Lucien's Manor from a CULTURAL BRIDE and GROOM's perspective.

Just save your time and energy and drive down the Merion. This is from a family that has had 3 traditional weddings and 4 weddings in the area. The "UNION staff" gets a 5 star. the lady who hosted us was amazing. HOWEVER, the owner called my brother and told him he should have shut our wedding down. Our guest had a good time because they thankfully didn't see the attitude of the manger. I am convinced he was hired to be disrespectful.

If you plan to have your reception there, DO NOT go on a Friday. the traffic is hellish getting there and you will miss between 30 to 40 minutes of your wedding reception time that you paid for.

From someome who has had family members get married in both places, I offer these points:
1. If you want to take your food (as long as you have a vendor with a license) Merion is where you need to go. The decor is even much nicer (I had my traditional wedding there, my sister and brother got married there)
2. If you want to feel like the money you paid for your wedding? i'll suggest to call the Merion, I am so grateful for their customer service AFTER dealing with lucien's. these people are all about their money.
3. If you want to feel like you got married in a market place (there was another event going on there and it was super confusing at time to get to the second floor because another wedding was on the first floor and our guest kept running into each other) Go to the Merion, it is more spacious and you wont even know another event was taking place.
4. To the cultural bride, if you care about your dance into the hall, the manager of the day being respectful and understanding, go to the Merion. You can thank me later.
5. I come back to customer service, my goodness that manager was RUDE. i mean the type of rudeness that you should never experience for something you do once in a lifetime.

If you plan for NOTHING to go wrong and you will not need customer service from a manager who understands and willing to help, then Lucien's Manor is for you. The owners will love you too. They are all about their money. And for your future wedding, I hope you spend yours well! :)
