I can not sing Caleb Lentchner's praises enough, or how 'over the moon' thrilled we were that we chose Marsha Browns for our wedding venue. I had the pleasure of planning a May 5th Bucks County wedding all the way from Scottsdale, Arizona. It just couldn't have been done without Caleb's constant guidance and reassurance that our day would be beautiful.... and he delivered, ten fold! From ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, Caleb and his staff were so accomodating and gracious, not just to the groom and myself, but to all 70 guests in attendance. I'm still hearing what a fabulous place Marsha Browns is, and how wonderful the ambiance, service, and food were! My husband and I are looking forward to celebrating many anniversaries here and can't wait to visit with Caleb again... Thank you for making me the happiest (stress-free) bride EVER!!!! xoxo

This place is hands down the BEST, I can't reiterate that enough, the BEST place you can get married!!! Caleb is an exceptional person! He went above and beyond for us to make it the Perfect Day! All my friends and family couldn't believe the quality of service, food, and drinks that were provided for them. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. They even provided several vegan dishes for our special day. We even had several friends who said they would love to have their nuptials at the same place! The only complaint I have is that I wish the day was longer. Thank you so much Marsha Brown's for making our day so beautiful! xoxo

Having my reception at Marsha Browns was the best decisions I could have made. I have NOT one complaint. Caleb was extremely helpful and easy to work with and I have no words for how wonderful George was. He helped me with my vendors and all aspects of the wedding reception as well as being our head waiter for the event. Every single guest raved about the food and the quality of service. If you needed a drink they were already pouring one and every waiter provided the best quality of service you could ask for. I knew the first time I was at Marsha Brown that it was the location I wanted to some day get married at. Caleb, George and his staff provided the most exceptional service at this beautiful location.

Our wedding at Marsha Brown was truly a perfect day--we could not have asked for a more wonderful experience. We opted to have a daytime wedding, which was a great deal--we only had to cover the expense of feeding our guests, as there was no fee for renting the space. Even though we were on a smaller budget, we were still able to give our guests (we had 80 guests) a very luxe, upscale day. The building is beautiful, classy, and luxurious. We were able to keep our decor to a minimum--just centerpieces and a few items for the card table--because the space is so gorgeous that there's no need to embellish. The sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows made a beautiful photo backdrop. We had our ceremony there as well--it was amazing to be married on the former altar area, which later acted as our dance floor. Caleb Lentchner, the general manager, worked with us to plan our event. He was pleasant, professional, and extremely kind. He took care of overseeing the details and ensuring that the day ran smoothly, and he was always available to meet with us in person or communicate via phone or email. Caleb was able to provide a vegetarian/vegan entree, vegan soup, and customized menus that informed our dairy-allergic guests of which entrees could be made without dairy. He was happy to accommodate the specific details of our day, from having his staff plate the homemade Italian wedding cookies we brought in for dessert to providing a sweetheart table and card table. He also helped us accommodate a guest with a wheelchair and assisted us with getting parking for our guests. And when we had a few last-minute changes in our guest list just a few days before the event, as is often wont to happen, Caleb was very flexible about adjusting the seating plan and the cost of their meals. Did I mention that you don't have to provide a count of who wants which meal in advance? Huge time-saver! The service was absolutely top-notch--we received many compliments from our guests on how attentive and friendly the staff is. We even had one waiter dedicated to making sure that we, as bride and groom, were fed and given drinks promptly during cocktail hour and lunch. The food is out of this world--again, numerous compliments from guests on how delicious the meal was! We each had a custom cocktail available during cocktail hour, created for us by one of the bartenders, Randy, which was a really nice touch. We even got to meet Marsha Brown herself right before the wedding began. (Yes, there really is a Marsha Brown, and she's fabulous!) We truly had a perfect day and my only regret is that we can't live it over and over on repeat. We are looking forward to going back for anniversaries and special events. Thank you to Caleb and his team for giving us a wonderful wedding!

We had our rehearsal luncheon at Marsha Brown's and it was amazing. The upstairs dining room is beautiful and the food and desserts were phenomenal! It is also nice that you can spend the day (or evening) in New Hope afterwards because it's located right on Main Street.

If you are looking for an intimate and unique place for your wedding than Marsha Browns is your place. It was the most beautiful setting and every guest was impressed. Where else can you have the quaintness of an old stone church for your ceremony and also the top of the line in food and service all under the same roof? All of my guests raved about the food and the professionalism of the staff. Caleb, GM and chef, was a pleasure to work with and was more than accomodating and understanding. It was all that I dreamt of and more.

From the beginning, all the staff at Marsha Brown's were solid. With every encounter they demonstrated a courteous, professional, and flexible attitude; and of course, their food was delicious! We had our rehearsal dinner in the choir loft, and everything was gorgeous. It is difficult sometimes to find that level of sophistication and quality combined with flexibility and reliability, but they well exceeded it. We couldn't have made a better choice!

Caleb, the executive chef and general manager, was absolutely wonderful. There are not enough words to describe how gracious, helpful and flexible he was. It was easy to make arrangements there and the actual day couldn't have been more memorable. The food was absolutely phenomenal!!! We got the real VIP treatment. The service was impeccable and the restaurant itself was beautiful. Our guests could not say enough about how first class the experience was for them. Our wedding day was complete having had our ceremony and reception at Marsha Browns. I highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Caleb!!

