Capturing the elegance of a bygone era, the Arts Ballroom is a beautiful setting for life’s feature occasions. Our floor plan boasts a magnificent Grand Ballroom, a signature granite staircase, a mirrored Sylvania Room, and a Lounge & Mezzanine overlooking the full venue. Our customizable 10,000 square foot space lends best to events from 300-550 guests. Located in the Avenue of the Arts District, blocks from City Hall and the Convention Center, the Arts Ballroom is a hidden gem amongst Philadelphia’s most distinguished institutions dedicated to arts, culture, education, and entertainment.

My fiancé and I met with Nicole to tour this venue recently and it was a fantastic experience. The ballroom itself is spaced out perfectly and contains a gorgeous marble staircase in the center, perfect for a grand entrance! Nicole was very informative and really sold us on the place (not that we needed much convincing). This was the only venue we looked at and we booked it. We can't wait to have our wedding here next year and already love working with Nicole!

Our hotel is housed in a century old, 10-story Georgian revival-style structure with intriguing historical flair, that was once the home to Philadelphia's marquee YMCA. It is located in the heart of the city's business district and less than one block from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Striking features and architectural detail awaken the eye: a skylight allows for the play of natural light to our 75-foot central atrium courtyard, while an airy restaurant/bar with graceful archways and classic woodwork bring endless possibility. Our 202 rooms feature bold black and white decor with inspired red accents to enhance the hotel interior's rich millwork. The Grand Ballroom provides a stately yet original setting for any gathering, with views of Philadelphia's renowned City Hall.

I chose this venue because it was in a prime location, was historic, and I did not know anyone else that had been married here. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, and the planning process was seamless. Our wedding weekend was beautiful and everything was decorated perfectly. we absolutely loved our wedding and cannot recommend this venue enough, whether you are having a small wedding or a larger wedding.

Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia 

5.0

Philadelphia, PA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,575

The Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, nestled in Rittenhouse Square, is a recently renovated luxury boutique hotel and intimate wedding venue. Our sophisticated spaces and breathtaking city views create an unforgettable setting for your dream wedding celebration. Culinary excellence is guaranteed through our partnership with Square 1682, offering scrumptious American cuisine with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Led by Executive Chef Mackenson Horebe, our catering team is ready to customize a delightful "bill of fare" for your special day. Our experienced wedding coordinators will guide you through the planning process, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision for a truly memorable nuptial experience.

The Hotel Palomar went above and beyond for our wedding weekend in the spring. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and morning after brunch as well as our room block at the hotel. The even coordinator, Erin S. and the entire team involved went above and beyond every step of the way. Five months before our wedding, I had to have major surgery and quarantine for two – three months after. I was unable to attend our food tasting but my fiancé and both sets of parents went on my behalf. Erin was not only understanding but supportive as my own family and friends were – checking in and celebrating with me after the surgery. When the tasting came, the chef sent home full-sized portions for me to try at home. This was in addition to the full-sized ones my family tried as well. The entire staff was there to answer any questions from me or our family. We had several dietary restrictions which Erin coordinated with the chef on our behalf to make sure those guests were included without having to worry. We had a memorial table as well as several things to be set out (guest book, favors, name cards, etc.). I gave all these items to the team and it was fully taken care of for me and they even knew which favors were to be for gluten free guests. Erin provided a list of pre-approved vendors they had worked with before (we didn’t have to use these) and we ended up using a lot of them. Erin coordinated with them directly as needed, photography locations for if it rained and DJ timeline. Due to the top tier efforts of the entire hotel, we were AHEAD of schedule the entire weekend which really allowed everyone to be fully present. My bridal party and I were in the suite for preparations and they continued to go above and beyond. We had a team member bring us our food and coffee order and he was so accommodating. He brought iced coffee when I mentioned that’s my preferences and we talked about our pets since I had my dog with me (as did several of our guests). Our guests were also well taken care of – from unpacking cars for their stays to helping our vendors get to their locations. I would sit here and list every name of every person that I felt were stars but honestly, it was the entire team. Everyone I encountered the whole time was a five star person. I cannot recommend this location enough for any occasion including just a regular weekend stay in Philadelphia.

