Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Question

Answer

Yes, the venue can accommodate severe food allergies, so please let us know on your RSVP card, and tell your server the evening of the party.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code suggestion is Formal: Anything from suits to tuxedos, and cocktail dresses to gowns are welcome

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes. We will be providing a shuttle from The DoubleTree Hotel to the wedding ceremony at St. Rita's (and back again post ceremony). All guests who need to take the shuttle can get it in front of The DoubleTree, regardless if you are staying there. Both of our choice hotels are located right next to the venue, so no shuttles are needed to get to The Lucy for the party!

Question

Is there a deadline to book a room in the hotel blocks?

Answer

Yes! All room rates expire on February 24th, a month before the event. Please make sure to book a room ASAP if you want to stay in the block!

Question

What if the hotel block is full and no available rooms show?

Answer

Text Laura and/or Rocco ASAP and we will get more rooms added or send you a link to an alternative option.

Question

Do I have to stay in the hotel block?

Answer

Philly has many hotel and Air B&B options that are very centrally located, so you can choose to stay anywhere you like! If you'd like to stay at the hotel and the block is full, let us know and we can help. Also, if you choose to stay somewhere else in the city, you can still meet at the DoubleTree to take advantage of the shuttle to and from the church.

Question

Is there parking at your ceremony or reception venue?

Answer

Yes. We will provide complementary valet parking at The Lucy beginning at 12:30pm and ending at midnight (guests parking for the day can take the shuttle to the church for the Ceremony). Valet parking entrance is across the street from The Lucy on Locust Street, in front of The Standing O sign. St. Rita's also has a small free parking lot located around the corner at 15th and Federal. See the map linked in the Travel/Accommodations tab.

Question

Do I need a car in Philly?

Answer

We recommend parking your car for the weekend and taking advantage of public transportation, taxis/Uber/Lyft to get where you need to go. Also, downtown center city is very walking-friendly. If you are extending your stay and want to go somewhere a bit farther out (Valley Forge, King of Prussia, Jersey Shore), Philly is a very drivable region.
