Arts Ballroom Philadelphia Wedding Venue

Attended a festive industry event. The venue is GORGEOUS! Parking garage directly across the street. Beautiful architecture and decor. Service was impeccable and the food and drinks were top notch. The servers paid attention to detail and were very personable and friendly. Highly recommend this venue!

There are truly not enough words to describe how incredible The Arts Ballroom is as a wedding venue. From the moment we first walked in, we knew it was the one — the space is timeless and elegant, with stunning architectural details, perfect lighting, and that unforgettable grand staircase. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Our guests still haven’t stopped raving about the cocktail hour, the entrees, and the legendary Viennese dessert hour. But what really sets The Arts Ballroom apart is the team. Isabella, our coordinator, was a total superstar — responsive, professional, and truly invested in making our day perfect. She answered every question with warmth and precision and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. Emmy helped us master every detail of our rehearsal and processional, and our Maitre’D took such good care of us on the wedding night — we never had to worry about a thing. The staff runs a perfectly tuned operation with grace and calm expertise. They execute 100 things at once, and they do them all flawlessly. We could not have felt more cared for, and I can’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else. Absolute perfection from start to finish.

I recently got married at the Arts Ballroom and it was amazing! The venue, staff, and vibes were immaculate! The Arts Ballroom, to start, is an absolutely stunning venue! The crystal chandeliers, beautiful staircase, cozy fireplace back drop, and spectacular bars and cocktail hour room make for an elegant and classic aesthetic! If you are planning a wedding in a year or less this is the place to go! They have in house catering, bars, and work with local bakeries for your wedding cake; so you don't have to schedule a bunch of appointments with different caterers, beer/wine distributers, or cake tastings. It's one and done through the venue! The staff at the ballroom are fantastic! They can accommodate almost any request and go above and beyond to make your day special! My event specialist Isabella worked with us all year to make sure plans were spot on and organized! The day of staff helped to make sure the food was delicious, guests were happy, photographer/videographer were aware of plans day of, and my husband and I were taken care of! Their food options were amazing, we went with their base menus and man did they offer a lot! They also take the guests dinner orders on the day of, so no having to get your guests meal choices ahead of time. So easy!!!! We got told many times after the wedding that cocktail hour and dinner was delicious! They also provide a whole vienesse table hour with tons of desserts. If you have young family members attending your wedding this will surely be a hit, and they have something for everyone! I got married in early December and family and friends are still saying how the venue and the service there was amazing. Finally the venue staff do a great job of making you and your spouse feel special. We were given a couple of wedding day surprises/gifts from the venue that really show they care about their clients! Coming from someone who originally wanted the winery/vineyard wedding scene, you can't miss with choosing the Arts Ballroom! Their convenient locate on Broad Street in Philadelphia provided great options for guests to stay at hotels within walking distance from the venue! This allowed for family and friends to continue the celebration with convenient night life spots around broad street post wedding! It also makes for a great weekend trip for family or friends coming from out of town, there is so much to do in Philadelphia! I loved my experience and you will too!

Our wedding at the Arts Ballroom on 10.25.25 was a largely positive experience, defined by the venue's inherent elegance and excellent service. The grand ballroom provided a stunning backdrop, truly making the event feel special. The bridal suite and makeup room were well-appointed and contributed to a seamless preparation process. We were also impressed with the attentiveness and professionalism of the waitstaff, as well as the exceptional quality of the food. One area that presented challenges was the coordination. We experienced multiple changes in our event coordinator, which led to inconsistencies in communication. While the initial transitions were not handled as smoothly as we would have liked, the situation improved significantly with the assignment of Celia as our coordinator. Her dedication, attention to detail, and proactive approach were instrumental in ensuring the success of our wedding day. We commend her efforts and believe she is a valuable asset to the Arts Ballroom team. If Celia sees these I hope she knows how grateful I am to her for turning our experience around. Overall, we highly recommend the Arts Ballroom for its beautiful venue and commitment to service. It was one of the most magical days of our lives. We advise prospective clients to ensure continuity in event coordination to fully maximize the venue's potential.

As the Mother of the Bride, I can confidently say that The Arts Ballroom is truly one of Philadelphia’s best-kept secrets. Forget the Ballroom at the Ben! Totally doesnt' compare to The Arts Ballroom. My daughter’s wedding on December 13, 2025 was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you step inside, the venue takes your breath away — the crystal chandeliers, the stunning grand staircase, the lighting, and the elegant cocktail room create a timeless, classic atmosphere that photographs beautifully and feels incredibly special. Originally, my daughter was set on the popular winery/barn wedding trend. I suggested she “just take a look” at The Arts Ballroom — and that was all it took. The moment we toured the space, her decision was made. It offers elegance, romance, and sophistication that is hard to find anywhere else. The food and service were truly 5-Star+. Every course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, and our guests are still talking about how incredible the cocktail hour and dinner was. Just as impressive was the Viennese Hour. The staff — the Event Manager, Maitre D, and Food Manager worked seamlessly as a team and handled every detail with professionalism, warmth, and care. The Events Specialist-Isabella Soto was phenomenal from our very first meeting through the wedding day itself. We felt supported, guided, and completely at ease knowing everything was in expert hands. On the day of the wedding, everything flowed flawlessly — allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. I cannot recommend The Arts Ballroom highly enough. If you are considering it for your wedding, do yourself a favor and visit — you will be absolutely hooked. A truly unforgettable experience from start to finish. Thank you for the best time of our lives!
