Front and Palmer Reception

With a background in historic preservation and city planning, Samantha knew that a standard catering hall just wouldn’t do for her September nuptials to Brian. “I wanted an old, adapted space, something that reflected the heritage of Philadelphia,” Samantha says. They settled on the idea of an industrial loft and quickly found a venue that ended up falling through.
