Hands down, the best night of our lives! The Richmond Hall went above and beyond to make sure our…read moreexperience was unforgettable and they delivered. My husband and I first walked into the Richmond Hall and instantly fell on love. The high vaulted ceilings, extravagant chandeliers, and the long flowing drapes in the background blew us away. Can't forget to mention the newly renovated cocktail room downstairs which gave a more modern, rustic feel and a change of atmosphere for our guests. Lauren was very helpful throughout the planning process and was very timely and helpful with any of our questions and needs. Our maître d, Beverly, was outstanding the day of the wedding. She was on top of everything and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. We cannot thank her enough for the efforts of her and her staff, as they made the 2 years of planning feel effortless. Our guests raved about their total experience. The valet parking, delicious food, timely drinks and our late night cheesesteaks were extraordinary. The Richmond Hall and Catering by Mario's are truly the best and I would highly recommend them to anybody in need of a wedding venue!

When wedding cake was passed out, they completely missed tables and then acted like everything was just fine when we complained that they skipped us. Sorry not sorry was the attitude. Also, when speaking to the bride, staff kept interrupting rather than allowing guests to interact. Just be aware should you have them cater your event / wedding that the staff might be an issue.

They completely nailed my vision and brought every detail to life even better than I could have imagined. Throughout the entire process, they were so accommodating, laid-back, creative, and genuinely helpful. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Jackie made everything feel easy and enjoyable. I loved collaborating with her and the team over the months leading up to our wedding. They were always open to ideas, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made me feel confident that everything was in great hands. On the wedding day, everything looked stunning and came together perfectly. I am so grateful for their talent, professionalism, and kindness. I cannot recommend DIY Philly enough to any couple looking for a team that is creative, organized, and truly wonderful to work with.

She was sweet, easy going and truly excited about the ideas (mostly pinterest pictures) I was bringing to her. I knew right then and there that I wanted to work with her and could really trust her with my wedding at Front and Palmer. Throughout the entire process she was easy to communicate with and kept me updated with any knew ideas she had to fit my vision. The day of our wedding I was blown away. The bouquets for me and my ten bridesmaids were some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. I wanted a very neutral, natural theme with a touch of succulents and Caroline delivered! When my husband and I arrived at the venue we were thrilled with the ceremony space and the reception decorations. Everything was understated and beautiful and exactly how we envisioned it! Caroline was also at the venue the day of the wedding to help reuse the bouquets and ceremony decorations for the reception which really helped me stay in budget!

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

Not sure what has taken me so long to write this review.....maybe I am still in awe of the amazing…read morearrangements Sullivan and her team put together for our wedding months ago. We were married on Labor Day weekend (a pretty busy weekend for the S.O. team considering they had 4 - maybe more - events that weekend). Even though they had so many other events going on, Sullivan and the team made us feel important and were always willing to give us a quick consult if we had questions. From the day my wife met Sullivan, I knew she was in love with her work. Unique and special, every arrangement is thoughtfully done. I remember looking around our venue and scratching my head to figure out where all of these crazy/awesome flowers came from. She and the team are super knowledgeable and are willing to think "outside of the box", which was really important to us since we are not the typical roses or carnation people. That's not to say that she cannot do a "typical arrangement" as I'm sure she can - we just appreciated that her work was NOT cookie cutter at all. S.O. met with my wife on many occasions to soothe her worries about the big day - something I give her extreme props for since my better half is overly detailed (one of the reasons I married her)! She coordinated pick up and delivery of some of our larger decor items since we had a house-full of things we wanted to use and no good way to get them to the venue. She even helped me to put together a surprise arrangement to be delivered to my wife just a few days before the wedding and featured some of the amazingly funky and colorful flowers that were to be used on the wedding day. On the day of, it wasn't just flowers. Her team helped to set up decor throughout the venue, perfectly capturing our (my wife's) vision for our special day. Throughout the process, she was honest and willing to work with us in figuring out how to maximize our money, making suggestions as to where we could trim back or add to stay within our floral budget. Since the wedding, my wife has participated in two of her flower school classes and has come home with some pretty awesome arrangements. I would recommend S.O. and her team any day of the week for some of the most amazing arrangements in the area. It's no wonder why she won Best of Philly 2011. I'll be in touch for a V-Day arrangement for the wife, without a doubt!

