CESCAPHE BALLROOM
923 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19123
What was once an ornate movie palace from the golden age of cinema has been transformed by Cescaphe into one of the city’s most spectacular wedding destinations. Vaulted cathedral ceilings, chandeliers draped in pearls, antiqued brass hardware, classic columns, and a floor-to-ceiling bar create a sense of luxury in the grand style. This magnificent setting makes every moment of your wedding—from the reception to the final dance by candlelight—an experience to be forever held in your hearts. Guests will be thrilled as the Bride enters from the top of our grand staircase, and photographers will love the photo opportunities from the Juliet balconies. TENDENZA
969 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19123
As they enter, your guests will be awed by a three-level cocktail area. And then, as they proceed into the urban-inspired ballroom, dazzled by an interior design that strikingly juxtaposes glass, stainless steel, reclaimed wood, and exposed brick walls with beamed ceilings. Combining elegance and originality, Tendenza is the perfect place to celebrate the beginning of a bright future together. In elegant ceremony space at Tendenza, the stage is set for romance as candlelight softly dances across the steel beams, glass tabletops, and dazzling chandeliers. A ceremony in the round brings your friends and family closer to the action, creating an intimate atmosphere for your exchange of vows. VIE

In its modern ballroom and charming outdoor courtyard, Vie offers settings that are both beautiful and intimate. In the Ballroom, elegant draping provides a classic feel, while amber lighting from the chandeliers adds a touch of drama to the Bride’s walk up the aisle.

The Down Town Club welcomes guests to your ceremony with a breathtaking view overlooking Independence National Historical Park.
