Joyce Dugan from the Saturday Club was nice and easy to work with. Since they didn't have a Friday event, they gave us keys on Friday and allowed us to do set up Friday evening and Saturday morning. They did provide the tables and chairs and set them up on Friday for us which was awesome. The employee Chris was there in the office during the wedding if we needed anything. The place is really cute and was the perfect size for our wedding. We had just the perfect amount of room for the number of table and chairs we used and enough room on the dance floor. There is a little area/ private room near the bathrooms that serves as the bridal suite and also a great place to nurse my son and for other nursing moms. The price was great and I love what the money goes towards. I would absolutely recommend this for a wedding of 50-90 guests or for other events. This would also be a great spot for bridal and baby showers. And they worked so well with our caterer. We put the photo booth in the front vestibule area. There is also a coat closet when you first walk in.

I have nothing but EXCELLENT things to say about my experience with Franklin Commons!! I hosted a…read moresurprise 75th birthday party for my father this past July. There were about 50 guests in all. Their staff, from my first meeting with the sales rep, from all the detailed emails back and forth, to the servers and helpers the day of the event, were all professional, friendly, helpful, detail-oriented, and genuinely concerned with our complete satisfaction. The space was well-received by everyone. It looks a bit stark when you first go in (when it's empty), but once you decorate it and fill it with tables and decorations, it is warm and inviting while still feeling fun and relaxed. It's like a blank canvas - you make what you want it to be. The food was scrumptious! We had the ranch chicken with the chilled berry soup appetizer and everyone loved it. Also, we had a vegetarian guest and a vegan guest, and they both told me their meals were delicious. We provided the cake, but they provided the sundae bar, which included mango sorbet. Everyone loved that as well, especially the kids. Two of my guests cancelled the day of, so those meals were wrapped up for me, so my husband and I were able to enjoy a second meal the next day. The staff also cut up the remainder of the cake and put the pieces in reusable containers so my father and other guests were able to take cake home. The lounge area and the restrooms were not only spotless, but also furnished with plush sofas and chairs for those who needed a break from the action. We didn't need a DJ because the Commons provided piped-in Pandora music selection, which was just the right music at the just the right volume. There is plenty of parking and it was easy for all my guests to find. I highly recommend Franklin Commons for any event you are having! They are the best!

I am at the point where everytime i think about our wedding day i regret where it was done and if i could have reversed time and picked somewhere else, or even gone to the courthouse like we originally planned we would have been happier. getting in contact with your planner is so hard, it would take days to respond. we didnt even get to pick our cake flavor or anything like that until two days before (which they got wrong, we asked for chocolate and got vanilla). thats not even the part where im upset, we spent an EXTRA 300$ on a wedding video. after our wedding we received an email stating that we should be getting it in a few days. a week passed by and nothing, i emailed them and waited another week for a response and found out that they LOST OUR WEDDING VIDEO and is looking for it. my husband then emailed but with no response. another week went by and i texted them and was left in read for about 1-2 days before they told me that they figured out the problem on the technical side but no luck on our video, we should be getting a refund in about 10 days. it has been OVER 10 ten days and we have received nothing so i have texted them AGAIN and got left on read, which lead to another text a week later and still left on read and ignored. its sad to see this company more active on instagram than their clients. im grateful for the beautiful day i got with my friends and family, but i wish we picked somewhere else. i am heartbroken. we have no way to look back on our special day except with iphone pictures my friends and family took. we had a friend record the whole wedding and told him we didnt need it because we were getting a professional one done, so he deleted it. we understand they are very busy people, but when you screw up so bad like losing a whole wedding video you should be a little more caring than you are. reading these reviews have showed us that we have been treated worlds differently than other couples, unfortunately not in a good way. thank you elegant celebrations, for making our day definitely something we wont forget.

​The Washington was everything my husband and I had ever dreamed of and so much more. When we got…read moreengaged, we knew we wanted something unique, something us, someplace no one had ever been. We wanted our guests to walk into our venue and say 'WOW this is so Matt and Erin.' Mission accomplished! This was our one and only venue we toured. From the gorgeous courtyard where we were married, to the ruins where we took pictures, to the gorgeous reception space with its stunning original hardwoods and beautiful chandlers, it was everything we had hoped to find. Working with Allie was a dream - she transitioned out right before our wedding but their current venue manager, Brittany was absolutely wonderful and picked up where Allie left off seamlessly. Getting ready that day was so wonderful thanks to the beautiful bridal suite and my hubby-to-be was thrilled to have the grooms suite. We had viewed several online that provided no where for him to get ready - it's his day too! That was a must for us. Our guests loved wandering the property during cocktail hour and could not get over how beautiful The Washington is. We could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more perfect venue. I wish I could do it all over again!

