    Excellent Wedding Venue-NCC

    The National Constitution Center is an excellent place for a wedding. The staff was so accommodating and helpful with any need we had. The space is exceptional and the food by their caterer (Brulee) was outstanding - as was the service. All our guests had nothing but superlatives to say about the wedding.

    Perfect Evening

    They were wonderful. Everyone of the staff went out of their way to make sure that the evenings was perfect for both my daughter and her new husband. I would defiantly suggest them to my friends.

    Phenomenal

    I cannot our fully into words how incredible our experience was at NCC. From the beginning the staff was wonderful to work with and always professional. All of our questions were answered promptly and Ali worked with us to make sure everything we wanted was included in our day. Our guests loved the food and the venue space and felt like they were at a high class event. There’s parking on site and it’s so easily accessible for transportation as well. I have eternal gratitude for the staff at NCC and Brûlée catering and would highly highly recommend anyone and everyone have their wedding here.

    Wedding at The National Constitution center

    I had me wedding at the National Constitution Center in August 2022 and it was one of the best days of my life. Ali Van Norden and her entire team made my day amazing. From the first consultation through the wedding night everything was smooth, well done and I could not have asked for anything better. If your looking for a venue for your wedding or other special event this is the place to have it!

    August 2022 Wedding

    NO NEED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE! The National Constitution Center is all that and more in a wedding venue. The space is so beautiful and elegant in itself, it is so easy to make into a a beautiful wedding day. We had the absolute best wedding ceremony and reception here. The planning process was smooth and seamless thanks to Ali from the Constitution center and Carol from Brûlée Catering. They are your go to girls for anything you need and are so incredibly accommodating. We are so so happy we chose this venue and I would not have changed a thing about it! Just wish we could do it all over again!!

    Wonderful Wedding Experience!

    I cant say enough wonderful things about the team at the National Constitution Center! Everything was taken care of so I didnt have to sweat the small stuff. Having the catering, linens and organization of the ceremony all at one place was amazing and saved so much time. The team did such a great job coordinating with the other vendors to make sure there were no issues on the big day! My work keeps me really busy and I wouldnt have had time to meet and coordinate with a bunch of different vendors. Having them handle everything made it a stress free process. The team was so flexible and nice during a tumultuous time with covid. They were doing some construction but kept me updated the whole way through and even got the job done early so everything looked spectacular. I had so many people come up to me and let me know what a fantastic place this was for a wedding and how attentive all of the service was! We even had our own personal attendant all night that brought us anything we needed. After the ceremony we were able to have a few minutes together and got to sample all the the appetizers in private. The food was incredible, especially the apps! I would work with them on another event in a heartbeat!

    Could not believe how incredible the venue looked!

    We loved absolutely everything about our wedding at the Constitution Center. From booking the event in winter of 2019 through our wedding day in June 2021, Marcy and Ali were incredible to work with. They helped us every step of the way from postponing to rescheduling. On the day itself, the organization of Marcy and her team was impressive and impeccable. The space looked amazing and our guests kept saying how impressed they were with the venue.

    Cooperative, went above and beyond, accommodating, friendly, helpful

    I could not be more pleased with how professional, accommodating, and friendly Ali (Constitution Center) and Carol (Brûlée) were through the process of planning my wedding. They certainly made the planning process easy and Ali, Rose, and Carol were definitely my ‘go-to’ girls throughout the process and especially the night of the wedding.
    Additionally, we had to make several trips to the venue during the process (making payments, tasting, looking at the space) and they were very quick to respond and to work with us to find times that worked.
    We received so many compliments from our guests on the space, excellent service, lighting, and food and I couldn’t have been happier with choosing the Constitution Center for our wedding!

    10 out of 10! Highly Recommend!

    Extremely professional team made the planning easy and enjoyable. On the day-of, the service was impeccable. All of our guests took note and could not stop talking about how perfect the food and service was. No negatives to report on the Constitution Center - highly recommend to anyone who wants a unique venue in a fantastic location in Philadelphia!

    Beautiful Unique Venue With Amazing Staff!

    My husband and I were really sold on National Constitution Center for our wedding venue from the moment we requested information and it only got better from there. We were looking for an elegant yet unique wedding venue that really brought our love for Philly to our guests and had dedicated, organized staff who would help us plan out our day. National Constitution Center was all that and more! Ali and all of the staff were amazing to work with! They kept everything organized and helped us think through questions that I hadn't even anticipated. Ali had an excellent plan for the day, which my husband and I loved, but was able to be completely flexible when a few things changed in the last 48 hours before the wedding. She answered emails right away and was always willing to jump on the phone to talk about anything. My mom and I especially appreciated the group planning meeting a month before the wedding day to get organized and iron out the last details. On the actual day of the wedding, our guests enjoyed views of Old City, an amazing dinner and the unique aspects of the museum as a wedding venue, like being able to walk around signer's hall! Guests are still telling us what a cool venue it was and how they felt taken care of by the staff. If you love Philly, history, amazing food, beautiful yet unique venues and/or staff who will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day great this is the perfect fit! I would highly recommend the National Constitution Center to anyone for their wedding!

