Philly Magic Gardens

Another unique Philadelphia venue for your engagement party, wedding, anniversary or any other event that warrants a colorful, festive showcase for great photographs is Philly Magic Gardens. Stairways, walls, mirrors, narrow walkways become fantastic backdrops for your happiness. Begun in the 1960's on South Street to beautify the local neighborhood, the garden, the artistic mosaic work of Isaiah Zagar , is an international destination. You have to see the garden to believe it...and love it!

The States Drive/Belmont Avenue section of Fairmount Park offers one great wedding venue after the next! After volunteering today as a Bicentennial Garden Tender, I ate a great breakfast (for lunch) at the Centennial Cafe at the Ohio House, an original state building from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. The cafe is open from 9 AM-3 PM. Afternoons and evenings, it's open for events from bridal showers to engagement parties to Bar/Bat Mitzvot to weddings.
Besides being lovely and so close to the Botanic Gardens for great photos, all the catering is done by Main Line's renowned Bryce's Catering. Host up to 200 guests in the stunning outdoor tent! Definitely unique, romantic and historic!
