The best all inclusive venue in Philly

The Arts Ballroom is one of the best all inclusive spots for a wedding in Philadelphia! The location is perfect, close walk for those epic Broad Street photos and access to many parking options close by. The venue is one of the most beautiful and clean venue I’ve been in. Bonus points for being neutral and not having carpet. From the second we booked The Arts Ballroom for our wedding we were not disappointed. The whole team there are incredible, Isabella, Emmy and Therese were amazing throughout our whole wedding night. THE FOOD is incredible and we have not stopped hearing about how much all of our guests enjoyed the food. The selection they provide for cocktail hour and dessert hour is unmatched. And the dinner selection was amazing as well. You will not regret touring and booking the Arts Ballroom for your wedding!
