During the planning process, we were between Union Trust and another venue around the corner. Ultimately we chose UT/Finley because we felt immediately taken care of by our coordin...
ator Chelsea. The wedding industry can feel like a machine, but she made us feel like weren't just another couple. We immediately connected with her and simply wanted to keep working with her!
Once booked, multiple other vendors made a point to tell us how great Union Trust was going to be. We heard comments about the amazing food, the organization of the night, and almost always, how fantastic Thomas, the Matre'D is. I think one potential vendor said he was 'the best guy in the entire wedding industry'. He was totally right. I mean WOW. We knew we made a great choice booking Union Trust but we didn't realize we were inviting our guests to the wedding of the century. It's been over a month and we continue to hear raves about how incredible the food was, how gorgeous the venue is, and how attentive and professional the staff are. We were BLOWN AWAY by the level of service. It was a perfect night and the staff at Finley made sure of it!
Get ready to hear about how 'this is the best wedding i've ever been to' and if you can, ask for Chelsea!

Let me start by saying that I am a harsh grader, so Union Trust truly earned this review. Everyone on the team went above and beyond for us. Chelsea (our coordinator) was always qu...
ick to respond and flexible to meet our requests.
The day of team was amazing! They all knew exactly what needed to be done and were on top of it! The entire bridal party was treated like royalty. We had food and drinks waiting for us upon arrival before the party even started. They made sure we were all well taken care of!
Also our day-of-coordinator bailed on us the night before, but Union Trust stepped up their game and took care of everything.
The venue was also stunning! The food was delicious! The location is great. We had so many compliments from basically all of our guests. Truly could not ask for a better venue.

Definitely book Union Trust for your wedding. Chelsea was our event coordinator and was incredibly easy to work with. She helped personalize our day, including accommodating small ...
menu changes, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. Because of everything the team handled, our wedding planning was truly stress-free and allowed us to enjoy the fun parts, like food and cake tastings.
Working with Thomas during the week of the wedding was just as seamless. We handed over details like menu cards and bar signs, and Union Trust took care of the rest.
A few tips for future couples: definitely try the Chilean sea bass, include the pin spot lighting, and consider a Christmas-time wedding. The holiday décor is stunning and meant we didn’t need to decorate much at all.
On the day of the wedding, Finley Catering went above and beyond. Having an attendant to help bustle my gown and bring us drinks throughout the night was such a thoughtful touch. Our parents also had attendants at their tables, so they never had to wait at the bar. It was truly exceptional service, and we are so grateful to this entire team.

d Finley Catering because of the consistently glowing reviews, and they exceeded every expectation.
Our wedding day went incredibly smoothly thanks to the Maitre' D Thomas, Bridal Attendant Lisa and their entire team. Leading up to the wedding, we primarily worked with our wedding coordinator Daria, and when she unexpectedly left close to our date, we were understandably a bit nervous. Grace stepped in seamlessly and immediately put us at ease—we knew we were in excellent hands.
The level of organization and professionalism from Thomas, Lisa and the team was truly impressive. Weddings can feel chaotic, but they have the process completely down to a science. We felt genuinely taken care of every step of the way.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was—especially in December, when it’s decorated with twinkling lights, garlands and birch trees. And the food was absolutely incredible. There was so much of it, and everything was delicious—no one left hungry.
We were completely blown away and couldn’t recommend Union Trust and Finley Catering more highly.

ism from EVERY employee was phenomenal. The owner's mother came to the venue on the actual day to just check in on all of us. I have never heard of anything like that from a business, and especially in the wedding industry. The food was delicious and we got many compliments on it and the beautiful venue from our guests. Everything ran like clockwork and the bride and groom were so thrilled that their day turned out exactly as they hoped it would. Everyone left with happy and positive memories of their wedding day. If you're looking for a great experience, definitely contact Union Trust.

These five star reviews are REAL! This was by far the best decision we made for wedding planning. For context, my husband wanted the big wedding, I did NOT. But Finley Catering/Uni...
on Trust made the entire process so seamless, easy, and actually somewhat enjoyable. From our first inquiry, Brooke was so quick to respond and was so informative from the very beginning. She was assigned to us as our event coordinator and she answered every single question and listened to every one of our requests. I even had a few surprises that I had to hide from my husband and her and Thomas did an exception job doing just that. Brooke helped us for over a year during our engagement, and Thomas executed everything perfectly the few days prior and day of (he even pulled us aside during the event so we could have a few minutes to ourselves as a couple to soak in the moment). Our guests have repeatedly told us how great the food was and how nice the staff was during the entire event. Union Trust in itself is stunning, but Finley Catering does such an exceptional job at maximizing everything. Last but not least, our bridal attendant, Micel was INCREDIBLE. Every time I turned my head she was there with a plate of food, a bottled water, and my signature drink. She knew I didn’t drink alcohol, so she gave me sparkling cider for our toast. She even helped me out of my dress when I wanted to do an outfit change! We cannot say thank you enough to Brooke, Thomas, and Micel as they made this process and wedding day one to remember. If you’re thinking about this venue, BOOK IT!

