We took a pottery class at Black Sheep Pottery with Nicole. My girlfriend and I had some pottery…read moreexperience, but we had never learned like this before. Nicole teaches in a way that makes you feel grounded, focused, and connected to the craft. Her instruction is clear, kind, and inspiring. We left feeling like we truly understood the heart of pottery, not just the technique. The entire experience felt spiritual and mind-opening. This isn't just a class. It's a chance to rediscover your creativity and fall in love with pottery all over again. If you want a teacher who gives you confidence and a class that stays with you long after you leave, book with Nicole.

Nicole took the time to explain things like breathing, body positioning and timing, making the experience almost meditative. She took the time with each of us, individually, during certain parts, and together in other sections making it a truly interactive experience, but also a boding experience for my mom and I. I highly recommend Nicole and Black Sheep Pottery!

I twice toured Duportail House when I was looking to plan an event. It's a charming, historic venue…read morenestled in a quiet neighborhood, and everyone I encountered there was friendly and helpful. 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.

TAlulas table was the caterer so the food was wonderful. Start with some passed appetizers and a taco bar. Yummy! Salmon and beef with fingerling potatoes. So delicious!

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!
