Water Works formerly drew visitors from all over the world, including Charles Dickens, who commended the "pleasing design" of the building for its blend of graceful Neoclassical architecture on the outside with then-revolutionary technology on the inside. Columned walkways, a vintage gazebo, the Art Museum perched dramatically above, and Boathouse Row stretched out along the Schuylkill River just beyond are some of the features that contribute to the Water Works' status as one of the city's most picturesque settings. Today, the Water Works offers lavish interior spaces that are replete with rich contemporary luxury. Adding an outdoor ceremony to your reception is something that should come as no surprise given the famous views, classically exquisite structures, groomed fields, and gardens that are all around you. The Water Works is home to a diverse range of environments, the likes of which are not often found in a single venue. The breathtaking scenery, tasteful architecture, and beautifully manicured grounds make it an obvious decision to hold the ceremony and reception outside.
