Looking for a wedding venue that combines historic charm, architectural drama, and a prime city location? Curtis Atrium, located just steps from Independence Hall and Washington Square, offers exactly that. Housed in a century-old landmark building, this elegant space blends vintage sophistication with modern amenities, which is ideal for couples who want their celebration to feel classic, grand, and effortless. 

Architectural Grandeur and Guest Experience Combined 

Curtis Atrium makes a striking impression from the start. Soaring ceilings, a glass skylight, and an art deco terraced waterfall set the tone for a truly memorable event. A grand staircase allows for dramatic entrances, while the flexible layout accommodates up to 300 guests, perfect for both intimate weddings and larger celebrations. The Mezzanine Suite, added in recent renovations, offers a private balcony space ideal for cocktail hour, overlooking the entire atrium below. As evening falls, the space transforms into a warm, glowing ballroom accented by architectural lighting and subtle vintage details. On-site catering by Constellation Culinary Group ensures every plate is as polished as the setting.
