November wedding
We just had a wedding here early November and they executed everything so flawlessly. Katie was so responsive and helpful through over a year of planning. She got back to us with any question, doubt or change so quickly and went above and beyond for helping us organize things with our vendors from the dj and timeline to the flowers and officiant. They know what they're doing at hotel Monaco and you won't have to worry about anything cause they will be very hands on helping you along the way. We had our ceremony of 74 people on the roof and then went to the ballroom for our reception.
Everything looked really beautiful in our pictures.
People loved the food, the vibe and atmosphere and the hotel itself. Communication was always clear and we ended up doing a rehearsal dinner with them which they did a great job with. They catered to my special diet and worked with me with the cocktail hour making sure I could eat and enjoy the day. Katie made us feel confident any time we saw her during the wedding and rehearsal dinner that she had us taken care of and things would be alright. -

Simply the best, highly recommend!
From the moment we met Katie at the Philadelphia Wedding Expo, we knew there was something special about the Hotel Monaco, and our first tour confirmed that. Upon entering Stratus, we instantly knew this would be the perfect venue for our wedding day - it fit our personalities, the vibe we were looking for, and the layout/aesthetic was absolute perfection. And getting to work with Katie was the cherry on top. She was amazing throughout the entire planning process (very responsive and accommodating), and she was absolutely essential in making our wedding day the most special and perfect. We can’t say enough great things about her and the rest of the Hotel Monaco team. Highly recommend them for any wedding/event! -

I don't even know where to begin to explain how amazing our experience with Desiree and Hotel Monaco was. From the second we saw Stratus Lounge, we knew that was the exact vibe we wanted for our wedding. Stratus is modern, intimate and the perfect rooftop setting. Desiree not only understood the vision for our day, but went above and beyond to make sure it happened. We were absolutely treated like royalty from start to finish throughout the entire planning process. Any little question/concern I had, Desiree was there to calm my nerves as an anxious bride and ensure every single detail was perfect. She even found the most perfect musician for our ceremony--Brian Fitzy (absolutely amazing!!). Our guests RAVED about the food (believe me, this is not your typical wedding food) and speciality cocktails (smoked out old fashioned bar & espresso martinis!). Desiree and the staff got to know us so personally, that they even delivered gifts for our dog when we arrived. The bartenders at the wedding even went as far as to assist us with an after party location (also met us there to continue the fun!) I cannot say enough good things about Hotel Monaco and their entire staff who all made our day an absolute dream come true. Don't think, just get married here! -

We chose the Monaco as our wedding venue for its convenience and amazing reviews and we weren't disappointed. We were initially planning to get married during the early pandemic months and decided to completely cancel our wedding only to rebook a year later, and Desiree could not have been more gracious to welcome us back. We decided to do a completely vegetarian menu and while the chef had some limitations on what he could do outside of their usual offerings, we ended up with a wonderful custom buffet that we and our guests were very happy with. Desiree was hugely helpful both before and on our wedding day and with her help we did not need to hire a planner or day-of wedding coordinator. The Monaco also hosted our post wedding breakfast which was perfect. Our family and guests were all incredibly impressed with this venue and staff. Thanks so much! -

Beautiful Venue - Amazing Staff!
We got married in January 2022, after delaying from January 2021. The space is beautiful, and it's great being so close to so many historic sites. Desiree was incredible and made sure our entire day was perfect! I can't recommend Hotel Monaco enough - it was the perfect day -

Wish we could relive the day
The staff at Kimpton Hotel Monaco were amazing. From the day we went to visit the venue leading up to the day of the wedding. They made me feel comfortable welcomed and like family. Desiree was awesome with answering all my questions during the first stages and the Shannon came in and continued to make sure that every last detail down to making sure my nerves on the day of were handled and taken care of. Bernardo gave us an awesome tasting and made sure my husband and I wanted for nothing on our actual wedding day/night. The staff were above and beyond amazing and I would definitely recommend Hotel Monaco to anyone looking to get married. Our guest are still talking about that night even till this day!!! -

I would recommend Hotel Monaco and Desiree with 100 stars if I could. Our wedding was absolute perfection! Desiree went above and beyond to make our day as special as I imagined. The wedding date had to be moved due to Covid which was extremely stressful and Desiree calmed our nerves and switched our date with ease. She is the best and our wedding was a day everyone remembered! -

Booking the Kimpton for our wedding was the best decision we made for the big day! Desiree and the rest of the Kimpton staff is a delight to work with, especially when postponing our wedding from 06/27/2020 to 06/20/2021. Desiree was in constant communication to help make our new day special with all of the necessary COVID precautions. We love the retro and classic feel of the Kimpton in the heart of Philadelphia. We're so excited for the big day coming soon!
After the wedding: Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true all thanks to the Kimpton Hotel Monaco and the amazing staff there, especially Desiree our wedding coordinator!! First and foremost, the Kimpton and the Stratus rooftop is absolutely stunning, the décor along is funky, modern and edgy. This includes the Mist and Vapor rooms and on the roof and every hallway/corner in between! The food was delicious from start to finish and it is kept coming! The best part was the venue included all of the food, passed apps, cheese platter, platted dinner, passed desserts (everyone loved the fries at the end!) and the wedding cake from Brendenbecks! This made planning so much easier! The star of the show is definitely our amazing coordinator Desiree! She has been there for us not only each step of the planning, but through date changes and our questions and concerns about COVID guidelines. We decided to have a very small 50 person wedding on the rooftop, and she turn the roof into the most beautiful wedding spot ever! All we did was bring her the decorations and she set them up perfectly and thoughtfully. She also helped with giving out vouchers for parking, practicing with our bridal party for the ceremony and SO much more. Thank you Desiree and everyone at the Kimpton for making out day so special, fun and memorable! If you are looking for a city venue that is affordable, funky, fun and include so much with the overall price, book the Kimpton today!!! -