Awarded Best of Zola
After months of searching Center City Philly for a wedding reception venue, we finally stumbled upon the Warwick Hotel that met our desires for a walkable and downtown location at a great price point and sizable for our guest list. We secured a date, and with COVID restrictions, were forced to delay/postpone twice. The Warwick was more than accommodating during this time, novating our contract and maintaining our agreed upon pricing each time. While staff understandably shifted during this time, communications were a bit duplicative, and our only criticism would be that our discussions from the point we entered into a contract be documented and logged in a common location so that requests and preferences not get lost in the shuffle. That said, In the months leading up to our event, the Warwick staff was very communicative with both us and our wedding coordinator to ensure all went as planned. They also increased our hors d'oeuvres and desserts in the weeks leading up, at no additional cost. The big day went so smoothly, and any kinks were not evident to us, thereby proving the Warwick's ability to execute flawlessly. Our guests raved about the food and quality of service. To our knowledge, coordination with other vendors was fairly seamless, as the Warwick was very accommodating to vendor needs for logistics and setup/breakdown. All in all our experience at the Warwick was great, and we felt we could make our vision come to life with them without too many predefined processes for how they operate and run their events!

Start to finish the days was seamless, organized and amazing. The combination of the quality of the organization (we did not need a wedding planner, the staff at the Franklin did 90% of the work), the food and catering, lighting and small touches all made the day the best of our lives. On top where else can you drink a Martini in the Giant Heart and dance under the stars in a National Memorial. Can not recommend them enough !!!

Philadelphia, PA

  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

This beautiful New Beaux-Arts style building, constructed in 1908 and designed by Cope and Stewardson, has the unique distinction of being home to the oldest medical society in the country (founded in 1787) and the renowned Mütter Museum. As guests walk inside, they are surrounded by grandeur and elegance, and greeted by Aesculapius – the Greek god of medicine. The magnificent columned Marble Rotunda, with its view of a classic grand staircase, sets the stage for any occasion. With its historic ambience and stately architecture, it’s no wonder that the College – located in Philadelphia’s charming Rittenhouse-Fitler Historic District – has been the chosen setting for a diverse range of memorable events.

We could not be more thrilled that we chose the College of Physicians as our wedding venue. One of the things we were looking for in a venue was something that would be unique and memorable for our guests...not just a cookie cutter event space. We chose the College of Physicians because it fit the bill perfectly and could not be happier with our choice. From our first tour to the day of our wedding, Michael and his staff went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and treated us with so much kindness. They are true professionals and we were at ease knowing they had every detail taken care of during our event. The food was also incredible and we are still getting compliments on it from our guests. Thanks so much to Michael and the CBD staff for a truly memorable evening and for all of the support and flexibility through the planning process!

With towering columns, radiant skylights, and a grand staircase framing an iconic art deco waterfall, stepping into the historic Curtis Atrium is like entering an era when elegance was natural and luxury was standard. Today the 100-year-old structure hosts downtown Philadelphia’s most timeless weddings, from the airy 12-story chamber where couples recite their vows to the well-appointed wedding suite tucked away in the spacious, delicately detailed cocktail hour mezzanine. When it comes time to dance and dine, custom draperies and lighting transform the atrium to an intimate ballroom — and a canvas for decor both tastefully simple or ornately embellished. A full on-site kitchen, newly installed by Constellation, ensures a fresh, delicious culinary experience for guests at very morsel.

I highly recommend the Curtis Atrium if you want to have a grand and luxurious wedding experience. The entire building is stunning, and the food by Constellation Culinary was excellent! The staff was friendly and easy to work with; they also went above and beyond to find accommodations for special requests. All of our wedding guests RAVED about the food and the venue. I can't thank the Constellation team enough for making my night so special.
