The Best Venue & Service in Philly

Our entire Wedding Weekend took place at the Rittenhouse Hotel and each individual experience we had there made it a magic moment in our lives. The Rittenhouse is truly exceptional and their service is outstanding.
Starting at check in, the whole Wedding Party felt like royalty. Our rooms were ready early and of course they were gorgeous and comfortable.These rooms were some of the best hotel rooms many of Wedding Party had ever stayed in and they felt pampered and glamourous. The staff treated my husband and I to a Bridal Suite gift upon arrival and we wanted for nothing the entire time.
The Reception was beautiful and the service provided was outstanding. The Cocktail Hour and After Party were perfect and everyone kept raving about how incredible the food and cake were. We were told by our guests that it was the most delicious wedding food they had ever had. If you are looking for food to serve at the Cocktail Hour get the Dim Sum- our guests went crazy for it!
We also had Bridal Party hair and make-up done in the salon and I cannot recommend that enough. Every staff member was amazing and they truly are artists. Not to mention that the food provided was delicious as well.
The Brunch on Sunday was a feast; there were so many delicious options that guests had multiple helpings. Originally we were going to have our Brunch downstairs but so many people stayed over that we had a Brunch for 90 guests. Instead of the Rittenhouse telling us that it would be impossible to accommodate so many guests when we had originally anticipated 40 people, the Rittenhouse moved us to the Ballroom and made it happen! Again, the Rittenhouse went above and beyond.
This hotel, its location, its staff, and its catering are incredible. This is easily the best Wedding and Reception Venue in Philadelphia.

Thank you for a memorable day!

We held a luncheon reception for around 40 guests at the tea room. We were sold on the room it because of the beautiful natural light, which created a pleasant atmosphere. The patio also created a lovely, relaxing backdrop. Jessica Kerrigan and the Rittenhouse team were fantastic to work with from the very beginning. Jessica was great about helping plan a menu within our budget, was easy to communicate with, and ensured that our lunch was set up impeccably and ran smoothly. The service and food were stunning, and our guests still remember the day fondly. We highly recommend the Rittenhouse, and especially the Mary Cassatt Tea Room, for special gatherings!

I got married yesterday and I could not wait one more day to write a review of the Rittenhouse! They truly made our weekend magical! We got married on the same day as Prince Harry but it was us who got the real royal treatment from the RIttenhouse. The hotel is beautiful, the food is amazing, but it is truly the team that you get to work with that makes the experience so special! They went over the top to make our weekend special - every little detail was perfect and truly above and beyond our wildest expectations. There were so many surprises that I wasn't even expecting that Jessica, Lanay, Bruce and the rest of their amazing team put together for us just to make us feel extra special on our wedding day, for example - a surprise, beautiful (giant!) ice sculpture for our raw bar and personalized notes and gifts in our room as well as our parents'. All of our friends told us that the couple never gets to eat at their own wedding - well the Rittenhouse team makes sure that is not the case! We were able to enjoy all of the delicious food (it was so SO DELICIOUS) because of the team taking care of us. Every single bite was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Highlights were the dumpling bar, perfectly cooked steak, funfetti cake pops, and the wedding cake! They also made sure that our ceremony ran smoothly - Bruce is a pro! I could not imagine a more perfect weekend! I could go on and on because they truly went over the top but I will sum it up: Not only is the hotel beautiful and the food amazing, if you're looking to get married somewhere where the team truly cares and want to make sure that every detail is memorable for you and your family, choose the Rittenhouse!

From our first meeting w Lanay- she was an excellent professional who answered our questions and was essentially our party coordinator. The tasting was such a luxurious and wonderful experience. Bruce was our maitre d' who was so professional-- yet friendly and excellent at his job. All the staff that evening and the brunch the new day- exceeded all our expectations. Well worth the investment and the bride and groom and whole family had the experience of a lifetime

Kudos to all at the Rittenhouse Hotel who made Lauren and Jamie's wedding to quote a guest,
"the best wedding/event they ever attended"! Lori, Bruce, Dayna are professionals who
out did themselves for our event! Catering exceptional! Kiss Bar, Raw Bar, Peking Duck,
Dinner and Wedding Cake....Exceptional! If you want an event to remember a lifetime there is only one venue in Philadelphia, The Rittenhouse!

The Rittenhouse Hotel in downtown Philadelphia was the most exquisite place for our wedding.
We chose to have the wedding and reception in the Mary Cassatt Tea Room. It was breathtakingly gorgeous!
The staff was wonderful. They were short one person, but pulled off everything to perfection.

Because of the staff's professionalism, attentiveness and competence The Rittenhouse provided the perfect milieu for my daughter's wedding. It was a weekend of celebration in a beautiful setting that allowed my family and friends to be immersed in the full happiness and meaning of a joyful union of two people setting their new path together. Flawless.
