Beat Street Station: Since the 1930’s, the Manayunk station had played an integral role by offering safe haven to commuters of the railway system. In the early 1990’s, the station was sold by The Reading Company, to be later renovated to a spectacular entertaining facility. The historical integrity of the Manayunk Station has been maintained and now houses Beat Street Station, the areas most exciting wedding and event facility in Philadelphia.
Bucks County Riverboat Company: Bucks County Riverboat Company is operated out of Keller's Landing in historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The River Otter is a 52' coast guard certified pontoon boat fully equipped to provide a memorable excursion on the wild and scenic Delaware River.

Columbia Station: The newly renovated Columbia Station is a beautifully restored train station circa 1858 that used to service the Reading Railroad. Thanks to brilliant renovations and the Robert Ryan Catering team, the facility is now of service to you, as a host for your wedding or special event. A full interior renovation was completed in November 2013.
Ceremonies can be held on site in the beautifully manicured garden ceremony area. Columbia Station's restored vintage caboose permits privacy for the wedding couple and their party. The sandstone facade, blooming window boxes and spacious porch with bistro tables make for the perfect spot to snap unique wedding photos.
