  Best option we saw

  This was the nicest venue, one of the more affordable options, and had friendly personnel who were responsive and available to make adjustments on the fly. Very professional and worked well. No issues with the venue or hotel during the wedding.

  Sofitel is THE place in Philadelphia to have guests for a wedding!

  While we did not have our wedding at the Sofitel, it was the hotel we chose for our guests to stay in Philadelphia. And I have to admit, it was absolutely AMAZING! In every single aspect, the Sofitel was perfect. I started talking to Svetlana about a year before our wedding, and at the same time I was in conversations with about 20 other hotels in the city. To my surprise, Sofitel was the ONLY hotel who went out of their way every single time to accommodate all of our requests. Closer to wedding time, I started working with Kristina and Tammy, who were both extremely nice, super responsive to all emails and phone calls, and worked tirelessly to make our wedding weekend one we will never forget. Their professionalism matches the high quality of the hotel! I was so happy to see that all of the rooms were recently renovated, the hotel was extremely clean, the hotel staff was polite to all of our guests the entire weekend, and all of our guests loved the breakfast offered at the Sofitel. I was given a suite which was very spacious. They even brought us a small fridge to put some wedding flowers and brought me scissors when I needed them! These small details make the world of difference. The Sofitel even gave us chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne! To top it off, nothing beats the location of the Sofitel in Center City. It is in the heart of the city near Rittenhouse Square, and is walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants, including the Capital Grill where we had our rehearsal dinner. Sofitel even has amazing valet service who went out of their way the entire weekend when guests needed taxis to get to our wedding venue and to/from the Airport or the 30th Street Train Station. Collectively, we could not have picked, or hoped for, a better hotel for our guests to stay for our wedding! I STRONGLY recommend the Sofitel as the place to stay in Philadelphia if you are having a wedding. You won’t regret it, we sure did not. Thank you again Sofitel staff and management for making our wedding weekend one we will NEVER forget!

  Intimate wedding at the Sofitel, Philadelphia

  My husband and I got married at Sofitel Philadelphia with an intimate wedding cocktail and reception. We had only two months between our engagement and wedding, and despite the short amount of time we could see several venues in Center City, Philadelphia. Sofitel stood out from others with its spacious wedding venue which was the right size for our small party. We had the cocktail, ceremony and reception all in the same room. Starting from the first day of planning, Michael Mitloff has been very kind, understanding, attentive and professional. He has always greeted us with a big smile at the lobby and managed every detail with such efficiency. He understood our needs and directed us to a great photographer and floral designer. He reserved us a great couple’s suite to get ready on the day of the wedding. Our guests praised the attentiveness of the staff on the wedding day and they even said that they had the best wedding dinner. It was very delicious! We should also mention that Valerie and Amir have been very helpful and kind during the reception. Everything moved very smoothly throughout the night even though we requested a couple changes in the wedding program at the last minute. Now looking back, we think that our wedding couldn’t been any better and we are so happy that we made the best decision by choosing the Sofitel in Center CIty, Philadelphia.

  I can't say enough good things about the Sofitel as a wedding venue. Our guests were so impressed and they really tried to make every aspect of the planning and the day as seamless and easy as possible. The food was delicious, the spaces were gorgeous. And Lisa is the biggest help!

  Perfect experience! They handled so much, but let us add our own personal touch. Also, Lisa Deluca, who was our main point of contact, was a true pleasure. Everyone was so responsive to our needs and questions. Also, for the location, the food, and the amenities, the package cost was the best we found. Everyone kept remarking on how fancy and classy the Sofitel was while we were actually well under budget. I really cannot say enough good things about the staff. Service is everything to me and everyone at the Sofitel was great from Lisa & Valerie who handled the event specifics to our personal attendant the day of. Everyone at the Sofitel truly helped make our wedding the best day of our lives!

  What can I say, Sofitel made our wedding day absolutely magical. Lisa DeLuca is the main reason we choose the venue because we knew she would take care of us. Best experience.

  I honestly think we would have considered eloping if it wasn't for the amazing team at Sofitel. From the first day, we were there, Lisa DeLuca was there to assure us that the Sofitel was the best place to have our event and that she would be in our corner, supporting us every step of the way. She was so supportive, getting to know us as a couple, our story, and how to translate that into an amazing wedding. Moreover, what many other vendors consider an upgrade (like chivari chairs or textured linens) are standard at Sofitel. They also offer creative alternatives to make your day special, like a croquembouche instead of a traditional wedding cake. I honestly can't imagine a couple planning a wedding without someone like Lisa DeLuca and without a vendor like the Sofitel hotel!

