FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is black tie optional. We suggest that men wear dark colored suits or tuxedos. For women, we suggest full length or mid length dresses.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

If driving into Philadelphia the day of the wedding, street parking is limited, but there are several parking garages within a few blocks of the church and reception. If you would like to search for parking garage availability and pricing in advance, we recommend downloading the Spot Hero app. There is also the Parkway Curtis Center garage beside the reception venue (a 5-7 minute walk to the church).

Question

Where should I go between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The church is located in Philadelphia’s Historic District, so there are a lot of sites to see in the area, such as Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the First Bank of the United States etc. all within a 2-5 minute walk. Please see our Things to Do page on the website for additional places to check out in the area. A few restaurants near the church and reception are Independence Beer Garden, P.J Clarke’s at the Curtis, and Positano Coast. The reception is a 7 minute walk from the church, 4 minute drive, or a 5 minute public transit ride.

Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the ceremony.
