Knowlton Mansion — Attraction in Philadelphia

This was our DREAM day!!! Long story short, the Knowlton Mansion staff and venue completely saved our wedding!

We were originally booked with another venue (one which got a tremendously bad rep locally during Covid....) and we changed everything and were re-booked at Knowlton less than 90 days before the big day! Not only was Cara and the booking staff extraordinarily helpful, they were also incredibly sympathetic for us and everything we had gone through with our original venue. They showed true compassion to us for once! Cara ensured all booking information was sent to us quickly, and we were there touring within 24 hours. As soon as we got there, I felt like this tremendous weight had been lifted off of my chest. The venue is absolutely stunning, and they were beyond accommodating with us! We were treated like we mattered and like our wedding day was important, which was the exact opposite of how we felt prior at the original venue.

With so little time to go until our big day, the entire Knowlton team was incredible in assisting us to get everything organized, booked, and put together. We had a tasting so quickly so that we could FINALLY send out our invitations (which had been previously printed with the original venue, but not sent yet thank goodness). The food was BEYOND delicious! So much more upscale and exciting than the typical "wedding food" menu. They even helped create a custom deviled egg and a shrimp po boy slider for cocktail hour for us! The short rib was seriously to die for, both at the tasting and the wedding itself. So tender and flavorful! But seriously, you cannot go wrong with a single menu offering! Everything was phenomenal.

In the last weeks leading up to the day, Eileen took the reins and she was just as amazing as the rest of the staff. I felt completely stress free when it came to anything venue related, and 10000% confident that we were in good hands. We absolutely were!

The day of our wedding was perfection! We had gorgeous October weather, a team that took care of our every needs, and absolutely everything turned out exactly how I had hoped! Our guests raved about our menu options (I heard cocktail hour was incredible!), and everyone had time to eat and enjoy before dancing the night away in the gorgeous reception area. We also had the wine cellar service during cocktail hour, which was such a treat for us and our guests!

This wedding day was 3 years coming because of the pandemic, so to have everything go so incredibly smoothly at a place that truly cared about us meant the world! I cannot speak highly enough about Cara, Eileen, and the entire staff over at Knowlton! I will forever recommend this gorgeous venue to any and every...

From our very first consultation with Cara, we knew we were in good hands. She was kind, informative, and gave us so much confidence in choosing Conroy Catering and the Knowlton Mansion for our wedding day.

Then came Eileen—who we may have driven a little insane with our endless questions—but she never once made us feel like a bother. Her patience, attention to detail, and kindness were unmatched. During our tasting, she went above and beyond to ensure every item was perfect, and she helped us fully customize our menu to meet my dietary restrictions—removing pork and ensuring there was a wide range of gluten-free. The level of care and flexibility shown was unreal. And let’s talk about the food… holy shit—it was INCREDIBLE. Every bite exceeded expectations. Our guests are still raving about it, and we’re already craving it again!

Dani was the true creative force who made our vision come to life. From design touches to execution, she brought every detail to reality and added so much heart to the process. She, along with Rebecca, were true angels on our wedding day. Because we weren’t present during cocktail hour, they made sure we didn’t miss a thing—bringing food and drinks upstairs to the bridal suite without us even needing to ask. They took care of us and our families with endless grace, warmth, and intention. We felt so genuinely seen and celebrated.

Every step with Conroy Catering felt personal. They made our wedding feel like our wedding—not just another event. From the food to the service, to the people behind it all—we are endlessly grateful.

If you’re looking for a team who will honor your vision, customize with care, and treat your day like it matters—this is the one. You will not be...

Knowlton was the best choice we could have made for our wedding day - hands down! As a venue, it offers everything: a gorgeous historical setting, two beautiful ceremony spaces, excellent food & drinks, an amazing ballroom, and a team that will really go above and beyond to make your day a dream-turned-reality. For couples who are in the process of finding a wedding venue in the Philly area - you MUST visit Knowlton!

We only have great things to say about our experience with Knowlton. Our journey started in 2019 - we were looking for a venue that would host both our wedding ceremony and reception with an outdoor option, and Knowlton was it. Since it's also owned by a catering company, the food is outstanding. To top it off, Knowlton offered the best rates and flexibility as to our event hours. We don't live locally and felt confident enough to book Knowlton without even visiting first!

Over the past three years, we navigated two postponements due to the pandemic. Each time, the Knowlton team was incredibly understanding and willing to move our date. At a time when vendors were having a hard time themselves, the team's graciousness and generosity quite literally kept our wedding dream alive.

When our day arrived, it was even better than we envisioned. Chris, the day-of coordinator, and her team did a perfect job. Our ceremony and reception, including a delicious sit-down dinner, went without a hitch. There were so many moments of kindness and support - as the bride and groom we felt taken care of the entire time. Our guests raved about our wedding, our venue, and the catering, and we have Knowlton to thank for that. All the praise to the...
