This is definitely my kind of place with the bling and Crystal enormous chandeliers, beautiful fountains and Grecian statues that are larger than life! The ceremony space had a huge skylight and a large window where the couple stood enabling you to see the stone bridge, rock fountains, etc. so much beauty!! After the ceremony we were directed to "The Chantilly" room and the display and selection of appetizers knocked my socks off! There was a salad station- cold area with cheese, crackers, fresh fruit, roasted beets, salmon, caprese salad and much much more! There was an Italian station w pasta, meatballs, sausage, pizza, then carved pork and skirt steak area, lots of seafood and even a mashed potato bar and a macaroni and cheese bar. Stupendous! Every time I got up I found something new to try. The wedding space was elegant and large for all to enjoy. We ordered the filet and that was served with tasty asparagus, potatoes, a peeled carrot and a light gravy sauce. I was very happy with all the desserts I tried too. The staff was ultra pleasant and attentive. This was a first class affair. I loved my time at Lucien's Manor and if you have the chance to attend or host an event there I know you will too. Five excellent stars!!

Working with Courtney was one of the BEST decisions we made during the stressful wedding planning…read moreprocess. Courtney was our month and day-of-coordinator, along with her partner, Brooke. They were both so warm, communicative, and were an absolute pleasure to work with! I knew my husband and I were in such good hands. Leading up to and on the day of the wedding, she was very timely, organized, detailed, and stayed on top of things including having full control of all the coordination between the bridal party, vendors, and venue. She was absolutely amazing at executing our planned timeline, answering all my questions, and making sure all the vendors were on the same page. It made for such a stress-free day for my husband and family where we were able to fully enjoy and soak in every minute of our day. My husband, parents, and bridal party even commented about how on point they were throughout our wedding. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE COURTNEY TO PLAN ANY EVENT. Hiring her was worth every single penny and then some -- If it were in my budget, I definitely would've sprung for the full planning package. Courtney & Brooke - Thank you SOO SOO much for everything, I couldn't imagine our day going as perfectly without you !

Hiring Courtney was the best wedding decision I made. I am a type-A DIY get it all done type of…read morebride. At first I didn't understand why anyone would just "throw away" a lump sum of money to a person who would just show up the day of and execute what was already a beautifully organized plan. And then it dawned on me: there is no way to get everything you need to happen when and where it's supposed to happen without someone running the show, and that person CANNOT be the woman in the big beautiful dress. I interviewed about 10 different coordinators (did I mention I'm a perfectionist?) leading to yet another excel sheet of pros/cons for each potential hire. When I narrowed my list to the top 3 Courtney really stood out. While everyone was easy to talk to on the phone, she seemed the least like someone who was trying to up-sell me on "my big day". She also didn't put hour limits on the package, which showed that she really was just going to be there to help in any way possible, not to nitpick over one line charges in a contract. During the first meeting we set up with her I still had my reservations, but by the end of the conversation I was happily writing a check. At the walk-through she agreed to also come to the church and was on top of every picky detail I requested. At the rehearsal she helped navigate a tense situation when I was 20 minutes late. She also exerted herself when necessary among a pushy priest and uptight church coordinator. My maid of honor said that Courtney won her over when she overheard her say to me at the rehearsal: "Is this the way you really want it, because if you have doubts tell me and we'll get it done." On the morning of the wedding Courtney was waiting for us with multiple things already underway. She gave me quick calm updates and brought me in whenever there was a decision to be made. If I told her it didn't matter she would quickly take care of the problem on her own and I wouldn't hear another word about it. If I had a strong feeling on the matter, she made sure it happened my way. When I told her I was concerned that some family member's criticism would shake me up before the ceremony, she politely steered them away from me whenever there was an issue. When the church coordinator got snippy with her she was overheard saying: "I was hired by the bride and groom to make their dream wedding come true, and doing things your way was not part of that plan". Meanwhile, she was completely professional, kind, and welcoming to everyone. The wedding party loved her! She was also dressed stylishly (and in heals!) for the wedding, which makes a difference to me. Your guests are going to see someone following around the bride all day, you don't want them to be wearing slacks and an over-sized button down. Courtney handled a million big and small details for me the day of, but one that stands out is something I hadn't fully thought through. At one of our meetings I mentioned I was going to have some decorations ready to set up in the honeymoon suite for us to come back to. While this was a great idea, it just kept getting moved lower and lower on my list, and I never got around to setting anything aside. Since we were up until the wee hours of the morning I didn't think it would matter, but when I went to my room to change I was blown away. She had taken small extra flower arrangements and candles from the reception and arranged them beautifully all over the suite. There were flower petals leading to the bed, and my veil beautifully draped over the arm seat. Food and candles were waiting for us on the table and all the extra boxes had been tucked away. It was beautiful and an amazing end to a perfectly-executed day, all thanks to Courtney. I could write endlessly about every little detail she did, but instead I will say this: Hire Courtney, it will be the best decision you make.

If someone were to "pop the question" around whether I'd hire Susan and her team again, my answer…read morewould be a very enthusiastic, "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" Susan and her team are SO organized, SO professional, and SO lovely to work with. For starters, we delayed our wedding by two years because of COVID...so naturally, there were certain details I just totally forgot about. Fortunately, Susan didn't. She'd remind me of whatever comments I'd made two years prior, follow up on things I didn't even realize we'd talked about, and keep my family and me on track when we needed it most. She came to as many of our appointments with other vendors as possible, asking smart questions and helping us make strategic decisions along the way. On the day of the wedding (which we had at the Fillmore in Fishtown), every single member of her team was ON, helping us squash little issues and stay as much on schedule as possible. Her team was quick, attentive, and lovely all-around. They're exactly what you want in a wedding planning team--they're kind, yet firm. They're cattle herders, but with a friendly touch. And most of all, they know what they're doing and make you feel like you can relax and let them take care of you and your loved ones on your special day.

She and Kate were so lovely, patient, reliable, and cool under pressure...there is no way the wedding would have went as planned without them! From the moment we brought her team on board, Susan brought a sense of calm and professionalism that immediately reassured us that we were in great hands. Leading up to our wedding, the level of communication and organization she brought was incredible. And she brought us so many creative ideas and recommendations that we would never have thought of! She's a true veteran, and also highly connected within the Philadelphia wedding scene -- she has worked with everyone! I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have her on our team. She was the coach, quarterback, defensive line...all in one. All we had to do was show up and enjoy. THANK YOU!!!!

There are plenty of areas to set up for different reception types.

Outside is no less stunning and since it is next to a nature path it would allow for a lot of different back drops and locations for gorgeous photos.
