IATSE Ballroom
"Wow! This hidden gem in South Philly is great! Excellent service, delicious food, cold beverages, and a parking lot! What else do you need?"
-Eleanor, Domizio Wedding Attendee
Built in 2010, the IATSE Ballroom's bright marquee entrance sets the stage for a 400 person capacity ultra modern ballroom with 22 feet high ceilings and top notch theatrical lighting. The building was built by the local 8 Stagehands union, who are the skilled labor for the entertainment industry. A venue built by stagehands, run by a producer and well seasoned chef-restaurateur, has proven to be a strong recipe for success.