Our wedding at Union Trust in Philadelphia was an absolutely magical experience, and a huge part of that is thanks to the remarkable team at Finley Catering—especially our coordina...
tor, Brooke Brewer, and our Maître D', Thomas Fowler. If you’re looking to get married in the Tri-state area, look no further than Union Trust!
From our very first tour of the stunning Union Trust venue, Brooke was with us every step of the way. Her expertise and guidance were simply invaluable. Brooke meticulously walked us through every selection—delicious menu options, stunning design choices, seating arrangements, and vendor coordination. Her calm demeanor and thorough organization made the planning process incredibly smooth and truly stress-free. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and we always felt supported and understood throughout our wedding journey.
On the day of our rehearsal and the wedding itself, Thomas Fowler was a true standout. He kept even potentially stressful moments lighthearted and fun with his wonderful sense of humor. Thomas was exceptionally organized during the rehearsal, making sure everyone knew their cues, and on our wedding day he was the maestro behind the scenes, ensuring everything went exactly as planned. Thanks to Thomas’s attentiveness and ability to manage all the moving parts, we were able to fully relax and soak in every moment of our special day, confident that we were in the most capable hands.
While Union Trust is undeniably a breathtaking venue, it’s the exceptional service and dedication of professionals like Brooke and Thomas that truly elevate the entire experience. We are so grateful to them and to the whole Finley Catering team for making our wedding day seamless, joyful, and absolutely perfect.
We highly recommend Union Trust to any couple planning their wedding—you will be in the best hands possible!

After hearing great things about Finley Catering and Union Trust, we had high expectations for our wedding venue, and Union Trust exceeded them in every way! From our very first me...
eting with Chelsea, we knew we'd found the right fit. She was an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire planning process – incredibly helpful with great suggestions and guidance, kind, professional, always quick to communicate, and genuinely made every step of planning stress-free and fun.
As our wedding day approached, Thomas, our Maitre D', stepped in to expertly guide us. His vast experience and invaluable suggestions truly helped us maximize every moment of our ceremony and reception. And the wedding day itself? It was flawless, completely surpassing all expectations for us and our guests.
The entire Union Trust team is seriously top-notch. Chelsea, Thomas, our amazing wedding attendant Robin, fantastic bartenders Chris and Rich, and every crew member supporting the event worked seamlessly. Our guests are still raving about the exceptional quality and incredible expansiveness of the food and drinks, as well as the impeccable service. It felt like they anticipated our every need – we never had to ask for a single thing; Chelsea, Thomas, or Robin were there with it in hand before we even realized we needed it.
Leaving that night, not only were we married, but we were hugging the staff and felt like we'd made new friends – an experience truly unique from any other wedding we've attended. This is the ultimate testament to how extraordinary the staff at Union Trust truly is. If you're looking for a venue that delivers on every promise and then some, Union Trust is it!

our wedding day went without a single flaw. Thomas, the maitre’d, and our lovely bridal attendant for the evening ensured we always had food, a drink in hand, and anything we needed for a perfect night. Our guests raved about the amount and quality of the food, drink, and how easy UT made everything (parking, bathrooms, ceremony, etc.) We would choose them for our wedding every time!

My husband and I originally wanted a small, intimate dinner party wedding at a local Philly restaurant. But as the story usually goes, we quickly realized that we have too many fri...
ends and family members that we couldn’t imagine the day without. So we had to go back to the drawing board for the venue.
Having attended several Finley events myself, I already knew that they were top notch. I reached out to them for a quote and they provided me with more than enough information for us to make our decision to go with them. And then there is the space…from the moment we stepped into Union Trust, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding—and our experience exceeded every expectation. The venue is stunning and with the expertise of Finley Catering, they made our day absolutely unforgettable.
From start to finish, the team was wonderful to work with. Brooke the event coordinator was always quick to answer all of my questions. On the wedding day, Thomas, the witty maître d’, ensured that everything ran flawlessly—his attention to detail is impeccable. The entire staff was thoughtful, professional, attentive and our bridal attendant, Marcella, went above and beyond to take care of every little need throughout the night.
Our guests are still raving about the incredible food and atmosphere. We can’t thank the team at Union Trust and Finley Catering enough for making our wedding a dream come true.

