7 Reasons to Plan a Cescaphe Wedding

Selecting a wedding and reception venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make when it comes to planning your big day! Once you choose the venue, most of the other details will fall into place. For example, the venue you choose will play a major role in deciding your theme and color scheme in addition to the overall look and feel you are going for.

“This might seem obvious, but seek out venues that fit the aesthetic you have in mind. If you’re planning a modern wedding, look at art galleries, well-designed restaurant spaces, or warehouses. On the flip side, a wedding incorporating more natural elements works well with outdoor venues such as parks, backyards, and ranches. Choosing a venue that fits in with (and enhances) your theme will enable your wedding to feel more connected to the space.” – Brides Magazine 

Here in Philadelphia, Cescaphe is a popular choice for couples who are looking for a jaw-dropping wedding venue. Your wedding day is like no other, and with Cescaphe venues, your fantasy can become a reality. Read on to see why Cescaphe deserves your consideration as you select the perfect setting for your ceremony or reception. 

1. A Variety of Venues and Moods

When you work with Cescaphe, you have the option to choose from six separate venues, each with its own unique flair and beauty. 

Cescaphe Ballroom 

Their first venue, the Cescaphe Ballroom, exudes classic elegance and luxury with vaulted ceilings, a beautiful staircase, and a killer bar. 

Franklin’s View

 

With breathtaking views of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Franklin’s View is  Cescaphe’s newest exclusive outdoor venue featuring a garden-chic contemporary design with grand tents, luminous lights, and a romantic aesthetic. 

Vie

As the largest venue seated in the heart of the city close to city hall, Vie has charm and elegance modeled in the French Provençal style.

Down Town Club 

The Down Town Club is the pinnacle of Georgian-style elegance with tall windows providing sweeping views of Old City and the Delaware River, inlaid marble floors, hand-carved moldings, and mahogany paneling.

Water Works

An outdoor venue with multiple spaces to choose from to fit your aesthetic and guest list, Water Works pairs dramatic, breathtaking views of the river (that only get better as the night goes on and the reflection of warm lights dots the water) with neoclassical architecture and picturesque views of Boathouse Row and the art museum.

The Lucy 

As a modern interpretation of 19th-century architecture—perfect for romantics at heart—The Lucy is the peak of luxury with painted white brick and chevron wood floors.

2. Mouth-Watering, Effortless Catering

With some venues, you have to consider finding a venue and securing a caterer. Not with Cescaphe. However, couples don’t choose Cescaphe’s catering just because it’s convenient. The tastes and aromas of every dish at a Cescaphe venue can’t be beat. Their culinary experience sets the stage and raises the bar with:

Signature cocktail hour-and-a-half, including a chilled seafood bar and gourmet hors d’oeuvres.

A top-shelf bar, plus the ability to add extra special touches like customized signature cocktails to match your tastes.

Between 60 to 70 different entrée options, so you get exactly the flavors you want.

Nobody leaves a Cescaphe wedding hungry! Executive Chef Joe LaPorte prides himself on the high standards he and his team live up to for each and every wedding. If you don’t believe us, take it from one of their satisfied clients:

“While looking at wedding venues, I had many others tell me they host a ‘Cescaphe wedding,’ but there is truly no comparison when it comes to the level of food and service provided by Cescaphe. There is a reason other venues try to compare their food to Cescaphe, they are at the top of their game, and in my opinion, there is no substitute for the real thing.” 

3. THE. CAKES.
