Wedding Packages in Northeast Philadelphia, Personalized by Cottage Green
When you sit down with us to plan your wedding reception, I want the first thing you notice to be how much attention goes into every detail. Cottage Green is a banquet hall in Northeast Philadelphia, owned and operated by the Giannone family, the same family behind Village Catering. Personalized service is the biggest reason couples choose us, and it shapes every wedding package we build for you.
A Northeast Philadelphia banquet hall offers personalized wedding packages built around each couple’s guest count and vision. The newly remodeled ballroom seats 25 to 300 guests and serves scratch-cooked meals through buffet, sit-down, or brunch formats. Packages include Maitre D’ service, cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres, a five-hour top-shelf open bar, and full table settings.
What Makes a Cottage Green Wedding Package Personal
We designed our wedding packages with your day in mind, not as a one-size-fits-all form everyone receives. If nothing on the standard list feels right for your guest count or your vision, our culinary team can build a custom menu around what you actually want served. That kind of flexibility is what personalized service means to us, and it shapes every package from the very first conversation we have with you.
A Newly Remodeled Ballroom Built for 25 to 300 Guests
Cottage Green’s ballroom was newly remodeled, and it’s built to work at very different scales, comfortably seating anywhere from 25 to 300 guests. That range means the same room hosts an intimate family wedding one weekend and a large multigenerational celebration the next. The space includes modern lighting throughout, and because Cottage Green is family owned and operated, that same family has run this ballroom for decades.
Every Course Cooked From Scratch
Food at Cottage Green is cooked from scratch, not shipped in and reheated before your reception. Whether your event calls for a casual buffet or a formal seated meal, we help plan a dining experience that fits what you have in mind. That scratch-cooked approach carries through the whole menu, from the cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres to the entrees your guests are served once everyone sits down for dinner.
Three Ways to Celebrate: Buffet, Sit Down, or Brunch
Cottage Green offers three wedding package formats to choose from: the Ultimate Buffet, the Ultimate Wedding Sit Down, and the Ultimate Brunch. A buffet keeps the room social, letting guests move around and mingle between courses. A sit-down dinner brings a more formal feel, with plated courses served right at your table. Brunch works well if you’re celebrating earlier in the day instead of hosting an evening reception.
What Comes Standard With Your Package
Every Cottage Green wedding package includes Maitre D’ service for the bride and groom throughout the reception, plus a cocktail hour with stationed cold hors d’oeuvres and butlered hot hors d’oeuvres passed through the room. From there, a five-hour top-shelf open bar covers premium liquors, cordials, wine, mixed drinks, and both domestic and imported beer. Table settings are covered too, with china, fine silverware, white or ivory linens, and your choice of colored napkins.
A Family That’s Been Running This Room for Decades
Cottage Green has hosted Northeast Philadelphia weddings for decades under the same family. The Giannone family, who also founded Village Catering, owns and operates Cottage Green directly. That ownership is part of why personalized service stays central to every package we put together, and it’s the reason the same family has been part of this ballroom’s story since it first opened its doors to Northeast Philadelphia couples.
Other Celebrations We Host in the Same Room
Cottage Green isn’t only a wedding venue. The same ballroom also hosts birthday parties, quinceañeras, bridal and baby showers, corporate events, and funeral or memorial gatherings throughout the year. In fact, birthday parties are the most frequently booked event type at Cottage Green overall. If your circle needs the space for another celebration down the road, you’ll already be working with a team that knows the room well.
Conclusion
If you’re planning a wedding in Northeast Philadelphia, I’d like the chance to walk you through what a Cottage Green package could look like for your date. We’ll talk through your guest count, whether you’re picturing a buffet or a plated sit-down dinner, and which extras matter most to you. From there, we build a package around your day instead of asking you to fit into ours.
