Harry's Savoy Ballroom

Harry's Savoy was the perfect place for our wedding. We were concerned about rain for our April wedding and wanted to get married somewhere outside of a church. The Harry's Savoy Ballroom offered the perfect solution for us. The ballroom and accompanying rooms are spacious & classy, and our guests had lots of space to roam. There was even an outdoor Italian courtyard that was completely closed off for our event - so beautiful! Although there is not much greenery around the grounds, there is a gazebo that we easily decorated and we were very satisfied with our photo opportunities.

The staff was also amazing. Gloria, the in-house wedding consultant, is very calm & organized. She immediately made us feel at ease and responded promptly to every email and phone call. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, we felt cared about. The end result was gorgeous! The food was delicious, the two open bars were great, the setting and decorations were perfect...we couldn't ask for more. An additional bonus is the bridal suite upstairs with a view down into the Italian courtyard - it was fun to secretly watch as guests & the groomsmen arrived!

My husband & I, our families, and our friends would all definitely recommend Harry's Savoy Ballroom.

Everything was perfect!! Gloria Talbot is WONDERFUL and so incredibly easy to work with. Harry's truly made our wedding amazing!

After visiting practically every venue in Delaware County, PA and being quite disappointed, we called Harry's. Best. Decision. Ever.

From the initial phone call to leaving my reception, I was never less than extremely happy with the service provided by Harry's...especially Gloria Talbot, who is thier event coordinator. She is extremely helpful and accomodating, and I would recommend Harry's to anyone because of Gloria.

The service didn't stop with Gloria though.

A few days before our event, we had to drop things off (favors, placecards, etc.), and there was a crew of Harry's employees waiting for us. They carried everything up to the bridal suite for us.

The day of the wedding, my entire bridal party and I got ready at Harry's, and it was such a great decision. There were refreshments waiting for us in the room, and Gloria and her staff were close by to help with anything we needed.

The food (all of it) was great. I will say that the food at our taste test was a bit better, but that's to be expected. Cooking for 2 people obviously allows for more attention than cooking for 130-ish. All of our guests loved everything as well.

I could go on for hours, but I think you get the point. You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding at Harry's.

I recently had my wedding reception at Harry's. The guest total was 156 and I was a little worried about space as I was having a 12 piece band and expanded dance floor. The night turned out perfect! There was plenty of room between tables and on the dance floor. Gloria was amazing to work with and attended to every little detail throughout the planning process and on the big day. Everyone raved about the venue and the food. Luckily it was a beautiful day so guests were also able to enjoy the courtyard with the new fountain during cocktail hour. I couldn't have asked for anything more! It was a perfect night.

We had both our ceremony and reception at Harry's. It couldn't have been better. From the start our wedding coordinator Gloria was extremely helpful. Even on our tight budget our wedding was a dream. All of the guests couldn't say enough of how nice it was, how great the food was, and at least one guest said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I highly recommend any event at Harry's!

Harry's took care of all the details, which is really helpful because after all, there is so much to do while planning for a wedding. The staff were all very professional. I really didn't have to worry about a thing, Gloria, the wedding specialist at Harry's did a great job and made my day so special and worry free. I would definiately recommend Harry's as a reception venue (and the food was GREAT too!).

We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom at Harry's. They did a wonderful job transitioning everything during the cocktail hour and it looked stunning for the reception. Everything ran so smoothly and was just perfect on the day of. The staff were friendly, quick and efficient.

Gloria is absolutely amazing to work with and as soon as we met her my husband said "I just know if I have her on the day of our wedding, there will be nothing to worry about and everything will be taken care of"- he couldn't have been more right! Every detail was exactly what we asked for and how we wanted. Gloria was calm cool and collected and just put us right at ease on a day that is typically so stressful, but was just the opposite for us thanks to her!

We got so many compliments on the food--- the BEST wedding food we, and many of our guests, have ever had! The selection was great, appetizers were wonderful and there was enough to go around. The soup, salad and entrees were absolutely delicious. And dessert--- so good my husband and I ate it with our hands because our silverware had disappeared!!!! (We had been looking forward to that dessert since the tasting and did not want to miss out!!!)

We booked Harry's for a Sunday wedding (to which they give 10% off of the entire cost). We still have people raving about the food. They were flexible on letting us cater the package to our needs. Gloria, the DOC, is so great to work with, very kind & accommodating & is there to help on your wedding day! The only downside is that a 5-hr. package only includes a 3-hr. open bar. You can't beat the amazing food for the price though!

We had our reception at Harry's. Their packages include room rental, catering, centerpieces, limo, and various little bits.

Service:
Gloria Talbot does a wonderful job. I hope Harry's appreciates how good she really is. She is always organized, helpful, calming, optimistic and kind. These qualities also make her an excellent saleswoman! But she is not pushy at all. After touring more places than I wanted and coming to terms with not being able to reign my large family into a 'unique' venue and understanding the complexity of long-distance event planning, I was attracted to their 1-stop operation and Gloria's personality.
Throughout planning, the service was stellar. They were flexible and open to adding our personal touches. Gloria was also open to setting up a lot more decor than I had expected.
The service at the event was good, just not as good as we expected. Given Gloria's service and the level of service we've come to expect from fine dining restaurants, the day of service was not exceptional. Just needed to be a touch more professional, more attentive and less intrusive.

Value:
This is mixed. Keeping in mind the positives above, I'll try to highlight some of our disappointments:
*Harry's has a great reputation for food. And the food at our tasting was outstanding. The food the day of was good, just not as good. We did get some complements, and it was definitely good for 'wedding food.' I know they lost a chef in the interim, but am not sure what caused the difference. The cake however was beautiful and tasty, as were the desserts. Also, you get a ton of food (HDs, apps, salad/soup, entree, dessert, cake).

*The packages are designed for 100 guests. And had we met that, it would have been a deal. In the end, we had about 65-70. The packages have a minimum food & beverage, so we had to upgrade items to meet that. The a la carte items, so to speak, were more costly. For instance, a bottle of single-malt scotch retailing at about $50 was $400. To add to this, not having 100 guests means you lose some of the package inclusions, including the limo. Fine for us, since I'm not a fan and had planned to use a classic car, but we still paid as if we had 100 guests.

*Centerpieces. The package includes centerpieces from Celebrations Design Group, but what that entails is unclear. Gloria had told me they did not have to be upgraded, but didn't have photos to share. The florist told me they were unacceptable for my table layout (true, since I had some large square tables). I added $1,000 to the package inclusion and couldn't see how fewer flowers could possibly be used. However included in that cost was upgraded linens. I clashed with the florist early on and if I had to do it again would have either stayed with the package or had my aunt do it.

So, overall, great venue. Stellar service. Ideal if you're certain you'll have 100 guests. You'll have to read my florist review for details, but I think they can do a beautiful job (they decorate Harry's for the holidays beautifully). You just have to keep it simple or invest a lot.

I have performed many ceremonies & attended several receptions at Harry's Savoy. The setting is absolutely beautiful, whether it be indoors or out. And the staff is incredibly helpful.
