already arrived for the rehearsal. The rehearsal fee is quite competitive and all setup and takedown of chairs outside went very smoothly. Suites for both bridal and groom's party are big enough and very comfortable for getting ready. The venue comfortably holds 130-150 to allow enough dance floor space; I could not imagine 175 guests and tables fitting well. End-of-event logistics became stressful for me as the bride because the staff person was overly concerned about all items being removed, which we were already doing. Overall, the venue speaks for itself and the staff will ensure that your wedding runs smoothly.
These guys know weddings. They have everything ready to go for you, and work well with the vendors to get everything set-up and running smoothly. It is the most gorgeous location, and it will awe your guests with its beauty. Our guests said it ...
was the best wedding location they had every been to. The front rooms are perfect for cocktail hour, as well as the porch, and the ballroom is just the right size for a mid-size wedding. If you are looking for a traditional, yet unique, venue, this is definitely the place.
The venue is gorgeous and the staff is helpful, accommodating, and flexible. Loved it.
My now husband discovered Merion Tribute House through an Internet search when our previously booked reception venue fell through. Luckily we had plenty of time. This was the BEST thing that could have happened in our wedding planning as it was...
a true blessing to find this exceptionally unique venue. My husband was very clear that he wanted a UNIQUE space--no hotels, no country clubs--so we didn't have many options. I also wanted a venue that was close to our ceremony site AND was nice enough to take our pictures so we wouldn't have a separate photo stop. Merion had it all and more! I cannot describe in words what a beautiful backdrop it provided for our wedding. All of our guests commented on its beauty and asked where we found it. The venue speaks for itself, but what really made planning a pleasure was the Merion staff. We were so relieved that they didn't have crazy restrictions and were available to answer all of our questions and concerns. We were allowed to make appointments to walk through the venue multiple times as we wanted to show our parents and photographer. Every time we did a walk through, I could picture our wedding day more clearly! Discovering this castle-like venue was meant to be! Merion really made our wedding a true fairytale.
This venue is so perfect for a medium-sized wedding. The photos speak for themselves, it's a gorgeous building with gorgeous grounds. But the other main reason we picked it was the size. You have the place all to yourself, no other weddings o...
r guests or recreationalists walking around or near your reception. But it was still small enough that with 100 guests it felt intimate. There were separate spaces for the cocktail hour and the reception. We used the patio throughout the whole night, enjoying the beautiful views and nice May weather. Collette and her staff were superb. They responded immediately to every question. They were incredibly professional, but also willing to accommodate us any time they could. For example, our wedding was on a Friday and there was no event scheduled the day before. So they let us use the large basement to make the flower arrangements and store them in their huge refrigerators. A lot of places would've said that's against the rules or an extra fee or just a hassle, but Collette said "Sure, no problem." I can't recommend them highly enough.
Merion Tribute House was the perfect venue for my wedding. I always imagined feeling like a princess on my wedding day, and Merion Tribute House helped make my dream come true! The venue looks like a castle! It has beautiful decor and the front...
lawn was perfect for our ceremony. Though I recommend getting married later in the day so the sun isn't blazing on your guests because there is no shade on the front lawn. However, there is shade on the side of the building which is a separate spot for a ceremony. Our cocktail hour was in the legion room and on the terrace. And our reception was in the ballroom. The ballroom was recently updated and designed to fit any color scheme. And the dance floor looks small compared to the room, but it was the perfect size. The size of the floor was actually mathematically calculated to fit the average number of guests to the amount of people who actually dance. Also, I really liked how the venue gave us a list of recommended vendors that have come to that venue before. As far as the caterer, you can pick from there list or you can choose your own, but you will have to pay a fee to pick someone that isn't from their list (but it's a pretty good sized list). Lastly, the communication with the venue was excellent. They always got back to us right away and they even stayed late one day so I could stop by to show my mom the venue. Everyone there is really nice, helpful, and will answer any questions you may have. They are also there for the rehearsal which is free of charge. The coordinator and our officiate walked us through the logistics of everything. Be aware that your coordinator of the rehearsal may not be the same person who is there on your wedding day. However, that was not an issue for us because each person made the wedding run smoothly from start to finish. I would recommend this venue to anyone who want a fairytale style wedding.
MTH is an absolutely gorgeous hall. I could not have chosen a better location for my wedding. My only complaint is that you have to use one of their caterers (I unfortunately chose Tuxedo Caterers and was not happy with my end result but that h...
ad nothing at all to do with MTH.) If I had to get married all over again, I would chose MTH - it was like a fairy tale come true.
I got married on 1/25/14 and the Tribute House was the best and most beautiful venue ever. The old charm of this historical mansion made my wedding come to life. The huge century doors and beautiful balcony to take pictures on. Everything was w...
onderful from the staff and every moment of planning. I would highly recommend for both indoor and outdoor weddings

uld not have been more pleased!!! Thank you all so very much for making our day truly special!!
