FAQs

Question

May I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to our venue capacity we have specific guest limitations. Please refer to your addressed envelope!

Question

Where should I enter the venue?

Answer

The venue is located at the corner of 9th & Chestnut Streets. Please use the side entrance on 9th Street (to the left of Di Bruno Bros.)

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

If staying the night: Loews offers valet parking for $45/night. There are in/out privileges for parking at the Loews. If you would prefer to use a self-park lot, there are numerous options close to the hotels and venue. Please keep in mind that most self-park lots do not allow for in/out privileges. A few that we recommend include: - East Market Garage - 12th & Walnut Garage - 12th & Filbert Garage You can find more options by downloading the ParkWhiz App. If traveling in for the day: There is a self-park lot directly across the street from the venue at 909 Sansom Street.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The event will be Black Tie Optional. Black Tie Optional is slightly less formal than black-tie. So, a tuxedo isn't required, but the event is still formal enough for one to be appropriate. Women, please feel free to wear whatever you feel comfortable in: a floor-length gown, a cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit. Men have the option of wearing a tuxedo, but do not have to!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
