We used the Franklin and Frog Commissary for our annual Holiday party. It was both an elegant and fun evening. I was overwhelmed with the positive feedback we received about the service, the venue, the staff and the food. The Titanic exhibit is a must see! My personal experience arranging the event was that catering and guest services was responsive, helpful and a joy to work with. I can't wait to have our next event there!

The venue was just spectacular and breathtaking. Everyone on staff was awesome especially Gina. We will never forget our evening there.

Amazing venue, especially with the lighting package! Very responsive and professional staff. It really doesn't get any better than this for a reception site.
GUEST




The rooms were all set up extremely well & everyone was very kind/helpful. So many guests came up to us raving about how great our venue was that night!

Interacting with the exhibits during the cocktail hour absolutely thrilled our guests! Franklin Hall & the amazing lighting package was absolutely breathtaking. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding.

Our venue was lovely and original, at the Fels Planetarium at the Franklin Institute. We loved the space... if we had more time to plan I think we would have gotten a date without another event. The team at TFI are very nice; if we had one complaint it would be that it sometimes took awhile to hear back from folks but with all the venues they run, it isn't surprising. Parking was easy, and we loved our coordinator, Arlene.

Who knew the Franklin Institute did weddings?? These people saved us - 3 months from our wedding dateour Venue fell through and they stepped right up and made the wedding of our dreams a reality! It was just beautiful! Becasue it is a public museum, there is not much room for flexability of time but it is worth working with them on!

I had my wedding in the planetarium and the reception in the room with the big statue of Ben Franklin

FAQ for The Franklin Institute
During the summer of 2008, we completed a multi-million dollar renovation in Franklin Hall. A new, state of the art lighting and audio-visual package was installed, vividly enhancing the impact of events in Franklin Hall. This package includes LED lighting, special effects, a sound system and four projection screens to display photos, logos and slideshows. The 4-minute Ben Franklin Forever film offers guests a feeling of awe as they flash back to historic Philadelphia. The acoustic paneling installed has drastically improved the sound quality in Franklin Hall.
