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 exceptional 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!
Our wedding reception was held in the Grand Ballroom at Drexelbrook. The entire evening was perfect. The venue was stunningly decorated with (tablescapes/floral/layout) with exquisite attention to detail that matched our vision and personalities. The staff was attentive to my husband and I all night and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing , and our guests are still raving about it. The Drexelbrook is THE perfect spot to have your reception!
I booked The Drexelbrook 2.5 years early and working with Christina was an absolute star as she had incredible attention to detail and made sure every single one of my questions were answered in a timely manner.
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!!
If you want delicious wedding food, look no further than The Drexelbrook! Not only did we think the food was amazing, but our guests were raving about it too. Working with The Drexelbrook was a dream, the communication, professionalism and energy of the entire staff is 10/10. We couldn't have been happier with how our wedding went. The entire thing was smoothly executed and the team could't have been better. We will always recommend The Drexelbrook!
The Drexelbrook was absolutely amazing! We worked with Sydney and Jeannie, and they made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. They were always willing to accommodate 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!
My husband and I recently held our wedding reception at The Drexelbrook in the Grand Ballroom. I cannot begin to put into words how much of a positive experience we had with The Drexelbrook! 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! We had our wedding in the mansion and all of the staff was super helpful from set up to break down and answering all of our questions leading up to the wedding. They coordinated everything with our vendors super easily and I appreciated that everyone knew what they were doing at all times. The party turned out great!
Thank you Christina and The Drexelbrook team!
Everything from beginning to end was amazing!! Jean and Sydney worked with us through everything and helped us every step of the way! They made the planning process so smooth and stress 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 such 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 above 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 Drexelbrook 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 not 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!!!
The Drexelbrook gave us our dream wedding and we couldn't be happier! they worked with us on every detail and made sure it was how we wanted. The food was amazing and all the staff 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 have 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!!
My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception on the mansion side of Drexelbrook on 2/26/22. The entire staff at Drexelbrook was organized and professional. We worked closely with 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 anniversary. 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 wedding 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 provided 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 online 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 wedding 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!
Our wedding at the Drexelbrook in May was an absolute DREAM! First, from start to finish our coordinator Anthony was such a sweetheart- so helpful, organized, and knowledgable about all things wedding! He really made everything come together :) Second, the staff especially Diamond and Fatima were great! They were at our every beck and call and made sure we had a drink in hand at all times!! -thanks guys! Besides the amazing staff the next best thing about the drexelbrook is the food- EVERYTHING is yummy... and you can't beat the new hotel that is ATTACHED to the venue!! This place exceeded my expectations tenfold... Check it out!
Our wedding at the Drexelbrook in July exceeded our expectations by a long shot! It was absolutely perfect and looked like something out of a fairytale. They really went above and 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 biggest 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 requirements. 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 paid 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!!!
Drexelbrook was amazing ! I cannot day enough great things about it. The staff, planner, and servers were all so generous! They did a perfect job at decorating! I was blown away when 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 encounter 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 accommodate 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 day 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 having 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 looked 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!
We loved Drexelbrook! Our experience with the staff was beyond wonderful! Our wedding planner Jean Fernandez was so accommodating to our schedule and our requests. The captain was stupendous he meticulously oversaw our wedding! Words cannot express the pleasure and joy it was to work with the drexelbrook staff!
My husband and I had to plan our wedding long distance, which usually would make things very difficult but Jean was very understanding and accommodating to our situation! Whenever we knew we would be in town (usually last minute), Drexelbrook was always more than happy to help us out and get us situated for the wedding. Everything went so smoothly and the reception staff was FANTASTIC! They knew who the bride, groom and our parents and grandparents were and always made sure we had a full glass and knew in advance when the next event would be! The reception was decorated so beautifully and I hardly had to do anything! Wonderful, beautiful venue with GREAT staff! Thank our Drexelbrook for making our dream wedding a reality!

