Lauren & Greg's Wedding Reception ROCKED!! Located at Third & Arch Streets in Old City, the TRUST venue hosted their 260 guests that were looking forward to partying until they were forced to stop! The TRUST venue is like no other, emitting classical opulence, sophistication and elegance. The centerpiece of the Grand Hall's crystal chandelier glistens while being enveloped by a dramatic wrap-around marble balcony. Constructed in 1850 and formerly known as the Girard Corn Exchange Bank, it has also been home to MTV's "Real World" Philadelphia in 2004.
Before entering the TRUST venue, Lauren, Greg, and their guests were treated with a lavish cocktail hour outside next door at the historical Betsy Ross House. (If you don't know who Betsy Ross is, ask a fourth grader to fill you in on some American History). Scrumptious hours d'oeuvres were enjoyed along with a cheesesteak station.

Lauren & Greg had a lot of specific music requests, including "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince which I played to kick-off the night when the dance floor opened. They also chose the last 6 songs they wanted to end the evening with: "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison, "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead, "Motown Philly" by Boyz II Men, "Rosa Parks" by Outkast, "Forever" by Chris Brown, and the cap off the night..... "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen.
Congratulations Lauren & Greg!!
