A Philadelphia Wedding Venue on the Waterfront

Moshulu is a Philadelphia waterfront wedding venue permanently docked at Penn's Landing on the Delaware River — the world's oldest and largest four-masted tall ship, 397 feet long with masts towering 220 feet above the Wheelhouse Deck. Built in 1904 in Glasgow, Scotland, the Moshulu has sailed around the world, appeared in The Godfather Part II and Rocky, and has been hosting Philadelphia weddings for decades. Five decks, seven private dining rooms, two tented areas, and an outdoor bar give couples more distinct spaces to work with than most land-based venues — and every one of them has the Delaware River and Philadelphia skyline as the backdrop.