    A totally memorable experience

    The NCC team led by Marcy Katz, Chez Bowleg and Paul Kenneally worked with Brittny Lettsome and Victoria Lehew from the Liberty View at the Independence Center and made a dream wedding come true. The professionalism of the team and the venue just made it the most memorable night for all of us.

    I have nothing but good words for the Constitution center! A month before the wedding my now husband and I were told that my previous venue could not hold the reception and we were freaking out. By some miracle we found out the Constitution Center had our date available, I met with Brandi who gave me a tour of the venue and I instantly fell in love. Brandi, Carol and Marcy all helped my husband and I plan everything for our big day in just a couple of weeks which still has me shocked. Fast forward to the big day, I walked into the decorated venue for the first time as my husband and I were being introduced and I was completely blown away at how beautiful the Constitution center looked, from the table settings, to the up lighting to how professional the event workers looked, I can go on and on. The room was breath taking. The service was the best I have ever experienced. My husband and I had our own personal event worker who made sure we were taken care of the entire night! I never even had to go to the bar for a drink, she was right there any time we needed something. She even brought us a tray of the appetizers since we missed the cocktail hour. She was the sweetest and made our night memorable.
    Now onto the food! OMG the food was to die for! The Chef is amazing! I had people calling me the day after to tell me how good the food was. And everyone loved that we had late night snack stations. And the service was excellent! Everyone was served dinner all at once which I have never seen done before! It was amazing.
    I can not thank everyone at the constitution center enough for making our wedding day the most special and best day of our lives, we will never forget it!
    If you want a one of a kind wedding then you have to have it at the National Constitution Center in Philly!

    All we have to say about this entire experience is "Wow!". We came across NCC and Brulee and knew this was somewhere we needed to check out ASAP. We were planning the wedding from across the country so email and conference call availability was super important to us. This team did not disappoint! We started off with a conference call with Brandi from NCC who answered every question and was very accommodating in scheduling our first visit. From the minute we walked in for our 1st visit, we knew this was the place for us. For the past year, we've been lucky enough to have been assigned the "Dream Team" including Marcy Katz from NCC and Carol Short from Brulee. Besides their normal responsibilities of event and catering planning, they took on many other hats - managing our various vendors, suggesting different themes to incorporate into the day, being flexible on timing and menus, etc. They made this the most easy going planning experience and we can't thank them enough. On the day of, they were flexible in adding an additional guest and changing the cocktail hour from outside to inside due to weather. Throughout the entire experience, they never pressured us on any decision which allowed us to have a lot of flexibility and ownership in our decisions. We did our pictures at the NCC with our bridal party and had time to walk through the space before all of our guests arrived. Our jaws dropped at how perfect the entire space transformed. The NCC team setup every detail (about 8 boxes worth of stuff) perfectly and ensured all timelines went off without a hitch. The Brulee team kept our drinks full and the guests well fed all night long. We heard so many compliments from our guests on how great the food and service were. We honestly couldn't believe how many staff were on hand but it was perfect - minimal lines at the bar, every guest served on time, etc. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing and would pick NCC and Brulee every time!

    Amazing venue, staff, food, and celebration

    We chose the National Constitution Center for our engagement party and had a fantastic experience. I am from Philly, but was living in CA, and chose the venue site unseen (and partnered with the team to plan from across the country), and I absolutely think it was the right choice.

    The venue is incredibly elegant, open and spacious, and really captures the marvelous history of Philadelphia and the nation's founding. The views of Independence Mall are beautiful and make for a wonderful backdrop for any event and photos.

    From the beginning, I was struck by how the team (Ginger, Chez and Marcy) really wanted to make the event work for me and us, and were open to various special requests and customizations down to the final days (layout, food, wine, flowers, etc!). I worked with a number of different vendors for our wedding celebrations and the Constitution Center and Brulee team truly stood out for their kindness, flexibility, enthusiasm, and responsiveness.

    Moreover, the night of, all of the staff (including John, who led the team) were amazingly attentive, solicitous, gracious and kind. They really made us feel as if they were sharing in the celebration and wanted it to be a wonderful and joyous occasion for us. It was very special and we are extraordinarily grateful.

    We had decided to do a small, family-only wedding weekend, but after the engagement party experience I could have completely imagined having our wedding at the Constitution Center as well! Kudos to the entire team for delivering a warm and wonderful celebration!