When my daughter and her fiance decided to have an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding the choice of venue became evident from the start. Living only a few blocks from the Merion Tribute House we have attended and previously hosted an event at ...
this neighborhood treasure. Colette and her entire staff (Thank you Suzette, Katie and Jeff) could not have been more accommodating to all of our many queries and to our unconventional decorating scheme. The grounds are just exquisite and the building offers your guests so much room in just beautiful surroundings. We cannot thank the staff enough for their courtesy, enthusiasm and sound professional advice. Our daughter’s wedding was everything we had hoped for and more and we cannot begin to thank everyone at the Tribute House for their assistance not only to us but to our vendors throughout our long planning process.
The staff at the MTH was amazing. They worked above and beyond to make my wedding day everything I imagined it would be even with the weather being horrible for days prior to the big day. The space is absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend t...
hem to anyone.
This venue is beyond amazing. Great service, beautiful setting and a memorable experience for both you and your guests. Your wedding will definitely stand out in the best way possible.
A beautiful location with an amazing, helpful staff. Loved the flexibility to plan for an outdoor ceremony knowing that it could become an indoor ceremony if needed.
The Merion Tribute House was the perfect venue for our wedding! The building and grounds looked spectacular! Collette, the general manager, was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my questions. Our day-of coordinator made sure everything...
ran smoothly. Everyone was extremely helpful and accommodating! They even took the time to set up the chairs for our ceremony in a perfect circle inside the grand ballroom. We could not have asked for a better place to hold our ceremony and reception.
We fell in love with the Merion Tribute House as soon as we visited. It's such an amazing space, with so much character. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. It was intimate and cozy with the fireplaces. I hope we get in...
vited to a wedding there!
I got married on November 11, 2012 and my wedding reception at the Merion Tribute house was amazing. All communication with staff was prompt and efficient. I was able to visit the venue on any day there was not an event going on there. I chose ...
many vendors off their "preffered" list and I was pleased with those selctions also. Only gripe I have was the hostess and coatroom attendant never introduced themselves to me upon arrival so half way theough the reception I asked who they were thinking they were wedding crashers. But overall excellent facility.
We had our wedding at the MTH on August 31st. We had a garden ceremony around 5:00 p.m. and it was absolutley gorgeous. The tribute house is beauiful and if you get married in the summer, they have gorgeous flowers in potted stone planters arou...
nd the venue and it makes for an abosloute perfect garden wedding. They also offer free chivari chairs that you can use for reception!
From the moment I saw the Tribute House, I knew it would be perfect. It has a great outdoor space (though I couldn't use it for my winter wedding), the ballroom was the perfect size for my smallish wedding (about 110 people), and it has a great...
lounge area for people that want to escape from the loud music.
All of my guests couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful, and comfortable, the venue was. Also, I want to say thank you again to Suzette from the Tribute House for going completely above and beyond her day of duties and making my wedding the awesome experience that it was!
We loved the Merion Tribute House! Did you know that Tina Fey and several Philadelphia Eagles players have gotten married here? It's beautiful both inside and out (since we had a winter wedding, inside was most important to us), an old stone bu...
ilding with working fireplaces and also lovely grounds. We were able to stick with really simple decor because the venue itself was so lovely! Colette was extremely responsive via email with even the smallest questions and concerns, and they let you choose between 10 different caterers at different price points and with different specialties, a flexibility that really meant a lot to us. It's a bit pricey compared to some other venues, but they let you provide your own alcohol, which saves you a ton of money, especially if you go to tax-free Delaware to buy it! The day of the wedding the staff was very helpful and professional, and we couldn't have had a better experience. On top of all this, when we ended up having some problems with our caterer the day of the wedding, Colette and the Tribute House staff really wanted to listen to our issues and be on our side. A great experience overall!
My exhaustive search for a venue suitable for my vintage travel-inspired wedding reception happily ended upon our visit to the Merion Tribute House. It is unique among historic locations in that the house was built to host events, so that gues...
ts aren't divided among separate rooms but can enjoy dinner and dancing together in one space. It also has air conditioning, which was a dealbreaker for me when considering venues for our August wedding. The ballroom could also accommodate our 160 guests, which is difficult to find in an indoor space at a historic location. (This was doubly important when a thunderstorm the day of meant that our ring ceremony was also held in the ballroom). They are also more realistic about the price, in comparison to the exorbitant rates of other historic mansions located in greater Philadelphia. The front rooms are cozy and allowed guests to interact while eating appetizers, with enough room to allow for a makeshift photo booth, guestbook table, entrance display, and gift table. The grounds were well kept, even in late August, and the location is enviable -- tucked away from traffic but still accessible, and with plenty of parking. Between our booking and the wedding, the ballroom underwent a major renovation which freshened the space considerably, even though I wasn't crazy about the chandeliers and actually hate the new cornices on the windows.
