2023 Best Wedding: Destination Wedding Without Leaving Philly

Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia

If you’re saying “I do” here, there’s no reason to have your surrounding festivities anywhere else. After all, the sky-high hotel is a trip in its own right. Director of catering Robin Ewing will help you custom-create an itinerary, from a welcome reception on the main ballroom’s outdoor terrace to a post-wedding brunch at Vernick Fish.

And the 230-person-capacity Great Room has a built-in LED wall and sound system, to immerse your guests in a damn good time. Read More »
