We held our wedding reception at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel in November 2024 as well as hosted our wedding room block. We'd highly recommend for both! We have nothing but absolutely positive things to say about Andreea Denes with catering. We've worked with Andreea for about a year and a half now and she feels like family! Andreea is both professional and personable and ensured we knew all our options for a reception at the Loews. Andreea helped us take advantage of all the amazing event spaces the Loews has to offer (cocktail hour on the 33rd floor, reception in the Millennium Hall, after party in Bank & Bourbon) as well as created a custom package for our reception and cocktail hour that reflected everything we could have wanted. Maria and Lena with the room reservation teams were so wonderful to work with, taking amazing care of our families and accommodating all our changes and requests. The entire Loews staff (catering, concierge, front desk, etc) was absolutely wonderful during our stay. Our guests are still commenting on the exceptional service. About a third of our wedding guests stayed at the Loews and expressed it was the perfect location to spend the weekend exploring Philadelphia.

We held our wedding at The Franklin, with photos on the steps and around the museum, a rooftop service followed by cocktails in the life sciences and energy galleries, and dinner and dancing in the Rotunda with the Ben Franklin National Memorial. Start to finish the days was seamless, organized and amazing. The combination of the quality of the organization (we did not need a wedding planner, the staff at the Franklin did 90% of the work), the food and catering, lighting and small touches all made the day the best of our lives. On top where else can you drink a Martini in the Giant Heart and dance under the stars in a National Memorial. Can not recommend them enough !!!

The Moshulu staff were fantastic - they responded quickly and clearly to all our questions while planning the wedding.

As a queer couple, it was imperative to us that we find a venue where we felt truly comfortable and excited about hosting such a big event. Lilah was exactly that. The space is stunning and speaks for itself, as does the food—many of our guests said was the best they’d had. But the way Lilah really sets itself apart from all the other venues in Philly—or really, any other venue we’ve ever been to—is its staff. Shari, Neira, Andy, Alysha, Day, and Jess (just to name a few) were all consummate professionals and, more importantly, complete delights to work with. Jess in particular—her formal title is director of events, but we think guru is more fitting—was instrumental as our month-of coordinator and we don’t know what we would’ve done without her. She guided us towards the best vendors and helped us plan and execute every last detail on a relatively expedited timeline. Most importantly, she made sure that we were well-fed, hydrated, centered, and downright joyful on the big day (even going out of her way to plan and document certain quiet moments that ended up being our favorites of the entire weekend). What’s more is that she and the entire Lilah team somehow made every attendee felt the same level of cared-for and looked-after too. We couldn’t be more thrilled with Lilah and are so grateful it exists.

Everything was great!! The staff was amazing, the food was raved about and the drinks were flowing! They let us come in and setup the day before and then come back 2 days later and collect the items we left behind. Blondie (Valerie especially!) could not have been more accommodating and they were the perfect venue for the smaller, party atmosphere wedding we were going for! Colin and the rest of the service team were top notch! Run, don’t walk to book your event with them because they’ll start being overbooked soon enough!!
