    Amazing food and overall experience.

    Getting married at Platform Thirty was the BEST decision we ever could have made. The Lisa's (you will work with 2 of them) made us feel so comfortable and stress free; from contract modifications to food choices to placement of all our decor. They executed a vision we didn't even know we had. Additionally, all out guests raved about the delicious food!!! I would go back to Platform Thirty hands down, for any event!

    Fall wedding

    We had our wedding at Playform 30 this October and we are so happy we chose Platform 30! The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, the venue was gorgeous! Everything ran smoothly on the day of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. No complaints about Platform 30 and I highly highly recommend booking here.

    Everything You Need in One Place!

    This venue was perfect for our brunch wedding! It was great to have all of our needs in one package (food, linens, parking, cake, etc.) but if there was anything that we envisioned that wasn't on the list, Platform Thirty was able to provide it or send us in the right direction. We wanted to add lounge seating so they set us up with their vendor and the process was seamless. The included valet parking was a huge perk for guests. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! We even added sushi to the menu and the guests raved about it. I really liked this venue because we didn't have to add much for decor, just small touches with no fuss. This was definitely the perfect place for our wedding.

    Simply perfect!

    The staff was incredible! Absolutely amazing night!!! From the very beginning of planning to the end of our wedding day they were extremely diligent with making sure we were covered.

    We were provided with most of what was needed for the wedding which made planning easy for the decor that was added.

    I really can’t put into words how happy we are. That was the most important day of our lives and they made sure we had memories to last a life time. Thank you over and over. We will surely be sending out an amazing review and telling everyone we know to book with you!

    A Magical Spot in Manayunk!

    Our Platform Thirty wedding experience was a delight! The Lisas (Lisa G and Lisa W) made sure that we were loved and cared for from the start of our planning journey. They responded to emails efficiently and were able to find answers to all of our questions. The venue suited our needs perfectly and is so lovely inside that you don't even need to think about wedding decor because it really does speak for itself. The included uplighting and pin spots enhanced the natural beauty of the setting. Our bartenders were amazing. Our waitstaff was wonderful. Valet parking made it convenient for our guests to drive if they wished but the location on the train is helpful too! They also provided so many options for us to enhance our wedding experience with vendor recommendations. We were able to have indoor fireworks/sparklers as a surprise! They had a great alcoholic beverage program as well as many options for providing enhancements to your guests. There is a spacious bridal suite as well as an area for their partner. Lisa Gratzinger is professional and makes you feel that your wedding experience is special and important. Our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere. They made it seamless for things that you're looking for in your wedding packages. We're really happy that we chose Platform Thirty for our day and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and affordable wedding venue in Philadelphia!

    Best NYE Ever!

    Platform Thirty went above and beyond to make our New Years Eve wedding absolutely amazing. The team blew us away and our guests had a great time! From cocktail hour, to a balloon drop at midnight, to the mini cheesesteak bar at the end of the night - we couldn't have asked for more!

    The best!!

    We had the most amazing time. We couldn’t thank them enough. From both Lisa’s to the catering staff. Everything turned out perfect. The food was delicious and the drinks were flowing. I am so happy we chose Platform Thirty and their team for our wedding.

    Affordable Perfection

    Platform Thirty was the perfect venue for my wedding vision. I've never been a church or ballroom/banquet hall kind of gal. PF30 was perfection: modern, industrial, intimate. Both of The Lisas (that's what I call them :) are fantastic! I worked with Lisa W at the beginning of my planning journey: venue walk through and booking. I worked very closely with Lisa G throughout the entirety of my planning process. She was super responsive to my never ending list of questions/concerns and helped with my vision. She was incredibly instrumental during my rehearsal--asking the right questions, corralling our wedding party, giving us "an experience." I can't praise her, the PF30 staff, and the contracted catering company enough! They did a phenomenal job. I would choose PF30 over and over again. You can't go wrong with this venue and its staff. Choose wisely :)

    Saved our wedding day!

    Our original wedding plans for 10/15/21 were almost cancelled due to Hurricane Ida damaging our first venue. Less than three weeks before the wedding, we were without a location and with pure chance we were able to find Platform Thirty. Not only were they available on our day, but they were in the same town as our original venue, so NOTHING else had to be changed!

    Beyond the luck we had with finding this location, the two Lisa's are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! They went above and beyond to help make our special day absolutely perfect. Their attention to detail and making sure everything went as planned was exactly what we needed. I was able to walk into Platform Thirty the day of the wedding and I didn't have to answer a single question, search for a vendor, or worry about a single thing because these ladies had my back and executed everything perfectly.

