My husband and I where recently married at SOFITEL Philadelphia and there ar no words for the experience. From the planning to execution Lisa was amazing. The food was stellar the service impeccable we could not have asked for a better day.

My husband and I got married at Sofitel Philadelphia with an intimate wedding cocktail and reception. We had only two months between our engagement and wedding, and despite the short amount of time we could see several venues in Center City, Philadelphia. Sofitel stood out from others with its spacious wedding venue which was the right size for our small party. We had the cocktail, ceremony and reception all in the same room. Starting from the first day of planning, Michael Mitloff has been very kind, understanding, attentive and professional. He has always greeted us with a big smile at the lobby and managed every detail with such efficiency. He understood our needs and directed us to a great photographer and floral designer. He reserved us a great couple’s suite to get ready on the day of the wedding. Our guests praised the attentiveness of the staff on the wedding day and they even said that they had the best wedding dinner. It was very delicious! We should also mention that Valer...

Everything moved very smoothly throughout the night even though we requested a couple changes in the wedding program at the last minute. Now looking back, we think that our wedding couldn’t been any better and we are so happy that we made the best decision by choosing the Sofitel in Center CIty, Philadelphia.

I can't say enough good things about the Sofitel as a wedding venue. Our guests were so impressed and they really tried to make every aspect of the planning and the day as seamless and easy as possible. The food was delicious, the spaces were gorgeous. And Lisa is the biggest help!

Perfect experience! They handled so much, but let us add our own personal touch. Also, Lisa Deluca, who was our main point of contact, was a true pleasure. Everyone was so responsive to our needs and questions. Also, for the location, the food, and the amenities, the package cost was the best we found. Everyone kept remarking on how fancy and classy the Sofitel was while we were actually well under budget. I really cannot say enough good things about the staff. Service is everything to me and everyone at the Sofitel was great from Lisa & Valerie who handled the event specifics to our personal attendant the day of. Everyone at the Sofitel truly helped make our wedding the best day of our lives!

I honestly think we would have considered eloping if it wasn't for the amazing team at Sofitel. From the first day, we were there, Lisa DeLuca was there to assure us that the Sofitel was the best place to have our event and that she would be in our corner, supporting us every step of the way. She was so supportive, getting to know us as a couple, our story, and how to translate that into an amazing wedding. Moreover, what many other vendors consider an upgrade (like chivari chairs or textured linens) are standard at Sofitel. They also offer creative alternatives to make your day special, like a croquembouche instead of a traditional wedding cake. I honestly can't imagine a couple planning a wedding without someone like Lisa DeLuca and without a vendor like the Sofitel hotel!

What can I say, Sofitel made our wedding day absolutely magical. Lisa DeLuca is the main reason we choose the venue because we knew she would take care of us. Best experience.

We used the Sofitel for our wedding room block. Svetlana assisted us with setting up the room block, and her and her staff made sure we were well taken care of the entire weekend! The staff was really friendly, and the valet parking made parking in the city a breeze. The night of our wedding, we came back to our room and they provided us with a bottle of complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, with a nice note. It was so kind and thoughtful of them. Thank you for a wonderful and pleasant experience! We highly recommend using Sofitel's accommodations if staying in the city!

The Sofitel was exactly what we were looking for. A modern luxurious hotel in the beautiful rittenhouse square section of Philadelphia where we could have our ceremony and reception and have hotel accommodations for our out of town guests. Compared to other venues we researched they factor in the tax and gratuity instead of just offering the per person pricing. It was really helpful when doing comparisons and factoring in all they offer with their packages. We were very impressed with Lisa Deluca who is just one of the nicest people we've ever met and she was with us all the way through planning and guided us on our wedding day. Thanks to Lisa, Tim and I actually ate and danced at our wedding! Then they packaged up additional meals and cake to the complimentary presidential suite where we were met with a bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate covered strawberries. The Sofitel makes wedding planning a breeze as they offer and do so much for you. The hotel block was managed with ease a... Read morend Svetlana would always respond quickly to give an update and they were able to accommodate a request to increase. The food is out of this world good and our guests just raved about it. The wedding cake is included and when I couldn't decide on flavor they said I could choose two and they would alternate the layers. It was the best cake! The hotel and event staff were all just so nice and accommodating and treated us with such class. I was really impressed with the added details that are included such as the chairs and linens for the reception. They made the room look so gorgeous. I was not stressed at all about planning this wedding largely because this venue is so great. I can't say enough thank yous to Lisa, Valerie and the staff at Sofitel. We had the best time.

We had an absolutely amazing time at our wedding at the Sofitel and I would highly recommend that anyone else getting married in the city of Philadelphia considers them! I initially was hesitant about having our wedding at a hotel since I didn’t want that “cookie cutter” feel. We visited several different venues in Center City Philly (some were hotels and others were just venues with an outside catering service and event staff). From our first meeting with the Sofitel we knew it had the best to offer of both worlds, a convenient, central location, hotel location+ amenities as well as a nice, upscale atmosphere. The package that the Sofitel offers is extremely clear and lays out exactly what you get for the price you are paying. Whenever we had a special request for something, they accommodated us with no extra hassle or charge, which I know a lot of other venues won’t do. The package is VERY reasonable price-wise for what it includes and I honestly don’t think we could have g...

