Venue Spotlight


The Barnes Foundation Philadelphia, PA


In choosing unique venues such as museums and attractions as host sites for private/corpo-


rate events, what are some important characteristics to consider? Hosting an event among a gallery or museum gives an event an instant “cool-factor.” While many attendees will have surely experienced a hotel ballroom or conference center, a museum provides a stunning cultural backdrop where guests also will get to check out world-renowned art exhibitions that will leave them talking. Be sure to consider the size of the event to determine which gallery or event space can work. The Barnes Foundation, as an example, has a capacity from 50 guests up to 800 guests.


What are a few highlights of The Barnes as a location for an event? Experienced planners and Constellation Culinary Group’s world-class catering team are readily available to help plan every detail. Benefits of hosting events at The Barnes include: complimentary access to the collection, gar- dens, and special exhibitions; complimentary parking and coat check with valet parking available; and use of Barnes images for invitations and event-related publications, to name just a few. Additionally, the venue features a stunning garden terrace that is available for use year-round.


When it comes to adding F&B, how important is the right catering partner? Anybody who has been to an event can attest to the importance of quality food. Far beyond just quality, though, Constellation Culinary Group provides imagination, insight, and inspiration to all of its culinary projects. Constellation doesn’t solely provide food, they also create an experience that reflects years of event expertise and service excellence.

How does Constellation work with the group to provide the right food to fit each event? Constellation Culinary Group’s menu offerings are wide and varied. Outside of what’s offered on their menus, they also customize culinary selections based on what the event hosts are passionate about serving. For some- thing quite unique and special, Constellation’s team can even create dishes to reflect specific artists or artwork exhibitions at The Barnes Foundation.