From the moment we walked in to Marsha Browns we knew that was were we wanted to get married! The Old Church atmosphere is charming and picturesque, comfortable and yet elegant. Caleb was responsive, accomodating and helpful in every way! The entire staff was friendly and professional. The food was outrageously good. Every single guest commented on the unique elegance of our ceremony and reception. Some of them have already gone back! There was not one thing that could of been done differently or better! Thank you for helping to make our day so very special!

My husband and I were married at Marsha Brown on Friday June 25, 2010. We had a small intimate wedding of 40 people and it was the most amazing day of our life; largely because of Marsha Brown and the staff. Working with Caleb Lentchner and the staff at Marsha Brown was an incredible experience, making our wedding that that much more special. Words can not capture the professionalism, speed of service, quality of food, and romantic ambiance. We had looked at several places to have our wedding and were always left with reservations. After one meeting with Caleb and walking through Marsha Brown we had absolutely NO reservations and new that they would make our wedding day incredible and provide a unique experience for our family and friends. Caleb is also a wealth of information on the resources in the area for all needs relating to a wedding. The day of our wedding I could enjoy every second with my husband, family and friends and not worry about any details because Caleb and his staff had everything taken care of without me having to even ask. There were details of the wedding day and decor that they took care of without question. I was so impressed with how thorough they were and the close attention to detail. The food was outstanding and a year later our family and friends still talk about how fabulous the food was at our wedding. We returned for our one year wedding anniversary for dinner and we were treated like royalty. Complimentary champagne was waiting for us and rose petals on our table. The service was again impeccable and the food amazing. If you are looking for an intimate setting that is incredibly romantic with high quality food and a worry free environment secondary to quality service, then you should get married at Marsha Brown. Marsha Brown, Caleb and the staff with always hold a special place in our heart for making our wedding day truly a day we will never forget and always cherish with wonderful memories. Thank you Marsha Brown! Jenna and Bryan Boyes

Our wedding reception at Marsha Brown's was wonderful! We are from NYC, and we received better quality service and food than many places we considered here. Caleb made the planning process very easy-- he is professional and knowledgeable, and his confidence in his food and his staff really set us at ease that our day would go off without any problems. Our guests raved about the food, and several people mentioned how nice and accommodating the staff was during the meal (especially George!). We would definitely recommend Marsha Brown's for any event-- we could not have asked for a better experience.

Caleb Lentchner did a wonderful job organizing the reception and ceremony at my wedding. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care so much so he could be a wedding coordinator. Marsha Browns Staff was also amazing. They were attentive and so helpful. Many people at the wedding said they were the friendliest waiters they have encountered in a long time. My now husband and I were so impressed with the level of sincerity and genuine interested that Caleb Lentchner displayed after our first meeting that we decided to make sure we had our wedding at Marsha Browns, even if that meant we had to move it to a Friday night. We really lucked out. I would recommend this place to anyone who was interested in having their reception and ceremony at Marsha Browns. It was an great experince!!! Lynda Barker ....I didn't even touch on the food. Go there once to eat before you choose it as a wedding venue. The food alone will help you make a decision on having in there.....

If your looking for a more intimate and unique venue, Marsha Brown's is the perfect place. The ambiance and overall atmosphere was so inviting and all of my guests were so impressed. Where else can you have a ceremony and reception all in a church where the food is out of this world?? Marsha Browns food was outstanding, everyone raved about the food. Not one complaint! The service was outstanding, the staff were polite and friendly. Caleb, the GM and chef, was a pleasure to work with and went out of his way to ensure that the day was as close to perfection as possible. Thank you Caleb & everyone @ Marsha Browns for a wedding that was everything I dreamt it would be.

My husband and I got married at Marsha Brown in October 2009. I absolutely fell in love with the building-formerly a church it is very ornate and romantic. Our wedding felt very quaint being held at a not-so traditional wedding venue. The food was also very unique from the standard wedding venue and offered our guests several selections. Not one of our guests complained about the food or that they left feeling hungry.The service was also incredible. The staff worked well together and were very accommodating to all of my questions, suggestions and ideas. Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing our wedding was and several friends have gone back to Marsha Brown for dinner. I could not have asked for a more incredible wedding! What exceptional wedding venue!!

A great place to have a reception and ceremony as well. Caleb is great and very accommodating. The guests all said that the food was amazing, and the venue is very unique because of the high ceilings, giant mural, and interesting decor. The staff were amazing and very helpful with everything.

We actually used them for our rehearsal dinner of about 40 people. I must admit, it was a very pleasant experience. Totally professional, but more importantly they were so flexible and accommodating. They made sure it was all about what we wanted. The food and service was also wonderful! A great event.

We initially looked at this venue because my grandmother was married there when it was still a church. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and unique atmosphere that maintained that church feel but with a twist. We worked very closely with the manager and chefs to create a custom menu of signature cocktails, appitizers, passed trays, and stations in lieu of a sit down dinner. I highly recommend it. It was amazing, I would highly recommend working with Marsha Brown if you want something a little less traditional for your reception. The only down side was parking and the accomodated us by bringing in a valet. It was a wonderful event.
