FAQs
Question
Formal Attire??
Answer
While the invitations note formal attire, please know that tuxes are not required. Suits and cocktail dresses are welcome!
Question
What's the parking situation?
Answer
There is a garage shared between the museum and the Hilton. This will be your best option, but unfortunately, this is a paid lot which is not owned by the Seaport Museum. Self-park cost should be $55.13 or you can valet at the Hilton entrance for $67.38. Alternatively, DRWC Walnut Street Parking Lot offers parking at a $20 daily rate. Just a little bit more of a walk!
Question
Will a shuttle be provided?
Answer
We only have a block reservation at the Hilton at Penn's Landing which is directly next to the ISM; a 3 minute walk entrance to entrance. Therefore, transportation is not necessary nor provided.
Question
Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?
Answer
We only have a block reservation at the Hilton at Penn's Landing which is directly next to the ISM. If you would like to explore other options, there is a Holiday Inn Express half a mile down the road but we will be unable to provide transportation.
Question
Are plus-ones and children allowed?
Answer
We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, as we'd like to keep the guests list just to those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.
Question
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Our ceremony will be held on the 4th floor balcony which is outdoors but covered with a tent. Our cocktail hour and reception will be indoors. Cocktail hour will be in the museum's main exhibit and our reception will be in the ballroom on the 4th floor, with access to the balcony. All event spaces are wheelchair accessible.
Question

Answer
