Fleisher's current FAQ lists 120 seated or 130 cocktail guests, while the older brochure shows a different seated limit. Confirm your floor plan. The FAQ describes an eight-hour wedding rental including setup and cleanup, a $500 nonrefundable booking deposit, and approved catering and bar-service requirements. Source details ↓

How to compare your options

Ask for the exact rooms on the contract: a ceremony space, cocktail gallery and reception space can be different line items elsewhere. A guest-facing five-hour celebration can consume eight hours once vendors install and remove equipment. If a caterer needs more setup than the venue allows, a seemingly complete room package can acquire overtime or extra staffing charges.

This $6,250 reference subtotal excludes catering, beverages and other contracted services. Ask whether the booking deposit is credited to rent; do not add it twice if it is an advance payment.

Questions for your Philadelphia venue

  • What is the current rate for our date and exact room combination?
  • Is our seated layout approved under the current capacity limit?
  • Which payments are credited to the rental and which are extra fees?

Ask for one written total

Have the venue separate rent, required services, food and beverage minimums, service charges, tax and deposits. Confirm which payments reduce the final balance and which are extra. Request the cancellation, weather and overtime terms with the quote.

If coordination is included or required, compare its scope with a wedding coordinator or day-of coordinator before hiring additional help.
