Fleisher Art Memorial — Local services in Philadelphia

We hosted our wedding here and cannot say enough good things about Fleisher as an event space. The staff, especially the event coordinator Ana, were easy to work with, flexible when we had changes or requests, and responsive to questions. Staff were also incredibly helpful with load in and load out of our DIY wedding, a huge help when faced with the daunting pile of things we had to move in and out.

The event spaces are also beautiful and unique compared to anything else we considered. We had our ceremony in Palumbo Park right next door with chairs provided by Fleisher. Our cocktail hour took place in the art galleries, which still had art in them from a recent exhibition, a cool touch for our guests to explore. And the sanctuary truly felt magic when we walked into the decorated room full of our favorite people. We had never been to a wedding venue like this, and we likely won’t again.

Beyond our event-specific experiences, we also appreciated that Fleisher is a community institution helping make art more accessible. I even took a drawing class at Fleisher during the wedding planning process. Truly a hidden gem in the city of...

The space itself is unique and different than almost any other wedding venue. The sanctuary space is gorgeous and having access to the art gallery immediately adjacent is quite special. For an event with ~80 people, there was plenty of room. Our guests really loved the atmosphere at Fleisher. Unfortunately, coordinating with Fleisher had its ups and downs. The biggest challenge was scheduling and the timeline for the evening. There are constraints as to when vendors and guests are allowed to enter the building when classes are in session, so just make sure to hammer out those details in your very first meeting so that you don't get blindsided by them later. Overall, it is an amazing space and we definitely recommend but make sure that you are organized and on the ball for the nitty-gritty details...

The building was unexpectedly amazing, the sanctuary part took me by complete surprise. Wow. The art memorial has a lovely array of classes for kids and adults, and they even have a color darkroom!!! These guys are angels in my book just for that. Their exhibitions are very good, I plan to submit my art for their consideration one day. They have events that are most unexpected. I went there for the book talk by a Russian murder mystery writer. The attendance could have been better were the event advertised better. But that's neither here nor there. I love...
