Avenue of the Arts Wedding Venues in Philadelphia From Ballrooms to Rooftops

Avenue of the Arts wedding venues in Philadelphia put couples in the heart of Center City surrounded by grand hotels, historic ballrooms, theaters, restaurants and rooftops along South Broad Street and the blocks just beyond it.

It's also one of those rare Philadelphia wedding locations where much of the weekend can happen within a few blocks. Guests can walk between hotels, restaurants and theaters, while couples have some of the city's most recognizable photo locations practically outside the door.

And then there's the Broad Street photo. On any given wedding weekend, spotting a newly married couple standing on the median with City Hall perfectly centered behind them is practically part of the scenery. Nobody officially declared it a Philadelphia wedding tradition. It just became one.

Why couples love the Avenue of the Arts:

• Historic ballrooms, luxury hotels, rooftops, restaurants and intimate venues

• City Hall and Broad Street wedding photos practically built into the location

• Walkable Center City location near hotels, dining and nightlife

• Wedding venues ranging from intimate celebrations to receptions for hundreds

• A distinctly Philadelphia setting that requires very little explanation
