We had our wedding reception at the Drexelbrook and there are so many wonderful things we can say about it! Let's start with the venue itself: gorgeous! The pictures we found online didn't do it justice. It's a beautiful, clean, and tastefully ornate facility. And it's huge! During COVID, they were able to accommodate all of our guests (~200) comfortably and still follow state guidelines. The complimentary uplighting and table settings created a lovely ambience, and the layout was perfect. We had a live band who had plenty of space to work and the dance floor had ample space. Next, the food: delicious! Honestly, wedding food has no business being this good. The flavors were amazing, from the hors d'oeuvres and stations to the main courses (they even were able to accommodate a custom sea bass dish we requested!) to the desserts. We're still dreaming about the stuffed chicken and strip steak. There are so many options and they were very accommodating with food allergies, preferences, and intolerances. It's hard to go wrong with all the choices. Also, the staff went out of their way to ensure that we were adequately fed and had time to ourselves! We can't begin to tell you how clutch that was. Then, the staff: helpful and accommodating! We had exactly 3 WEEKS to replan our reception as COVID forced the original reception out of Philadelphia, and everyone at the Drexelbrook did their best to make sure our "special day" was truly special. Christina, Anthony, Jeannie, and Bill hit the ground running and facilitated all of our last-minute needs. They responded quickly to our questions and didn't balk at any reasonable requests. They had so many recommendations we didn't even think of! They also worked so well with our vendors, making this as stress-free as possible! Lastly, the quick turnaround: wow! While Pennsylvania was easing many event restrictions in March of 2021, Philadelphia did not follow suit. Our original reception venue very graciously allowed us out of the commitment to their venue, so we had a few days to find something else. After being very impressed with a tour of the facility, we landed on the Drexelbrook and they got to work immediately. Months of planning was able to be condensed in a few weeks. Our guests universally loved the venue and were shocked that all of it could be done in such a short period of time! 10/10 would recommend it for any event! read more

You can't go wrong with Drexelbrook as the venue for your wedding! When we had to push our daughter's wedding back a full year to July 2021 due to the pandemic, Kim Savino and her team were so accommodating and flexible. She went above and beyond to help us through a process that was totally foreign to us as this was our first child's wedding. Kim is the consummate professional and she knows everyone in the wedding business. She was always available whenever we had a question or concern, and we had a lot of those as we tried to navigate this important event through the pandemic's various shutdowns and restrictions. Once the Big Day arrived, it was so seamless. She greeted us at the door and walked us through what to expect that evening. The ballroom was gorgeously decorated, the pin spots were perfectly placed, and the amber lighting was so beautiful. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail hour in the spacious lobby, and the staff throughout the night was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and everyone's meal came out hot, not an easy task when serving 230+ guests. Above all, Kim and the whole team at Drexelbrook gave our event great attention to detail. You didn't feel like it was just another wedding reception they were putting on. You felt like it was the only wedding they would ever do. You'll be treated like royalty. For example, my wife realized at the end of the cocktail hour that she had been so busy greeting our guests that she hadn't even tried any of the terrific hors d'oeuvres. That's all Kim needed to hear and miraculously a full plate appeared by my wife's side. Take it from two first-time Parents of the Bride: do yourself a favor and experience Drexelbrook. read more

My wife and I got married at the end of September and had our reception at the Drexelbrook. We only went to see 2 venues because we knew shortly after our first visit that the Drexelbrook was going to be our choice. The venue is beautiful, spacious (which was a huge deciding factor for us - nobody likes a crowded cocktail hour), and the parking and hotel couldn't be more convenient for people travelling. Jean Fernandez & Sydney Kuhn were our main points of contact; they made the entire process, from beginning to end, easy and stress free. They were available and responsive at all times of day and scheduled appointments as the big day got closer to make sure everything was in order and accurate. Wedding day was perfect. The food and drinks were awesome, and the staff was even better. My wife and I didn't make it to cocktail hour because of pictures, but they had someone bringing us hors d'oeuvres outside! They truly went above and beyond to get us anything we needed without even having to ask. I didn't eat any of the street tacos, but I heard they were amazing! We had braised short rib and Tuscan chicken as our entrees, and both were delicious. The waffles and ice cream for desert was also a hit. Our party favor was a beer (IPA) brewed for us by our favorite brewery, and Jean made sure that all 10 cases stayed cold (this was very important for me) and put them out on the bar and the end of the party for everyone to take! It's the little things! My wife and I wished we could be guests at our own wedding. We would absolutely recommend the Drexelbrook to anyone planning weddings or large events. 5 stars! read more

Everything at the Drexelbrook was absolutely amazing. The staff was diligent and kind and went above and beyond during our time there. We rented out the facility to test students for PSSA/Keystone testing. Although this was unfamiliar territory for the staff at the Drexelbrook, they went out of their way to work with us and make sure everything was up to par. Everything was perfect during our time there in April and May. Roxanne Ranelli PA Cyber read more
