The Switch House by Cescaphe Wedding in Philadelphia | Ashley + Matt

For any of you who are familiar with Cescaphe weddings, you know that their wedding venues go above and beyond. One of my favorite Philadelphia wedding venues being The Lucy, I knew from the get-go that a wedding by Cescaphe would be breathtaking. In comes The Switch House which is Cescaphe’s newest Philadelphia wedding venue. The Switch House by Cescaphe wedding in Philadelphia with Ashley and Matt exceeded all expectations. An SCP associate was able to document every tear, laugh, and dance and here we are spilling all of the tea.

Philadelphia Weddings at The Switch House by Cescaphe

Previously an electric power plant for the city of Philadelphia back in the early twenties, The Switch House is now transformed by Cescaphe into a stunning wedding event space. A wedding held at The Switch House means that perfect industrial modern blend. Surrounding you are historic industrial walls, black iron accents, three-tier chandeliers, a Venetian finish fireplace, and a floor-to-ceiling vintage mirrored bar. The entire wedding space offers large windows and a gorgeous skylight that brings in a ton of natural light into their space. While The Switch House maintains its original industrial structure, it incorporates a plethora of modern amenities that make it an eye-catching and unique Philadelphia wedding venue.

Benefits Of A Wedding At The Switch House by Cescaphe

Having The Switch House be Cescaphe’s newest Philadelphia wedding venue, there may be some speculation as to which Cescaphe wedding venue to book. However, before clicking away, listen to a Philadelphia wedding photographer’s opinion on the benefits of a wedding at The Switch House.

Overnight Accommodations at The Switch House Hotel

First, a huge benefit of having a wedding at The Switch House is the overnight accommodations they offer couples and guests at The Switch House Hotel. Bringing in that same modern industrial feel from their wedding space, The Switch House Hotel gives you the option to reserve rooms for a complete wedding weekend. The Switch House Hotel is a 45-room hotel that is a perfect (and safe) option for out-of-town guests attending your wedding. The Switch House by Cescaphe makes it easy and accessible for couples and guests to have overnight accommodations and is surely perfect for any couple’s wedding weekend celebration!

Easy Waterfront Access at Penn Treaty Park

Secondly, The Switch House is in close proximity (about a four-minute walk) to some of the best waterfront views at Penn Treaty Park. Facing the Delaware River, Penn Treaty Park is just one of the many beautiful locations for wedding portraits. Which as you know, means the world as a Philadelphia wedding photographer. We are able to sneak away for a moment to this gorgeous photo location and get some of the most breathtaking wedding portraits of you and your partner.

Large Guest Size Capacity

Lastly, a wedding at The Switch House means it’s a perfect wedding venue for a larger wedding size. If you want to have a larger wedding celebration and are worried about having enough space, then The Switch House is the perfect location for you. With a guest capacity of between 150-325 guests, this is the picture-perfect wedding venue for your wedding celebration.

Wedding Amenities At The Switch House

One thing that Cescaphe always does well is offering their couples top-quality wedding amenities. When you book your Cescaphe wedding at The Switch House you will get features and amenities such as:

The Switch House by Cescaphe Wedding in Philadelphia with Ashley + Matt

For Ashley and Matt’s Cescaphe wedding at The Switch House, they kept a relatively neutral color palette. Their black-and-white theme paired beautifully with the champagne satin bridesmaids’ dresses and stuck with the neutral and classic theme. Ashley and Matt chose to have a traditional Catholic wedding ceremony at the St. Peter The Apostle church. It would be here that Ashley and Matt would lock eyes for the first time on this day and know that in a few short moments, they would be husband and wife.

After the ceremony, we were able to wander into Downtown Philadelphia for some solo portraits of the newlyweds. Having it be in such an easy and walkable distance from Downtown Philly proved to be such a blessing since it just enhanced the overall urban feel of the entire day. We made our way to The Switch House where we were greeted with their wedding party to take more photos inside the urban wedding venue.

Their wedding reception inside The Switch House was pure bliss. Natural light beamed in through the grand windows and skylight. It made photographing these classic black-and-white table settings that much more picturesque. Guests began trickling in as Ashley and Matt made their grand entrance. Rose petals were thrown as they did their first dance and friends and family watched in awe. The rest of the night was spent with slow dances, laughing until-you-cry speeches, and a delectable cake that was photographed so well you could almost taste it through the camera lens.

Cheers to The Spellmans and allowing SCP to document such a memorable day!
