We had our ceremony on the terrace outside of the ballroom.
There was a full service staff just for the rehearsal (really unbelievable) and just for the wedding party during the reception and they made sure we had whatever we needed every step of the way.

Citizens living or working near active private demolition sites should be assured that the Department will be conducting thorough investigations and speaking with all contractors to ensure that there are no violations at the sites.Philadelphia Country Club is a luxury wedding venue in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania that is located in the heart of Main Line Philadelphia. These inspections are expected to be completed by next week. As of June 6, 2013, the Department has inspected approximately 10 percent of these sites. There are approximately 300 open demolition permits issued by the Department since 2009, approximately 100 of which were issued in 2013. The Department is also undertaking proactive inspections of all active private demolition sites throughout the City.
“The Department will continue to be proactive in ensuring the safety of all private construction and demolition sites throughout the City,” Williams said. Citizens living or working near all of these properties can be assured that the Department is closely monitoring these sites. Inspections at two other sites at which Griffin Campbell Construction has obtained a permit did not uncover any violations. The Department issued Stop Work Orders and suspended work at both sites. The violations at 320 Butler related to work exceeding the scope of the interior demolition permit.
The violations at 1300 Walnut related to electrical and plumbing work being performed without proper permits and work not being the same as the work detailed on the building permit. These inspections uncovered building construction violations at two sites, at 1300 Walnut Street and 320 Butler Street. The Department inspected on Jall four construction and demolition sites connected to Griffin Campbell Construction, the demolition contractor at the 2136-38 Market Street site. “The Department of Licenses and Inspections is committed to building and construction safety and to the safety of all citizens in the City of Philadelphia,” said Licenses and Inspections Commissioner Carlton Williams. To ensure the safety of all citizens of the City of Philadelphia, the Department of Licenses and Inspections has performed proactive inspections of multiple private construction and demolition sites in response to the Jbuilding collapse at 2136-38 Market Street. Update: : This evening, the Mayor’s office sent out the following press release indicating that L&I inspected four Griffin Campbell sites as a result of the 22nd and Market building collapse: She said she’d get back to me as soon as more information becomes available. I called L&I spokesperson Maura Kennedy to find out if L&I has plans to visit all locations with connections to Griffin Campbell Construction. It’s hard to believe that L&I’s visit to Rosewood was coincidental.
