About this venue

With grand arched windows overlooking the Historic District of Philadelphia, Union Trust will captivate the most discerning guests. This renovated facility has become one of Philadelphia’s chicest event location for weddings, social gatherings, and corporate functions. With its soaring sixty-five foot illuminated engraved ceilings, architecturally accented walls, multiple private rooms, and a breathtaking wraparound mezzanine overlooking the whole site; Union Trust offers an exceptional blend of the old, regal Philadelphia but infused with a new vibrant pulse. This building is an embodiment of rich Philadelphia history having once served as The Union Trust Company Bank, which was built in 1888. In Finley Catering’s constant pursuit of exquisite cuisines and top-notch professionalism, we feel that Union Trust is an ideal addition to make our center city endeavors a perfect trio.

Union Trust Alpha Lit Great Memories!
Working with Union Trust has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. The team communicates with clarity and attention to detail, making every conversation productive and stress-free. Their stunning venue and immaculate spaces really showcase our marquee letters beautifully, which is crucial for our business. We're thrilled to be recognized as a preferred vendor for Finley, and that partnership speaks volumes about the quality of service they provide. I'd confidently recommend this venue to any couple looking for a polished, well-maintained space that genuinely cares about making vendors look good.

Union Trust - Finley Catering
Our wedding at Union Trust was everything we hoped for and more. From start to finish, the Maitre D' (Thomas) and event coordinator (Grace) kept things running smoothly without us having to think twice about what came next. The gourmet food, drinks, and desserts were absolutely incredible—our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. We learned that Finley Catering Chef is a master of his culinary skills, and now we understand why they're considered one of the best wedding catering companies in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The whole event flowed perfectly, and the team's attention to detail made our day feel special and stress-free. We'd recommend Union Trust - Finley Catering to any couple looking for a venue with top-notch service and outstanding food.
