I was told the space could comfortably accommodate 60 seated guests (or 80 guests for a cocktail reception). The wall mounted tv monitors are available to display your portraits to personalize the space and the sound system can be attached to a HDMI cord, a laptop, an iPhone or iPad to play your music. The beautiful wooden bar is on wheels so you can move it where you want it. The venue rental includes tables and chairs for your guests, 2 food tables and a sweets table and they offer a 6ft rectangle, 48" round, hightop cocktail, and bistro tables and chiavari chairs for rental.... The bathrooms are as beautiful as the public space . The customer service was EXCEPTIONAL. When I asked to use the ladies room, one of the owners stopped what she was doing and walked me to the bathrooms. This lovely lady beamed when I complimented her on the space then excitedly showed me her childhood photo on display in one of the bathrooms. As if it couldn't get any better it did when the owner lovingly showed me the gorgeous garden courtyard available to guests (weather permitting) I LOVED THIS SPACE

You can people watch while having a cocktail, which was probably the most fun part. I even waved at a few tour buses going by. Space: they have a flower wall, and the space outside especially is immaculate. There are tons of places to take beautiful pictures that are instagram worthy. Service: The bartenders, Brian and Walter, were amazing. They were so friendly and quick to help - even with lending me a pen so I could write in the card I had just bought for the couple! The drinks were amazing as well (loved the tequila sunrises). The manager, Kenya, was FANTASTIC. You could see how expertly she choreographed the night. At one point during dinner, the staff was clearing the plates for dinner, which is also when the couple started their toasts. Kenya quickly whispered to the staff "not now, not now" so that staff were not walking around while toasts were being given. The dinners for each table were given all at once and the food was delicious as well. All in all, it was an absolutely beautiful space, with even more wonderful service, which is always hard to find with weddings.

The venue: If you're looking for a gorgeous and unique venue space, with an industrial feel and blank canvas to work with, then Power Plant is for you! It has a great Old City location and is truly unlike any other wedding venue we've ever been to. Featuring large floor to ceiling windows, and beautiful white walls, the lighting at this venue can't be beat and there is definitely a cool factor that comes along with the space. The venue easily fit our 115 guests and was the perfect backdrop for our traditional wedding ceremony and cocktail style reception. The team: Chris, Jim, and Brian were extremely easy to work with and made us feel heard, valued, and a part of the Power Plant family. Chris helped manage event details and vendor coordination and made us feel at ease throughout our event reschedules due to Covid. Chris was flexible, offered creative solutions and workarounds, and respected our decisions when we decided to push back our wedding dates. We truly felt that we were all in this together, and it was a really sweet feeling to come out on the other side and have the celebration we dreamed of last month.

But it took the Pabst Blue Ribbon Crafting Challenge that featured PBR inspired crafts, and chili cook off that featured the likes of PYT and Abbaye; and live music from kick ass bands like Levee Drivers and TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb to finally check it out. And while I savored bites of incredible chili and PBR inspired refreshments I was able to get a grasp on more of what 24224 Studios had to offer as a whole. Upon checking out the list of tenants I was able to spot recognizable names like Backseat Conceptions (The crew behind this long lost gem - http://www.yelp.com/biz/941-theater-philadelphia#hrid:nC5nrwoAsIo2BBUNRzy55w/src:self), Village Green Productions (http://www.yelp.com/biz/village-green-productions-philadelphia#hrid:h4l1ubby-5oN9-Nr-JREgQ/src:self), and others who held it down within the arts and music genre taking up residency within it many office spaces. There was also plenty of real estate groups, wellness centers, photographers, IT/Designer services, non-profits, and (say it isn't so!) Five Hour Energy Drink inside. The Skybox where the Crafting Challenge took place is by far the main attraction. It is a wide open and huge open warehouse space that is designed soley to showcase some eclectic events. Aside from the aforementioned craft market and FM Festival, Philebrity has hosted a few special events inside, Bands in the Backyard held its SXSW send off party (and might be moving into an office), and Making Time has hosted at least one of its Halloween freak outs here. And its calendar fills up with plenty of other eclectic occasions.

The space offered a great balance of old world charm with subtle updates. I hear rumors that it used to be an ammunition warehouse but nothing that I could confirm.

I would recommend checking out this space if you are looking for great event space.

I received a free coworking pass to check out their location and although they advertise 24/7…read moreaccess they would not honor my pass for my regular work hours (late afternoon to evening). If a space is truly a coworking space and available for other than a 9-5 schedule then you should allow creatives and those entrepreneurs who do not work a traditional vanilla schedule the same opportunities as those who do. This is discrimination against those who do not adhere to the framework of an office type environment. Isn't the typical office type of environment that which you buck against as a non traditional type of work environment is this just marketing BS? I fullyunderstand that the front desk staff leaves at 5 as do most in other coworking entities and that safety and concern should be used in vetting your patrons. Perhaps there should be staff in the evenings then? Perhaps there should be a camera system in place? Perhaps you should be vetting your guests to ensure nighttime safety if the concern is that your work environment is or can be unsafe without supervision. Either way, it is Kismet that Kismet did not honor my free pass. The preordination, predetermination, what is to come, the writing on the wall, all those kismet-ish signs point to a space NOT meant to be sampled in real time and a space NOT suitable to create in (after 5:00 pm) unless you sign up at which point you won't know if the space is suitable to work in after 5 ( as advertised 24/7) until you have already committed. I would suggest that you change your hours or find a a way to accommodate a base of creatives in Philadelphia who would like to find a workspace to try out that does not adhere to a basic schedule but mostly, just change your hours to match your approach or your approach to match your hours and it won't come off as discriminatory. Update: Thanks for your response but I did not just call to "check" in on your pass. I hope that you are not insinuating that I did not have an actual pass. I own a property where free passes were available to those within our community. It was an actual bookmarked shaped pass with a foldable promotional card and I was genuinely excited to come see the space based on your marketing. When I called it was to verify that this was a real pass for the day. As stated, I understand the hard line take you have on security. This understanding does not make you exempt from honoring your pass or having adequate staffing. You should have the passes reprinted to say " for use between 9-5 only."
