We ️ the Stratus Lounge & Hotel Monaco
We truly could not have asked for a better experience with the Stratus team! From the very beginning, our event coordinator, Katie, was absolutely incredible. She made the entire planning process feel so easy by communicating everything clearly, keeping us organized, and helping us make decisions whenever we felt overwhelmed or indecisive. Having someone so knowledgeable and supportive made all the difference. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and exactly what we had envisioned for our wedding. Every member of the staff was kind, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. The food was phenomenal, and we received countless compliments from our guests about both the food and the drinks all night long. Hotel Monaco was also absolutely beautiful. Nearly all of our family and friends stayed there, and despite it being an incredibly busy weekend with the start of the World Cup, the accommodations were excellent. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed, and our guests loved spending time at Red Owl Tavern before and after the wedding. Overall, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to Katie and the entire Stratus team for making our day unforgettable. We would recommend them 10 out of 10 for any wedding or special event! We wish we had our photos back to share how beautiful it was!

Perfect place for our wedding
Hotel Monaco was the perfect place for our wedding. It had the convenience of a hotel in the city but outdoor beauty with the garden across the street for our ceremony and the rooftop deck for our cocktail hour, and the design of the hotel is artistic and unique. Katie Killman is a fantastic coordinator and the entire staff was lovely during the weekend, from Sage the bellhop who was so helpful multiple times with all our luggage and requests, to the server for the sweetheart table who was so attentive to my husband and I, to the bartenders at the wedding who greeted my husband and I by name, . The corner suites are perfect for getting ready and photographs; the food was delicious; and we loved that everything was dog friendly so our dog could be part of this important weekend!

Wedding of our Dreama
The Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was easy, smooth, and personable - they truly made us feel like their top priority. The event spaces are beautiful, modern and chic yet still have a classic elegance. The team went above and beyond to make all of our wedding day dreams come true, and we were amazed by the incredible value they provided. Our guests are still raving about the gorgeous setting and delicious food. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Philadelphia to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.
