    Hi local brides! I am planning super early due to the fact that I am planning on a memorial day weekend wedding. I am looking for any information on Olde City venues and the atrium at the curtis center specifically. Any info would be helpful especially if anyone has met with these vendors recently. I'm starting to wonder how far out the curtis center has been booked so I can figure out if I should get on the ball asap. Any info on pricing, what they include, or when they are booked up to would be awesome!!! THANK YOU!!!

    I think they had a 200 person minimum... cescaphe does the catering and OMG you will not find better wedding service in philly! my sister go married at cescaphe so I didn't want to copy her but I was so tempted!

    I have also heard that Cescaphe food is amazing.  Several people told me it was like the best food they had ever had at a wedding.

    @tulip...IT IS!! I am telling you guests at my sister's wedding couldn't believe it. They thought cocktail hour was dinner...the spread was amazing and dinner was delicious-vocka logue,chocolate fountian, breakfast served at the end of the night! My wedding is going to suck compared to hers. lololol

     

    I've also heard that cescaphe is booked two years in advance these days, but not sure how true that is.

    Thank you soooo much for the info! Now I don't feel so crazy for looking at it a little over two years in advance. 200 minimum? I definitely have the guest list for it but was hoping to get it down to 175. Any ideas on the pricing? I heard starting at $150/person. I just don't want to even get my hopes up if it is way too crazy and I already think I'm gonna LOVE it! I work in the restaurant business so food is VERY critical for me. Thanks again!

    I would call and ask. When my sister got married it was like $120 per plate and that was in 2005 when they first opened and didnt have all the stuff/reputation they have now...I don't think you get all that stuff included like it was then.

    THank you... getting in touch with them is a bit rough. I've heard that you have to just keep bugging them until you get them. I appreciate all the information.... Best of luck in your planning!!