The food was outstanding and our guests are still talking about it ( and how full they were). Our coordinator Daria, was incredible and saw my vision from the beginning!! She was also the best hype girl to have before your grand walk down the stairs and the aisle! Thomas made sure our ceremony and night went smoothly. They even packed up our leftover dinner so that we could relive our wedding dinner the next day. I can't recommend Finley Catering enough!!! And if you appreciate beautiful architecture and gorgeous intricate details, then Union Trust is your venue! If you have a particular color theme that you want to see play out, I would also highly recommend this venue!

The food was exceptional, the service impeccable, and the after party kept the celebration going perfectly. The venue's natural beauty combined with Finley's expertise made for an absolutely perfect wedding day.

Finley is truly the best of the best! We felt so taken care of and every detail was perfect at our Union Trust wedding.
Thomas was our maitre'd at UT and he is incredible. Everythi...
ng ran so smoothly -- he perfectly orchestrated the ceremony rehearsal (about an hour before the ceremony), the ceremony, and getting everyone upstairs for cocktails and then back downstairs for the reception. My parents loved that the servers knew exactly where to place all the different meals (didn't have to ask 'who got the steak?') and that Thomas and Lisa were continuously checking in on them to make sure they had everything they would need.
On top of the absolutely stunning venue, the food is top notch and our guests were raving about how good everything was. The cocktail hour display is INSANE with an ice sculpture and multiple stations overflowing with food.
We didn't get too many upgrades, but did get the 4 sparklers (2 on the balcony and 2 on the dance floor) and it was 10000% worth it!! Guests were absolutely blown away at our entrance on the balcony with the sparklers and the sparklers on the dance floor kept the vibe all night.
Steph was our coordinator and was on top of communication and answering all my questions right away.
We ended up with 100 guests which is below their minimum but the venue and team were so top notch -- I would recommend Finley to everyone!

It’s a really beautiful venue. It fits 180 max. They were great at creating a personalized quote based on the upgrades we wanted. I was underwhelmed with the sales experience....
It’s not the kind of venue that finds a way to a yes. They are prepared to lose business even for minor things. Our signature drinks were not made correctly, which was disappointing the day of. I didn’t get a full slice of the wedding cake and when I complained the only option was to cut into the top layer of our 5 tier cake. We had 135 ppl so there should have been leftover cake. Overall, I would recommend people go in eyes wide open that the service won’t be exceptional and make sure you get a good wedding planner to help advocate for you.

We got married at Union Trust last weekend, and we had the most wonderful experience with them and are so happy with our decision. We did our ceremony there as well as our cocktail...
hour and reception. We also utilized the Bridal Suite to get ready throughout the morning. Stephanie was our coordinator, and she was great. Extremely organized and helped with all of our questions and needs. Thomas helps run the show week of/day of, and he was 100% on top of everything. We did not have a wedding planner, and I didn't feel like I needed one because Finley Catering/Union Trust really handles everything for you. We didn't do an after party there, but we did opt in for the snacks at the end (pretzels and Insomnia Cookies), and that was a great decision. Also, they wrap extra cake up for guests to take on their way out, which was a nice touch. So many of our guests raved over the food and the level of service they received throughout the night, and Lisa and Tracey who helped me in the Bridal Suite all day were amazing. I honestly don't know if there are words that can adequately express how grateful we are for Finley's help and leadership in making it a perfect wedding. We are so happy that we decided to have our wedding celebration at Union Trust, and we really couldn't have asked for the day to have gone any better.

She answered our million questions with ease and we loved working with her from the moment we met her. Our guests thought the venue was stunning, and we regularly are still receiving compliments about how incredible the food, bar, and service was.
The team at the Union Trust/Finley Catering is a dream to work with. They made us feel right at home, and we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with them. The bridal attendants and servers were so thoughtful and helpful, and Thomas (maître d') was so organized and made sure everything remained on schedule for us. When it came time to settle our invoice, there were no surprise charges, due to the team's excellent and clear communication from the start.
We can't thank the team at Union Trust/Finley Catering enough for making our wedding day a dream come true. We wouldn't think twice to book another event with Finley Catering--they're truly excellent.

ible! All of my wedding dreams came true with this venue.
The staff at Union Trust made my wedding what it was. I got married on the rainiest March day in Philadelphia history and my dress was covered in dirt at the start of my reception. Lisa (bridal attendant) cleaned my dress with dress cleaner and bustled it perfectly so that no one could see the flaws. Chelsea (my coordinator) was incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process. She even threw in surprise sparklers that made our introduction epic!! Lastly, Thomas (maitre d) managed the night seamlessly with the flow of the event. He made it all happen and I am so thankful to have had him there to help.
Our wedding was 165 guest and we had an 11 piece band - it was slightly tight on the dance floor but it made it more fun! I cannot recommend Union Trust enough. I want to be invited there as a guest so I can experience it all over again from the other side.

