There has never been a more appropriate time to select athletics-related Philadelphia wedding venues for your special day.
Here are four sports themed wedding locations in Philadelphia to love:

1. Citizens Bank Park
Think outside the batter’s box and celebrate your special day in the home of the Philadelphia Phillies: Citizens Bank Park. From on-field ceremonies to upscale receptions to wedding party photos with the field as a backdrop, Citizens Bank Park offers a unique venue. Certainly one that guests and newlyweds alike will never forget.
If seeking a more intimate atmosphere than suggested by its 21 acres, Citizens Bank Park also boasts several smaller event spaces. For example, there is the Diamond Club and Hall of Fame Club. Regardless of where within the park you decide to have your wedding, the celebration is sure to be a home run!

3. Racquet Club of Philadelphia
Shifting away from the stadium theme, but just as sporty nonetheless, is the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. Built in 1889, this beautiful and historic setting will serve as the perfect backdrop for your special day. In fact, not only does it house world-class facilities for squash, court tennis, and racquets, the club also offers the perfect wedding venue. For example, its grand staircase, high ceilings, delicate marble floors, original artwork, offer understated sophistication. Additionally, the club offers thirteen guest rooms that can be booked by the newlyweds, as well as their family and friends for those looking to extend their celebration!
4. Beaver Park Stadium
WE ARE married! Though technically not in Philadelphia, this venue is ideal for the heap of
proud Penn Staters in the region. In addition, Beaver Park Stadium is the second largest in the nation, and
will allow newlyweds the nostalgic backdrop of the scoreboard or student section. Though couples can’t get married on the field itself, the stadium offers four event rooms each with
unique guest capacities and amenities. Go Nittany Lions!
Lastly, if you are a sports loving couple, hopefully, you will find one of these Philadelphia wedding venues hit it out of the park.
