Reviews

Everything about our wedding and the time leading up to it was amazing because of the Graces staff and Kimmel Center! The venue is beautiful and airy. The balcony overlooking Broad Street is such an amazing touch for cocktail hour. As for Darcy and all the Garces staff, we absolutely can't say enough. Darcy was so spectacular throughout the entire planning process. She was on top of everything, had wonderful recommendations and really collaborated with us to make it the most magical night. On the wedding day, all of the staff was super attentive to us and our guests. They did not miss a beat and everything was executed to perfection. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and service.

We had a perfect experience at The Kimmel Center. Working with Darcy was an absolute pleasure, she was incredibly helpful and responsive. The food was phenomenal, I have lived in Philadelphia for many years so I was THRILLED to be able to have Garces food at my wedding! The weather was nice, so we were able to have our cocktail hour bar outside on the Broad street balcony, and the staff was terrific. I absolutely recommend this venue!

We recently had a perfect wedding at the Kimmel Center. We are Philadelphians and truly wanted an experience that reflected who we are as a couple. We love Philadelphia art, culture and food and the Kimmel Center and Garces Catering delivered on all aspects. I'm still receiving feedback from guests about how wonderful the venue, food and service was, event comments like best wedding ever! Garces Catering and Darcy were fantastic to work with. Guided us through the process and made it and easy and pleasurable experience. We highly recommend the Kimmel Center and Garces for any wedding celebration.
