Your wedding at the German Society of Pennsylvania on Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia can start in a library. The Joseph Horner Library on the third floor is a two-story reading room lined with galleried bookcases, with plaster busts along the walls and a large wooden podium at the front. For wedding photos it's a rare setting, and from the gallery level your photographer and videographer can look down on the whole room as you exchange vows.

Hold your wedding ceremony in the library for up to 150 guests, or outside on the Leidy Terrace, a shaded courtyard under six large linden trees with a section of the Berlin Wall in the background. The terrace also works for cocktail hour. Before the ceremony, the Director's Room, a parlor with a couch, armchairs and cabinets of vintage beer steins and china, can serve as your bridal suite. It connects to the auditorium through double doors and is only rented together with that space.

The wedding reception moves to the Barthelmes Auditorium, which seats 200 for dinner or holds 250 for a cocktail-style party. Four original plaster chandeliers hang over the floor, and the stage at the front is a natural place for your band, the toasts and the first dance on video. The room has a wet bar near the entrance and a commercial kitchen and prep room for your caterer. For a smaller party, the Ratskeller downstairs is a cozy, old-world dining room.

  • Spaces are rented by the day, for up to 14 hours, so plan your wedding day timeline around that.
  • No food or drink is allowed in the library, and terrace furniture must be rented.
  • Ask about photo and video guidelines when you tour, and bring your photographer if you can.

A little about the German Society of Pennsylvania

In 1888 the German Society built its Assembly Hall for lectures, concerts and meetings, and the library was built the same year as a reading room. It is still a working research library today.
