About African American Museum in Philadelphia

A wedding at the African American Museum in Philadelphia surrounds your guests with history and culture, a short walk from Independence Mall. The museum rents its four galleries and its auditorium for private events, weddings among them, so your photographer and videographer can capture your celebration with exhibitions as part of the scene.

Inside, the Jack T. Franklin Auditorium is the main room for a wedding reception. It covers about 1,968 square feet, includes a 9 by 35 foot stage with audio and visual equipment, and seats 100 at banquet tables with a dance floor, 145 without one, or 180 for a cocktail reception. The galleries can host cocktail receptions for about 50 to 60 guests each, with use of two of them subject to approval. Ask the events team whether your wedding ceremony can be held in the auditorium, which also seats up to 150 theater style.

Planning starts with an online application, and the museum publishes rental FAQs and a preferred vendors list. A cocktail hour among the exhibits followed by dinner and dancing in the auditorium makes a natural flow for the evening. The stage gives your wedding videographer a clear place for the toasts and a performance, and its sound equipment helps the speeches come through. The museum sits at Seventh and Arch Streets and offers barrier-free access for guests with disabilities.

  • Schedule a phone appointment or apply online to check your date.
  • Read the rental FAQs and the preferred vendors list.
  • Ask which galleries you can use for wedding photos, and about photo and video guidelines on your wedding day.
