I really loved this space... It was well lit, comfortable temperature and there was plenty of space for my event. Sheri was very accommodating and helpful. I would recommend giving your guests detailed instructions about how to get buzzed into the building a few of mine we confused.

I had a fantastic experience celebrating my milestone birthday at the house of wonders! The host Sara and Amin (sp?) were delightful and so enthusiastic to help out with organizing the party. I loved all the touches Sara and Amin made to the place. It oozes class and sophistication. And the backyard is more of a forest than a backyard. There's so much you could do with this backyard if you have a good imagination. There's also plenty of parking here. Communication with the host and Sina was superb! As my first experience on Giggster, this blew me out of the water! I would do the party here again in a heartbeat. Maybe for the next milestone birthday! :)

About Philadelphia

Philadelphia, nicknamed the "City of Brotherly Love" has plenty of history. Not only is it home to the famous National Constitution Center, but it was also once our nation’s capital during the American Revolution. It is also one of the oldest colonies in the United States, founded by an English Quaker in the 1600s.

Philadelphia, PA, is home to many of the nation’s first buildings, such as the first library and first hospital. Historic status aside, this city is famous in the modern era as well for things like the film “Rocky” and other unique venues.

The average temperature fluctuates with the seasons but typically stays between the 60s for lows and mid-80s for highs in spring and summer. They don’t receive as much snowfall as other places, but it can be quite rainy, more so than the US average.

Philadelphia offers many activities for locals and tourists alike. You can snap a photo in front of the historical Liberty Bell, check out the Rocky statue at the museum, eat a Philly cheesesteak, or explore the Reading Terminal Market for more food options.

The city also has a thriving nightlife scene, making it a fun place to party. Aside from nightclubs and bars in neighborhoods, there's also a wide range of venues in Philadelphia that can accommodate any kind of party. From mansions and private residential spaces to art galleries and breweries, you can choose the perfect venue that can match the vibe you're looking for.

Party Options in Philadelphia

Finding party venues in Philadelphia is only part of the work. Once that’s done, you still have to consider the amenities that you'll need to make it enjoyable and successful. Here are some examples of things to remember when throwing a party in Philadelphia.

  • Photography
    If you’re renting an event space and planning an amazing party, you’ll want to find a way to capture memories of the special occasion that you can share with others and cherish for a lifetime. Hiring a photographer is one way to get this done, especially if it's a large party with hundreds of guests. Another option is to rent a photo booth to add fun to any party and capture memories at the same time.

  • Decor
    Picking the right decor for an event space should also be part of your event planning, as it goes a long way to making a party come alive. Whether it’s a birthday party, corporate event, graduation party, retirement party, or just a casual get-together event, why not decide on a fun theme that everyone will enjoy?

  • Catering
    Of course, what’s a good party without great food and drinks? Many event spaces offer services like a bar setup and food options. If catering is not an option, it’s a good idea to see what local Philadelphia restaurants are in the vicinity of the party venue and consider having food delivered. Try out the city's iconic food, such as Philly cheesesteaks and soft pretzels.

Pros and Cons of Parties in Philadelphia

Just like any other city, Philadelphia has its pros and cons when it comes to planning parties, finding event venues, and more. Consider these as you work through the details.

Advantages

  • The City of Brotherly Love is friendly
    Many people have attested to the friendliness and welcoming attitude of Philadelphians, making it easier to interact with and ask for help from vendors and other people when organizing a party.

  • The city is full of history
    If you're interested in hosting a party somewhere with a heavy historical background, then Philly is your place. There are plenty of historical places to explore once you're done partying—or you can even add sightseeing as an activity to your party!

  • Philadelphia is a cultural hub
    From food walking tours to seeing the city's most iconic public artworks, there are plenty of things to do in Philly to immerse yourself in its culture.

  • Easy access to all sorts of event venues
    Not only does Philadelphia have an eclectic range of event spaces to choose from, but many of them are easily walkable or accessible by bike or car, so your guests won't face difficulties getting to your party.

  • Robust public transportation
    Philadelphia's city center is compact, making the attractions and venues accessible on foot. For those who prefer riding transportation, many cabs and buses are roaming around.

Disadvantages

  • Snow in the winter can hamper a party
    Philadelphia experiences mild winters, but the cold and the snow can make it harder for guests to travel around or even enjoy a party.

  • High cost of living
    Although housing costs are cheaper in Philadelphia, food and utilities are 10% pricier than the national average.

  • The sheer amount of rain
    Philly sees more rain than many cities in the United States—it even rains in the summer. The wet weather can dampen the overall enjoyment of guests at a party and can make it more challenging to plan an outdoor event.

  • Driving is difficult
    As a major city, expect that the roads in Philadelphia can get congested often. Drivers in the city are also aggressive, so you need to be calm and cautious when getting in and around the city via car.

  • Parking can be tough
    People flock to the city center because of its attractions, making it hard to find a parking spot. If you're planning a party, make sure you choose a venue with enough parking for your guests.

Famous Locations in Philadelphia

  • Liberty Bell Center
    The famous cracked bell was once situated in the now-demolished Liberty Bell Pavilion, but it has been replaced by what is now a park and museum known as Liberty Bell Center. Here, you can learn about the creation of the national historic landmark along with other historical facts from the period. You can find it near the Pennsylvania Convention Center, which is one of the best event spaces in Philly for business meetings or networking events.

  • Independence Hall
    As the singular spot where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed, Independence Hall is rightly considered “the birthplace of America.” Established in 1753, it offers guided tours with explanations of the history behind the building as well as the historic signings that took place there.

  • Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Rocky Steps
    Perhaps more famous for those stairs from the 1979 classic film, Rocky, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a place that attracts tourists who are both fans of art and of the film. The stairs alone are a great draw, but the museum itself features some amazing and inspiring art exhibits that anyone visiting Philly should check out at least once. If you're fond of fine arts, you can also visit Franklin Music Hall or The Franklin Institute, which stands near the Rocky Steps.
