FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by January 15, 2026.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We’re keeping it simple! Our registry is a honeymoon fund (click "Registry" for more info). If you’d prefer to send a traditional gift, you’re welcome to mail it to us at 645 S Orange St, Media, PA 19063.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Polished but relaxed. Look great, feel comfortable, and if you want, be ready to dance. But if you really want some guidance, here are some suggestions: Midi or wrap dress, or a chic jumpsuit in bold fabrics. A strapless, backless classical little black dress. Wool slacks or cotton chinos with button-down; add a blazer. Block heels or dressy flats—skip stilettos. Loafers or dress boots with cushioned soles. Light shawl or cropped jacket (stay warm). Stretch fabrics for easy movement. Statement earrings, small clutch, and a say-something hat. We will NOT have a photographer.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We adore your kiddos, but this celebration is designed for grown-up vibes. To keep things relaxed, we kindly ask for an adults-only evening.

Question

Is the venue accessible?

Answer

Asian Arts Initiative is designed as a mobility accessible facility, with elevator access to the reception area. Chairs will be available during the event. Both non-gendered and individually isolating restrooms are available.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is no dedicated parking; only limited street parking nearby. We strongly encourage guests to take public transit (the venue is close to SEPTA stops: Race/Vine on the Broad Street Line or the Chinatown stop on the Broad-Ridge Spur; the 23 and 45 buses stop right next door) or use rideshare options, like Lyft. Taxis are also available in the area. This way, you can relax and enjoy the evening without worrying about parking.

Question

Recommended hotels?

Answer

Here are a few great options just steps from the Asian Arts Initiative: Home2 Suites by Hilton – Convention Center (0.3 mi) – Spacious suites and a stones throw from Reading Terminal Market. Hilton Garden Inn Center City (0.3 mi) – Central location, easy walk to Chinatown and Market East. Hampton Inn Center City (0.2 mi) – Budget-friendly and close to everything. The Notary Hotel, Autograph Collection (0.2 mi) – Historic charm with modern amenities. Philadelphia Marriott Downtown (0.2 mi) – Ideal for groups. If you want to stay outside of the city, we recommend the brand new Hilton Garden Inn near us in Media, PA, or the DoubleTree by Hilton in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

We’re keeping things easy. Our only planned event is the wedding reception. No formal dinners or extra activities, just time to celebrate together. But since you’ll be in Philadelphia for the weekend, we encourage you to make the most of it. The city is packed with incredible restaurants, bars, and shops, so treat yourself to a great meal or explore a new neighborhood before or after the reception.
