Reviews

Our wedding was magical and exceeded our expectations on all levels. The venue was perfect and our guests were blown away at the setting, the collection and how impressive everything was. I expect many guests will return as museum visitors to fully appreciate the magnificence of the collection.

Such a gorgeous place to have an event! Our executives gave much positive praise on the venue, and those that took the opportunity to browse and tour the galleries absolutely loved the experience. I have always been proud to be a Philadelphian, but on nights when we shine like we did during our event, I am even prouder to showcase our city to a crowd of folks who are from all over the country.
