The Olde Bar Philadelphia

Kaitlin, on December 1, 2016 at 9:10 PM Posted in Planning 1 4

Hi! I'm going to look at The Olde Bar in Philadelphia (Old City). My fiancé and I fell in love with it from pictures but wanted to see if anyone had any personal experience with Garces or The Olde Bar? Their prices seem reasonable based on other places we have looked at, but any insight would be great!

Thanks in advanced!

    What a cool spot-been there for drinks and it is fabulous! I've had catering from Garces for office functions-amazing food, great service, etc. Good luck!

    That was the first place that me and FH looked at! I loved it there and Caitlin was extremely nice and helpful! It ended up being a little more than we wanted to spend (205 a person with tax). We were also a little worried about the fact that the bar is still open during the wedding so with people walking in and out and noise from the bar during the ceremony just made us a little nervous. It really is a gorgeous place though!! Good luck!!

    We’re in the middle of planning our reception with the Olde Bar and severely regret it! We’re already locked in with the deposit but it has been an administrative nightmare trying to plan and coordinate with the venue. Our main point of contact, Claire, has ghosted us on emails and calls that she scheduled herself. We find keep finding errors in the plans. All around a huge lack of attention to detail.

    • April 2022 Wedding The Olde Bar Venue Review:
    • Rating Smiley star Smiley star Smiley star (3 out of 5 stars)

    • The venue is beautiful and definitely a good choice for small to intimate wedding settings. The Garces events management group definitely needs some improvement in terms of client coordination, contractual management and detailed service assist. If we had failed to capture some of the important information that we had talked about during the calls and check-ins we would have missed a lot of the details for the day of the wedding, as we did not get this from the events management team. However, we'd like to give a HUGE kudos and THANK YOU to The Olde Bar's Restaurant Manager Leah H.! She truly saved the day and we are so thankful we bumped into her while doing a walkthrough of the venue. She ensured everything ran smoothly through the venue and checked in with the bridal party constantly. She understands true event planning, hospitality, customer service, and overall being a good person!