  We used the Sofitel for our wedding room block. Svetlana assisted us with setting up the room block, and her and her staff made sure we were well taken care of the entire weekend! The staff was really friendly, and the valet parking made parking in the city a breeze. The night of our wedding, we came back to our room and they provided us with a bottle of complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, with a nice note. It was so kind and thoughtful of them. Thank you for a wonderful and pleasant experience! We highly recommend using Sofitel's accommodations if staying in the city!

  The Sofitel was exactly what we were looking for. A modern luxurious hotel in the beautiful rittenhouse square section of Philadelphia where we could have our ceremony and reception and have hotel accommodations for our out of town guests. Compared to other venues we researched they factor in the tax and gratuity instead of just offering the per person pricing. It was really helpful when doing comparisons and factoring in all they offer with their packages. We were very impressed with Lisa Deluca who is just one of the nicest people we've ever met and she was with us all the way through planning and guided us on our wedding day. Thanks to Lisa, Tim and I actually ate and danced at our wedding! Then they packaged up additional meals and cake to the complimentary presidential suite where we were met with a bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate covered strawberries. The Sofitel makes wedding planning a breeze as they offer and do so much for you. The hotel block was managed with ease and Svetlana would always respond quickly to give an update and they were able to accommodate a request to increase. The food is out of this world good and our guests just raved about it. The wedding cake is included and when I couldn't decide on flavor they said I could choose two and they would alternate the layers. It was the best cake! The hotel and event staff were all just so nice and accommodating and treated us with such class. I was really impressed with the added details that are included such as the chairs and linens for the reception. They made the room look so gorgeous. I was not stressed at all about planning this wedding largely because this venue is so great. I can't say enough thank yous to Lisa, Valerie and the staff at Sofitel. We had the best time.

  Thank you so much - it was our absolute pleasure to serve you, Tim and your entire families on this very special event for you both! You were both stunning and we have the photos to prove it! Having the best of times is all we care about here at Sofitel - I am so glad you were pleased with your event and so happy we could be part of your new beginning! Fondly...Lisa DeLuca

  We had an absolutely amazing time at our wedding at the Sofitel and I would highly recommend that anyone else getting married in the city of Philadelphia considers them! I initially was hesitant about having our wedding at a hotel since I didn’t want that “cookie cutter” feel. We visited several different venues in Center City Philly (some were hotels and others were just venues with an outside catering service and event staff). From our first meeting with the Sofitel we knew it had the best to offer of both worlds, a convenient, central location, hotel location+ amenities as well as a nice, upscale atmosphere. The package that the Sofitel offers is extremely clear and lays out exactly what you get for the price you are paying. Whenever we had a special request for something, they accommodated us with no extra hassle or charge, which I know a lot of other venues won’t do. The package is VERY reasonable price-wise for what it includes and I honestly don’t think we could have gotten anything else near the value we paid for the service level and day-of benefits that we received. It was so nice to know exactly what we were getting for what we were paying and not have to factor in additional costs if we wanted to tweak something, as I know a lot of my friends have complained about for their weddings. Lisa DeLuca, the banquet manager, was also super accommodating and very easy to work with. She ensured that everything went smoothly, from our meetings to discuss details, to the wedding day itself. I cannot say enough about this venue and you should definitely see what they have to offer!

  Our wedding on 10/29/16, was unbelievably amazing at the Sofitel. I immediately fell in love with the event/wedding planners at the Sofitel- Lisa Deluca & Patricia Mcdonald! They're AMAZING! Lisa Deluca, the wedding coordinator, spent MANY hours working with my family and I on making this day perfect. The staff were so responsive and accommodating- helped us make our "Hallowedding" as unique, personal as we wanted it. We truly felt like the main event at the Sofitel that night. On the day of, I got ready with my wedding party in the Presidential Suite (GORGEOUS & HUGE).We have amazing pics of getting ready-some of my favorite from that day. The Sofitel did many personal touches for our "Hallowedding" throughout the evening. We received SOO many compliments-the food was out of this world-both cocktail hr and reception! The Sofitel went above and beyond for me to create "my dream"-a room FULL of desserts-pie station, sundae station, cookies, cake, and trick or treat" candy bags. The dessert room was unreal.
  I have to give a special shout out to IRINA, Banquet Director, who is sweet, adorable, and helped make the night perfect, & to DASHMIR, our personal attendant throughout the weekend.He was PHENOMENAL!
  I am still on a wedding high and will be for a while. My family and I recommend the Sofitel 100%. Sofitel will take care of you and make your vision come to life. Thank you LISA, PATRICIA, & SOFITEL for making us an unforgettable wedding- it was the best day of our lives.

