Downtown Philadelphia wedding reception venues
Downtown Philadelphia is one of the best places to have a wedding reception! The area includes the most historic parts of the city. As a former US capital, Philadelphia has venues that convey centuries of history and have hosted special events for as long. You can hold your wedding reception in most of Philadelphia's museums, urban parks, botanical gardens, and hotels.
One of our favorites is The Westin Philadelphia, located in the Rittenhouse Square Neighborhood. The Westin has a 7,400 square foot Grand Ballroom alongside several other event halls and ballrooms totaling 15,000 square feet. It's also just steps away from the Liberty Bell and the National Constitution Center.
If you want a view of the waterfront for your wedding reception, consider riverside reception venues instead!
