Cescaphe?
Anyone know what the deal is with Cescaphe? I thought it was supposed to open in January? Thought it would be available for banquet/catering... |

The Cescaphe building houses a catering hall (most of the interior), and a restaurant (the very front, where the windows are). The catering hall has been operating for over a year now, has had dozens of events, and is available for bookings. The restaurant is not open (at least as of a few weeks ago when I last looked).

With Cescaphe so booked, does anyone have any other recommendations for reception halls? Anyone been to a reception in the city they thought was gorgeous? |

Kath, I am planning my wedding as well. I tried calling Cescaphe and leaving messages, but no one seems to like to return my phone calls. I don't believe they have a working website at this time. At least, not from the last time I check. I ended up booking elsewhere. Good luck with your wedding planning! Julie

My fiance and I visited Cescaphe for our wedding, possibly--great place. However, they're so popular they're booked for about two years. I have to say we've compared every other place to it and nothing really comes close. |

I recently went to a wedding there and I have to say that it was one of the best wedding that I have ever attended. The food was phenomenal!! I highly recommend checking it out if you are looking to hold a function. |

Victoria, I am not sure as to what you are saying...did you call them already or, are you trying to contact them? According to all the feedback I hear, they do an outstanding job with their weddings and events. I have been inside and it is lovely. Actually, I am attending a wedding there Friday evening. It appears that Cescaphe is the new "place" to have a wedding...they are booked way ahead. Their presentation is extraordinary. |

I've heard the weddings are beautiful. I only wish they knew how to handle trash and noise as well. |

We just attended my cousins Repici wedding reception on July 21, 2007 and it was the most eleborate and first class wedding reception we ever attended. |

Our family attended a wedding reception there last evening (July 20th) for Leanne and Justin DiDomenico. The food, service and atmosphere were great - and if I knew how to spell hors d' ooeuvres, I'd tell you how good and plentiful they were as well. They also had a band that was fantastic! Mary |

Yup - the old Imperial Theatre. Many old timers remember going to movies there (or should I say sneaking into the theatre),and in fact, one of the squares on the Northern Liberties quilt depicts the old "Imp". Mary |

i dont know anything about the restaurant but if the rumour is true that this is the place responsible for the high rate of speed on second street - then they should be ashamed. we are building a nieghborhood and one day it will be one of our children being hit by a vehicle. please tell your drivers to slow down...thank you. With that said - I'm sure it is a great place to hang out, and in no way is the behaviour of thier valet drivers a refection of the atmosphere or the quality of food that is served in this restaurant. |

For those who have been to or are familiar with Cescaphe, do you think it would be appropriate for a high school reunion with about 300 people? Would love feedback. Thanks! |

Great choice... Although I'm not sure if 300 would fit comfortably. Had my wedding reception at Cescaphe bout 2 years ago & they mentioned just over 200 is considered the max (at least for a wedding reception). The food is amazing and the service is just as good. They are usually booked a year or two out but it's worth a shot. |

The main ballroom does seat 300 people and there two other rooms that are used for cocktail hours and even a bar outside for a more outdoor type of wedding. Cescaphe is booked most weekends already, so I would contact them right away if you're interested. We do tours on Saturdays if you would like a tour. |

You can call the Cescaphe and they will set up an appointment. I am having my wedding there next year and we are so excited! The place is amazing and i have heard nothing but amazing things about the place. The people there are fabulous however it is true that they are booked very far out. We booked in february for our wedding in August 31 2008. Their website is cescapheballroom.com |

I am very interested in Cascaphe for my wedding in Dec. '09. Is the place very expensive though. I've never got a definite answer. |

We are plannig a wedding in early 09, and have done a lot of shopping around. What Cescaphe offers is OVER the top. The ballroom, bridal suite, and whole inside is gorgeous. The price is comparable to an elegant wedding in " high end " facilities, and the staff, from the owner, through his whole team, are more than you can imagine. It is no wonder they are booked for 2 yrs in advance, you couldn't ask for more...the ballroom at the ben has a long way to go to compare to this elegant, CLEAN, friendly, warm ballroom. I can't say enough about how creative, friendly and wonderful the staff is , focused on detail and completely focused on satisfing you, the customer. |

Trying to drive down Second or Hancock
IP: 69.249.101.63 Dec 20th, 2007 - 1:26 PM |
I've been to several affairs at Cescaphe and agree that they do a great job. That being said, it is me or do they think they own the neihborhood? Last night Hancock Street was blocked with delivery trucks, musicians and the like. Don't we have any rights as neighbors trying to get home to our residences? Second Street is a disgrace, but Hancock isn't much better. |