  The Sofitel team did an outstanding job at our wedding on Saturday evening 10/22/2016. Lisa Deluca went out of her way to make this the most amazing day of our life. We were blown away by her attention to detail and her dedication to please us in every possible way. She assured us that everything will go smoothly and that she will deliver our vision and SHE DID! Even more, the evening became a stress-free fairytale. We can't thank her enough and couldn't recommend this venue more. Everything was so perfect! Wedding at Sofitel was as magical as it could get. The room was transformed into a dreamy romantic place. The waiters and staff were attentive and always there for every need to the point that it truly blew our mind. The food was incredible, largest shrimp we've ever seen! This evening was unforgettable. It really doesn't get better then Sofitel and Lisa and her team. Also, special thank you to Valerie, Lisa's right hand, who was there every step of the way to ensure everything goes as planned. Valerie, you are incredible!
  Thank you Sofitel!
  
  Jana and Bill Staub

Even more, the evening became a stress-free fairytale. We can't thank her enough and couldn't recommend this venue more. Everything was so perfect! Wedding at Sofitel was as magical as it could get. The room was transformed into a dreamy romantic place. The waiters and staff were attentive and always there for every need to the point that it truly blew our mind. The food was incredible, largest shrimp we've ever seen! This evening was unforgettable. It really doesn't get better then Sofitel and Lisa and her team. Also, special thank you to Valerie, Lisa's right hand, who was there every step of the way to ensure everything goes as planned. Valerie, you are incredible!
  Thank you Sofitel!
  
  Jana and Bill Staub

  If you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day – you MUST book The Sofitel! They are simply amazing. I knew the minute I met with Michael over a year ago that The Sofitel was special. Michael, unlike other venues, embraced our wedding vision (cocktail party style).
  
  During the year of pre-planning, Lisa & Valerie, went above and beyond. They did whatever was necessary to help us bring our vision to life including figuring how to seat 200 people in the Paris Foyer for the ceremony! Every question & concern was immediately answered. The attention to detail including food allergies was refreshing & I knew that no matter what it would be a great wedding & it was!
  
  Lisa & Valerie had everything under control during our wedding weekend - even finding shoes for my mother 45 minutes before the ceremony! During the reception, everything was handled so beautifully & seamlessly! I am still blown away. The food was amazing & our guests have not stopped raving!
  
  The attention to the little details really is what stands out for me. Whenever I met with Lisa & Valerie at the hotel – Michael made it a point to be there to say hello. Lisa & Valerie were in constant communication not just with me but my vendors. They would email me just to check in to see HOW I was doing especially as the big day approached! Valerie being there when we dropped off the dropped off the gift bags & other items for the wedding. And finally, having a server assigned to the bride & groom solely to cater to your needs – these are just a few of the many little touches that make The Sofitel special.
  
  Choosing to have our wedding at the Sofitel was one of the best decisions ever! Throughout the yearlong process, we were never made to feel like a nameless client but friends. Thank you to everyone at the Sofitel for making our wedding such a special and wonderful experience. I cannot recommend the Sofitel highly enough!

  The Sofitel is unparalleled in terms of service, sophistication, and quality. From the start, Valerie (one of two main POCs for brides and grooms) walked us through every single step and detail of planning our wedding and I felt as though we were in great hands. From the tasting, where each member of the planning team walked us through the menu and options for the cocktail hour, to the week-of meeting, where each member of the highly skilled team went out of their way to meet us- I was impressed to say the least.
  
  During the reception, everything was handled so beautifully and seamlessly! I am still blown away. During the night of, a server is assigned to the bride and groom solely to cater to your needs and those of your immediate family. He was there to relay any information I needed, and keep things flowing smoothly. I didn't have a care in the world the night of the wedding!
  
  My guests raved about the food, rooms, quality of the bar and servers, and overall atmosphere. You can't do better than the Sofitel in Philadelphia. I can't recommend it highly enough!

  Sofitel has inclusive wedding packages. They have a wide selection of food (from Hors d'Oeuvres to dinner entree) to beverage. The bride and groom will receive a complimentary suite the evening of the wedding. My fiance (now husband) and I were very happy with our staying at Sofitel for our wedding. The staff was very helpful and nice with outstanding service.