The staff worked well with our vendors -- the caterer and the bakery, who work with them regularly, and also our florist and decorator, who hadn't worked with them before. Colette is an exceptional manager; she showed us through multiple times and e-mailed timely notices about the renovation and also when a tree in the front landscape had to be removed. Unfortunately, she was out of town the day of our wedding and my bridesmaids told me that the staff member who replaced her that evening wasn't nearly as competent or helpful. Still, I wouldn't go anywhere else -- Merion Tribute House had it all for me.
The staff and the place is amazing! Beyond a doubt the most beautiful place to have a wedding!
Storybook setting and ideal size/backdrop/foundation for a wedding of 100-150. The staff are fantastic and extremely accomodating. Definitely go to tastings and check out photos to see how other couples decorated and personalized the MTH for th...
eir special day. The amount of compliments we received of how beautiful/elegant/unique our wedding and reception was in mid-October are still pouring in!
Colette was so helpful, accommodating, and reassuring during the entire year of planning that it really allayed any anxiety and concern that we might have had! The venue is as if you've stepped out of a fairytale and we were thrilled to have it...
be the location of our happiest of days! We were able to come on site many times to visualize and plan our decorations and lay out. Any questions we had were answered promptly and professionally. Our wedding took place on the hottest day of the summer (105 degrees) so we were able to take advantage of the alternate ceremony location and use the legion room! Truly it was perfect!! It made our ceremony that much more intimate and allowed our guests to hear everything our wonderful officiant said and gave us the feeling that we really were closely surrounded by all of our loved ones! Seeing the landscape, castle-like building, and beautiful gardens as the backdrop for our pictures afterwards, it further reaffirmed that we definitely made the right choice in venues! The new renovations in the ballroom were also such a hit as the carpet, light fixtures, paint, dance floor, and draperies really were able to preserve the classic feel of the room but give it a beautifully updated touch!
My husband and I fell in love with this venue as soon as we saw it. It gives you the old estate feel with the room to fit everyone in the ballroom. The staff was courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. They were very helpful in the lay...
out of our wedding as well overall feel and atmosphere. We had about 150 guests attend for a seated dinner which was the perfect amount. There was room between tables and room for a dance floor. Our guests loved the location as well. The building and grounds are gorgeous and a perfect backdrop to our dream wedding.
Very accommodating, beautiful location. Nice staff. Quick replies on any questions.
I cannot say enough good things about the Merion Tribute House. The venue itself is beyond beautiful, which is one of the reasons my husband and I selected it. We had the ceremony and the reception at this location. Colette Speakman and the ...
entire staff at the Tribute House were great to work with and were always accessible to me with a quick response to all my questions. The ballroom can accomodate 175 guests, so be wary if you are having more than that. There are multiple locations to have the ceremony (inside and outside), so you can customize! Also a great venue for company parties, reunions, etc. But definitely most beautiful for a wedding. There is alot of history associated to the Tribute House, which is another reason we chose this venue. I have nothing but positive feedback for the Tribute House and its staff.
The stonework on this building is incredible. Beautiful grounds, nice landscaping. Built to honor veterans. The staff was personabl and very helpful. Accommodating to your needs. Storage and bridal suites availble. Pictures came out beautifully...
.
I was looking for a unique venue for my wedding reception and I found it in the Merion Tribute House. Colette offers wonderful customer service. The venue is flexible and lets you choose from a list of 9 or so caterers of varying price-points...
. The Tribute House is an amazing piece of architecture and has so many opportunities for photos. They offer off-season and off-day discounts and you supply your own alcohol, so it's excellent for a bride on a budget. I had a winter wedding and there are 2 large fireplaces that the venue tends to. It made the affair cozy and intimate.
Looking for a historic setting that will help you create a unique and memorable ambiance for your wedding? Then look no further! My husband and I had our reception at Merion Tribute House in March of 2009 and it was amazing. The venue fit in...
with our fairy tale theme and numerous guests commented that it actually looked like a castle.
The location offers a whimsical and rustic environment for wedding celebrations. The manager there was incredibly helpful and flexible about scheduling meetings, etc. The price is not bad, especially if you are able to do a winter or off-season event. There are about a dozen caterers that Merion Tribute House works with and you are able to select from that list. They also furnish you with a list of their other preferred vendors, but you are able to bring in outside vendors for everything except catering.
There are some incredible locations for photo ops throughout the venue including the front lawn (which offers a spectacular view of the whole building), an indoor stone balcony, a walk-in stone fireplace and beautiful arched doorways. My only regret is that I did not take advantage of all of them as I was opposed to "wasting" too much time on pictures.
It's also very helpful that there are several rooms in addition to the main ballroom where bars can be set up or your guests can just lounge for the cocktail hour. The main ballroom had great acoustics and the stage allowed for easy set-up for our DJs as well as provided the perfect place to stage the bouquet and garter toss.
Overall, I loved my day at Merion Tribute House and would not have wanted to host my reception anywhere else.
