Star|Bolt was an absolute dream venue for our wedding reception. Everything from the initial conversations, to the back an forth between Felicia (Star|Bolt event coordinator) and I about ALL the details, to the actual day of, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We hosted just our reception here, as we did a more intimate ceremony elsewhere the night before, and it was SO FUN. Not only did we have a great time, but so many of our guests came up to us during and after to tell us how beautiful the space was and how good the food and drinks were. The food was truly incredibly delicious and the drinks/service at both bars were top notch. Our DJ and our florist were able to work seamlessly with Star|Bolt's staff and space, which was so comforting. Speaking of the staff, as the event coordinator, Felicia did such an amazing job. She was incredibly professional while also being warm, candid, flexible and realistic. She was such a pleasure to work with. Their night of staff including the manager, the bartenders, the servers, and the kitchen staff all very clearly knew what they were doing. They seem to already be a well-oiled machine with running weddings. And as the bride (and I can speak for the groom), they were so amazing about taking care of US in particular - making sure we had plenty of food, drinks, and water at our table. Always asking if we needed anything. Again, truly such a fun, stress-free, beautiful experience and night. I would recommend Star|Bolt to anyone throwing a wedding or any sort of shindig. Thank you again for a wonderful night!

We reserved the back room to have a welcome happy hour event the night before our wedding. They even put our names in the marquee sign our front. Felicia and the staff were all fantastic to work with.  We had an incredible time and so did all of our guests! Will definitely recommend Starbolt for anyone looking to host private events in the future!

Star|Bolt is perfection! We hosted our wedding rehersal dinner and welcome drinks here in September and everything was amazing. Felicia is a dream to work with, she never said "no"...
to any of our crazy requests, only came back with a plan of how she could make it happen. She made planning a breeze and execution was flawless! Food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The room fit our 30 person dinner and opened up to host about 150 people for welcome drinks. We chose to have the karaoke DJ come in for the last hour and it was a HIT! We utilized the main room, side bar, and outdoor space. It was the best way to start off our wedding weekend! Can't say enough good things about the space and entire team!

We hosted our wedding at StarBolt on 10/4/2025 and had the absolute best experience. We did not have a wedding planner and Felicia, the event coordinator, was a breeze to work with...
. She was quick to respond, never stressed, and genuinely made everything really easy. Felicia and the team at Starbolt really understood that we wanted a wedding that was about the people and the things we loved (live band, flowers, and the Phillies game) and not about tradition only for tradition’s sake. The food was delicious and really impressed us and our guests. We were able to pick signature cocktails and loved having 3 bars for our guests.  We would recommend anyone looking at Starbolt as a venue to have their wedding here!

We had the best wedding experience at StarBolt!
 My partner and I just got married here and could not be happier with how everything turned out. We had a smaller, standing ceremony...
in the outdoor courtyard, followed by an unforgettable party with our friends and family. From the start, Felicia and the team were absolutely amazing to work with. They were incredibly communicative, supportive, and helped bring our vision to life .. and then execute it the night of! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue. We honestly wouldn't change a thing .. it was everything we hoped for and more!!

I hosted a surprise engagement party at StarBolt in Sept. 2024 and it was a fantastic time! Felicia was super helpful in planning the party and getting everything set up the day of...
the event. All of my guests kept complimenting the food/venue and had a great time at the party. After consultation, they were even willing to make some customized food options for the party which was awesome!! I will definitely be back another time, but if you are in need of a friendly venue with great food/drinks and atmosphere for your next private event, I'd highly recommend you checking out StarBolt! You are in great hands with Felicia and the StarBolt team!!