  Fabulous in every way – the hotel, the service, the location, the amenities provided! I just cannot say enough. Our daughter was married at the Sofitel three weeks ago, and I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the decision to have it there. In shopping venues – we decided a hotel was best with so many out of town guests. We were down to two hotels in the Rittenhouse area. The decision for the Sofitel was based on three elements: 1. Lisa Strickland, with whom we felt a great comfort level,
  2. the food (Lisa had the chef prepare a complementary dinner for us to experience their farm to table freshness, exquisitely prepared with magnificent presentation and taste, and last but not least 3. the contemporary, light, bright and very comfortable guest rooms. The Presidential/Bridal Suite was huge, very comfortable for the 15 women having hair and makeup done pre-wedding (with 2 make-up artists & 2 hair stylists enjoying natural light with walls of windows). We are thrilled with our decision. Everything went flawlessly, changeovers of rooms/tables/florals/lighting were inconspicuous. From beautifully set up ceremony to the fabulous cocktail hour, the gorgeous reception for which their staff worked seamlessly with our incredible florist, Carl Alan Floral– we were thrilled to be at Sofitel. Our special thanks to Lisa Strickland, who knows her job! She is phenomenal with details, and very easy to deal with. Thanks to Svetlana for keeping us up to date on our room blocks, to Irina for working so hard behind the scene on day of, and to the hotel management for working out a very fair solution when there was a room block issue.

  Choosing to have our wedding at the Sofitel was one of the best decisions in the planning process. The venue and location were ideal, also the staff was attentive. Lisa Strickland is the best wedding coordinator. She knows her industry including local vendors and is a leader in the area. Lisa is on point from day one and is extremely caring and flexible. She was completely accessible, especially on the wedding day to troubleshoot details including printing out last minute stationary for the farewell brunch to insuring both the ceremony and reception went as scheduled. We felt the entire staff at Sofitel made our wedding an important event and priority on their list. All my interactions with Lisa, I didn't feel like a client but a friend was in charge of coordinating my wedding.

  I didn't actually have my wedding at the Sofitel but all of my guests booked rooms there. The staff at the Sofitel, and in particular Svetlana Takaki, provided the most comprehensive and professional attention to me and to all my out-of-town wedding guests. They worked extensively with me to secure the necessary rooms and bridal suite, and figured out the best way to accommodate the slew of children who were attending. Svetlana was responsive, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, and answered the many questions I asked during my struggle to provide the best accommodations for my guests. She also coordinated a room where I assembled my Welcome Bags, and provided the name of a neighborhood bar where we could all celebrate the night before the big day. Even some difficult guests were handled with complete aplomb. I recommend The Sofitel unequivocally; the hotel made sure every detail was taken care of to perfection and made my wedding even more extra special, stress free, and perfect.

  Sofitel is French for Amazing!
  
  If you are thinking about having your wedding ceremony and/or reception at the Sofitel do so without any hesitation! We have been to many weddings through our many years of dating (10 years) and none compare to the level of service and attention to detail that we and our guests received. Lisa is the person that you want guiding you up to and through one of the most important days of your life. We cannot say enough about her professionalism and support. Her official title is Social Catering Manager, but Lisa is so much more than that. She is the world’s greatest wedding planner! Lisa was open, honest, organized, and experienced. We contacted Lisa many times prior to our wedding. She replied each time in a timely manner. Lisa never made us feel stressed or unimportant. She answered each email and solved any problems with ease. In addition, she was able to provide suggestions while also mentioning that they were just suggestions as this was our day. This is very helpful because others elsewhere attempt to do things their way as opposed to what may be special to you and your significant other.
  
  Our guests raved about the food and service. Many said that cocktail hours are usually a waste of time, but this was something to be admired. They could not believe what a great wedding it was. They could not stop talking about the location, hotel, service, food, non-stop drinks and are still talking about it.
  
  We would not have changed a thing about our wedding. The Sofitel has 14 floors, but seems smaller due to its family-like environment. The location is perfect and the rooms are heavenly. We got more than our money’s worth at the Sofitel. We cannot wait to go back for our anniversary to stay in that amazing room!

  night went so smooth- thanks to Sofitel-Philadelphia!
  We worked with Lisa, the point person for the wedding. She is just a fabulous person. The food was amazing! Family and friends raved about the food and drinks. We had our ceremony and reception in the same space so they had to flip it during cocktail hour. Everything just fell into place in a timely manner, on time, on schedule as planned and hoped! Thank you Lisa and the Sofitel team for ONE UNFORGETTABLE, SPECIAL WEDDING!

  I had my wedding at the hotel. It was absolutely amazing. The staff went above and beyond. During the night, everyone complimented the service and the hotel. Lauren and Lisa were amazing, along with the entire catering and banquet crew. The staff members acted like the wedding was for a member of their own family. Can't say enough nice things about your hotel and, most importantly, the staff. Magnificent, professional, and caring.
