“Museum of the American Revolution is the hottest new event spot in Philly,” exclaims Nina Scimenes, communications and market- ing manager of Brûlée Catering, which is now part of the Comcast Spectacor portfolio. “Every planner wants to hold an event in this spectacular space.” Brûlée is the exclusive caterer for the new museum.

Presenting an expansive collection of Revolutionary War-era weapons, personal items, letters, diaries and works of art set in its galleries and theater, the museum is just steps from Independence Hall and serves as a portal to the city’s many historical sites.


A black-tie gala celebrated its grand opening in April and raised over a million dollars to support the museum’s first year of operation. “It was an exciting event for 650 guests,” says Scimenes. “Brûlée catered a VIP reception in the Liberty Ballroom and a full-service three- course dinner outside in a huge clear-top tent. Tom Brokaw was a featured speaker, and original Hamilton cast member Sydney James Harcourt performed along with students from The Philadelphia High School for the Performing Arts. It was a beautiful evening.”

Additional spaces at IVC can host even larger events, such as the Grand Hall, which can accommodate a cocktail party or tasting event for up to 1,000 people, or a seated dinner for as many as 500 attendees.
