  • 1 Historic Space
  • 1 Meeting Space

  The 23rd Street Armory is the historic home of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, an active Pennsylvania National Guard cavalry unit founded in 1774 and headquartered in the building since 1900. Situated on 23rd Street between Market and Chestnut, within walking distance of 30th Street Station, the armory pairs its working military history with event space for weddings, corporate gatherings, markets, trade shows, and galas. The Ring is the armory's signature space: a versatile, clear-span floor of more than 13,000 square feet that once housed the Troop's mounted horses before the building was mechanized during World War II. It transforms readily from an elegant reception with video walls and butlered hors d'oeuvres to a more relaxed gathering with lounge furniture and food trucks, and includes the adjoining Officers Quarters, a formal entrance and library often used as a green room or check-in area. Upstairs, the recently renovated Dining Room and Museum offers a more intimate setting of about 3,500 square feet, with wainscoting, gilded antique paintings, crystal chandeliers, and the First City Troop's own historical collection one floor below. For larger events, the Ring and the Dining Room and Museum can be booked together, with the Ring doubling as private indoor parking for roughly 60 cars. Events at the armory work with the venue's in-house preferred caterers and, for production needs, its partner Eventions Productions for lighting, sound, and audio visual support.

  Sister Cities Park

  210 N 18th St, Philadelphia, PA 19103, USA

  • Spaces for 400 Guests

  Sister Cities Park sits at the midpoint of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, between City Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, on a site that traces back to William Penn's 1682 plan for the city's public squares. Originally dedicated in 1976 to honor Philadelphia's Sister Cities program, the roughly 1.3-acre park was transformed in a 2012 renovation led by Center City District, turning a barren plaza into one of the nation's leading multigenerational parks. The park's centerpiece is a bluestone fountain shaped as an abstracted globe with Philadelphia at its center, its eleven geyser-like water spouts positioned to reflect the actual geographic distance to each of the city's Sister Cities. Alongside it, the Children's Discovery Garden offers a nature-inspired play space with winding pathways, a climbing net, push-button water jets, and a stream dam, while a shallow wading pond operates from late April through October and converts to the Imagination Playground in the cooler months. A 6,000-square-foot pollinator garden with more than 4,000 native plants borders the space, and Robert Indiana's AMOR sculpture, installed in 2016, anchors the park's public art. Sister Cities Café, built with structural glass walls and a green roof, offers indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the garden and parkway. The park lends itself to everything from children's birthday parties to wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, and corporate gatherings, with Center City District's events team coordinating brand activations, corporate functions, and private celebrations on-site.

  • Spaces for 75 Guests
  • 1 Event Space
  • 1 Historic Space

  The 1756 Uwchlan Meeting House is a fieldstone building in Lionville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, built by the area's Quaker community after John and Sarah Cadwalader donated the land in 1716. The stone structure that stands today replaced an earlier log meeting house, and it has witnessed more than two centuries of local history — including service as a makeshift hospital under Dr. Bono Otto during the Revolutionary War, when soldiers who died there were laid to rest in the adjacent burial ground. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After the original Quaker congregation relocated to Downingtown in 1900, the meeting house took on new roles over the decades as a library and a school before the Woman's Community Club began restoring it in 1963. It has been owned and preserved by the Uwchlan Conservation Trust since 1976. Today the Meeting House is available to rent for meetings, weddings, family parties, memorial services, and other functions for up to seventy-five people, offering a small, historic setting with roots in the community dating back to the colonial era.
