Have you been hopping around from venue to venue, leaving each walkthrough thinking ‘It was ok but… ‘ Then a wedding in the heart of Philly at Water Works Philadelphia Wedding Venue is for you! Philly weddings are known for being classic, upscale, and luxurious with a modern twist. Water Works has all that plus the historic charm that comes along with hosting a wedding in The City of Brotherly Love!

Do you have guests traveling in from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, or anywhere in Pennsylvania? Operated by Cescaphe, Water Works is one of the top wedding venues in the Philadelphia area! Cescaphe prides itself on a number of gorgeous and distinctive wedding venues that are located in Center City,  making their wedding venues are easily accessible for out-of-town guests!

Have you ever heard of a more amazing standard wedding package?! To say that Cescaphe Events’ level of care to your wedding day is above and beyond, would be an understatement!

Before we talk about your unforgettable wedding reception at Water Works by Cescaphe let’s talk about the location and your wedding day photos! Water Works has such a stunning scenic backdrop. It would be hard not to put their location and your beautiful wedding photography in the same category.

Water Works Philadelphia Wedding Venue is located on the Schuylkill River, right at the heart of Center City!

Talk about a dream location for a Philly wedding! Philadelphia area wedding venues are customarily historic in nature and full of stories that tie back to the American Revolutionary period. Water Works is no different! Did you know that Charles Dickens once visited Water Works and praised the location for its unique design?! At over 200 years old this iconic venue has been renovated as a home for contemporary luxurious weddings.

Water Works has an array of settings within its venue. Which is so unique when searching for a wedding venue. Having a wide variety of scenic settings on your wedding day creates beautiful versatility in your wedding day photos. And of course, plenty of space for your guests to celebrate!

How does wedding photography with a backdrop of the Philadelphia skyline sound? Like a dream come true right?! Stretched along Boathouse Row which is perched against the Schuylkill River, Water Works is nestled among this historic stretch of location just by the Philadelphia Museum of Art! Can you think of a more picturesque setting? With columned walkways and a vintage gazebo, we can work together to capture the wedding photos you’ve always dreamed of someday sharing with your grandchildren.

Sometimes, my brides are looking for a more inclusive wedding experience for their big day.
