Travel Note

Arriving By Car

There are not quite enough parking spaces available for every guest to drive individually, so please carpool with friends or family if it's easy to arrange. Follow Google Maps or Apple Maps instructions to "Awbury Arboretum" (on Awbury Road). Once you have turned into the park, turn left at the fork to follow the sign for "wedding buses". There will be an attendant directing you to the parking lot. Please allow 10 minutes to walk from your car to the ceremony site. Guests with disabilities or special equipment will be directed to a closer lot. The venue staff will be monitoring both lots throughout the event.

Train

SEPTA Regional Rail - Chestnut Hill East

For Philadelphia residents/people staying in the city: there is a Regional Rail stop right next to the Arboretum's property. The station is called Washington Lane and it's on the Chestnut Hill East line (CHE) which stops at Jefferson, Suburban, and 30th. It's more useful for getting home from the event than getting there, since the Sunday schedule currently operates only every 2 hours. The 8:44pm departure could save you a cab ride home!
