down town club
With tall windows that directly overlook Independence Hall and command sweeping views of Old City and the Delaware River beyond, the Down Town Club makes an unforgettable impression on every guest. An effect even further enhanced by the inlaid marble floors, hand-carved moldings, rich mahogany paneling, and other features of the Club’s Georgian Revival elegance. This rich blend of American history, subdued luxury, and Cescaphe’s singular flair all seamlessly combine to create an unforgettable wedding in the classic tradition.
ceremony
The Down Town Club welcomes guests to your ceremony with a breathtaking view overlooking Independence National Historical Park. The stage is set with romantic draping to create a clean, classic background for all of the ceremony’s special moments. Rich color, texture, and history entertain guests as they await the bride or groom’s graceful entrance. Photographers appreciate the modern and elegant details in every shot.
When you opt to host your ceremony at Down Town Club, we will add an additional half hour to your six hour affair.
cocktails
Down Town Club weddings feature Cescaphe’s signature cocktail hour-and-a-half. The venue features two separate cocktail spaces: The Foyer and the Main Cocktail Room. The Foyer serves as both the entryway to the Down Town Club and your first cocktail hour space—with a champagne welcome for your guests, and heirloom tables to display photos and place cards.
The Main Cocktail Room overlooks Independence Hall from floor-to-ceiling windows. It is furnished with high and low tables topped with votive candles, lucite chiavari chairs, and an elegant baby grand player piano. The Room also features two chef-attended action stations, a customizable ice sculpture, famous raw bar, and full service bar.
reception
Down Town Club receptions are hosted in the Grand Ballroom. With original brass chandeliers updated with sheer organza drum shades, towering ceilings, and elegant draperies, guests are surrounded by elegance as they survey panoramic views of the city in a time-honored venue that radiates the richness and history of a space nearly a century old.
