From the moment I spoke with Caitlin, I knew this would be perfect. The pictures are gorgeous online but in person, perfect. Stop by if you can. This venue is absolutely stunning and HUGE, perfect for a wedding or any life event. The bonus is the all the history behind it. I could not have been happier with my choice, honestly. Thank you, Caitlin! BTW - Use Montesano Brothers for catering. The staff and cuisine were fabulous.

​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!

Our guests had a blast roaming the grounds and the rooms inside, as well as dancing the night away on the terrace, which was surprisingly breezy for a warm August night! People were taking selfies all over the house and gardens because every angle is a perfect photo back drop. We had a long engagement, made longer still by Covid, and Elizabeth was just incredibly warm, considerate, accommodating, professional, and just all-around lovely the entire time. When it came to the big day, Elizabeth was there, guiding us through it and making sure the day went off without a hitch! Choosing this venue was seriously the best decision. We are both forever grateful to Elizabeth and her team!

I especially loved that there are so many options for where to hold an event - several rooms in the house itself, the charming porch out front, and the cool barn next to the house. I didn't know that the barn was on the property but I really liked its rustic vibe. (Though I could imagine in the fall the giant trees around it raining down nuts and other seasonal tree bits!) I also like that there's a hotel nearby for out of town guests. I mostly worked with Kate, who was very responsive over email and is obviously an expert in her field. She helped me realize that there's something to be said for the personal touch you get when working with a staff dedicated to one venue, rather than some of the big event companies who can make you feel like just another number. Ultimately I decided to go with the city vibe so picked a different boutique venue in Philadelphia proper, but I'd definitely recommend checking out Duportail, especially if you're mostly having a local gathering.

We stayed at the 5400 Ferne Blvd location in Drexel Hill…read more The GOOD : the lobby is big, the eating area is also very big; they have an outside eating area; the buffet is decent: pancakes, premade French toast; eggs(scrambled), bacon, potatoes, no decaffeinated coffee, no water (have to ask for water), yogurt, etc.. The room is large, with small fridge, large shower stall, plenty of soap options, quiet a/c fan, room darkening shades are nice, tv. Is decent with a good selection of channels, free WiFi, THE BAD: the shower stall is slippery as ice. It's almost impossible to stand in it without slipping and sliding. This situation was extremely disconcerting. It's impossible to wash yourself while holding on to grass bars so as not to fall. I went to the front desk and asked if they had shower stall floor mats to help with the slippery floor. They did not. The bath, hand and face towels could not have been any rougher Almost like sandpaper on our the skin. Very cheap towels. The breakfast was reasonably priced. The big issue for me was the 18% gratuity they charge for the staff to do nothing but pick up our two dishes after we were done. When we received the bill, I saw that at the bottom of the receipt was a selection of tip options, 18%, 20%, and 22% gratuity. Other than try to confuse the customer in tipping again, why would you include a gratuity option if you already added the tip??? The booth we selected was right next to her station. While she was charging my credit card to pay for breakfast, she ignored me while she was speaking to someone on the phone. There were only 2 other tables being used, so the morning was slow for her. We sat at the only booth that was close to her, there was a cup of coffee and some coffee spills on the table that were ignored by her. We chose that booth since the booth was the more comfortable choice for us. When I went to my room the house maid was almost done. She let me in after checking to make sure my key fit that room and let me in. She was done in about 2 minutes. As she was leaving she said "thanks for the tip". I said "what". She repeated herself and said "thank you for the tip". I said ok. I texted my wife and asked her if she left a tip for the house cleaner. My wife said no, that we always tip on the last day of our stay. What I do remember is leaving $5 on the tv stand with a lot of other items. So she either took money from the tv stand, which I found odd or she was thanking me in advance to tipping her later. I found that her thanking me in advance for her to was unusual. Then I remembered the $5 I left and it was now gone. I found it to be unusual that she would thank me in advance for the tip. Either scenario was not correct. I expect that money I put down on a table be left alone and that I should not expect the cleaners to pick up money lying around and assume it's for them. If that's the current procedure then it's my fault. Overall there was some good and some bad. I'd give this One star for the shower, towels, and restaurant tip and house cleaner tip confusion. Five Stars for the quietness, cleanliness and the comfortable bed.