Union Trust was our dream venue. On our initial visit, we were greeted by Emily Hassinger, a perfect human and representative to the company. She was knowledgeable about everything...
Union Trust had to offer, was down to earth, and her energy radiated! She made it easy for us to see us celebrating the biggest moment in our lives with them. After the walkthrough, we spoke about costs and the Finley package. She spoke to us about everything that was included, all the different food and drink options, and gave us lists for vendors. We also went through a detailed list of upgrades that we could add onto our base package to make the event more specified to our wants. One of the biggest things that set Union Trust apart was their all inclusive price, which included tax and tips. When looking at other venues, their "per person" cost did not include any of these fees which quickly set Finley to the top in our eyes.
With Finley, we were able to enjoy a free group tasting with other people getting married at Union Trust. This allowed us to talk to others about what they were planning on doing at the same venue. The food at the tasting was phenomenal and they allowed you to try a LOT of food! At this event, we could see how all the upgrades looked in person, instead of mere pictures. Our favorite upgrade which was the basis for our whole theme was their beautiful white dance floor with gold stripes. We immediately put that on our want list and all of our decor and conversations with vendors quickly shifted. We loved that Finley had a collaboration with The Master's Baker, which provided a free 4 tier cake as part of the package.
When we walked into the venue the day of the wedding, every bit of planning we did was worth it. Without Emily and Thomas, our maitre'd, I don't know how the event would have turned out. They met with us about 3 times before the wedding happened (not including the 573 emails sent through the process) to ensure that everything we wanted and changed in contracts was followed through on, collected all of our decor and supplies for the wedding, and then accurately set it up exactly as we had envisioned! They were amiable to all of our vendors and had the event running like a well-oiled machine.
The staff there that night made us feel like kings and had everything moving in a timely manner. Our main server ensured that we were happy, got enough food from the cocktail hour, served us beverages, and checked in on us often to make sure we were well hydrated and fed so we didn't get too sloppy! She also made sure that our parents were taken care of! We also had another server who made it her personal goal to ensure that my Nan & Pop (and yes, she called them Nan & Pop) were treated like gold. She would bring them food at cocktail hour so they didn't have to move around, grab them drinks, and even packed food to go when they didn't want to eat at the moment. The staff made sure to enjoy themselves through the course of the night: we saw them bopping to the songs, singing out loud, and when we pulled them to the dance floor they made sure to cut a rug! All of these little things meant everything to us!
We could not have been blessed with a better venue. We had always been told that on your day, something WILL go wrong and will not be as you planned. With Union Trust leading the way, we can honestly say that our wedding was perfectly executed.

We had the ceremony and afterparty at the venue space as well and it was amazing how well everything was run. As the bride, I was overwhelmed with planning a wedding. However, my mind was at ease knowing that Finley takes care of everything. After our final meeting with our day of coordinator, Thomas, I went into the day so calm. The venue was breathtaking and we loved that we utilized the levels for the ceremony and reception entrance. Everything was absolutely perfect. Lisa was the day-of attendant and she was wonderful. She helped me calm myself before walking down the aisle, and was there all night making sure I had everything that I needed. Our guests were blown away by everything – the venue, the sparklers, and the food. There was so much food for cocktail hour, dinner was restaurant-quality, and the dessert bar was a huge hit. I can’t wait to attend a Finley venue as a guest and be able to enjoy their perfection again!

From the beginning our wedding coordinator Emily H. was in constant communication with us. She helped us in securing our date and made sure all our questions were answered in a timely manner. Even when we panic emailed her concerned that our 196 guests and dueling piano band wouldn't fit into the event space, she put us at ease. I think our 160 plus email chain goes to show how compassionate and dedicated she really is. Emily is a true professional and made the process all the more enjoyable for us.
On the days leading up to our wedding and on the day of Thomas was also there to keep things running smoothly. He made sure everything was perfect, went according to plan, and that the day was about us.
And if our words weren't enough, our family and guests also had nothing but good things to say too. They all raved about the food and service. From the waitress staff to the bartenders it couldn't have been a better experience.
To Emily, Thomas, and all the staff at Union Trust, we can't thank you enough for making our wedding truly the best night of our lives!