If I could do the wedding all over again I would not change anything other than me worrying. Franklin commons and Drexelbrook were the best in everything. They were easy to work with and gave me free reign for being creative. Kim Savino and her staff were excellent. Kim was readily available and prompt at answering all my questions and reassuring me tha t her staff would take care of everything the day of. And believe me she didn't let me down. In fact they went above and beyond all my expectations. The food was delicious and kept coming. My nephew is still racing over the cheesesteak egg rolls. I truly couldn't have been more please with everything. My friends are still impressed with how the wedding turned out Definitely a place for a wedding or any big event
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we know that the Drexelbrook team played a huge role in making every moment amazing.
From the minute we sat down with Domenick, we knew we were in good hands. Everything from the initial planning to the big day was perfect. The level of service provided by the Drexelbrook staff was incredible; our guests are still talking about it!
Mike and I cannot thank the Drexelbrook enough for making our wedding day a dream come true. You were absolutely amazing!
Our wedding and reception were held at the Drexelbrook on October 1,2016. We choose the Drexelbrook after touring many local venues and found the Drexelbrook had the most beautiful setting and a wedding package that had everything we wanted. The south and center ballroom is spacious enough that it held our large families comfortably. Although rain made our outdoor ceremony not possible we were able to have our pictures taken outside in the gazebo and gardens which were beautiful. The day was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Anthony D'Angelo, our wedding coordinator, and the whole Drexelbrook team took our dream and made it come true. Every time I turned around that day the Drexelbrook team was there to ask if they could help in anyway or get me anything. Our wedding guests couldn't stop talking about the amazing food that was offered during cocktail hour and the reception. The day was amazing and everything we thought it would be . Thank you everyone on the Drexelbrook team for making our day so special.
I cannot begin to describe how impressed we were with Drexelbrook's services. They were truly professional and helped us throughout the entire process of planning to our actual day of. They made sure everything ran smoothly, and things stayed to schedule, so the bride and groom did not have to worry about anything! We were truly cared for the entire night. My guests were raving about the food, the service, the hospitality, and the organization. They kept coming to us to make sure we did not need anything throughout the night and were helpful in making sure everything was perfect on our wedding day! I highly recommend Drexelbrook to future brides because the wedding venue was beautiful, and the staff was truly accommodating! We love Drexelbrook!
As soon as we walked in the 'Mansion' ballroom, we knew we found the place. Our wedding was on Oct. 8, 2016 and the place was Gorgeous, exactly what was envisioned (possibly better!). Planning the wedding was made easy as a few things were already included in the package, saving us on flowers/centerpieces and the cake (for instance). Mr. Anthony D'Angelo, our wedding planner, was wonderful and helpful from the minute we met! And the captain and Maitre'D were on point, attending to our every need, as my groom and I were busy greeting our guests! The day of our wedding, it rained, which ruined our plans for outdoor photos. We were freaking out a bit, but Drexelbrook (specially Anthony and his team) were able to let us use plenty of the indoor settings, which are beautiful, and at the last minute, and we could not thank them enough for essentially doing cartwheels to accommodate us and make our special day even better! The food is excellent, and there was no hungry guest afterwards! Everybody who talked to us expressed how beautiful the place is, and how delicious the food is! They made us feel like royalty, and the prices per guest, compared to other places are very reasonable. I would strongly suggest this place to any of my friends for any occasion.
I had my reception at Drexelbrook on August 20, 2016 and everything was wonderful. Although I did not get to taste any hors d'oeuvres my guests said everything was great. Anthony D'Angelo was our wedding coordinator and was incredibly accommodating especially when we had last minute changes. It was very nice to have flowers and cake included as well as gratuity to see what we could afford. Even when we came in under budget Anthony was very helpful in guiding us to pick the right 'extras' to make the experience that much better.
We loved Drexelbrook! Our experience with the entire staff from beginning to end was absolutely wonderful. We loved Christine Lyle! She was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. I loved how the staff worked as a team. If your coordinator was not available someone on the team would help with such enthusiasm. My guest are still talking about how great the food was and how attentive and accommodating the staff was. Fatima took such great care of my husband and I that day. She was on point with everything. Even my guest noticed! Drexelbrook is beautiful inside and out. I would and will recommend Drexel brook to any and everyone and let them know they will not be disappointed.
From the start, Drexelbrook was easy to work with and easy going. You could tell they knew exactly what they were doing, but weren't overly pushy. We worked with Jeannie, who was an absolute pleasure the entire time. The actual day/night of our wedding was so seamless, we were more than pleased. The staff did an excellent job all around. If you are looking for an easy, but helpful, planning experience and a stress-free wedding night - THIS is your answer!
