The options range from all-white blank canvas venues to spaces filled with exposed brick and raw wood beams.
As a historic city of makers and industrial factories, Philly is flush when it comes to cool industrial wedding venues. Some are light, bright and airy, some are heavy on exposed brick and old machinery, but all are customizable: add hanging florals and string lights for a dreamy fairytale look, or amp up the steel accents to emphasize a modern twist. Here are 19 of our favorite Philly-area industrial wedding venues to make your own.

With 15-foot ceilings and all-white walls, this industrial venue is perfect for the couple searching for a blank canvas for their Big Day. Owners Jen Blauvelt and Nicole Poulin have also worked as art buyers and producers, so they’ve planned their conjoining spaces with the necessary fixtures (nine-foot windows, easy load-in from the adjoining parking lot) to make your celebration both seamless to pull off and completely photo-worthy. Total capacity for the two spaces is 425; the east studio can hold 250, while the west fits up to 175. We’ve got a full set of photos for you to browse here. 990 Spring Garden Street, suite 103, Callowhill.
Maximalist Studios

The culmination of the many past lives of Eddie Ross, a culinary-school grad turned design, decorating and food editor, and partner Jaithan Kochar, Maximalist elevates every aspect of an event with thoughtful detail. Guests are first ferried to the second-floor venue via a freight elevator meticulously styled to match the specs of your soiree. Cocktail hour is in the salon, where they’ll cozy up in lounge areas created with pieces from longtime antiquer Ross’s personal collection. The real magic, though, happens in the white-walled main space, where Ross can take something sentimental—like, say your grandmother’s china—and incorporate it into a head table layered with texture, color, and his own inventory, then work with rental companies to extend the look to the rest of the room. Take a tour of the space—and get a peek at Ross’s design work—here. 501 West Washington Street, number 3, Norristown.
Front & Palmer

A longtime favorite of Philly’s industrial wedding venues scene, Front & Palmer was created by merging together a pickle factory and barrel factory. The first floor houses the on-site kitchen, with catering provided by Feast Your Eyes, while upstairs is a converted loft that serves as the main event space, coupled with a smaller lounge area that could be used for a cocktail reception. Steel rafters criss-cross the 34-feet ceiling, providing the perfect space to hang customized light options (like fairy lights or lanterns). The venue can accommodate 250 seated guests and over 325 standing guests and offers negotiable event end times. Saturday evening receptions during high season start at $154 per person. 1750 North Front Street, Fishtown.
Globe Dye Works

The 150-year-old yarn dying plant that houses several artist and small business studios in Northeast Philly opened its ground floor for weddings in early 2019. The factory aspects of the space have very much been left in tact. Inside you’ll find exposed pipes, concrete floors, important-looking machinery … if it’s industrial-chic you’re going for, it doesn’t get much more industrial than this. Maximum capacity is 220 for a seated dinner, and 350 for a cocktail-style reception; the pre-existing stage is large enough to hold a ten-piece band, and there’s a built-in dance floor. For more details and photos, click here. 4500 Worth Street, Northeast Philly.

Fun fact: this Cescaphe wedding venue stood in for a Philly bar in an early episode of How to Get Away With Murder. Philly couples love it for its NoLibs location, sleek and contemporary New York City loft style, and, of course, that signature 90-minute Cescaphe cocktail hour. The modern interiors are adorned with glass, stainless steel, reclaimed wood, and exposed brick walls and beamed ceilings; capacity is 150 for a seated dinner and 240 for a cocktail-style affair. 969 North 2nd Street, Northern Liberties.
23rd Street Armory

This castle-like fortress is steeped in historical significance. Built in 1901, 23rd Street Armory was home to the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, and it’s available to host your wedding. Two main room are available to rent, either individually or collectively, and renting either also gives you access to the museum and officers quarters. The larger of the two spaces, the Drill Hall Floor, is 14,000 square feet and features a sloped ceiling and a multitude of windows that enhance the already spacious atmosphere of the venue, making it the perfect location for both a storybook ceremony and a lively dance floor showdown. Meanwhile, the smaller of the two, the Third Floor Ballroom, is perfect for a more intimate experience, and it accommodates 175 to 200 seated guests. For the history buffs, the venue also hosts a variety of historical exhibitions, so a walk to the bathroom could mean passing by a collection of Colonial artifacts. 22 South 23rd Street, Center City.
Bok

Before Scout transformed the building, Bok was a vocational high school. Now, the building houses close to 150 different businesses, as well as five industrial wedding spaces for rent: The Workshop, The West Gym, The Auditorium, The Terraces, and The Rooftop. True to their names, each space reflects its former purpose, which makes Bok a one-of-a-kind location, offering features such as a customizable archive wall in The Workshop and a classic auditorium—complete with stage and built-in auditorium-style seating—for your ceremony. Regardless of which space you choose for your reception, you have the option to add on a rooftop package for stunning Center City views. Maximum occupancy is 350. 1901 South 9th Street, East Passyunk.
La Peg

This restaurant/theater hybrid not only has it all; it has it all in one spot: an elevated stage for the band, a wraparound bar conveniently situated between where you’ll dance and where you’ll eat, expansive views of the Ben Franklin Bridge, and a beer garden decked out with picnic tables and games like cornhole and ladder golf. The building was originally used as a water-pumping station at the turn of the century, so all that old brick, salvaged doors, and the giant second-story tank — you know, industrial chic — are as authentic as it gets. 140 North Columbus Boulevard, Old City.
New Liberty Distillery

The former Peche space is now under the direction of seasoned Philly event company Brûlée Catering, and with the change in management come a few much-needed updates (roof repairs, a fresh coat of paint, and new bar and room-divider options). What didn’t change is the sprawling, purposefully minimalist warehouse-style setting. With concrete floors, large-scale wrought-iron windows and endless layout options for up to 750 guests, this versatile space can take on whatever party vibe you’d like. 3502 Scotts Lane, East Falls.

There is a certain poetic beauty in starting the new chapter of your life in an old train station. Platform Thirty, a renovated Manayunk train station with a sort of vintage yet modern-chic vibe, offers you the chance to do just that. Its 1930s exterior is still intact, as is the outdoor train platform, except now the station is filled with a big dance floor and a statement bar, making it a pretty great party destination. The cost for peak Saturday evenings is $150 per person. 4401 Cresson Street, Manayunk.
Power Plant Productions

Don’t let the name mislead you: Power Plant Productions was a former factory space, but now the venue is a perfect location for a daytime ceremony. The all-white interior and 34-feet of industrial window grant the space a bright, airy atmosphere, while the exposed brick and steel beams retain the industrial ambience that makes this venue the perfect blend of urban and pastoral. The studio is over 4,000 square feet and may accommodate up to 130 seated guests and 165 guests for a cocktail-style reception. There is a commercial-style kitchen on site and a valet parking garage right across the street. As a bonus, it’s within walking distance to a number of hotels and picturesque photo destinations, like Race Street Pier. 230 North 2nd Street, Old City.
The Fillmore

In the main performance space, you’ll say your “I do’s” onstage under professional theater lights, then sit to dine with up to 390 guests. (Make use of the space’s four large bars, including one located on the mezzanine, to keep everyone mingling at the party.) Hoping for something a little more intimate? Book the Foundry, a handsome upstairs lounge complete with curtained-off VIP couches, for a smaller reception of 96 guests. Either way, they’ll flash your names on the outdoor marquee. 29 East Allen Street, Fishtown.
