Excellent Wedding Venue-NCC

The National Constitution Center is an excellent place for a wedding. The staff was so accommodating and helpful with any need we had. The space is exceptional and the food by their caterer (Brulee) was outstanding - as was the service. All our guests had nothing but superlatives to say about the wedding.

Phenomenal

I cannot our fully into words how incredible our experience was at NCC. From the beginning the staff was wonderful to work with and always professional. All of our questions were answered promptly and Ali worked with us to make sure everything we wanted was included in our day. Our guests loved the food and the venue space and felt like they were at a high class event. There’s parking on site and it’s so easily accessible for transportation as well. I have eternal gratitude for the staff at NCC and Brûlée catering and would highly highly recommend anyone and everyone have their wedding here.

The National Constitution Center is a great venue for a wedding, as well as other events. We are proud that our band, Jellyroll, performed at the opening gala on July 3, 2004, and along with our other BVTLive bands, have been performing often ever since. The staff is amazing, as is the staff of Brulee Catering (exclusive caterer) and the views are like none other!

Working at the National Constitution Center is always a treat. Everyone is so helpful and professional. The venue is beautiful, and the catering is, hands down, some of the best in the city.
