Skybox Event Center

It is so hard being a bride. Especially when you don’t know where to start. I called/​emailed every venue in Philadelphia and got a standard response: «This is our price, this is what you get.» It just wasn’t personal. Finally I called the Skybox Event Center and I was immediately impressed. Deena emailed me right away with their information. It was a personal email where she recounted my likes, dislikes and, why this venue would be to my liking. When I came for a tour I saw Deena setting up for another event. I mean she was literally setting it up herself! It was so heartening to see the staff doing all they could to make this event special. Deena was so kind to me, my fiancé, my mother, and my grandmother. (Especially since my mother was heavily scrutinizing everything.) They told me exactly what they could do with our budget and even suggested alternates to help us save. That’s true care.
I am so excited that I have her to organize my special day. Thank you Deena and Chris!

Was at skybox for a family bat mitzvah! Where should I start. The venue was cold! The cocktail hour: lemons no limes. Mini crab cakes lukewarm. Sushi was not handed rolled by this venue. Served on plates so the soy sauce rolled off the plates. Little bowls maybe. Going into the dinner the place was still cold! The salad was wilted, rolls were so hard they broke in your hand. Next dinner: The plates for dinner came out ice cold! First course pasta with short rib ice cold, next shrimp with rice, shrimp were like eating a tire and cold. Next Chinese chicken mushy the vegetables were so limp! Next a plate of vegetables cold. Dessert time: a large plate of pastries not one fork in sight! Plus no coffee or tea! And it was so COLD! The Swiss miss hot chocolate was the best thing all night! What a disgrace! I would rate this place an F. And also ran out of Gray Goose the bartender said!!! What a disappointment!

We went to the «Raise the Macallan» scotch whiskey event at the «Skybox» it was beautiful. Everything was so tastefully done. The food and the scotch tasting were excellent, as well as all the interesting facts we learned about how they make Macallan Scotch Whiskey. The event center is large and it was set up so beautifully. I hope I get to return for other events at this venue.
