Ballroom At the Ben

Ballroom at the Ben is right in the heart of Philly and like I always say, you will never go wrong with a Finley Catering venue. Ballroom at the Ben is their more "middle" sized venue so you can fit 175-200 comfortably. Its a great layout with the cocktail balcony overlooking the ballroom floor. Everything all in one location and its an amazing view from every angle of this place. Ott is a machine. He will keep the party moving along without you even knowing about it. You can bank on a successful wedding with Finley Catering at the Ballroom at the Ben.

Worked With Ott for a clients Wedding. Love the Space and how they utilize it. We had the ceremony in the same hall as the reception. Hors D'oeuvre were great and served hot. Bartender was great and respectful. Staff was also kind. It philly so as a vendor i cant really complain about street load in and the distance but be ready for a workout lol I was the dj (obviously) and the stage space was bug enough to handle my sound equipment. Im sure i could have added more if it was needed.

Down to greet and direct you. Parking lot directly across the street from the venue. Upstairs they had 2 bars and lots of tables to accommodate small plate dining from various foods bars. The balcony I'm the main dining hall which was meticulously decorated. Gorgeous stairways leaving to main hall perfect for photos. Hard-working wait staff, additional bars in main hall. Ample restrooms. Little disappointed no coat check - where's a man man to set his brim? Wonderful place for a wedding reception!

My husband and I got married at Ballroom at the Ben on 1/28/23 and the entire event was SO well thought out and the process was seamless. From the start, Emily H. was responsive and so helpful in thinking through things that may need to be done/providing advice in situations where we were torn between more than one idea. She was so nice and made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of before the wedding day. Ott was also SO on top of things!! He ran our rehearsal and was able to corral all of our bridal party together to make sure everyone understood their places and when to walk on the day-of the wedding. You could tell he is very experienced in running events and I felt we were in safe, trusted hands the entire time. On the day-of the wedding, he was in contact with our florist, wedding planner, photographer, and everyone in between to make sure things were running smoothly. He greeted us and our parents and made them feel comfortable in the bridal suite when we were all waiting to go down the aisle. Throughout the reception he was attentive to our guests and (if anything did go wrong) we had no idea!! The entire event ran smoothly, and the food was absolutely amazing! Everyone commented on the venue, food, and of course, our french bulldog ice sculpture in honor of our little frenchie. We received many compliments about how unique certain things were (chocolate shots in the dessert room and our first dance on the dancefloor while everyone overlooked from the balcony) This was an absolutely amazing wedding and I'm so glad I chose Ballroom at the Ben to host it. Thank you all for everything!!
