Tendenza

My husband and I got married at Tendenza in July 2023 and had the most amazing day ever! We came across Cescaphe while doing a Google search for wedding venues and were able to speak with some one about what we were looking for. We were told that they were reopening Tendenza and it would be the best fit for our wedding. We began the process of planning our wedding with Cescaphe. Samantha and Keara was great during the planning process and listened to everything we wanted for our special day. The day of we had Josephine as our maitre d' and she was AMAZING! Josephine made sure we had a drink in our hand as well as made sure we took breaks to eat. She really made our day special. Overall, our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the food and experience with Cescaphe was. We had the most amazing time and wish we could relive that moment again!

You may be familiar with the term 'wedding photographer.' Well, that's me. I had the privilege to shoot a wedding at Tendenza and it was an amazing experience. First of all, my bride and groom loved it, as did their family. The venue is stunning and stylishly decorated with all sorts of wonderful details. The service was A+ and the food was phenomenal (as well as seemingly endless! So many appetizers!). Wonderful wedding or party venue in Philadelphia.

I recently attended a friend’s wedding at Tendenza in the Northern Liberties area of Philadelphia. It is a beautiful venue , the staff were attentive, kind and helpful. I am not a “foodie “ but I was very impressed with the food served during the cocktail hour and found that I had not much of an appetite for the sit down dinner. There were three entrees offered and other guests were very happy with their choice. The cocktails were flowing and the dancing was so much fun.

I attended a welcome party for a wedding here on a Friday night and I was very impressed with this place. The venue is beautiful! High class but not too flashy. The bartenders here are excellent. I had a number of different cocktails and they were all prepared to perfection. The service was top notch. Everyone I encountered was super friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure that all guests were having a good time. I’m always nervous about eating at event venues because the food is hit or miss but the food here was excellent! There was a variety of food including pasta, seafood, and Nigerian cuisine since the groom was Nigerian. Everything I had to eat was so good. I had to keep going back for additional servings. The chefs really did well with the Nigerian food too which can be tough to prepare. They also served a variety of desserts that were amazing. I had mini cupcakes in different flavors...chocolate and s’mores, they had cannolis also. Everything was perfect. The offer valet parking as well. My one recommendation is to put a full length mirror and bench in the ladies bathroom. The venue is too nice not to have a decked out bathroom.

I love all the Cescaphe venues but this one is my personal favorite! It's got that Cescaphe vibe with a more quirky/offbeat touches making it an elegant setting but "different." It never ceases to amaze me how each time I've done an event here it feels like a completely different venue because of how you can arrange the room to your vision! I also had the pleasure of attending a prom in 2011 at Tendenza with a friend who is now a chef with Cescaphe so it's always funny when we run into each other at a Cescaphe event. Another team member of ours attended a NYE wedding here and it was such an amazing setting for a memorable New Years city wedding. Wether guests or vendors Cescaphe is truly professional at what they do!! Best event group in Philly.