Pricing was reasonable and I felt the value definitely matched what I paid and probably exceeded it. Arrangement: The wife loved it. She remarked how Sullivan Owen pays attention to every little detail. From the design itself (creative, not your typical FTD), to the message card typed on a vintage typewriter, to the handmade label on flower food and even the box that held the arrangement,it is very clear that great thought went into every aspect to the presentation of the arrangement and overall design. I look forward to ordering again from Sullivan Owen and surprising my wife with another innovative and visionary arrangement. I would definitely recommend Sullivan Owen Floral & Event Design to people who are looking for something that is above and beyond the average. Impressive stuff. NB: I grade conservatively, so a four-star rating from me is very, very good!

We were incredibly disappointed with our overall experience. Unfortunately, the level of service…read moreand professionalism we encountered fell far short of what we expected. We began with such excitement among us and brought a bridesmaid, grandmother and it was such a bummer of an experience. We paid for the extended time with Champagne (which was never opened).... Here is why it was horrible customer service.... From our very first appointment, there was significant pressure placed on my daughter to purchase a dress immediately. While the consultant did listen to her preferences and selected several beautiful gowns for her to try on, the sales environment felt overwhelmingly focused on securing a purchase rather than allowing her the time and space to make a thoughtful decision. Now we understand why.... While we were purchasing the dress and after, my daughter expressed uncertainty. Within an hour of leaving this place, I called to explain that she was still on the fence. At that point, the dress had not yet been ordered or fully processed, but our request was met with an immediate and inflexible refusal, by the owner. While I understand and respect that stores must have policies, the response lacked empathy and any willingness to work with us. The salon's policy of offering only store credit and no returns left us feeling trapped in our decision rather than supported through an emotional and significant purchase. We were ultimately left with store credit and a great deal of disappointment. They threw in a very small credit towards alterations - once again locking us in... Unfortunately, that was only the beginning... Another frustrating aspect of our experience was the alteration appointments. For every visit, we were required to wait outside until the exact appointment time, regardless of the weather. We stood in pouring rain for one appointment and 90-degree heat for another, despite staff being inside, watching us, and a waiting area sitting empty. On one occasion, Lana, who handles alterations, saw us standing in the rain and kindly invited us inside. Her thoughtfulness and courtesy stood in stark contrast to the rest of our experience. Unfortunately, the appointments were rarely on time. During one visit, we waited 13 minutes outside and then another 25 minutes inside before being seen. The atmosphere among the staff was also disappointing. There was a noticeable amount of gossiping and whispering within earshot of customers, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. It often seemed as though conversations with clients were being forced out of obligation rather than stemming from a genuine desire to provide exceptional customer service and create a positive experience. Choosing a wedding dress should be a joyful, memorable, and special experience. Sadly, our experience was marked by pressure, inflexibility, and a lack of customer care. We remained polite, friendly, and accommodating throughout the process, which made the experience all the more hurtful and disappointing. The one bright spot was Lana. Her alterations work is exceptional, and she consistently demonstrated kindness, patience, professionalism, and expertise. She provided the level of care and attention we had hoped to receive throughout our entire experience. Thank you, Lana, for your outstanding work and compassion. Congratulations to the store for hiring ONE exceptional person. My advice to brides - go some place else. I love supporting small business but will NEVER recommend this one to anyone who will ask me my opinion.

She listened carefully to what I liked and didn't like, and every piece she pulled felt thoughtful and in line with what I was looking for. Yoko is incredibly talented, honest, and easy to talk to. She also made sure everything stayed within my price range, which I really appreciated. I could not be happier with the end result and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding dress. My goal was to only go to one store to find my perfect dress and Yoko made that happen for me!
