Let me just start out by saying, Gina is AMAZING!!!!!! I cannot even imagine what my wedding day…read morewould have been like if I didn't have her on hand. I hired Gina as a Day-Of wedding coordinator, so we really didn't work together too much until the day of. In that package, I got two meetings with her prior to my wedding. The meetings are utilized however you like, and whenever you like. I used my first meeting to get an opinion on a lot of things I was undecided about, such as how to address our parents on our invitations since my parents are divorced and my dad is remarried, etc, it was very complicated. Gina was very helpful. She also gave me outstanding references for where to get invitations and also for my hair and makeup. The week of the wedding, she contacted all of my vendors and pulled together a timeline. Since I was extremely stressed out that week, I got very sick and could not get out of bed. Gina took over and coordinated all the last minute details for me- the trolley, the photographer, videographer, the DJ, etc. The DJ was something we were really worried about because he kept giving us a hard time about loading at our reception site. (Our reception was at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia). Gina handled him perfectly. The day of the wedding, a lot of things happened- I needed someone to pin on a piece of my crystal beaded sash onto my bouquet- that was Gina's first task and she handled it with such ease, then my veil was too heavy for my hair, so it kept pulling my hair down and she kept re-pinning it for me, one of the buttons was sewn too loosely at the train of my dress so it became very difficult to bustle me, but she was able to pin it and then re-pin it later on in the night after my husband stepped on my dress, there was another wedding with a very similar sounding last name as ours who had a trolley at the same hotel as us, and there was a mixup with where our booze went, Gina was able to take care of that and contact the groomsmen to figure out what happened, got off the trolley and brought us a new case of beer. She was so wonderful and helpful, I couldn't of imagined a better wedding planner. My only wish was that I hired her as a full-time planner instead of a day-of coordinator because I moved to Paris two weeks after my honeymoon, so I was super stressed throughout the entire engagement. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Gina Sole, she is the best planner out there.

I thought the concept of being a guest at your own wedding was a myth. Yet, this was the best…read morewedding I've ever been to, and it was my own wedding. Gina knocked this out of the park. Exceeded all my expectations. I hired Gina for day-of coordination and 10 hours of wedding planning. It was perfect for me because I'm an intense planner, but I knew there were some aspects of the wedding I didn't care to do the heavy researching on myself. It was a huge time saver, and removed stress being able to reach out to Gina and say, "do you know a florist in my price range" or "where can we get our make up done in Philly that we can trust." I was planning the wedding from New York, so I don't know how I would have ever found a florist without Gina. My florist was incredible and did such a great job, and I'm so grateful that I had her to help me with things like that. She also recommended us our audio company who also were A+. Every recommendation she made was spot-on and perfect. The week of the wedding she called all my vendors and confirmed the timeline, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. Gina is really warm, friendly, really has it together, and she is a BOSS. My wedding had a lot of moving parts and a very unique timeline. Gina kept everything flowing smoothly through the day, and our ceremony started on time! One of my bridesmaids told me right before the ceremony started that she has never been to a wedding that has started on time. She works very well with other vendors, and is great with communication and making sure you have everything you need. On the wedding day, she showed up at my hotel room with smiles and greeted me and all my bridesmaids. She also has a pretty serious steamer that she brought with her to steam my intensely long veil and she steamed one of my bridesmaid dresses for one of my ladies who had a last minute dress emergency. Also, later in the day my groom realized he forgot to move his reception change of clothes to the reception venue, and Gina went back to the hotel to his room and rushed the outfit to the reception. Saved the day! The ceremony was beautiful and flowed perfectly. Everyone knew what to do and was in the right place because of Gina's direction. She even loaded the whole wedding party into the limo at the hotel, and helped all the groomsmen attach their boutonnieres. We had a grand exit with flowerfetti and parking vouchers for the reception that needed to be handed out that took place around the same time, and Gina did a great job organizing so that both happened in a timely manner without confusion. She also made sure she had a coordinator working with my guest buses so guests wouldn't be on their own as they boarded the buses to the ceremony. It really made me feel relieved that someone was managing that so I felt confident everyone would get to the ceremony on time and safely. During the reception, everything flowed great. My dad had parking problems so he was late to the reception, and she even offered to park his car for him even though I knew he would decline since he always follows the rental rules about who can drive the car lol. I really appreciated that she would have jumped in if my dad was willing to let someone else drive the car. She stood outside the venue until he arrived and helped him inside. She helped me and all the wedding party line up for our entrances, and she personally walked me to the bridal suite since I had no idea where it was and she didn't want me to get lost. Overall, my groom and I, and even my wedding party had a stress-free, joyful day. Everyone had the best time, and several guests told us after the wedding its the best wedding they have ever been to. It was so much fun that everyone is still talking about the wedding, sharing photos, and talking about going BACK to Philly soon. Some guests are even joking about moving from New York to Philly. Our wedding party is already talking about a wedding party reunion. Thank you Gina! I had a phenomenal time! I can't believe that was my wedding. Beyond what I ever dreamed for my wedding.

