How to Elevate Your Philly Wedding Bash
Set the Scene with a Cool Lounge Vibe
Similar to the intrigue of pop-up beer gardens in Center City, transforming an outdoor space into a unique lounge for your Philadelphia wedding adds some fun to the celebration. It’s a respite and get away from the every day. Think of rental furniture that adds a dramatic effect or even a hammock or two. The dichotomy of a park or rustic wedding venue against classic living room couches and shabby chic hutch to display cocktails and hors d’oeuvres really sets a scene.
Add Buzz with a Personalized Espresso Experience
Elevate traditional coffee service a freshly made cappuccino or latte from an authentic barista. Flavored syrups, chocolate shavings, cinnamon and whipped cream brings the local café right to your reception.
Add Warmth and Whimsy with a Fire Pit
S’mores never gets old. Whether it’s a sense of nostalgia, sweet tooth or the camaraderie of the campfire, the melty gooey goodness keeps guest coming back for more. Just ask your caterer! Make sure there are plenty of napkins to go around!
End on a High Note with a Show-Stopping Sendoff
An unexpected exit like fireworks or choreographed last dance will make those who skipped out early wish they could have stayed to see it.
Roll In a Food Truck for the After-Party Crowd
Let’s face it—after hours on the dance floor, your guests are bound to work up an appetite. Why not surprise them with a nostalgic (and delicious) twist? Think gourmet food trucks rolling in like a childhood ice cream truck—only better. From late-night tacos and sliders to warm donuts, cupcakes, and foodie favorites, these mobile treats are the perfect way to end the night on a high (and tasty) note.
These five creative touches add personality and flair to your Philadelphia wedding reception. They’ll leave your guests talking long after the last dance.
