Wedding Guide | Kimmel Cultural Campus

You have decisions to make, dreams to fulfill, guests to impress. So let’s walk you through, step by step.

Choose a location

We think there’s no more beautiful place to get married than the Avenue of the Arts. The view here is bustling by day and sparkling by night, and parking and public transportation are at your feet. At the Kimmel Center, even diehard suburbanites and out-of-town relatives will feel at home. A very elegant home.

Consider the menu

“Venues across the Kimmel Center Campus have plenty of space for dancing and celebration, privacy, great views, and the added bonus of the acclaimed cuisine of Jose Garces” - Philadelphia Style

Garces Events is our exclusive caterer. You may know Jose Garces: Iron Chef, James Beard Award winner, author, and owner of a more than a dozen restaurants. His brilliant team will help you craft a menu that fits your personality as a couple.
