Hotels in Philadelphia, PA

National Museum of Jewish History hosts weddings. I’m sure they will have kosher options. I’ve never gone to a wedding there but have gone to weddings in other museums and they were super fun and different than your normal catering hall wedding.

There has to be said something for this in Bala/Ardmore area right

Some BYO Catering spots that come to mind that can host 125: * Fleisher Art Memorial [https://fleisher.org/rentals/](https://fleisher.org/rentals/) * MAAS Building [http://www.maasbuilding.com/spaces](http://www.maasbuilding.com/spaces) * Bahdeehabdu [https://www.bahdeebahdu.com/](https://www.bahdeebahdu.com/) *incredibly beautiful art gallery* As for Kosher Catering, Garces and STARR catering would be able to accommodate. Although I highly recommend to check out [Birchtree Catering](http://birchtreecatering.com/), they are delicious and source locally.

Royal Palace in the Northeast, next to House of Kosher

If you google "Kosher weddings Philadelphia" it'll pull up a list of caterers, and you can see what sites each works with, includin nontraditional ones.

This might be something to consider. https://www.classicalcaterers.com/about-us.php (I don't know if it meets your needs for a non cliché location, but it looks like they can also bring the catering to you if you choose a space)

http://hortevents.com/ the horticultural center is amazing and offers kosher catering. If you’re thinking of a DJ check out https://nomacarena.com/ Or https://www.vinestreetdjs.com/

[The Liberty View](https://www.phlvisitorcenter.com/LibertyView) is catered by Brûlée Catering and they have kosher options. The space is actually across the street from the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the National Museum of American Jewish History and offer beautiful views of Independence Mall and those buildings. I would definitely recommended reaching out and inquiring at least!! The space is perfect for your size and is extremely unique!! They are also hosting a deal if you book before 1/31! edit: they do tables, chairs etc. for the space

My friends were married at Smith Memorial Playground in Fairmont Park. https://smithplayground.org/parties/ Very nontraditional but still a really beautiful venue with lots of history. They had about 125 and were able to swat everyone on the porch out back with dancing inside. BYO caterer.

Lots of good leads here, but I'd just be extra vigilant if you're orthodox. I've never seen so many kashrus authorities represented in one place as I have in Philly, and I think only Momma's Vegetarian is certified by an orthodox agency. I could be wrong, but I know that there's a lot of looser agencies out there.

Su Xing House has some options that use egg (and maybe turkey or chicken?? Idk, but those are on the menu with a tiny picture of a bird next to it). Located at: 1508 Sansom St, Philadelphia, PA 19102 which is very close to city hall. I love the atmosphere there.

Or how about Plough in the Stars? Over in old city, but fabulous food and cozy atmosphere. I haven't been in a while but last time I https://www.facebook.com/1426532680973504 Philadelphia Chef Lenka Zivkovickovic was thrilled to accommodate vegans and there was vegan food on the menu! Edit: I realize this isn't near city hall, but I'll leave it up just in case?

https://www.facebook.com/1584494865106339 Wm. Mulherin's Sons in Fishtown is fancy and omnivores love it. They were able to accommodate me with a few vegan options as well.

Here is the public transit site it will be easy to get to center city or the stadiums b/c the orange/broad st line goes right to them. http://www.septa.org/

http://berniebnb.com/

Try over on the NJ side. The Trenton/Ewing area. There is a small railroad station in West Trenton where you can get the SEPTA into Philly. If you want to fly try Fronteir airlines into Trenton airport which is a mile away from the train station. Here is a link to a hotel right near both of them. http://www.elementewing.com/

This is also next to the airport and train. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ttnet-courtyard-ewing-princeton/

This is also another option. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ttnsh-springhill-suites-ewing-princeton-south/

Travis Johnson def!!!!!! Thank you mair

Ok perfect! Ronald McDonald house is often full. But never know.

Mair McColgan im not really sure. I think they will only be here for a day or two.

Travis send this link to your friend. ..its hotels that offer special rates if you have a child at chop. They are close to the hospital. http://www.chop.edu/visitors/before-your-visit/where-to-stay.html

Thank you so much Mair McColgan. Lorie Heath check out this link if you cant do anything with that me know. I have a couple other options but ill have to look up the names and such.

Probably would have better luck on airbnb. Worth a try

This is a very nice little spot in Center City. Smallish rooms. Priced accordingly. And good luck with your mom. http://www.alexanderinn.com/#rooms_rates

Hey OP, two questions: 1) What hospital? 2) Check in date?

Hotwire is usually a good bet.

club quarters or stay at the airport

Airport hotels are usually a little more reasonable.

Another vote for airbnb

The Holiday Inn Express in Fort Washington is right off the turnpike and right next to the train station, and was around $100/night when I last needed to look into it. Only con is being in Fort Washington.

Found a couple of really great deals on airbnb...thank you all for your help, and for showing me airbnb which is possibly the greatest thing I somehow didn't know about...hooray rural Maryland.

If you really want to be frugal you could do a hostel (Philadelphia House, City House, Apple Hostels).

Try the neshaminy inn in Bensalem

Maybe a place in South Jersey? Right over the bridge? Deptford area? Can always take the train into the city.

A friend of my me found a deal for club quarters near Rittenhouse for $110, I don't know if that's close to their normal rate

What hospital?

Look down by the airport, also look at Priceline.com's Express Deals or Hotwire.com. Both sites have options lower than retail pricing in exchange for you not knowing the hotel you are selecting. For example, you may know you are getting a 3* hotel (think brands like Holiday Inn or Courtyard at that level) in Center City East recommended by 85% of Hotwire travelers and some of the amenities it has, but it would be $110 vs $199 for the same hotel off of Hotwire.

If you're gonna have a car, check hotels outside of center city. If not, doubt you'll find anything for under $125

did you try Club Quarters? I just plugged in May 1 through May 5 for Philly at Kayak.com and they came up with $136 per night.

Priceline.com Trivago.com Tripadvisor.com Deals.com

I wonder why nobody ever thought of a website with reviews to multiple hotels. Maybe you could even search by area...

I just looked at Hotels.com and ... I think you might want to spend a little more, if you can. At that budget, it's a little sketchier.

HotelTonight has a room at Hilton (11 th and Arch) for $154 or the Marriot (12 th and Market) for $155 both are prime center city locations with easy access to public trans. There are plenty of ‘$25 off your first booking’ codes floating around the internet that will bring you in under budget!

Always check out airbnb, too!

Check booking.com or hotels.com

Try www.innatstbotolph.com they have boutique hotels all over the city (4 or 5 I think). Rooms are amazing and price very cheap last year got a rate of 146 per night for 7 nights during a major show and the room was 7 stars not 5.

Eugene Saknovsky is great, offers the best deals and very knowledgeable
