I can not rave enough about Renee and her team who assisted us for two of my daughter's weddings…read more We could not have pulled off both events without her. Renee was on top of everything throughout the planning process, making arrangements, coordinating vendors and offering wonderful advice. The day of the weddings Renee and Allison hit the ground running. She was onsite while the girls were getting hair and makeup, coordinated and pick up food for the girls and the guys at a different location. She is the absolute BEST! We planned and had two weddings within 6 months, during the pandemic. Renee talked us all off of the ledge a few times and was my voice of reason often. I can not say thank you enough to Renee for all that she did for us to coordinate our weddings. I highly recommend hiring Renee. "Events by Renee" was worth their weight in gold.

We booked Events by Renee for our daughter's recent wedding (May 2022) for the full planning…read moreservices plus extra for help planning two additional parties. Overall Impression: This was not a good value for the money spent. Our daughter's wedding was not given any significant priority, even the month of the wedding. Note that Ms. Rhinehart, the owner of the business, works part-time in this business and full-time developing partyhosthelper.com. We were not privy to this when booking. Pros: * Day of Support good; the Planner worked long hours, even helped with clean up * Taping job for bride's wardrobe malfunction excellent, stayed in place * Help with bridesmaid's dress also very good * Flexible with some last minute/late changes (changing three lights to two on the tables, changing plans to attend the AA tasting) * Helpful in acting as the bride and groom's witness when they applied for their marriage license * Picked up favors and stored centerpieces for the bride Cons: * Planning missed a lot of important details throughout planning (wedding date, etc.); does not take notes at meetings * Did not feel like personal service as requested in the initial interview, not enough time with bride. The bride missed dates to do things because the Planner was not in regular touch with the bride. The MOB had to step in to actively plan the wedding. * Very difficult to contact except email, even to schedule a meeting which had to be during business hours * Vendor search limited to one vendor, even after MOB mentioned the one vendor did not work * Planner not flexible to redo the vendor search after COVID rescheduling (extra fee for this), resulting in MOB, bride doing their own vendor searches for some vendors * Not budget-oriented as requested in initial interview in terms of purchasing additional services, resulting in going over budget continuously with nearly every vendor hired * Forgot that we were out of town in planning the wedding * Did not receive payment notifications when things were due or adequate budget spreadsheets * Nearly all communications (mostly emails) left something to be desired, resulting in lots of wasted time for the MOB, FOB, and others * Lack of timely response to many inquiries * Knowledge of venue not adequate (overstated in initial interview) * The Planner did not know the correct order for a Jewish wedding (where they stand at the altar) and directed incorrectly. This resulted in bride's family not seeing her face on the video. * Suggested lots of add-on fees for things that should have been included even though we paid for the premium service plus extra for planning additional parties. * Two special requests from MOB (a search of more than one vendor for chairs and welcome bag assembly) were handled mostly by assistants, resulting in uneven results. * No support given for times the planner was not available (her honeymoon and maternity leave)

I planned my daughter's entire wedding; however, I knew I needed a second set of eyes to assist on…read morethe day of the wedding. Jean fit that bill. When we first spoke, I immediately had a great vibe and knew I wanted to work with her. She has this calm and professional demeanor that is important when planning a wedding. Not only did Jean assist with the wedding she assisted with our rehearsal which both events were at two different locations in the city. She came in with questions and suggestions that I would not of have thought of and made things run seamlessly the night before. The day of the wedding, Jean handled everything and made my day (as the mother of bride) less stressful. She managed the details and coordinated with the staff in making things run smoothly. Having Jean with us on my daughter's big day was amazing. I can't thank her enough on a great experience and I would recommend her services to anyone looking to plan a successful event! Jean, Pine Hill Events, thanks for playing a special part in our daughter's wedding and for creating beautiful memories with family and friends in celebrating the newlyweds.

We had an amazing experience with Peachtree for our wedding at the Willows. Though we were nervous…read moreat first about there being one exclusive caterer and an assigned day-of coordinator, everything turned out wonderfully. From the planning documents to the tasting, the experience leading up to the wedding was intentional and made us feel so special. It is obvious how much attention and care the Peachtree team puts into their service of each individual guest. We can't say enough good things about the staff. We got so lucky to have the team we did, who told us repeatedly that we had amazing guests and the vibes were high. Namely, George, Karen, and Steph made our big day possible. George sought out our vegan guests and made sure they got enough of their appetizers and desserts. Neither of us were without a drink or anything else we needed because of Karen's care and attention. Steph executed all of our dreams wonderfully and accepted our feedback with grace when things needed tweaking. At the end of the night, our hotel shuttle forgot about us, so my wife and I also were able to chat more with the staff, and they genuinely all seemed so happy to be with us. This was absolutely a highlight of our day! Food was my wife's number one most important line item when it came to our wedding, especially having been served less than ideal meals as vendors and seeing the same things over and over. Multiple reviews of Peachtree told us what we needed to know, and we were confident about the menu options. During the tasting, we were a little thrown off because there weren't many items that we loved, but our coordinator reminded us that they're choosing things to present that you wouldn't have necessarily chosen on your own. Our wedding day food was truly unreal, hands down the best wedding food I've had. All our guests were RAVING about it too!