    The servers and bartenders was some of the most attentive staff I've ever seen. During dinner, they were everywhere...dropping food off in a timely manner, checking on our guests, even going to the bar and refilling drink orders. The food was also delicious (I highly recommend the brisket mac and cheese and bacon wrapped scallops for cocktail hour!)

    There was no shortage of compliments that our guests gave to all staff at Platform Thirty...in fact they are still raving about it two weeks later. I truly believe that everything happened for a reason and that we were meant to have our event here. If you are starting your search for an industrial/modern feel then look no further...an added bonus, they are connected to the Manayunk Train Station and our best pictures were captured on there during our first look and when a few trains came by!

    Dream Wedding was a Success

    Platform Thirty was the perfect venue for my wedding. I wanted a cozy and unique venue for my dream wedding but was so lost when I was starting to look. All the venues I had previously made visits to had somethings that I was not happy with...untill I went to go visit Platform Thirty. The historical building was PERFECT in size and style for my wedding of 120 guests. I loved the unique industrial look the space had, but it also catered to the cozy vibe that I was going for. Not to mention that the space itself is right next to the train tracks that are perfect for wedding day photos!

    Lisa and the rest of the crew were also SO amazing. Lisa catered to all my questions and needs to prevent me from turning into bridezilla :) She never failed to catch any details in which I would have missed when trying to plan for the perfect day. Any time of day, whenever I had a question or in need of clarification, or even just guidance in general, Lisa was only a call/email away and answered my questions and concerns with such warmth and professionalism. 98% of my guests were Korean which means I could not let the day go by without having Soju at the wedding. I asked Lisa if we could work something out to have Soju at the open bar, and she said "YEAH WHY NOT!" She even went as far as going out to try out the soju herself (to which she said she loved it!) Lisa turned my small question/suggestion into a reality which I am so thankful for.

    The professionalism and passion from the team at Platform Thirty made my wedding as beautiful and smooth as can be. The perfect ceremony, reception, food, drinks, and all the good vibes in general are the outcome of the team at Platform Thirty.

    Thank you

    Unique Place

    Though this was not the venue my fiancé and I decided to book, it came in a super close second. Firstly, it was a really unique location, being an old train station. It had a mix of modern decor with some old fashioned feel. The bridal party suite is huge and there is even an upstairs loft area overlooking the main reception space that can be used for whatever you want! We met Lisa who was the nicest person ever! She was so enthusiastic and explained so much that we hardly had questions because she went over everything! She was easy to communicate with and if you’re looking for a unique venue, this is your spot.

    Best Day of Our Lives.

    Platform Thirty was the ultimate wedding venue for us. They had historical charm, modern design, and delicious food. Both the Lisa’s took care of us from start to finish, and we felt taken care of every step of the way. We had so many people telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and it wouldn’t be possible with Platform Thirty.

    Marianne's wedding review

    From our 1st visit until walking out the door after our daughters wedding, Lisa Gratzinger and her staff provided a level of attention and service that was truly exceptional! The venue is unique and was perfect for our daughter and all our guest. The food provided by Mario was excellent and we received many compliments about all of it from appetizers thru deserts. The level of service the staff provided was outstanding and again we received so many compliments from our guests about the attention they received from the entire staff.
    We would highly recommend Platform 30 as a wedding venue. You will be delighted and impressed from beginning to end.
    Thanks again to Lisa and the entire staff for making our daughters wedding everything she dreamed of.

    Platform Thirty Review

    My husband and I hosted our wedding at Platform Thirty at Beat Street Station and it was a memorable and beautiful event. From the beginning we knew we were in good hands when we met Sales Manager, Lisa Webb, for a private showing of the space. Lisa is down to earth, professional and knowledgeable about the packages Platform Thirty has to offer. Once we agreed to book, Lisa gave us a list of suggested vendors and party enhancements which was spot-on and saved us the hassle of going through unnecessary research of our own.
    The space itself has an overall industrial design with a touch of Art Deco flair and the size was perfectly suited for our wedding party, which included 95 guests. We appreciated that Platform Thirty is setup for hosting only one event at a time and also this venue offers door to door valet service, with the cars driven to a secure off-site parking lot.
    At this point we were then handed over to Lisa Gratzinger who handled the actual planning of our wedding and reception. Lisa is detail-oriented, accommodating and filled with creative ideas. She listened to what we wanted and communicated with her team all of the special touches my husband and I requested.
    On the day of our wedding, Marc and Jeremiah went above and beyond to make sure everything ran as smooth as possible. Jeremiah did a great job executing our setup and Marc was the perfect on-site coordinator, with his good nature and know-how. He had everyone smiling and at the same time kept our event moving along in a comfortable manner.
    These are the type of people you want to handle your special event and as a result our guests raved about the venue and service. Also the food* and drinks were outstanding! And it is for these reasons I recommend Platform Thirty at Beat Street Station.
    *We booked with the suggested vendor, Catering by Mario’s, for whom I also wrote a review.

