The Deacon

The Deacon is an urban getaway and event space with a 100+ year legacy of celebration, community, and inspiration.  Our goal is to maintain the tradition of the space as a hub of the community: a place for celebration, congregation, and education where all are welcome, and everyone feels at home.

Work & Collaborate:  Looking for a spark? The Deacon is a haven for creative people, with an environment designed to encourage collaboration. Bring a remote team together to share ideas for a big project. Host a retreat for some team building that’s actually fun (no icebreakers or trust falls in gray conference rooms). Have your all hands meeting, then wake up to a gorgeous all-hands brunch. The Deacon is the perfect place to inspire and be inspired.

Celebrate:  Host a wedding, festive holiday party, or a milestone birthday extravaganza — The Deacon is the perfect space to celebrate any occasion. Grand historic details like the vaulted ceiling and stained glass windows are balanced by modern, minimal design, and a touch of humor. It all comes together as a versatile backdrop, ready to accommodate whatever your heart desires.

Film & Production:  Set up a photo shoot, record a podcast, film a music video, or host a company offsite. What makes The Deacon unique is its versatility. Our beautifully designed spaces can be transformed into whatever you imagine— modern or traditional, lush or minimal, bright or moody. It’s the perfect backdrop for your creative vision.

The Deacon collaborates with local artists and artisans, small business owners, chefs and restaurateurs, magicians and wellness experts to curate our Discoveries. Fully planned and executed by our staff, Discoveries bring some of the best of Philadelphia right to your group for a one-of-a-kind experience
