VUE on 50 is on the 50th floor of the Three Logan Square building in Center City Philadelphia, with 360-degree panoramic views of the city, 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, and a sunset that photographs unlike anything else in Philadelphia. There is genuinely nothing else like it in the city.
About the Venue
Located at 1717 Arch Street, 50th Floor in Philadelphia. Over 10,000 square feet across three distinct spaces. Up to 230 guests for wedding receptions. Choice of caterers from approved partners, including 12th Street Catering, Perfect Setting Catering, and Sage Catering. The flexibility to choose your own caterer from this list is genuinely unusual for a high-end venue and allows real customization of the dining experience.
The Three Spaces
Vista is the largest space and the primary reception and dinner room. The sunset in Vista is jaw-dropping. Floor-to-ceiling windows catch the sun setting over Philadelphia, and the views extend in every direction.
Observatory is the ceremony-and-cocktail-hour space, with the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and City Hall in the background. The most memorable Philadelphia views of any ceremony space in the city.
The Grand Hallway is the cocktail hour space between the two larger rooms. Step off the elevator and immediately see the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Logan Square fountain stretching toward South Philadelphia. The first view guests get upon arrival sets the tone for the entire evening.
Photography at VUE on 50
The light in this space changes constantly and dramatically throughout the day. Daytime coverage in the Observatory and Grand Hallway uses the city as a backdrop for portraits. The Vista room at sunset produces some of the most dramatic reception photography I make in Philadelphia. The city lights after dark through those floor-to-ceiling windows are extraordinary. Every part of the day at VUE on 50 looks different and equally compelling.