Wedding at Pomme - April 12, 2025 While our wedding day…read moreturned out beautiful in many ways, the journey getting there was unnecessarily stressful and left us with more regrets than we ever anticipated. For future couples considering Pomme: proceed with caution and a clear understanding of what you're walking into. Let's start with the good: * The venue itself is gorgeous. We had to move our ceremony indoors at the last-minute due to weather, which I was heartbroken about, but I'll admit that the space still looked stunning. It's flexible and modern, giving couples a great canvas to make their own, which was a huge reason we chose Pomme. * The food and drinks were outstanding. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour, especially the cheesesteak station. And the Pineapple Margarita (our signature drink) was a crowd favorite. * Service during the event was, for the most part, excellent. Guests told us it was some of the best they've experienced, especially how dinner was served in unison. * Special shoutout to the lovely woman who took care of my husband and me in the bridal suite and during dinner. I regret not remembering her name, because she was truly a highlight. She made sure we were fed, hydrated, and relaxed in the middle of the madness. Now...the bad: Our experience leading up to the day -- and even parts of the day itself -- left us hurt, frustrated, and frankly, angry. * I showed up to the rehearsal with my parents, grandparents, and wedding party excited to walk through what was supposed to be the first look at our ceremony setup. Instead, we walked into a construction site. Tarps, ladders, open buckets of white paint, and men actively painting -- at the literal spot where I was to say my vows in less than 24 hours. No warning. No apology. Just a smile and a comment from our coordinator Steph about how "lucky" we were to be the first wedding of the season with a "fresh coat of paint." That was not reassurance -- that was a spin. And it was insulting. * Steph, our coordinator, was not the right fit. Our personalities didn't mesh from the beginning, but more importantly, I never felt prioritized or truly cared for. I didn't feel like a bride. I felt like a line item. Looking back, I wish I'd asked for someone else early on. * Be prepared to spend thousands more than your initial quote. Nearly everything costs extra, and I don't mean small add-ons. - $200 for a case of Miller Lite (yes, really). $55 for a bottle of Prosecco. And no, you can't bring your own drinks in the bridal suite. - $1,400 for string lights (they put them up and take them down between every wedding just to ensure they can keep charging for them). - $200/hour extra for time in the bridal suite, because the included five hours are never enough when doing a first look. - Signature drinks, bridal suite food, even basic setup -- all à la carte and wildly overpriced. No one even bothered to tell me in the beginning that a big majority of gluten-free options (I have celiac disease) would cost extra. A huge reason why we chose Pomme in the first place. * We were told the staff wouldn't help us set up the day-of, so we planned accordingly. But they did it anyway, which was a pleasant surprise! It looked beautiful, and we were grateful. But then... Steph left. At 9:30pm. The only person who knew all our plans and logistics was suddenly gone without prior warning. By 11pm, it felt like pure chaos. Décor was being boxed up randomly, no one knew what belonged where or what was being donated, and I was being pulled in a million directions. Instead of heading to our after-party, I was left running damage control. I didn't even make it to the after-party because I was so drained. That last hour felt like the rug was pulled out from under us. In summary: Yes, the space is beautiful. Yes, the food is memorable. But beauty and bites only go so far when the process is riddled with stress, miscommunication, hidden fees, and a lack of care. We spent a lot of money -- and what should have been the most joyful day of our lives still carries a sting. I wish I had known all of this beforehand. After talking to other recent brides, it seems like I was the only one dealing with these unnecessary issues. If you're considering Pomme, ask every question, get everything in writing, and advocate hard for yourself. Because I didn't -- and I regret it.

Leah, George, Keisha, Ashley, Jack and Abby and the entire team at Pomme made me forget the fact…read morethat I had to take care of two little kids in my sister in laws wedding (in a responsible friendly way). The ENTIRE POMME TEAM helped my sister-in-law have the wedding of her absolute dreams, and every detail was handled with such care and grace. From start to finish, the experience felt seamless and magical. What stood out the most was the warmth of the staff--every single person had a smile, was incredibly kind, and made us all feel like family. That level of hospitality is rare, and it truly elevated the entire celebration. The atmosphere they created was not only elegant and beautiful but also filled with joy and love. George and his team went above and beyond in every way possible. They weren't just hosting an event; they were creating an unforgettable experience. Because of them, my sister-in-law's wedding wasn't just special--it was extraordinary. If you're looking for a venue and a team that will treat your event with the highest level of professionalism, care, and genuine kindness, Pomme is the place. I will forever be grateful for the memories they helped us create!

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!!!!

we loved our wedding and it was very beautiful but there are a LOT of things that we are not happy…read moreabout. 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.
