The officers which first reported to the scene had been threatened by several wedding attendees, requiring officers to call for backup. According to reports about twelve police departments reported to the the scene and for officers had to be treated for minor injuries after being attacked by the wedding attendees.

An associate from Drug Rehab Philadelphia comments "This incident is a prime example of how alcohol causes people to make poor decisions. First and foremost, it's very disheartening to know that 14-year-old boy's blood alcohol levels were so high, it's a shame that his parents allowed him to consume alcoholic beverages in the first place. Secondly, it's insane that such a huge brawl took place at a wedding, this just goes to show alcohol can completely take control of you no matter what type of setting your in. It's obvious the persons involved in the brawl and the bride had way too much to drink. As adults, people need to know the difference between social drinking and abusing alcohol. What occurred at this wedding was absolutely a result of alcohol abuse. We should all learn from this to avoid getting drunk, it's important to know the legal limit as well as your own limit."
