BLDG39 at the Arsenal

BLDG39 at the Arsenal is a historic industrial-style wedding and event venue in Philadelphia, located inside the stone confines of Frankford Arsenal on Tacony Street. The venue features exposed brick, concrete floors, garage doors, high ceilings, and a 2,600-square-foot open floor plan designed as a blank canvas for customization, with options ranging from formal seated dinners to food truck receptions. Built in 1917 and originally used as a paint shop in a munitions complex, the building has been renovated to preserve its history while serving as a modern event space. Located at 5401 Tacony Street, Philadelphia, PA 19137, minutes from Center City Philadelphia. Couples consistently highlight the distinctive industrial architecture, the DIY flexibility to customize the space, and the staff (including the Events With ShaBars team and Tamyron) who coordinated details throughout the event. Some note that couples should communicate their plans clearly in advance to ensure advertised features are confirmed.