Our wedding at Union Trust was an absolute dream. There is no doubt that this was all thanks to the amazing Finley team. From the day of our first tour, Brooke was helpful and resp...
onsive and answered our many questions with timeliness and transparency. She made sure every detail was thought about leading up to the big day. The day of crew was absolutely phenomenal - the attention to detail was beyond my expectations. Thomas was on top of everything and kept things moving exactly as we had planned. Lisa was a bride’s dream come true - everything I needed, she was already two steps ahead. We were warned by many that the wedding day would be stressful/would fly by in a blur, but Thomas & Lisa proved them all wrong. The bridal suite is beautiful with plenty of space for our bridal party of ten to get ready and an attendant all morning. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was. I can’t imagine it gets much better than Finley - the venue speaks for itself, only complimented by the incredible staff.

lpful throughout the entire process. Leading up to the actual wedding, the service I received from UT was nothing short of amazing. I didn't run into a single issue during the wedding process. Brooke was so helpful - always answering my questions, no matter how silly they were and making sure she had all things handled! Then on the day of, everything was just done so perfectly. Thomas & Robyn were completely on top of the wedding - making sure that everything ran smoothly and helping the entire Bridal Party to ensure they were in the right place and knew what they were doing! The attention both myself and my husband received from their team during the ceremony & reception was unbelievable. They were extremely attentive and so fun to be around. I truly can't say enough great things about my entire experience at Union Trust. They made sure the day was perfect and in turn, I left knowing that there wasn't a single thing I would have changed about my wedding. HIGHLY suggest booking Union Trust for your wedding - I wish I had a wedding coming up there so I could attend as a guest!!! My guests are still ranting and raving about how fantastic the food was and how the wedding was the best one they've ever been too. On top of all of that, the venue is a DREAM - so stunning

Our wedding was beyond PERFECT! Our guests have not stopped talking about the gorgeous Union Trust Venue, the food, and how kind and helpful the staff were. Nicole made the whole ...
wedding planning process stress free and so much fun. Every interaction we had with her felt like a we had been friends for years, she truly cares about making your vision come to life! Nicole was always on top on things and super professional, yet funny, kind and relatable!
On our wedding day, we had Thomas and Lisa by our side, as well...they, along with the other staff, made the most fantastic team! Thanks to them, my husband and I were able to enjoy every single moment of our perfect day. Lisa and Thomas went above and beyond by helping us stay on schedule, they were always around and very attentive to our needs, and they were truly the reason why everything flowed so smoothly that day!
If you are looking for a sign to use Findley Catering, this is it! You will have an unbelievable experience, and I promise you will not find anyone like them:)

ontact information and answered any random questions I had while always staying in touch. The day of the wedding everyone was so kind and attentive while we spent the entire day there getting ready. They did not get annoyed when people arrived early and were walking around the venue. Lisa was our, bride and groom, server for the evening and hands down best server I have ever had. She would show up with ice cold full drinks for us, constantly checking without being too much. Every guest we spoke with raved about the food and service. Our best man and moh, who are married to each other, stated that they needed to have another wedding because ours outdid theirs. Many people said it was the best wedding and this was all because of the venue, food, and amazing service.

hich gave that WOW factor to the bride/groom entrance. I love that they do this so much that it's an well-oiled machine- they have solutions to just about any problem that WILL occur at a wedding. They coordinated well with our band to ensure that there was no skipped beats! The cocktail hour food was phenomenal, and there was never a long line at the bar! They worked with our performers, so our performers had what they needed so that we could relax and know that it's all taken care of. Big thanks to Thomas, our Maitre'D. And the bridal attendant- Lisa. They were amazing!

We discovered at the last minute that we had forgotten to order a wedding cake (oops) and Thomas quickly found a solution with a demo cake and sheet cake. Our guests have told us that the food, drinks, and service were incredible. This is the most beautiful venue in Philadelphia that can accommodate larger guest lists.

ery guest I have talked to since the wedding continues to rave over how much fun the had, how stunning the venue was, and how AMAZED they were by the food spread. Multiple friends thought the cocktail hour was the dinner and were shocked to find that wasn't the case. The team executed all of the details confidently and professionally - we didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding. Thank you so much for the most amazing day!

the absolute best! We worked with Nicole through our whole planning process and she is simply amazing, so helpful with any questions that we had and she broke down the process in a way that made everything feeling much less overwhelming and so organized. We could not have done it without her! Thomas is the Maitre d' and he is also so great, he made us feel so comfortable and did a great job of lightening up the mood so we could all relax and enjoy the moment. He truly has everything down to a science and did such a great job making sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly on our wedding day. The entire team at Union Trust is so welcoming and accommodating, we appreciate every single one of them so much. We felt so special and like we were the only couple that had ever been married there. 100% recommend this breathtaking venue for your wedding!!
