The MAAS Building

The MAAS Building is a Philadelphia wedding and event venue housed in a historically renovated 1859 industrial building in the Kensington neighborhood, offering both indoor and outdoor spaces for celebrations. The venue features a landscaped garden courtyard with a fire pit, a built-in pizza oven, an on-site cottage for getting ready, and flexible DIY-friendly event packages managed through PhillyDIY coordination. Originally built in 1859 as the Charles Maas Brewery, the building was rehabilitated beginning in 2008 by Ben Riesman and Catherine Birdsall, and has operated as an arts and events venue since 2010. Located at 1325 N. Randolph St., Philadelphia, PA 19122. Couples highlight the indoor-outdoor flexibility, the pizza oven, the fire pit, the all-day access for setup, and the on-site cottage; some note that communication around policy changes and equipment availability could be improved.
