FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please let us know by April 1st

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code is garden party. We'd love to see you in your brightest spring/summer colors! Please keep in mind we will primarily be outdoors in late May, so dress accordingly. Choose comfortable footwear suitable for walking on a grassy lawn (avoid stilettos and stilts.) Dancing will be indoors on a wood floor.

Question

Where is the wedding?

Answer

The wedding will be held at the Awbury Arboretum at 1 Awbury Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19138

Question

Where should I stay in Philadelphia?

Answer

We have reserved a hotel block at the Holiday Inn Express in Philadelphia/Fort Washington, about 15-20 minutes NW of the venue by car. If you'd like to book, please use the link in the "Travel" tab of our site before April 28th. Additionally, there are a plethora of options in downtown near Market street for those that want to be close to the hustle and bustle! If you are looking for an Airbnb or another rental, we recommend looking in Wyndmoor PA.

Question

What is the best way for me to get to the wedding Venue?

Answer

For those staying at our hotel block, we have arranged shuttle transportation to the venue starting around 3:00pm, with the last bus leaving between 3:45-4pm to make it in time for the ceremony. Return shuttle service will begin at 8:30pm and run until the end of the event. If you plan to stay in the downtown area of Philadelphia, we recommend two options: taking the Chestnut Hill East train line to the Washington Lane station, which lets out about a 8-10 minute walk from the venue at the Awbury Arboretum, or taking a car/taxi to the arboretum entrance at Awbury road. If you take public transportation to the wedding venue, we recommend getting an Uber at the end of the night!

Question

Is there parking at the wedding venue?

Answer

There will be a limited amount of parking available along Station Road junction behind the venue building. There is a driveway/circle right in front of the venue to accommodate car drop-offs and pick-ups.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The wedding ceremony, reception cocktail hour, and dinner will all be hosted outdoors in the beautiful gardens behind the Francis Cope house. While we expect the temperature to be pleasant in late May, the air-conditioned main house will be open to guests at all times during the afternoon/evening if you need to cool down.
