"My wedding reception was hosted by the wonderful team at the Currents Ballroom. The area was beautiful, everyone who attended my wedding commented on how when you first walked into the reception area how it took their breath away. Just the presentation of all the tables and how much care the staff took with setting the tables, the place was gorgeous. Not only do you have the floor to ceiling shark tanks, but you have the Philadelphia skyline and the Ben Franklin Bridge as a back drop that at night was amazing for my wedding pictures. By the end of the event planning, the staff had become my friends and it made me very happy that they stayed at the event to make sure everything ran smoothly.
