Stunning!

As soon as we walked into the Kimmel Center all the way back in 2018, I knew it was the place we had to get married. We scheduled to get married in 2020 and then covid hit. They were so lovely to work with. They made it easy to reschedule. If you see this venue be prepared to sign a contract, there’s nothing else like it in center city Philadelphia! 10/10 would recommend this stunner!

We chose the Hamilton Garden for our reception, and our cocktail hour was in the lounge - we were lucky to have great weather so our guests were able to enjoy the deck. Every was beautiful, and the team was wonderful to work with! Having catering/cake and venue combined made it easy to stay organized, and the relationships they have for other vendors was so helpful. The experience was seamless and we were treated wonderfully throughout :)

Our wedding could not have been more perfect! Working with Darcy to plan the wedding was such a breeze and the day of was flawless! My husband and I picked Kimmel center because Garces was our favorite chef in the Philly area and the venue was stunning, unique, and convenient (most of our guests including ourselves lived in the city). There were so many options to pick from for personalizing our wedding to our perfect look and taste and any questions we had were answered promptly. The staff on the day of were incredibly professional and also included a bridal attendant (which I never heard of before) who was wonderful and made sure that my husband and I always had our glasses filled and had time to sit and eat! We would highly recommend you to check it out!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