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!!!!

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.

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.

We had such an amazing experience working with Sara and her team! My wife and I had been planning…read moreour wedding together from the beginning and we had a ton of amazing ideas that we wanted to make happen. Some of them we knew we could pull off and others we had no idea how we were gong to make them happen. Then, to make things more complicated and difficult, we had a series of difficult/unfortunate/sad events that occurred back to back that "took the wind out of our sails" and if it wasn't for Sara our big day would have never turned out the way we dreamed it. Sure it would have still be amazing because in the last few weeks before your wedding you turn into a super hero that deflects all negativity lol but in our case that super hero was Sara. Her and the rest of her amazing team swooped in to save the day and not only executed all the ideas we had but Sara had several amazing ideas and changes that we had never thought of, such as the lace table runners, our amazing DIY photo booth and during a last minute rain storm came to my wife's rescue by offering up her own rain boots! : ) Sara is super kind and truly a professional.

It's conveniently located in Old Town Philadelphia right by Independence National Park. Signer's Park is directly across the street, and the Liberty Bell is next door. It's where you want to be! I came to Philadelphia for a milestone birthday celebration, and the Kimpton's staff made it an incredible experience. Not only was my room decorated, but they were incredibly generous and made my holiday memorable. Roshid was our Concierge and he was incredibly helpful and personable, he made sure every part of our experience was special. I can't say enough about the staff at this Kimpton. Everyone was friendly and helpful! The Red Owl Tavern is the on-site restaurant and it is a good place for breakfast, especially if you are a IHG Rewards member that receives complementary breakfast benefits. Their lunch and dinner options are also nice. There's a positive energy in the place when people are talking and enjoying a meal. The building itself is a historic structure, and has very interesting architecture. However, the interior has been updated with styling that is fresh and hip, just what you would expect from a Kimpton property! The local wildlife also enjoys the building, we were excited to see a hawk uses the building as a perch as it surveys the area. Look out pigeons!

The good: The best attribute is the location if you are visiting the city to spend time at the…read moretourist sites related to early American history. The bed and pillows were reasonably comfortable. The storage for clothes was adequate. The noise level was generally good and the sound insulation from the street was adequate. The Red Owl food was mostly good and the staff are nearly all very friendly and helpful. The exercise room was adequate for a decent workout, though it is mostly dumbbells and a few treadmills, a couple of exercise bikes, and a couple of elliptical machines. Two yoga mats. The not good: The music that is played in the lobby and entrance is way too loud. The coffee served in the lobby each morning was terrible. Should have a coffee maker in the room. The bathroom lighting was insufficient. The oatmeal served on the breakfast menu desperately needs to be changed so that the apple crumble is gone and substituted with fresh fruit - the apple tastes of chemicals. The valet service is staffed by bored and uninterested young adults.
