ARTS BALLROOM- REVISITED

There is a new venue in Philadelphia that I am so excited to show you! When I received the email yesterday from Starr Events about it, my jaw dropped at it's total opulence and majesty.
Imagine your wedding day here!





Arts Ballroom is Philadelphia’s premiere special events venue located directly off of the Avenue of the Arts, where cultural sophistication and diversity meet the richness of tradition and antiquity. Positioned on the ground level of the Arts Condominium, this 1920s Art Deco inspired building was the former site of the Hotel Sylvania. Boasting a two-story Grand Hall, Ballroom, and Mezzanine, the Arts Ballroom offers both historical distinction and contemporary style for events from 100-400 guests.













With the exceptional food and service of the Starr Restaurant Group and the amazing imagery surrounding you, your wedding will WOW your guests and make you feel like royalty on your special day. To schedule your visit to see this fabulous and exciting new venue, contact Starr Events today! Not only will you be surrounded with the history of Philadelphia and the beauty of the space, but you are conveniently close to some of the city's best hotels and restaurants. Your guests will enjoy every amenity during their stay in the city. I went to see the Arts Ballroom today and now I am really excited to take you there! So, lets get started planning your dream wedding at this gorgeous venue with the impeccable food of Steven Starr and the historic surroundings of Philadelphia.

THERE'S A SMALL HOTEL...

"

You can see more about this lovely little gem on the Style Network- if you are an early morning riser, at 5:30AM on March 20 or on Fox 29 in Philadelphia on March 22 at 3PM. Here is a clip of the TV spot.

Think of a theme based on the city or the wedding and come up with a creative way to package the gifts for the hotel rooms. Here are two ideas that are clever and very welcoming!
