The Barnes Foundation wedding event space swiftly established itself as one of Philadelphia's most popular wedding locations. Several hundred people can attend a grand, gala-sized wedding at The Barnes Foundation, or a few dozen people might get married in a more private setting. One important query is if visitors have access to the amazing gallery of art. Yes, guests are welcome to use the gallery during cocktail hour as long as they leave their hors d'oeuvres and drinks at the door. The Barnes Foundation was established by Dr. Albert C. Barnes, and its goal is to "promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of fine arts and horticulture," as seen by its collection of unique works of art and rare plants, including cedar and Japanese maples. The world's largest private art collection is now housed there. The Barnes Foundation moved to a large new structure along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, minutes from Center City, Philadelphia, in 2012 after being originally planned and built in Merion, Pennsylvania. For those looking for an unmatched fusion of exquisite art, history, and floriculture, the 12,000-square-foot area, which matches the Merion location, is the perfect setting. The Barnes Foundation offers a choice of indoor and outdoor locations ideal for intimate and lavish weddings. Any couple wishing to add an artistic flair to their big day will find satisfaction at the Barnes because entry to each exhibit is also included when arranging your wedding there. The event rooms are located in one of America's most recognizable cities and may be altered to accommodate a wide range of tastes.
