Platform Thirty

Within moments of walking into Platform Thirty, my fiancée and I knew Platform Thirty was our wedding venue. We did not want a cookie cutter venue and Platform Thirty is far from that. It is a hidden gem in the heart of Manayunk. We received several compliments from our guests on the venue – it is a perfect blend of elegance, industrial chic, and charm. There are several areas for guests to enjoy throughout the night. The venue is situated on an active railroad line which makes for great pictures and convenient traveling for guests nearby. The railroad cannot be heard inside the venue. The venue offers many services including complimentary valet, cake included, up lighting, several banquette seating, champagne toast, two signature cocktails, and so much more. My fiancée and I enjoyed the large bridal suite for our bridal party and the DJ booth that was built into the venue to match the rest of the venue’s décor. Our wedding ceremony and reception took place at Platform Thirty; the room flipping was fast and everything was set up following our directions and vision. Platform Thirty is different from most venues we visited because the staff worked closely with us to create the perfect menu of passed hors d'oeuvres, cold & hot stations, dinner menu, and late night to go meals. We were able to add, subtract, and modify items until all parties were happy. Our guests raved about the food. The food was incredible and served on time! We are amazed at the quality and quantity of food; our guests continue to mention the food to us today. For our wedding, we utilized the TVs and projector available for use for photo slideshows during the formal dances. This was a nice added feature from the venue. In terms of value, Platform Thirty offered fantastic pricing, especially for being located within Philadelphia limits. Platform Thirty fit within our budget without compromising on quality. They made the pricing easy to understand by including all taxes, service fees, and any other fee within their per person cost rather than receiving a bill with hidden fees. Their package included a wedding coordinator to assist with questions throughout the planning process and this package covered all the essentials such as tables (both round and rectangle), linens, tableware, lighting, and so much more, which minimized additional costs and stress. The customer service was great even with some staffing changes near our wedding date. They were supportive and made sure they understood our wants, needs, and vision. Picking Platform Thirty was the best decision we made. The venue’s unique and elegant layout, the food, and the flexibility are just some of the things that we enjoyed most. We encourage everyone to check out the venue and hope others fall in love with it as much as we did.

I can't speak higher of Platform Thirty! Both Lisas were amazing in assisting my now husband and me with viewing the space and later planning the wedding. Lisa Gratzinger worked with my coordinator to set up all of our decorations and everything looked BEAUTIFUL. We are so grateful to have booked our wedding at P30 and will continue to recommend them to all of our family and friends!

Our Platform Thirty wedding experience was a delight! The Lisas (Lisa G and Lisa W) made sure that we were loved and cared for from the start of our planning journey. They responded to emails efficiently and were able to find answers to all of our questions. The venue suited our needs perfectly and is so lovely inside that you don't even need to think about wedding decor because it really does speak for itself. The included uplighting and pin spots enhanced the natural beauty of the setting. Our bartenders were amazing. Our waitstaff was wonderful. Valet parking made it convenient for our guests to drive if they wished but the location on the train is helpful too! They also provided so many options for us to enhance our wedding experience with vendor recommendations. We were able to have indoor fireworks/sparklers as a surprise! They had a great alcoholic beverage program as well as many options for providing enhancements to your guests. There is a spacious bridal suite as well as an area for their partner. Lisa Gratzinger is professional and makes you feel that your wedding experience is special and important. Our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere. We're really happy that we chose Platform Thirty for our day and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and affordable wedding venue in Philadelphia!