I attended a wedding here for one of my besties. They set up the ceremony outside and then we had…read morethe early reception on the covered patio and the dinner (main reception) inside. I suppose if it was raining they would have moved the ceremony to the outside covered area, but we were lucky with great weather. The only awkward distraction during the ceremony was somebody taking shooting practice out in the distance which echoed in the air. The facility is a beautiful old three-story building. There's a little waterfall running along side it, and some cute Pennsylvania charm. The ground level has a beer wall which includes multiple taps and you sign out a little fob that allows you to keep track of what you ordered. Upstairs in the main level is perfect for small weddings probably no more than 75 people. We had a lot of room in the middle so we could dance. There's a mezzanine above it with more seating areas. I believe they are open regularly for the beer wall, and in fact there were some locals there. But the rest of the place was not like a typical restaurant. It must just be private events. For accessibility, was a golf cart used to take some folks from the grass up to the top floor through the parking lot. because I was at a wedding, the food was through a private caterer. But they had their own beer and a couple wines on the wall downstairs that are there all the time and that was pretty popular. The staff was very nice.

My event occurred in July and I felt I had to wait to post my review for many reasons but at this…read moretime needs to be said. I don't recommend this location for so many reasons. One of the biggest things I will point out, Jessica has zero, zero communication with her team (photographer, DJ, cake decorator and even staff about clients expectations) that was very apparent at our event. Biggest proof - image of cake sent to Jessica as a sample was pink and gold, our color scheme was purple black and gold. Our cake was made PINK and gold!! So much to say but not enough space here. I had siblings and even my children come and tell me staff were rude. One instance was when guest weren't allowed out of the main room. I went to a girl specifically and spoke to her in Spanish and asked her WHY, because when my guest would ask her she wouldn't speak to them in English. I had several guest complain that staff were rude or didn't speak English and made NO effort to help guest with the excuse of not knowing English. I don't have an issue with not knowing English but I have an issue with being rude or not being helpful in this type of industry. If you don't understand what guests are asking hey someone who can help. I didn't not see nor know about Jessica until late in the evening. She knew I was upset her staff throughout the night knew I was upset about things YET at no time did any of them come to find out what was wrong or how things could be remedied. At the end of the night when we were getting our personal items, there were empty boxes left over. Jessica was so rude and told us we needed to take out empty boxes with us!! Essentially we had to take out trash with us. You're going to tell me you don't have dumpsters there!! The decor was nice BUT it wasn't what our expectations were. Again due to lack of communication, out silhouette dance was horrible!! Could not be seen what was happening, because the big frame was out in front of the curtains. If I would have been told that was going to be there we would have done the presentation differently all I was told was the curtains would be there and the "x" to step on. Tables, the way we were explained or made to think, the Quinceñeras table for her and her court would be a special table. Not only was her table exactly like everyone else's it was setup where guests could NOT see her!! My final take is this.... that because I didn't spend $20-30,000 I wasn't given the top notch service we were expecting. IF I would have been told based on my $10,300 bill I was going to get a basic setup I wouldn't have had SUCH high expectations. Instead no we were constantly told everything was going to be awesome. Lastly due to to many issues. Due to me being upset and things not being what we expected my daughter cried at her table. This alone broke my heart to know my daughter had cried on her day!! Thank goodness I was not made aware that this happened until the next day because I don't know how I would have reacted that night. In the end I was sooo Disappointed. I has such HIGH expectations, not only because of what was always presented on social media for this location BUT because I have known the owner and of her work for so long. I NEVER even considered going elsewhere for this event BECAUSE of the high expectations and what we thought was such wonderful work. Sadly I cannot say I will ever give a recommendation. Not unless they plan on spending $25,000-$30,000 and even then can't believe you would get top notch service. To this date NO effort was made to enquire about my disappointment, if anything I was met with rudeness and attitude at the end of the night. So sorry I won't recommend this event venue ever.

I'm writing the review based on my experience and on behalf on the hosts of the event …read more The decor was beautiful but according to the hosts, it was missing some finishing touches that were discussed. The food was mediocre. The chicken was burnt and dry, the salmon was thin and tiny pieces. Steak was also mediocre compared to the tasting. According to the hosts, the food at the tasting was NOT the same food that was served at the event. They said the food at the tasting was way better and if it wasn't up to par then other food or another event space would've been used. Extra money was paid for green beans but it didn't come out until later when everyone had their dinner already. There was supposed to be fog/smoke used but it wasn't used. Extra money was paid for a Champagne Wall but the glasses were filled with juice instead of champagne. They said juice was used to avoid underage drinking. While we appreciate that concern, we should've been told ahead of time that juice would be used. A " champagne " wall was agreed on, NOT a JUICE wall. Also there's only 1 bathroom for the ladies' room so keep that in mind. The best part of this event was the open bar. This place has a lot of potential but needs to work on their communication skills.
