Union League in Philadelphia

April 11, 2023 Wedding Films

Nothing is more lovely than a traditional wedding with a joyful ceremony. The Saint Peter and Paul Basilica Cathedra and The Union League in Philadelphia was the location that Jennifer and Nick selected for their conventional wedding ceremony. Their wedding was classy and traditional. The two were surrounded by friends and family as they exchanged vows and received the title of husband and wife. Jennifer and Nick captured some traditional Philly wedding photos after the ceremony. One of our favorite sites in these vintage photos is city hall. City Hall is a beautiful location for wedding photos at any time of day. The city lights make for great midnight shots of a pair. 

The Union League

Following the wedding, Jennifer and Nick traveled to the Union League with relatives and friends for a wonderful celebration. The Union League provides a variety of event spaces to accommodate wedding parties and events of all sizes. When the Union League of Philadelphia was founded in 1862 as a patriotic club to support the Union and President Abraham Lincoln’s policies, it laid the intellectual framework for subsequent Union Leagues across a country torn apart by civil war. Throughout the Civil War, the League has proudly backed American troops in every battle and has hosted American presidents, chiefs of state, business leaders, celebrities, and dignitaries from around the world. The Union League’s initial motto, Eros Patriae Ducit, or Love of Country Leads, still serves as its compass.

Lincoln Hall was the venue of choice for Jennifer and Nick’s celebration. The dress code for weddings at Union League in Philadelphia is typically black tie. The Lincoln Hall Ballroom is a magnificent space with elaborate ceilings and walls that can hold up to 400 guests. One of the most amazing features of this venue is how beautiful it is—you don’t even need a lot of decorations to make it feel magnificent. It has grand chandeliers, tall ceilings, and wall artwork with traditional portraits of former presidents. All of the presidents of the League are represented in portraits in Lincoln Hall, which is thought of as a portrait gallery showcasing over 100 years of portraiture, primarily by Philadelphia artists. 

All of their loved ones joined Jennifer and Nick as they danced the night away. Jennifer’s mother, best friend, and Nick’s best man all gave speeches. The speeches honoring Jennifer and Nick’s union were sincere and heartfelt.

 

Our Allure Films team was thrilled to be a part of the love that permeated this memorable day. 

Again, congrats to Jennifer and Nick! A lifetime of joy and love is what we wish for you.

Phoenixville Foundry Wedding

July 15, 2022 Wedding Films

The Phoenixville Foundry is a favorite spot to shoot weddings at Allure Films because of the variety of shots we can get of the bride and groom on property. The venue also recently won an Editor’s Choice Award from Philly Weddings because of its stellar customer service and stunning location. The gorgeous venue is just a short drive away from Philadelphia in Chester County. The short yet scenic drive through hilly green suburbs is a great way to start your guest’s day as they arrive at the Phoenixville Foundry. Allure Films has had years of experience shooting at this venue, and we are proud to be a Phoenixville Foundry wedding videographer!

Pheonixville Foundry Wedding

Historic Phoenixville Foundry

The Foundry was built in the late 1800s and was used by the Phoenix Iron & Steel Company in its early days. Being built along the French Creek, the Foundry offers lush green views and rustic pieces hinting at the original use of the building. The grounds offer 18,000 square feet of space to capture the perfect clips to create your wedding day video. 

As time went on, the Foundry was no longer needed. Thankfully the town realized the historical significance and beauty of the location. They have done a great job keeping up the building and surrounding area over the years. Recently in 2006, the Hankin Real Estate Group took over the Phoenixville Foundry and designed an event space to mix modern decor with touches of the past. 

The Venue

The deeply rooted history of the Phoenixville Foundry is obvious in the architecture of the venue as it brings in the charm of rustic steel and stone. It is easy to feel romantic in a space that is bathed in warm, natural light. The sun streams in from the large paned windows over the course of the day. With many different spaces in the venue, the Foundry offers a versatile space to design your perfect day. A customizable experience allows you to create your dream wedding to remember for a lifetime. 

Phoenixville Foundry has two separate indoor event spaces to choose from, plus plenty of outdoor space to explore as well. The abundance of different backgrounds makes for an exceptional wedding day video. With a variety of shots in the final product, your guests are sure to be wowed!

West Wing Ballroom

A popular choice for your wedding is the West Wing Ballroom. This ballroom holds enough space for up to 275 seated guests. The ballroom has elements of wood and rust and has simple tan painted walls. This offers a neutral palette allowing you to add your wedding decor without worrying about it being too busy.

The high open style ceiling exposes the intricate steel truss work overhead, with long columns of light raining down beautifully into the room. Large windows brighten up the room with warm natural light. Each window also has a curtain, allowing you to control the amount of light you want throughout the day.

The center of the room can be opened up for use as a dance floor, and the front of the room has a small stage with audiovisual connections provided for use as well. If you choose the West Wing Ballroom for your wedding reception, you are also able to use the private entrance and restrooms for this space. We love getting shots of your guests having fun in the West Wing Ballroom for your Phoenixville Foundry wedding day video!

Cupola Ballroom & Mezzanine

This grand ballroom offers 8,100 square feet of space and was named after one of the two original cupola furnaces. This ballroom can hold up to 180 guests for a ceremony. But, when combined with the West Wing Ballroom you can have up to 400 guests at your Phoenixville Foundry wedding. 

The main highlights of the Cupola Ballroom are the gorgeous grand foyer and sweeping double staircase that leads up to the mezzanine. Your first entrance as Mr. & Mrs. is sure to be grand walking down the elegant staircase! Tall ceilings stretch 60 feet up and you get excellent views of the dining space from the above mezzanine. The mezzanine is the perfect spot for a cocktail ceremony or cake cutting. The space itself is flexible and will accommodate almost any table set up or staging.

Covered Bridge

Lastly, the column truss bridge is another great spot to shoot your wedding day video or capture a few photos at the Phoenixville Foundry. Take your wedding party around the two acres of greenery to take a breath of fresh air on your big day and grab some incredible photos.

The lush greens surrounding the wooden bridge make it a popular spot to gather. Steel beams reach up and surround the bridge to offer a naturally framed photo of the newlyweds. The bridge has lights that dot the top of the steel beams. This allows you to capture outdoor photos night or day! The Covered Bridge is the perfect spot to escape and capture a memory at your Phoenixville Foundry wedding. 

The great part about the Phoenixville Foundry is the ability to mix and match spaces to create your ideal indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your event space! Of course, this all depends on the number of guests attending and the weather of your wedding day. The staff at the Foundry will always be sure to have a backup plan ready in case of sour weather.
