This is a 18+ celebration. While we love your children, this is unfortunately not an event for them.
Due to our wedding budget, we are asking that no one brings unexpected guests since the venue will not be able to accommodate them. Plus ones have been included in the RSVPs and consist of spouses/life partners only. While your hottie may not have made our guest list, we're excited they made your list and would LOVE to gossip about them at the wedding *wink wink*
Please see travel section for a list of local hotels that are within a 10 minute drive of the venue. At this time we do not have a hotel block - but we are looking into it! We also encourage guests to reserve Airbnb if they prefer an apartment/house for lodging. The Vandiver Inn does have rooms on site but please note they have been reserved for the wedding party and close family.
The bridge and groom have placed a room block for the wedding party and family. In July, they will provide the venue with a final room assignment list of guests who are attending. Please call the front desk at (410)-939-5200 to officially reserve your room and provide your billing information. Rooms are $185 per night plus taxes. Any rooms not confirmed by September 7 (two months before the wedding) will not be guaranteed. If you have any questions, please call/text the bride Alexia at 267-441-5955.
We appreciate you wanting to share your love and generosity with us! Due to our apartment location in Philly, we do not recommend sending us packages as they may disappear before we have a chance to grab them. Since we are (kind of?) established in our lives and have a lot of home "stuff" already, what we would really appreciate is monetary gifts towards our honeymoon or first home down payment. Please see the Registry tab for more information. Want to send something directly to us? You can reach Alexia at 267-441-5955 or Jacob at 401-297-7330 and we're happy to explore options to get your gift safely to us!
Please plan on arriving at 3:30 pm. The ceremony will start promptly at 4 pm.
Yes. There is plenty of street parking and a small parking lot located behind the Vandiver Inn. Please be mindful though of streets that have hourly parking signs.
The reception will end at 9 pm. At 10 pm the Vandiver Inn will be closed and guests will be kindly asked to leave. The Inn is located in a residential neighborhood so we want to respect our neighbors!
The couple is coordinating to have complementary soda, wine and beer for guests. There will not be hard liquor available. If you are interested in drinking alcohol during the reception PLEASE bring your ID. The venue has informed us that IDs are required to be served.
The Inn has strict rules - no alcohol or smoking is allowed in guest rooms. If you would like to continue the party after the reception, we suggest heading over to the afterparty.
Vandiver Inn has a strict smoking policy. Guests are only allowed to smoke in the designated area behind the main mansion (the smoking gazebo is clearly marked). Please respect the policy as guests will be fined for breaking the rules.