We chose Drexelbrook because of their reputation for customer service and attention to details. I'm a very type A and anxious person and wanted to trust my ceremony and reception site. I wanted to be able to relax on our wedding day. Drexelbrook gave me that piece of mind that I so rarely get.
Our sales rep, Christina Lyle, was phenomenal. She is so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and full of ideas. She graciously rolled with every thing I changed, was open to my ideas, and has a wealth of insight on weddings in general.
From our experience with Christina, we knew Drexelbrook would be great on our wedding day, but we were totally blown away with everyone's kindness, patience, and attentiveness. Every single staff member was amazing to us and our guests. We had so many people comment on how wonderful everyone at Drexelbrook was treating them and that they wanted for nothing. Everyone LOVED the food. In my opinion, you get more than what you pay for here. The food never stopped and every bite was amazing!
Ray, our maitre'd, was a dream. I could learn a lot from his patience! He was so attentive to everyone. So many people in my bridal party and family mentioned that Ray came up, knew him or her by name, and helped when somebody needed it. He was also so kind with my dad and needed assistance with his oxygen tank/machine.
I would recommend them a thousand times for your wedding - ceremony and reception!
My fiancé and I extensively researched and visited numerous wedding venues in the Philadelphia area. Drexelbrook was unequivocally our top wedding venue for so many reasons.
We were attracted to Drexelbrook’s well-established reputation in event and catering, elegant wow factor of the South ballroom and South Terrace gazebo, and variety of freshly prepared food & beverage selection.
Since we were an out of town bride and groom that lived in different states, their wedding package really helped saved us time and worry. Their package included extras not found at other venues such as a custom wedding cake from one of Philadelphia top wedding cake bakeries, floral centerpieces, Chiavari ballroom chairs, large colorful selection of linens and napkins, and complimentary guest parking.
Overall, the professional, friendly, responsive staff was what solidified our choice. From our first meeting with our Drexelbrook wedding coordinator Christina Lyle, we sensed her genuine excitement in planning our wedding. During the year and a half of correspondences, she always happily answered our million questions and worked tirelessly to accommodate our requests. We were pleasantly surprised the week before our wedding, when she added free upgrades to make our wedding day extra special.
The day of the wedding confirmed we had made the right choice. Ray, Ginny, Kim, and their staff always made sure my fiancé and I were well taken care of and fed. The Drexelbrook team worked their magic and made the day flowed seamlessly. Drexelbrook, thank you for an amazing day we will never forget!
Drexelbrook is the place to have your event hands down! My wedding was last weekend and it was honestly beyond my dream wedding. The entire planning process was so easy and the day of was so amazing. The staff Dominick, Kim, Diamond, Danielle and everyone else is the best of the best. The venue is beautiful and the staff will cater to your every need. Don't look at any other venue Drexelbrook is beyond words. There is nothing else like them, I checked. People are still raving about my wedding. Every single person said its the best wedding they've ever seen or been to they couldn't get over it!!! If I could give Drexelbrook more stars I would. I don't have one complaint and a novel worth of great things to say. Drexelbrook is worth it they are the BEST!
The Drexelbrook was a dream come true! The service and professionalism of all of the staff was amazing. Our wedding coordinator, Anthony D'Angelo, was the best. He was accommodating and so easy to work with. Our guests raved about our wedding and still continue to talk about how perfect it was. Everything we had envisioned was made a reality on July 17, 2015. We will never forget the Drexelbrook and their amazing staff. We wish we could live the day all over again! Thanks to the Drexelbrook was helping to create the best day of our lives!
Drexelbrook was one word: PERFECT. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the hall was and better yet, how amazing the food was!!! Numerous people told us that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding!! The Drexelbrook staff was beyond attendant at the wedding, catering to our every need as bride and groom. I would HIGHLY SUGGEST you book Drexelbrook as their prices are quite affordable and the service is impeccable. I wish we could do our wedding all over again at Drexelbrook! Anthony was our wedding planner and he was amazing - perfect with every detail. Thank you so much to Drexelbrook for making our wedding day perfect!!