    The NCC was the perfect venue for our wedding. My husband and I both love American history so the NCC itself and its proximity to Independence National Historic Park were perfect for us. The event space is beautiful and elegant, but what really made our experience a positive one was working with the staff. From start to finish, everyone was pleasant, professional, and had a can-do attitude. Our event coordinator Marcy answered all of our questions and she went above and beyond to make the day a success and to put me at ease. Everything went off without a hitch and we feel so grateful for the team at the NCC. It was a job well done! Planning a wedding is a pretty daunting task and it was wonderful having our caterer and our venue working as a team.

    Words cannot express how happy we were having our daughter's wedding held at the National Constitution Center! From our first point of contact, through meetings and emails with all the support staff, to the night of the big event, everyone was very professional, courteous, and actually excited for our families, as we wound our way through all the decisions, and coordinating of details. Everyone did their very best to make this the best night for the bride and groom and our guests continue to tell us what a fabulous wedding it was. Kudos to the friendly and always approachable staff at the NCC and Brulee Catering. If we had another daughter, we'd turn around and do it all over again in a heartbeat. The only problem is my daughter and I felt that the staff were becoming part of the family, and now we miss them! If we knew the next bride that was considering the NCC, we'd give a shout out, "Go for it, you will not be disappointed!

    NCC and Brûlée Catering made my wedding a dream come true. The entire team made our wedding flawless. We fell in love with the venue and we are happy we selected the NCC to host our wedding. Marcy and Carol were so knowledgeable and made sure we were informed and updated on what the day would be like. Our tasting was first class with amazing food options for our wedding reception. They explained the many decisions that needed to be completed in a very efficient and clear way. We received helpful and supportive emails leading up to our wedding. Our wedding was magical. The NCC staff made sure everyone knew where to be and when. The Brûlée team was professional and the service was amazing. Our guests were impressed with how everyone at the table was served at the same time. We received rave reviews from our guests about the venue and the food. Everyone was impressed with the beautiful windows and view of Independence Mall. The table settings were classy and elegant. The entire night, I did not stress because I knew the NCC and Brûlée team had everything under control. If you are looking for a beautiful, unique and amazing venue I recommend the NCC. The team at Brûlée will provide you with delicious and tasty food and great service. We are so happy we picked the NCC and we were pleased with everything done by NCC and the Brûlée Caterers.

    Absolutely recommend!! My husband and I had our wedding reception there 2 weeks ago and it was fantastic. The girls (Carol Short and Marcy Katz) were both so responsive from Day 1 (especially compared to at least one other venue we considered), and so easy and such a pleasure to work with. Never a "no" - always "we can do that" or "we can figure out how." During the event itself, it was the same. E.g., when my husband forgot to let them know about 2 last minute guest seating arrangement changes, We didn't even get asked a q - they just handled it. Can't tell you how appreciative we are of their work. Thank you!!

    All the same can be said for the entire staff during the event. From volunteering to hold our glasses while we danced, to going out of their way to make sure we were fed and never empty-handed drink-wise. They treated our parents the same way. Truly and utterly top notch service.

    Oh and did I mention how beautiful the setting was?!? Absolutely beautiful. Which we knew of course going in, but the lighting, tables, and view of Independence Mall were as awesome as we hoped, so was Signers Hall, and we got so much positive feedback about it. Once again, top notch.

    And how about the menu? 100% delicious. The beef short rib dinner was like fine dining. So tender and flavorful. The plancha station addition was every bit as tasty as I hoped. The passed hors d'oeuvres were too - they even created a scrapple-with-chicken salad dish and a fries oyster dish off-menu for us, just to fit our "Old Philadelphia" theme. And they got us special Polish beer (half of my ethnicity) and local Yards beer as requested. Like I said - their answer was always "we can make it happen."

    All in all, a stellar event that went basically without a hitch. A home run. So many of our guests have already told us that it was the best wedding they've ever been at. And we'll never forget it!

    We looked at several venues for my daughter's wedding. The National Constitution Center was by far and way the best when we met with them initially. They gave us a detailed packet at our first meeting, provided ceremony and reception layouts, recommended vendors, photos, etc. By way of contrast, we came away from the Water Works, which was initially our top choice, confused and pretty much disgusted. Frankly, it seemed as if Water Works didn't want our business. Marcy Katz from the NCC and Carol Short from Brulee Catering worked together seamlessly. I don't think I ever waited more than an hour for a response to an email. You can't beat the setting. The guests were fascinated with Signers' Hall, which is right next to the reception area. You look out the window at Independence Mall. They are not inexpensive, but they cost less than either Water Works or the Horticultural Center have. They also have an advantage in that they are close to several hotels so you don't have to deal with transportation issues. Everything came off the day of the wedding without a glitch. I give them my highest recommendation.
