Cockroach Warning... We had our wedding here in October 2025. The space was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the entire staff was kind and professional. Unfortunately, there was a massive cockroach issue inside the main indoor dining space during the night of our wedding. Roaches were running around our guest's feet throughout the entire dinner service. During the best man's speech, a massive cockroach walked across the dancefloor in plain sight for all guests to witness in the bright lights while listening to the speech. It was pretty embarrassing and we are shocked this happened given the price point for the venue. Overall we had a good time, but the cockroach issue really left a sour taste on an otherwise wonderful day. If I had known this could be an issue I would've considered booking my wedding elsewhere.

We had a very nice cocktail hour and dinner with wine pairing.

This is one of the most beautiful spots in Philadelphia. It’s like stepping into another world especially to get a fix of nature for city dwellers. It makes for unique engagement and wedding photos too!

Beautiful area to park your car and view cherry blossoms end of March or early April. Why visit DC when Philly has such a good option with much less walking? Awesome white & pink flowers on hundreds of trees!!

I was there for the cheery blossom festival and it was a pleasant experience. There was ample parking for a small fee adjacent the park. For bathrooms, the park had adequate supply of mobile toilets for those who could use them. Overall, a great experience! The performances were my favorite part of the experience.
