Reading Terminal Market

When we tell people we were having our wedding reception at Reading Terminal Market, they were always a little surprised and their next reaction was "that is going to be SO COOL!" And after we had our wedding, our guest did nothing but rave about how fun, unique and perfect the reception was. But just having a reception at RTM is not what I'd recommend it. It was so much more. It was having the incredible variety of foods - we had cheesesteaks, DiNic's roast pork, Chinese food, a salad bar, poutine and corn dogs, grilled cheese from Meltkraft, the list goes on. It was having a historic and unique setting that was transformed into a beautiful evening even with string lights, candles, table clothes, decorations and provided an ambiance it'd be impossible to replicate anywhere else. It was the servers who attended to our guests every need, kept the party going, the room clean and the people happy. It was every little touch that the planning team executed perfectly for us, that all happened without us realizing it, without any reminders or questions. The planning team at All About Events were the true heroes of the night - and in fact, the whole planning process. We met with them about 15 months before our wedding, and Christina, Stevie and Liam made sure that everything was easy, fun and exciting. Christina's emails to us were always clear and thorough, addressing every little question I had asked, and pointing out tiny things I never would have thought of. Stevie's communication with our vendors was so appreciated, including our Mummers and DJ! And every time we met with them, the meetings were exciting, joyful. Their personalities and kindness and caring for us and our events just SHONE. We could not recommend RTM and AAE more. They are a truly wonderful team, and a gem in the Philadelphia wedding scene. I hope that we get to go to another event at the market soon, and we will certainly keep them in mind for our 10th anniversary vow renewal!!!!

We couldn’t be happier that we selected Reading Terminal Market for our post-wedding brunch! We rented the Rick Nichols room for a flat fee and then purchased gift cards so that our guests could explore the market and choose whichever brunch items appealed to them throughout the market. A buffet option was available, but we thought supplying the gift cards allowed more flexibility. All the food that our guests brought back to the room looked delicious and my husband and I even discovered a few new shops! An amazing time, affordable rate, and a great way to send off our guests from a wonderful weekend. We look forward to many future strolls through RTM!

Our experience at Reading Terminal was great! Sarah was really helpful throughout the planning process and Stevie did a great job coordinating all the other vendors. The space looked great, and there was so much amazing food and drinks. During the wedding, the staff was very attentive to us and made sure we got something to eat and had everything we needed. Many guests said it was the most fun and unique wedding they have been to. I highly recommend Reading Terminal!!!

I would have never thought that one of our favorite places in Philly could also be the most perfect and unique wedding venue! We had our ceremony and reception at the Reading Terminal Market, and everything about it was absolutely incredible. Christina and Stevie with All About Events were exceptional in helping us through all of the planning and logistics. The venue and menu options are endless, and they were great in helping us customize our wedding day to really reflect us. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding night flawless and very special, we felt like rock stars all night long! Our guests had the best time and have yet to stop raving about it all - the amazing transformation, the laid back vibe, the delicious food, and just an overall wonderful time. Thank you for helping make our wedding night so magnificent and unforgettable!!!

The advice I would give a couple trying to decide whether or not to book this venue is, do it. If you want a truly unique Philly style wedding, this is your spot. Our guests have been raving about how cool the venue was, and how great the food was. If you care a lot about food, this is the best spot for you. The staff at All About Events (Sarah and Stevie) were excellent. They were very responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. They helped us come up with the perfect menu, and helped us tweak little things to stay within budget. There are so many different options for the menu, so it was hard to choose. Sarah and Stevie also helped us decide the right amount of food to order, and it worked out perfectly. They were extremely flexible and patient with us, and made sure every detail we wanted came together. We especially appreciated how Sarah and Stevie worked behind the scenes with our other vendors, which made it so that we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. The wedding went perfectly, and we would not change a thing.

We used RTM for our Rehearsal dinner and it was truly amazing. The way we came into it, was a little bit of a frazzle as our previous vendor had some complications very close to our date. Working with Rebecca and Stevie, they were able to accommodate us and make it so that we had a great night. They were so nice and helped us out in such a pinch that we can't thank them enough. Wonderful atmosphere in the beer garden, Molly Malloy's. Also everyone raved about the food. Very good and I would highly recommend!

From the very start, my husband and I were impressed by how quickly and effectively the team at RTM communicated with us. They were incredibly flexible with our crazy work schedules and were always professional, friendly, and organized. We worked closely with Adrienne, Bree, Donna, Stevie, and a few other AMAZING team members over 13 months and I could not imagine having our big day go as smoothly as it did without them. I truly am so thankful to have worked with these ladies. The venue itself is one that friends and family are (still) raving over. It's nontraditional grazing stations, food options, and general ambiance make for the perfect "party" that we wanted our reception to be. Using simple candles and centerpieces and string lights, we were able to transition from the classic formal tone we had set at the ceremony into the relaxed and joyous tone that we wanted to set for the reception. If you have a sizable guest list and are a Philly phoodie, we couldn't recommend this venue more.

We had our reception at the Reading Terminal Market and from the very first moment we met with Sarah and the team there we knew that we were going to have an exciting and unique reception (with the best food ever!) Our guests were beyond amazed with the way the space was transformed into a BEAUTIFUL party. The team there had everyone on the dance floor, totally fed and having a great time. It was also a great way for our family from Philly to enjoy an important city landmark, and for our out of town guests to get a true Philadelphia experience. We are so grateful for Sarah's organization, honesty, and amazing attitude that helped to make our wedding at the RTM the best night of our lives.
