Yes! We have a hotel block reserved at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square (2-3 block walk from the venue). Please use the link under "Accommodations" or mention 'Boyle/Ruch wedding block' when booking to reserve the best room rate.
We spend too much time behind our screens - constantly on social media or hammering away on a keyboard for 40 hours each week. It's time to take a break and be in the moment during the ceremony and important parts during the reception. We ask that folks refrain from using phones, tablets, and cameras during these important times. We have hired a phenomenal team of photographers to capture these moments so we can remember them forever. So relax and let the pro's do the work! Unless your work has been featured on the cover of National Geographic, please refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony.
Tellus360, Annie Bailey's, and Shot & Bottle are great places to grab a drink and get the party started. If you're looking for something sweet, head to Max's Eatery for a milkshake, Lancaster Cupcake, or Rolled Cold Creamery! Need some extra caffeine before dancing the night away? Try Passenger Coffee & Tea Showroom or New Holland Coffee Co.
The ceremony location, Sacred Heart Church, is about one mile from the hotel and venue. There is a parking lot for the church at the corner of W Fulton St and Nevin St, but please carpool if possible because there are limited spots. Street parking is also available. The venue is a 3 block walk from the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square hotel.

Cocktail / Semi-formal attire We recommend a cocktail dress for the ladies and a suit and tie or a sport coat for the gents.

We're very fortunate to have so many friends and family that we want to share this day with, but unfortunately the venue space is limited. Please refer to the guests listed on your save to date envelope and RSVP card for details, and feel free to contact the Bride or Groom with specific questions.
