Perfect Venue!

Colonial Dames was the perfect venue for our small wedding the first weekend in October. We had 81 guests, and were lucky to have nice weather so that the ceremony could take place outside. It was 65 and sunny on the day-of, and all of our guests raved about how beautiful the building was, how special it was, and how rare it is to find something so hidden in Center City. My aunt said that it really high lights all that Philadelphia has to offer, and we agree. A special shout out to Adriana for being so awesome and knowing exactly how to help us! She made this beautiful place shine!

Best Venue in Philly

WOW. I can't believe how perfect my wedding at the Colonial Dames in Philly was. I owe much of the success of the event to the folks at Colonial Dames, particularly Adriana, and her amazing spirit and professionalism. She was fab to work with from the first time we met, all the way through the process and the day after our wedding when we picked up our remaining affects. She was always flexible, allowing us to make appointments to check out the venue, and gave her best recommendations of how to hold the wedding in the space. The Dames has a gorgeous, lush outdoor space, only to be matched by their indoor space including a beautiful aqua blue room on the 2nd Floor. I just got my photos back from the wedding and we can't believe how great all of the spaces photographed, including the rooms where we got ready. All of my guests agreed that this space is the best kept secret in Philadelphia. I never thought I could afford a wedding in such a gorgeous place in Rittenhouse Square, but it was possible and beyond my expectations at the Colonial Dames. Thank you Adriana!!!!

I Love, love, love this place. It seems like a secret garden in the city. Toni Anne (master gardener) does the garden and it is just beautiful! Perfect location for photos. It's the best of all worlds for a city wedding.
