If I could do everything over again for my wedding, I would still, without a doubt, pick the Fillmore. Having our wedding at such a fun, spacious, and truly unique venue made my husband and me so happy. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how awesome the space was, how it was unlike any venue they’d been to, and how fun all of the visual elements were—we had a slideshow playing on the TVs throughout the night, our photo was on the marquee on the outside so anyone passing by could see it, and the band played on the actual stage, which they were super excited about. We also converted the VW van into a photo booth area and took some unreal photos in front of the LIVE sign in the entryway. We delayed our wedding for 2 years because of COVID. Throughout the entire process, Genevieve and Karen were helpful, responsive, and came up with really creative ideas. They were supportive and listened to us when we had questions, and they stuck it out with us even when things got tricky. (On a separate note, my mom and I are personally obsessed with Genevieve.) On the wedding day itself, many of our guests (we had about 200 people) commented on how they weren’t nervous about COVID because the room was so spacious, the ceilings were so high, etc…which was SUCH a relief since we had a handful of immunocompromised people there who were apprehensive about coming. Bottom line: The Fillmore is SUCH A VIBE, there’s nowhere else like it in Philly, and I’m so glad I got to have my wedding there. Oh, and the staff is excellent and a bunch of pros.

Wonderful venue. Worked with us to get exactly what we wanted, which was a little non-traditional but fit us. We had an open bar and several heavy appetizer stations, a brief ceremony and then dancing. The people at the Fillmore/the foundry were amazing. We had the best time at our wedding!

About this venue

The Fillmore Philadelphia is a spacious music club wedding venue located in Philadelphia, PA. Modeled after The Fillmore in San Francisco, couples can spend their wedding day in an atmosphere that honors some of the great legends of rock. This venue offers multiple event spaces to host your special day, suitable for parties of 50 to 3,000 guests. The Fillmore Philadelphia pays homage to The Fillmore San Francisco, which hosted some of the biggest artists of its time. This venue saw one of its brightest periods during the psychedelic scene of the 1960s and 70s. During this time, legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, and many more graced its stage. The Fillmore Philadelphia opened its doors in 2005 and continues to honor the spirit of historic performances of years gone by. Couples who wed here can make their special day part of this venue’s rich history and soak up the cultural atmosphere of this space. This venue offers a unique aesthetic for a wedding celebration, offering a plethora of one-of-a-kind photo opportunities. One stunning backdrop includes the American flag made from concert photos of bands who have played here. This venue truly is a dream wedding location for any music lover. Enjoy exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and colorful lighting options, blended with rough-cut elegance for your special day. The Fillmore Philadelphia offers three stylish event spaces to host parties of various sizes. The Foundry can host up to 100 of your guests for a seated ceremony surrounded by reminders of great musical legends and shabby-chic decor. Ajax Hall offers a relaxed vibe for a cocktail hour, where up to 300 guests can mix, mingle, and soak in all that this venue has to offer. The crown jewel of this property is undoubtedly the Music Hall, which offers a 2,500-square-foot event space to host a reception to remember. Huge crystal chandeliers hang from the towering ceiling, with a full stage providing the focal point for your celebration. State-of-the-art lighting and sound make this venue perfectly suited to host your wedding entertainment. The ground floor offers the opportunity to choose the seating layout of your choice, while the mezzanine offers a cozy space for guests to rest between dances.
