Manayunk Brewery

If you are considering this venue as one of your options, make it your absolute decision to book your wedding! If you have never been here or heard of this place - go there! The restaurant is awesome and has great vibes. The wedding space is upstairs and just so incredibly cool! Paris and Deyna - you cannot go wrong. We bugged them with crazy questions and they were not only patient and kind - they were SO supportive and helpful. We ended up booking out photographer based off of their recommendation - and are NOT SORRY.

The day of our wedding - we had a Steampunk theme - the entire staff was on point - everyone was friendly and helpful - as the bride, I had NO STRESS! Paris and Deyna kept everyone on task and organized, we were all laughing and having a great time ALL DAY.

The space was killer for our theme and we had a LOT of DIY to go with it, everyone pitched in to help us set up. The wait staff and bartenders, AMAZING!

Also, I think it's important to add that you will NEVER find better wedding food than here. The Filet Mignon was to DIE for, oh and the Mushroom Cannellini - OMG --> Chef is the best. He completely went out of his way to ensure that one of our guests (a child with PKU) who cannot eat protein was accommodated. This child has never been able to eat at a restaurant before, but Chef made sure to get an approved list from his mom and he was actually able to eat an entire meal out with all of us.

Book your wedding here, you will NOT regret it!

I got married here in July 2022 and I cannot recommend a better place to get married. I had both my wedding and welcome get together here and I HIGHLY recommend this location for both. You will not regret it. We were originally planning to get married in June of 2020 but had to postpone twice due to covid and the venue was so understanding and helpful. They helped make a stressful situation so easy.

-Staff- The event coordinator, PARIS, IS THE BEST. She is very knowledgeable, responsive, kind, and helpful. She was very organized during the planning process and the day of. The staff at the venue was wonderful- they were so kind and engaging with my young niece and nephews. They were very responsive, fun, and professional.

-The venue: We got married upstairs. It was so beautiful- rustic, classic, modern..but not stuffy...very warm and inviting. It's open and high ceilings and can be decorated in any style. The location is very convenient and there are many hotels within a short drive. There's also a parking lot and lots of bars/restaurants to go to before/after the wedding. The bridal suite is GORGEOUS and very convenient. We had planned to use the outside upstairs deck, but unfortunately the weather did not allow that. But there is a deck upstairs that has really pretty views and an extra bar. All of our guests commented on how beautiful, comfortable, and accessible the venue was. We had the welcome party the night before our wedding in the jazz room on the first floor. It was inviting and comfortable and had access to the outdoor patio which has really pretty views.

The food/drinks: SO GOOD. The options are vast and able to accommodate multiple diets. We had guests that were vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian- all were very happy with their meals! During the welcome dinner we had the taco bar and guests raved that the food was delicious. The beer selection is great, wine was very good, and mixed drinks were made well. The food options for the wedding- wow there's a lot of options! We especially enjoyed the chicken and waffles appetizer, pan seared scallop, and Crispy Pork Belly and Brussels Sprout Leaves. We ordered the filet, chicken picatta, butternut squash, and roasted cauliflower steaks for dinner options- all were very good. Over 60% of people ordered the filet and loved it.

Overall Experience- My wedding was perfect. There was nothing I would change. I started planning this wedding when I lived on the east coast and moved to California and continued to plan this wedding from across the country. The venue provided referrals for vendors, as well as being open to other vendors, and all the vendors they have relationships with that we utilized (hotels, transportation, parking, wedding planners- LISA IS THE BEST) were fantastic.

Photos: I highly recommend La Bella Vita Event Company for your photos. They also were my event planner and assisted with photography- which as beautiful..and venue had stunning background for photos. The canal path was so pretty and a short walk from the venue.
Basically- get married here. host your event here. it's the best.
