I fell in love with The Liberty View when I attended a meeting and stood outside on the terrace at night in 2016. It was the one and only venue we considered for our wedding. Britni, the head sales/event director, has been with TLV for 10 years and is truly a legend and expert in her field.
The TLV team was responsive, kind, and caring throughout the entire planning process. We ambitiously planned for an all-outdoor wedding in mid-May, which posed challenges due to unpredictable weather and the significant effort required from the venue and catering team. Britni and our coordinator, Colleen, went above and beyond to make it happen. They provided various floor plans, scheduled week-of wedding calls, and even accommodated my last-minute request for space heaters just 24 hours before the event.
Though they typically only do this for small weddings, a model developed during COVID, having dinner and dancing outside made a world of difference. Despite the uncertainty, the rain held off, and the sun came out just in time for our cocktail hour, creating a perfect moment.
I know this required a tremendous amount of work from the TLV team, and I am incredibly grateful for their dedication and professionalism. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, thanks to their efforts.

Liberty View was a great wedding venue. The events director, Britni, managed everything on the days leading up to the wedding perfectly and she was extremely professional. She always answered my emails with questions quickly, even when my wedding was months away. Colleen was also great to work with and she made sure we knew the schedule of events. Liberty View is a beautiful venue and the reception space is great. My wedding was ~150 people and the space was actually the perfect size. It rained the day of the wedding so we had a tent on the smaller square terrace. They flipped the ceremony to a cocktail space very quickly. If you do get a tent, don’t forget to get lighting or make sure the tent company’s tent doesn’t cover the permanent lights on the terrace. The venue has an exclusive agreement with Brûlée Catering for food and drink.
I cannot recommend Brûlée enough as your wedding caterer. They were extremely professional and I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. The food was amazing and I got so many comments from guests that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. They also had a bridal attendant, Tracey, who was there to meet all the needs of my husband and me on the day of the wedding. Tracey made sure we were fed and always had a drink in our hands.

This venue is a hidden gem. I was about to select a venue, but it didn't feel right so I did additional research and came across this venue. We were in love with the outdoor space for our ceremony, and the indoor space was perfect for the reception. My guests loved the venue as well. You're required to utilize their cater, Brulee. The food was exceptional. All of my guests loved the food, including the cake. I would highly recommend this venue.

I can't say enough good things about my wedding experience at The Liberty View. I had my ceremony and reception at the venue and still cannot believe how well it went. Guests were so impressed by the views of independence hall and old city during the ceremony on the terrace. Joy and Britni, the venue coordinators, were AMAZING! They were so organized and even set up all of my decor and flowers, which looked amazing. I was very unsure as to whether I needed a day of coordinator and definitely did not. Bianca and the Brûlée catering team were also awesome- the food was excellent and a very good value! Communication with Bianca, Joy and Britni was very easy too. Highly recommend this venue!

Our wedding was in September 2022 and it was an absolutely perfect night. Britni, Bianca, and Joy were all amazing and so knowledgeable. They were able to help with any questions or requests I had. All of my guests raved about the food and the venue saying it was one of the best venues they had been too. I would recommend this venue they were great!

The Liberty View was the perfect venue for my daughter and her husband's August wedding. Having an outdoor ceremony was important, and the new wrap-around balcony provided an incredible space with a great view for the ceremony, as well as another space for guests to hang out throughout the night. This perfect night was all thanks to the hard work of Britni and her staff. She anticipated all of our needs and coordinated with all of our other vendors to create a flawless evening. I cannot praise Britni and The Liberty View enough.

My husband and I knew the minute we sat down with Britni from Liberty View, we were in the most capable hands! Her and the team at Bruleé were so accommodating and helpful. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a very memorable and enjoyable location for their wedding!

Liberty View is the best! Recently renovated and even more stunning outdoor space added, this venue was perfect for our ceremony spot! Even though rain kept us inside, the view was still amazing due to the huge windows that line the back side of the venue! It was the perfect backdrop and our guests were able to get outside before and after the ceremony to take pictures on the beautiful terrace decorated with flower walls when the rain slowed down. We also got great family photos from the new outdoor side terrace with the Independence Mall and Independence Hall behind us! You will not find a more competent and genuinely wonderful person to work with than Britni! SHE IS LITERALLY THE BEST! She felt like family after all of the email and phone correspondences and meetings we had (per my request), and all that she did on the day of the wedding went above and beyond and means more to me than I could ever describe. My one regret is not having our entire wedding there (we had our reception elsewhere), but it was more about having to hire Brulee Catering than anything pertaining to the Liberty View itself. You will not regret booking this space for your wedding! I'm trying to find other reasons to rent this space again soon and enjoy the outdoor terrace!

Once I had selected our reception venue, I was unsure of where to have our ceremony within Old City. I happened to stumble upon Liberty View on The Knot, and I am so grateful I did! Britni was so incredible to work with, and made wedding planning so simple! I am not good at being a visionary, but the balcony is truly a blank slate and Britni will work with you to create exactly what you want. We wanted a simple ceremony with a breathtaking backdrop, and that is exactly what we got! As guests arrived, they were greeted with a glass of champagne and able to mingle around a gorgeous backdrop. I cannot thank Brûlée and Britni enough for making our wedding ceremony we will never forget!!

I cannot say enough good things about The Liberty View, Britni, and her staff! Britni thought of things before I did - even down to getting frosted glass put in to hide some construction outside. The venue was the perfect size for our 110-person wedding and the view from the balcony was amazing. Plus, the exclusive caterer - Brulee Catering - was great, too! No complaints at all! I highly recommend this venue for a city wedding!

My fiance and I are so excited to have booked the Liberty View for our wedding! This is a perfect venue for a couple wanting to have a truly "Philly" wedding, but at a reasonable cost. We are also thrilled, as huge Philly foodies, to have Brulee as our caterer. We met with Britni and Cynthia and within minutes knew this was the venue for us!

What a beautiful place to get married! The location was gorgeous! Our Coordinator (Britni) was absolutely amazing--any questions we had, she answered quickly! She also thought of things I hadn't, and saved me from a lot of wedding day stress. Thank you for a beautiful day!

The LVB was perfect in every way. The staff was attentive through the planning process and spectacular on the day of. We got married on the terrece over looking Independence Hall and then the space was seamlessly transformed for our cocktail hour and into our reception. There wasn't a single detail over looked. My husband and I recieved countless compliments on the venue from our guests. I'm hoping a friend will use it too so that we can attend a wedding there again.
