Personalized touches make your wedding reception that much more memorable – not just for you and your partner, but for all your beloved guests too!

One look at Franklin Commons, and Stacy and Michael knew they found their spot. Our unique wedding venue allows for personalized touches to shine through. Plus, our team loves putting together one-of-a-kind wedding receptions!

Stacy and Michael chose our Art Gallery for their ceremony, and we couldn’t think of a more unforgettable setting from them to say their “I Do’s”. Local artwork adorns the walls of the gallery, making for stunning pictures.

The fun didn’t stop there. As guests were led to the Bistro and Campus Walk for cocktail hour, they were greeted with Hors D’oeuvres stations, a Beer Station, and a Cigar Bar! All the culinary delights, prepared by the award-winning chefs at Drexelbrook Catering, were a huge hit.

Guests filled their plates with delicious bites from the Sliders and Taste Of The West stations. This was followed up by grabbing a nice, cold craft beer from the Beer Station to wash down the food with. Stacy and Michael really thought of everything!

As guests mingled during cocktail hour, our wait staff carried platters of scrumptious Hors D’oeuvres. From vegetarian options to seafood delights, there was something for everyone. Guests raved on about the Bay Scallops wrapped in Pepper Bacon and the Miniature Brioche with Braised Short Rib and Brie Cheese.

As cocktail hour came to a close, we opened the doors to our famous Franklin Hall. The decor was an absolute dream! Botanical elements and touches of sage green decor transformed our hall into a lush haven.

After the beautiful couple shared their first dance, we brought out the first course of Butter Lettuce Salad with Roasted Pears, Aged Cheddar, Candied Walnuts and Citrus Vinaigrette Served with Rolls & Butter. For the Main Course, guests could choose between Beef Short Rib Slow Braised and finished with a Seasonal Ale Reduction with Crispy Onion Straw, Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cakes with Spicy Avocado Aioli, or Eggplant “Involtini” Filled with Sautéed Spinach, Ricotta Cheese and Diced Seasonal Vegetables.

We brought out a stunning tiered cake baked by Brooklyn Girl Bakery for the cake cutting ceremony. The cake’s floral ornaments matched our interior, making for a truly picture-perfect moment!

When everyone was nice and full, they headed to the dance floor and danced away to hits and classics. In between dancing, guests could help themselves to our Dessert Station. The Boardwalk Waffles and Ice Cream Hot & Steamy Belgian Waffles, Cinnamon Ice Cream Whipped Cream and Hot Fudge gave everyone energy to keep dancing the night away!

As the evening came to a close, everyone was given sweet treats of their choice to enjoy on the way home.

The beautiful bride had such a wonderful experience, she shared these heartwarming words with our team:

Our night exceeded every expectation we had. The Franklin Hall ballroom was transformed into exactly how we imagined but even prettier in the evening light. I would recommend this venue, and Drexelbrook Catering to anyone!

Congratulations to the gorgeous newlyweds! Our team loved being a part of your special day!
