About

History

Manayunk Brewery is a venue steeped in local history. This building was constructed in 1822 by Ann Dawson. In 1912, the Krook family purchased the site, converting it to a woolen mill. The business continued until 1992, when the Krooks sold the building to Harry Renner IV. Harry had a vision for the building, and it entered a new chapter as a retail space, a brewery, and an event space. A new family tradition began when his daughter took over in 2004, ready to host stylish weddings for couples in the Keystone State.

Better than we imagined

I honestly cannot rave enough about the experience my husband and I had hosting our reception at the Manayunk Brewing Company. Right off the bat, the coordinator Paris is amazing! We were excited about the space and menu going into our first tour, but upon meeting Paris, we were truly sold on having our reception here. She immediately made us feel like we were in good hands. We booked nearly 20 months ahead of our date and during all of that time, Paris was always available to answer our questions, no matter how big or small they were. We truly felt supported by Paris throughout the entire planning process.

When we had our tasting, we thoroughly enjoyed all of the menu items we tried. We've been to a lot of other weddings where the couple raved about the food at their tasting, and the food was your run-of-the-mill wedding food. That simply was not the case with the Manayunk Brewing Company. Our food was just as good, if not better, during our reception as it was at our tasting. And the service was impeccable. Multiple servers stopped my husband and me during cocktail hour to ask if we wanted a platter of the passed hors d'oeuvre made up for us and within minutes, that platter was brought over to us. And, during dinner service, servers surrounded our guest tables and served each guest's meal at the same time so no one at the table was left waiting. Our guests have continued to tell us how good the food was and that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. The bar staff was amazing, keeping the drinks flowing for our guests. And the attendant who assisted us with cutting our cake also personally took it upon himself to have our small cake to make sure our parents also got a slice.

My husband and I truly could not be happier with choosing to host our reception at the Manayunk Brewing Company. The space was beautiful and modern, and the service was even better than we could have expected. 10/10 would do it all over again here if we could!

Amazing Venue, Great Location, Fantastic People

We had our reception here May of 2023 and it was perfect!!! Paris, Deyna, Chef Rich and the rest of the team at Manayunk were awesome! Special shout out to Deyna who made it feel like I was working with a friend not a vendor. They are very accommodating and super customizable. We didn’t do a ceremony, instead we showed a video of our ceremony in Colorado, but they were still willing to work with my vision. I did see a review stating they don’t help you with anything. It is very clearly stated in the contract and they tell you when you tour that they recommend you hiring a day of coordinator for things like that because their focus is on their staff and the kitchen. This literally made the reception that much better, the staff was SO friendly and the food was FANTASTIC. I keep getting feedback from guests saying it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Chef Rich worked with all dietary restrictions and I was able to have a vegan entree at my wedding. The vegan entree was so good I ended up ordering it as my choice for dinner (I’m not vegan). Deyna was there all day, completely accessible if I had an issue I knew I could go to her. I did not need to because I hired a day of coordinator who was also amazing and happens to work with Manayunk all the time, so my day was completely seamless. I will note that most of the customization I was looking for I did pay for but it was nice to have a place that I could customize things to my heart’s content and not have to bring everything in myself. I highly recommended Manayunk Brewery the people, the food, the location was all perfect.

Incredible!

If you are considering this venue as one of your options, make it your absolute decision to book your wedding! If you have never been here or heard of this place - go there! The restaurant is awesome and has great vibes. The wedding space is upstairs and just so incredibly cool! Paris and Deyna - you cannot go wrong. We bugged them with crazy questions and they were not only patient and kind - they were SO supportive and helpful. We ended up booking out photographer based off of their recommendation - and are NOT SORRY.

The day of our wedding - we had a Steampunk theme - the entire staff was on point - everyone was friendly and helpful - as the bride, I had NO STRESS! Paris and Deyna kept everyone on task and organized, we were all laughing and having a great time ALL DAY.

The space was killer for our theme and we had a LOT of DIY to go with it, everyone pitched in to help us set up. The wait staff and bartenders, AMAZING!

Also, I think it's important to add that you will NEVER find better wedding food than here. The Filet Mignon was to DIE for, oh and the Mushroom Cannellini - OMG --> Chef is the best. He completely went out of his way to ensure that one of our guests (a child with PKU) who cannot eat protein was accommodated. This child has never been able to eat at a restaurant before, but Chef made sure to get an approved list from his mom and he was actually able to eat an entire meal out with all of us.

Book your wedding here, you will NOT regret it!