It was so nice to know exactly what we were getting for what we were paying and not have to factor in additional costs if we wanted to tweak something, as I know a lot of my friends have complained about for their weddings. Lisa DeLuca, the banquet manager, was also super accommodating and very easy to work with. She ensured that everything went smoothly, from our meetings to discuss details, to the wedding day itself. I cannot say enough about this venue and you should definitely see what they have to offer!

Our wedding on 10/29/16, was unbelievably amazing at the Sofitel. I immediately fell in love with the event/wedding planners at the Sofitel- Lisa Deluca & Patricia Mcdonald! They're AMAZING! Lisa Deluca, the wedding coordinator, spent MANY hours working with my family and I on making this day perfect. The staff were so responsive and accommodating- helped us make our "Hallowedding" as unique, personal as we wanted it. We truly felt like the main event at the Sofitel that night. On the day of, I got ready with my wedding party in the Presidential Suite (GORGEOUS & HUGE).We have amazing pics of getting ready-some of my favorite from that day. The Sofitel did many personal touches for our "Hallowedding" throughout the evening. We received SOO many compliments-the food was out of this world-both cocktail hr and reception! The Sofitel went above and beyond for me to create "my dream"-a room FULL of desserts-pie station, sundae station, cookies, cake, and trick or treat" candy bags. The dess...

I have to give a special shout out to IRINA, Banquet Director, who is sweet, adorable, and helped make the night perfect, & to DASHMIR, our personal attendant throughout the weekend.He was PHENOMENAL! I am still on a wedding high and will be for a while. My family and I recommend the Sofitel 100%. Sofitel will take care of you and make your vision come to life. Thank you LISA, PATRICIA, & SOFITEL for making us an unforgettable wedding- it was the best day of our lives.

The Sofitel team did an outstanding job at our wedding on Saturday evening 10/22/2016. Lisa Deluca went out of her way to make this the most amazing day of our life. We were blown away by her attention to detail and her dedication to please us in every possible way. She assured us that everything will go smoothly and that she will deliver our vision and SHE DID! Even more, the evening became a stress-free fairytale. We can't thank her enough and couldn't recommend this venue more. Everything was so perfect! Wedding at Sofitel was as magical as it could get. The room was transformed into a dreamy romantic place. The waiters and staff were attentive and always there for every need to the point that it truly blew our mind. The food was incredible, largest shrimp we've ever seen! This evening was unforgettable. It really doesn't get better then Sofitel and Lisa and her team. Also, special thank you to Valerie, Lisa's right hand, who was there every step of the way to ensure everything goes... Read more as planned. Valerie, you are incredible! Thank you Sofitel!

If you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day – you MUST book The Sofitel! They are simply amazing. I knew the minute I met with Michael over a year ago that The Sofitel was special. Michael, unlike other venues, embraced our wedding vision (cocktail party style). During the year of pre-planning, Lisa & Valerie, went above and beyond. They did whatever was necessary to help us bring our vision to life including figuring how to seat 200 people in the Paris Foyer for the ceremony! Every question & concern was immediately answered. The attention to detail including food allergies was refreshing & I knew that no matter what it would be a great wedding & it was! Lisa & Valerie had everything under control during our wedding weekend - even finding shoes for my mother 45 minutes before the ceremony! During the reception, everything was handled so beautifully & seamlessly! I am still blown away. The food was amazing & our guests have not stopped raving! The ... Read moreattention to the little details really is what stands out for me. Whenever I met with Lisa & Valerie at the hotel – Michael made it a point to be there to say hello. Lisa & Valerie were in constant communication not just with me but my vendors. They would email me just to check in to see HOW I was doing especially as the big day approached! Valerie being there when we dropped off the dropped off the gift bags & other items for the wedding. And finally, having a server assigned to the bride & groom solely to cater to your needs – these are just a few of the many little touches that make The Sofitel special. Choosing to have our wedding at the Sofitel was one of the best decisions ever! Throughout the yearlong process, we were never made to feel like a nameless client but friends. Thank you to everyone at the Sofitel for making our wedding such a special and wonderful experience. I cannot recommend the Sofitel highly enough!

Lisa Deluca was the best. she took care of everything. We had a very hassle free planning and they gave us the prefer vendor list which were also great to work with.

The Sofitel exceeded my expectations and made my day amazing. My husband (who is British) and I looked at 10 venues and this was the only one where the coordinator Lisa DeLuca asked about us as a couple and what we were looking for and incorporated that into the reception. I live in the UK and had to rely on my mom and the Sofitel and they made planning seamless - nothing was too demanding. The Sofitel's package per head INCLUDES tax and service -which made it much easier to budget, was one of the most reasonable and offers a lot of value for money. Guests remarked how classy the food and setup was. We had a US/UK red/white/blue theme and Lisa and her team went out of their way to add touches such as blue lighting, red white and blue petits fours and fruit cake. They adjusted the drinks list to accomodate our favorite beer and wines and set up coffee in the lobby for guests. They set up a lovely room for hair and makeup on the day of the wedding and Lisa got the florist back there afte... Read morer the delivery had mistakes. Also a thank you to Valerie who works with Lisa, Svetlana who smoothly handled our room block, Olga who supervised the reception, Dashmir the banquet server who made the Sunday morning brunch flow smoothly and my wine glass filled at the reception and the rest of the warm, professional, friendly staff. I really had a day of a lifetime and I would wholeheartedly recommend the Sofitel as a reception venue.