    Amazing! Everything I was looking for in a venue and more.

    My husband and I were married this past November at Platform Thirty. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Lisa Webb, Lisa Gratzinger and Marc. I could not rave about those three any more. Amazing, attentive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.
    Catering by Marios was unbelievable. Our guests raved about the venue and food.
    Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for a truly amazing night.

    Awesome time

    I just wanted to reach out and say, I will recommend your venue to everyone that will listen. I had the honor of attending the 40th birthday party on this past Friday. It was truly awesome! I'm not talking about the decor or the guests, but the way your team worked. Customer service was outstanding, Food was delicious, Signature Drinks were prepared by knowledgeable bartenders and very friendly, wait staff did phenomenal job. Everything was wonderfully done behind the scene, I was very impressed with the champagne toast and the pick up of the glasses. I've been an event planner for almost 20 years in North Carolina, and it reminded me of my team. I haven't seen such a comparison since moving to Philadelphia.  When you do what we do, it's kind of hard to sit back and enjoy the party but I really did. Great Job

    Extraordinary

    They did not just provide a venue, they worked to make a experience, all of my guest were all smiles and so was the staff, they set a tone for the event that could not be faked, When leave my guest were asking if the venue was a club they could come back too!!!

    A beautiful day courtesy of Platform 30

    We had our wedding at Platform 30 on May 4th, 2019 and we knew from the moment we walked in it was the place for us. It has character as well as modern touches, having the uplighting included made the space feel dramatic and elegant at the same time. The staff was wonderful, very attentive and the cake and food that were included in the package were awesome-we got a ton of compliments. One of the my favorite things is how all-inclusive it was, they had the DJ, photobooth, valet etc because going out and finding all those services individually is ALOT of work. We enjoyed every moment of our wedding because everything was just perfectly handled. And the cost, especially in the city, could not be beat. No hidden fees and the services were top notch. We had 110 people and the space was just the right size for us but we could have had more and still been comfortable. HIGHLY Recommend!

    The perfect wedding!

    From the moment we toured Platform Thirty we knew that this was the place where we wanted to celebrate the most special day of our lives. We just loved the unique romantic industrial vibe that was exactly what we were looking for.
    Every aspect of our wedding day was perfect. There wasn't a detail that was overlooked! They effortlessly orchestrated our on site wedding ceremony and seamlessly transitioned our guests into the reception area while the space was turned into a beautiful dining room. The food is top quality; it's just like dining at a five star restaurant. We just can't say enough about the amazingly attentive staff that not only took great care of us but also paid special attention to all our guests. Since our wedding day, we have been flooded with compliments about the venue, amazing food and service. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect!

    We had our wedding here on 9/22/17. Everything was amazing! The staff was super attentive to our every need as well as the needs of our guests. The apps were delicious and never stopped coming out! The venue itself is gorgeous!!! They recently remodeled. The space is still super cool and unique but updated and modern. Compared to some of the other places we looked at they were also very reasonably priced and very accommodating. They helped us with the big and small details. Everyone said how much fun they had. The photo booth that we rented off of them was awesome as well.

    Vow Renewal 2021- 11/6/21

    I'M STILL ON CLOUD 9!!!!! Platform Thirty... where to even begin!! We were looking for a place to celebrate our vow renewal and happened to come across this GEM. We chose Platform for several reasons: Its UNIQUENESS, their ability to accommodate of a small, intimate guest list (75), the opportunity to have a brunch celebration (OMG!!), and finally, the package deal - literally (catering services, bakery, valet parking, vendors, etc)!
    Lisa W & Lisa G, went above and beyond to help make our day so perfect. We were very overwhelmed approaching this event. These wonderful Ladies made the process seamless! They were quick to respond to every email and text message. They made everything so EASY. They went beyond their responsibilities and then some. The wedding itself ran so smoothly. The food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about it nearly a week later. The server staff were incredible. They took excellent care of us and our guests. I still can't get over Platform's beauty. I would recommend this venue over and over and over and over again. If you are looking for a place that will give you and your guests an unforgettable memory, this is it! Say YES to Platform Thirty. I promise, you will NOT regret it!
