While the official wedding ceremony start time is 6:30 pm sharp, we recommend guests arrive at The Franklin Institute by 6:15 pm, which will give you enough time to be escorted up to the ceremony space within the museum called Pepper Hall.
The Franklin Institute parking garage entrance is conveniently located behind the museum at the intersection of 21st Street and Winter Street. Please note that the garage has a height limit of 6'5" and offers limited parking for oversized vans, trucks, and SUVs. For guests arriving before the evening of November 30, 2024, parking is available at The Franklin Institute for a fee of $25+ per vehicle. This one-time fee allows you to leave your car in the garage for as long as needed. For those arriving on the evening of November 30, 2024, parking is complimentary at The Franklin Institute. You may also leave your car in the parking garage overnight (or longer). The garage provides 24/7 access, allowing guests to retrieve their cars at any time. When exiting the parking garage, simply scan the parking pass you received upon entry. If you misplace your parking pass, press the call button at the gate and mention that you attended the Tatlow/Lynch wedding on November 30, 2024, and the gate will be opened for you. The GPS address for the parking garage entrance is: 271 North 21st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103

The dress code for the wedding is Black-Tie. We are encouraging Black-Tie attire (Tuxedos or Evening Gowns), but we understand that not everyone may have access to formal attire such as tuxedos or evening gowns, and we want to alleviate any pressure while still encouraging our guests to dress their best. We invite you to wear your most elevated ensembles. The key is to dress in a manner that makes you feel fabulous and celebratory!
