Flight
Philadelphia International Airport
While NYC isn’t too far from PA, the PHL airport is just a quick hop over to the Manyunk area of Philadelphia. We recommend using Uber or SEPTA to get to your hotel!
Flight
Trenton-Mercer Airport
Sometimes you can find much cheaper flights in/out of the tiny Trenton airport. It’s about an hour from Manyunk but super close to Gene and Julia’s house!
Flight
JFK Airport
If you really want to go to NYC first instead of heading into Philadelphia, might we recommend the JFK Airport? If you only come down for the wedding day itself and don’t want to hang around for other activities on the other days, NYC has a lot to offer for entertainment. Also, you can just take the Amtrak line straight from Union Station to 30th St. and catch the local lines over to Manyunk.

Train
30th St Station
The big train hub in Philadelphia from which all the local regional rails run. Leave at least one hour of buffer time for all SEPTA travel and look at the train schedule to estimate your arrival time. Our public transport system is admittedly not the best, and it could very well be delayed, so please check the day of.
Train
SEPTA Day Pass
Don’t forget to look into the Individual Day Pass ($10 ish) or Family Day Pass (around $30.) From NJ/NY: $15+. These are good for up to 10 trips, so if you plan to do some sightseeing in the city on Saturday before the wedding, this is a great way to get around cheaply! And a well known secret within Philadelphia - the train conductors often won’t check your passes until you leave Center City!
Train
Manayunk-Norristown Line (SEPTA)
If you’re planning to take the train from 30th St. Station in Philadelphia, this line takes you into Manayunk. Then just walk or Uber until you reach the Main St./Green Ln. Intersection. The venue covers both corners under the bridge arch.
