Artesano Gallery

Manayunk, PA

Nestled away under a bridge in the historic town of Manayunk, you’ll find Artesano Gallery. This venue is Philadelphia’s hidden gem, and paradise for art enthusiasts.

One of the venue’s perks is being surrounded by beautiful areas such as the Manayunk bridge and the Schuylkill River. The town itself is a trendy blend of urban atmosphere and small-town charm, which makes for a truly unique photo experience.

When you enter the hand-wrought iron gate, you’ll be greeted by a brightly colored patio draped in greenery and full of character.

Many couples like to have their first look here. It is also a great space for family and wedding party photos because everywhere you turn is a stunning new background which creates variety in your photos.

The short walk across the street to the ceremony space gives ample time for some memorable photos that perfectly capture the excitement of the coming events.

Upon arriving, you’ll pass an astonishing sculpture garden and enter an ornate bronze doorway. Inside, the exposed brick walls are lined with plants and natural light fills the room. The hand-wrought iron chandeliers flicker with real candles.

After the ceremony, you’ll return to the lower gallery where cocktail hour has begun. You and your guests will enjoy Artesano’s carefully crafted signature cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while you pose for photos by the 28 foot tall live wall.

All the guests have made their way up the winding staircase to the upper gallery to be seated, and now it’s your turn. As everyone cheers, you share a first dance. The colored lighting and artwork everywhere you turn creates a romantic ambiance.

From cake cutting, to dancing your heart out on the 1400 square foot dance floor, every detail of this space is perfect for a reception that you will treasure for the rest of your life together.
