My sister got married at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia this year and it was seriously so much fun! The separate spaces for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing made it really unique and a great experience for all of our guests. While my aunts and uncles needed a break from dancing, they could go into the reading room and relax with a cocktail in hand. The food provided by Jeffrey A. Miller Hospitality Group was INCREDIBLE!!! They offered so much. Between the hanging pretzels and guacamole bar and oysters, to dinner service of delicious choices, to dessert including beignets and cannolis, we were stuffed by the end! And to top it all off we my sister was able to host her after party just downstairs in their speakeasy lounge. I would highly suggest anyone getting married to look at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia for their wedding!
