If you're looking for a wedding venue that’s quirky, charming, and full of personality, look no further than Black Squirrel Club in Fishtown, Philadelphia.

When I was asked to photograph a wedding here, I knew it would be something special.
An Antique Store Vibe Meets Music Venue
Black Squirrel Club has an incredible mix of eclectic, retro décor and a raw, industrial feel. You’ll find old-fashioned furniture, vintage knick-knacks, and colorful lighting throughout the space. The venue’s roots as a music club make it even more interesting—it’s not your typical wedding spot, which is what makes it perfect for couples who want something out of the ordinary.
A Ceremony with Charm and Character
James and Dana’s wedding at Black Squirrel Club was filled with warmth and fun. The ceremony took place right on stage. It felt like a mix of a music lounge and an antique shop, but the love between the couple was what really lit up the room.
A Reception that Rocked
When it came time to celebrate, the Black Squirrel Club proved itself a fantastic party space. If people weren’t grabbing pizza from the Pitruco pizza truck, they were packing the dance floor. It was clear that the space helped create an intimate and lively atmosphere—perfect for a wedding that felt fun and relaxed.
Capturing the Magic as a Photographer
As a photographer, I was in heaven. Every corner of Black Squirrel Club has character, which made for some seriously amazing shots. The antique furniture, vintage décor, and urban setting of Fishtown outside gave us endless possibilities for photos. Whether it was the couple sharing a quiet moment on a velvet couch or sneaking outside for some cool city shots, the venue made every frame come to life.
