Commentary on the Kimmel Center, Inc. Experience

"The Kimmel Center is a fabulous location for an event. My firm—Woodcock Washburn LLP—had its 2004 Holiday Party in the Hamilton Garden and the venue could not have been more spectacular. The view of the city coupled with the elegant décor, attentive wait staff, and delectable cuisine made the event a memorable one. We loved the venue so much we booked our 2005 Holiday Party the next week! And because the event planning staff is cordial, accommodating, and a genuine pleasure to work with, planning an event at the Kimmel Center is effortless. "
— Lynn Malinoski, Woodcock Washburn LLP

"We are so pleased to be planning for the second Americanism Award Dinner to be held at the Kimmel Center. Our experience last December was so gratifying in that the Kimmel Center staff provided nothing short of 5 star service. Every detail was attended to with grace and the utmost professionalism. Our only problem now is how we will top last year!"
— Lisa Shatz Gross, Anti-Defamation League

"The Kimmel Center hosted a management conference for 50 of our key executives in 2003. They handled our needs very professionally and were extremely responsive to special requests, such as a rooftop candlelight dinner and a private concert with a headline entertainer. The array of venues provided by the Kimmel Center is unparalleled in Philadelphia. We would definitely consider using them again for a special event."
— Margaret L. Gernert, De Lage Landen Financial Services

"Who needs Manhattan when you have access to sexy, chic, contemporary event space with ultra-hip tasty food delivered with smooth service — an event planner's dream."
— Melissa Paul, Evantine Design

"When Philadelphia Weekly wanted to appropriately express our appreciation to our advertising clients, we wanted to make them feel very special. The rooftop garden at the Kimmel Center was our preferred destination. The value of the space is unmatched in Philadelphia."
— Scott Santo, PW - Philadelphia Weekly

"A sincere thanks from Astral Artistic Services for the wonderful assistance the Kimmel Center staff provides. It's always a pleasure to work with the Kimmel Center administration. Despite managing enormous schedules, they always provide exemplary service and immediate, thoughtful attention."
— Cheri Astolfi, Astral Artistic Services

"From a conductor’s perspective, the stage of the Perelman Theater is wonderful — a great space for ensemble playing. A conductor can easily hear all the instruments and focus on the different parts of the orchestra. And the Perelman’s stage is equally comfortable for musicians — they can hear themselves clearly and support each other in their performances. "
— Maestro Christofer Macatsoris, music director, The Academy of Vocal Arts

"The staff at the Kimmel Center is everything you could ask for: highly professional, exceptionally helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile to make things work."
— Barbara Murray, Orchestra 2001
