The Curtis Atrium
Venue Information
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

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.

“We could not have hired a better photographer for our wedding than Ralph. We have countless photos that we can use in our home and are thrilled to look back on to remember our wedding day. The day moves so quickly but Ralph did an incredible job capturing the moments throughout the day so we can re-live the emotions, setting, and all the love that filled the occasion. Ralph’s process of getting to know my wife and I through the planning meetings and engagement session was more detailed and fun than expected. He wanted to get to know us. The level of effort that Ralph pours into his work mirrored the level of effort that we felt we were putting into the wedding day as a whole, which we were thrilled with. The post-wedding meeting is a great experience as well as Ralph allowed us to walk back through the day and choose the layout for our wedding album in-person in a theater-like setting. Working with Ralph to capture the irreplaceable moments on the most important day in our lives was the best choice we could have made!”
