Things To Do
Caffeine Fix
The Bride and Groom love a good "coffee walk," here are our go-to's: Grooms Pick- La Colombe: 130 S 19th Street (8min walk) or 1414 S Penn Square (next to the Ritz) Brides Pick- Di Bruno Brothers, known for meats & cheeses but don't sleep on their coffee and pastries: 1730 Chestnut Street (7 min walk) -J'aime French Bakery- go for the coffee stay for the Parisian pastries: 212 S 12th St (6 min walk) -Elixir Coffee Roasters- a hip spot for a fancy pour-over: 207 S Sydenham St (6 min walk)
Shopping Spree
Looking to scratch that retail itch or look for a post-holiday deal? Walnut Street between 18th Street and Broad is a densely populated shopping district with everything from a Lululemon & J. Crew, to Tiffany & Co. and Lagos. Need a Philly Gift or Souvenir? We love "Open House" for their cheesesteak baby onesies and soft pretzel pillows. It's a must stop if you want to bring some Philly Jawns home with you. 107 S 13th St, just 4 minutes from the hotels!
Wine Fix- Cork
Sure you could go to the "State Store" but our favorite boutique wine shop in Philadelphia, Cork, will have you swishing, smelling, and tasting like a sommelier in no time. Red, White or Bubbles, ask for help, you won't regret it. Stock your hotel room with the best around. Bride and Groom's Recommendation: Il Mostro "Thyrus" (Trebbiano d'Abruzzo) or the Sonnhof Social Club 2019 (Gruner Veltliner)
Ice Cream Cravings
Yes it's December, but do you even know the Bride? -Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream- Don't skip the "Gooey Butter Cake": 1901 Chestnut St (7 min walk) -Scoop DeVille- Philly's best ice cream by the one and only Spencer Philips. This institution blends your favorite hard ice cream flavor with any topping you can imagine to create the custom soft serve of your dreams. Brides order- vanilla ice cream with strawberries, fruity pebbles, and marshmallow fluff: 1109 Walnut Street (8 min walk)
12/31/23 Eagles Home Game- Lincoln Financial Field
Eagles vs Cardinals @ 1 pm
1/1/24 The Mummers Parade
Staying Through NYE? We don't blame you, the hotel blocks give you the best seat in the house for witnessing one of Philadelphia's best known (and strangest) New Year's Day traditions. What's more entertaining than watching hoards of middle aged men in dresses playing brass instruments? Don't ask us the history of this tradition, we aren't sure anyone knows.
Parc
A Philly Classic, Period. Looking for an easy brunch, solid lunch, or feeling like a seafood tower overlooking Rittenhouse Square is in your future? This is your spot. Strongly recommend reservations far in advance. (10 Minute Walk) Brides Pick: Steak Tartare & Warm Shrimp Salad. Grooms Pick: Steak Frites & Bowl of French Onion Soup

Wedding Party
Rob Daniele
Best Man
Matt’s fun loving and full of life older brother. Rob’s been such a presence in Matt’s life and we couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without him standing by Matt’s side. Rob loves adventures, trying new restaurants, and spending time with his family.
Hayley Miller
Matron of Honor
Cassidy's rock and savior in this world, her younger sister Hayley. She's the best sister, mama, daughter, speech pathologist, and friend. Hayley is funny, compassionate, brave, and just the all around best sister in the world. She's been a huge part of Cass and Matt's lives and they're so grateful she'll be a part of their celebrations. Watch out for this mama on the dance floor!
Davis Shaver
Man of Honor
Cassidy couldn't get married without her sister AND brother by her side. Davis and Cassidy became close spending most of their 20's in Philly together and even lived a block away from one another for two years. Davis was a great big brother who often met Cass for early morning dog walks on the Rail Park to make sure she stayed safe. Davis is intelligent, unique, and a total history buff. He's an entrepreneur with varied interests including all things tech, hyper local news, and his wire hair fox terrier Doc. Ask Davis for Philadelphia cuisine recommendations, he won't do you wrong.
