My partner (I mean "my husband") and I looked at 8 possible venues for our wedding in Center City…read morePhiladelphia. Honestly, we could've stopped after the first one! When we walked into PowerPlant Productions in Old City, we knew that this would be the place. It's the coolest space for a party, and no other venue in Center City is anything like it! When visiting other venues, we imagined how we'd decorate to mask the ugly ballroom carpets, bland or dusty-looking walls, and utter lack of personality (even at classic, historical sites). But at PowerPlant, we wanted the gorgeous space to speak for itself, and use a little decor to accentuate its natural appeal. From the gorgeous wide-plank hardwoods, all white brick walls, extraordinarily high ceilings, massive wall of windows, and that huge iconic smokestack! There is no place like it. Not being pro party planners, having access to Chris and Jim (the owners-who got married there) and Tommi (manager) was the lifeline I didn't know we needed. First, they actually own the building which is different than other city venues. If you have questions or requests, you ask Chris and Jim directly. They decide and answer, not a chain of go-between people. Chris has seen countless events at Power Plant and (at our request) shared a menu of ideas and floorplans that were foundational to our once-in-a-lifetime, phenomenal party. She knows what works really well in the space. Chris even helped us pare down a list of vendors to the ones that would be most likely to negotiate and customize an experience in our financial ballpark (including our caterer-our other lifeline-who also got married there). Leading up to the day-of, Jim and Tommi made prep as simple as they could for us. They made sure everything was set how we planned it. Plus, all of the scheduling, dropping off, setting up, picking up afterwards... trust me, as you approach the big day, it's these little things (like access to the space when you need) that catch you off guard and cause tremendous stress. They had our backs. Ultimately, our wedding was unlike any that I've ever attended (and I think most guests would say the same). Everyone commented on the venue. It was the night of our lives. We owe that to the gorgeous space, the venue and catering teams, DJ, and of course the phenomenal grooms and guests too. Haha. Thank you, PowerPlant Productions!

That cosmic intervention finally happened for myself in the form of an invite to lunch by a friend of mine, and I was very excited about finally set my eyes upon the storied club. Following the exciting and quite long elevator ride to the top, I was surprised by how empty it was for lunch, but that only increased the appeal as it felt very exclusive and quiet. Let me start with that the food was good; very good in fact, but nothing special or to write home about. What really makes the place shine is the views, the feeling of exclusivity, and the staff. The staff is the real highlight and plays into every aspect of a great time here. You are treated as an honored guest from the minute you arrive until the minute you leave, and it is amplified if you are someone's guest they really put the effort in to treat everyone with the utmost respect and make the dining and relaxation experience at the price point that I am sure the members are paying for the opportunity. The views of the city are wonderful. Having worked a job that allowed me access to the roofs of nearly every high rise in the city, I have seen every angle and panorama of Philadelphia from up high, but the windowed seat views of the entire city while dining here are unparalleled. It is nothing if not the biggest selling point of the experience. I would love to return to see the view at night, but I don't think I will likely ever have that opportunity. If you have the luck of being invited here or given a chance at membership, check it out. It's one of the most unique places to eat in Market st financial area, and you won't regret it.

An armory is a perfect place for a DIY punk show, so why couldn't one host a flea market? The event was a success. There were plenty of vendors who were selling everything from old vinyl to thrift clothing to homemade artwork and more - all with a punk rock attitude. The venue itself is a-ok. It's obviously an old military armory, complete with a few military artifacts. I'm not sure if it's still used for military purposes, however its website advertises it can be rented out for corporate expos, tradeshows, weddings and other events. There's plenty of space for all these things, though not many bells and whistles. A note - the bathrooms are downstairs.

Very nice. Inside: Beautiful - 2 floors. Don't know if this more of a reflection of the wedding or the venue (or obviously both!) but it had an amazing spread - Italian, American, (but didn't try) Asian fusion with sushi, pot stickers, fried rice, orange chicken. Loved that. For the wedding they had a stage and indoor fireworks- awesome. Afterwards, they had an amazing dessert spread with breakfast options, dessert drinks, and dessert themed alcoholic drinks. Like some other pictures, the place decorates with the iconic Philly LOVE signage throughout. There was a beautiful board for seating arrangements. Finally, they had quick service at the bars.

The Down Town Club is located inside a very large building in Old City and takes up at least one floor. Once you're out of the elevator you are greeted by a giant glass table and a centerpiece. For the wedding, this table was used to hold the place cards, which informed you of the the table you would be seating at. Behind that table is a large hall with a few tables, a bar and some counters, which can be used to plate food and serve horderves. I suppose it could also be used as a simple waiting area. There is also a piano located i that area, which can be used to play some live music. The horderves, which were served were top notch. Some of my favorites included the lamb chops, lobster, shrimp and ravioli. I also loved how they had a full sushi bar along with some other traditional Japanese options including ahi tuna. The dinner and dessert was great as well. The dressing on the salad was very tasty and the filet minion was perfectly done. The dessert options here were out of the world. Mini-cupcakes, cannolis, funnel cake and more were all provided and they were all very delicious. The view of Independence Hall is absolutely spectacular as well. The Ball Room wasn't giant, but it easily held over 200 people without as if the room was, too crowded. The ball room was also quickly transformed from hosting the wedding ceremony towards become a place to hold a fun party. While I didn't use it, valet parking was available, which was a nice touch. Altogether, the Down Town Club is a very nice space to hold a variety of events including weddings!
