This place looks like a mistake from the outside but is a diamond in the rough. We were looking…read morefor somewhere in Philly to get married without breaking the bank. The venue isn't huge so you're limited to ~110 people max. Once you get inside, it's quite pretty. Again, the space is not much - there's a foyer area, the inside where the tables are, a small stage area for the head table (bride + groom). The women's restroom is small, just two stalls, but tidy and modern. There's no private changing area so if you're looking to change outfits, you'll have to do it in the restroom. Joel is the general manager here. She's nice but can be incredibly difficult to get a hold of by phone or email. She mostly works nights on Fridays-Sundays so while you can't get a hold of her during normal business hours, surprisingly you may reach her at 9 PM on a Friday night, for example. We opted to use this venue because of the affordable prices but it wasn't the easiest process because the information you need isn't really provided up front. For instance, I didn't know there was a general seating chart (ex that they had a certain table that can only seat 10 chairs vs the others can all seat 12) nor was this mentioned or even provided until a few weeks before the event. If that had just been provided up front, it would have saved us a lot of headaches and time. Nor did we know that the venue provided table numbers or a card box, so I had painted my own table numbers and bought and decorated my own card box. In the end, it didn't really matter - the tables just had two sets of table numbers - but if I'd known upfront about this, it would have saved me time. The wedding cake is provided with the two wedding packages (which are sit-down event vs buffet), which is nice. Cake tasting wasn't offered but I asked for samples and they were provided, which was nice. There's little to no parking around here but thankfully, parking valet services are available - complimentary if you have over 75 people. Unfortunately, apparently only two people staff the parking valet so if you have multiple people arriving at once, there will likely be a line of cars. Would I use this place again? Again, the prices are probably unbeatable in Philadelphia but at the expense of vagueries and difficult communication. Even though the space is small, we were able to fit a photoboth in the foyer; quartet up front for the first hour, and husband-wife duo off to the side of the head table and our guests also seemed to have a good time. So at the end of the wedding day, the venue ultimately came through for us but be aware of potential difficulties going in.

We just celebrated our wedding reception a couple of weeks ago, and let me start of my saying...my…read morefriends are still raving about how good the food was! This hall is a hidden gem in South Philly- you wouldn't think of it as you go down that area, but please consider it if you are planning a party. Our wedding was Lord of the Rings themed, so the pillars and noble atmosphere lent itself to our decorations. The dance floor was spacious enough for our 60 or so guests, and still had room for another couple dozen of guests had we needed it for the tables. We added the valet parking, which is a must in South Philly! Pricing was per person, with additional fees for the valet, cash bar, and any addons. Very reasonably priced, and our cake was included with the total cost, not additional. Back to the food - some of the best meals I have eaten. We opted for plated service, starting with salad, moving to pasta, then pork or chcicken entrees. The penne in vodka sauce was recommended by the owner, and I am SO glad we chose that, because it was such a huge hit we have heard some of our guests were going to other tables looking for anyone who had an extra plate to eat! Our servers were so friendly and kind, especially to my bride and I, since we were all over the place. Our cake was delicious and beautiful, and we were very happy to have added the ice cream bar, since our guests also LOVED that. My family has some food allergies to onions, and we were served something different than our guests, but it was so delicious so no complaints there. It can be tricky getting in contact with them, especially since they are usually busy from Fri-Sun when they are hosting events, but everyone was kind to us and we are beyond happy with placing our trust with them. I have recommended this hall to a few coworkers, and we will most likely return whenever we plan another huge party! Thank you!

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!

Service was bad too, dirty plates and other dinnerware. Half the Guests weren't served desserts either or coffee.

There is ample off-street parking. The food was about what you expect with a reception. There was a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres. There was a cheese plate, fruits, vegetables that were provided first. Then hot appetizers were delivered. It was confusing where to put empty glasses and plates. It was not intuitive. Most people left them on the tables with food, as one table was empty for the forth coming hot appetizers. We then shifted into a lofty room with a church like wooden arched ceiling. It was nice. There was a buffet offered for guests. There was several options of pasta and meat. The food I ate was cooked well. I had prime rib which was flavorful and nice and soft. I had a stuffed shell which was also cooked correctly. The coffee was a little weak for my tastes. There was a bar in the room for drinks if wanted. Wait staff could be slightly more attentive in removing dishes from tables.

Nearly every detail the bride confirmed and signed off on before the wedding was ignored. The bridal suite had dirty champagne glasses and unsafe, wobbly chairs for hair and makeup. Both coordinators were hard to find throughout the day, and when issues arose, they were either dismissed or never followed up on. Guests were served the wrong food (including one with a serious allergy), others didn't receive meals at all, and many didn't even know dessert or coffee was available because there was no announcement. The champagne cart enhancement that was paid for was unstaffed and never used. Even simple things like helping the bride's nephew hand out programs--something I personally spoke to the coordinator about--were completely forgotten. Working in customer service myself, I know how important attention to detail, communication, and accountability are--especially for an event as meaningful as a wedding. What I saw that day was the opposite. The only person who seemed to know what she was doing was Sarah, who genuinely tried to correct issues and assist where others failed. Overall, it was extremely disappointing to watch such an important day unravel due to negligence and poor management.
