The Wayne Music Festival will be held on Saturday, June 10th (so nice of them to throw us a party for our wedding!). The event attracts about 10,000 people and runs all day, so feel free to stop by before the wedding if you want. We recommend walking from the hotels as it will be hard to park. Keep in mind that this music festival will impact travel to the wedding, so please plan accordingly and leave a little earlier!
Valley Forge was the site of the 1777-78 winter encampment of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. There are 3,500 acres of monuments, meadows, and trails to explore. You can hike, bike, and tour the encampments.
Highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, or drinks! A few blocks from the wedding venue and Courtyard Marriott. This Italian culinary destination and marketplace features delicious displays and immersive food shopping experiences. Inspired by Italian Market legacy and old-world European food markets, guests can taste and sip their way through this culinary adventure.
This is the third largest mall in America, so if you're looking for an indoor activity and shopping is your thing, this is your place!
If you'd like to go into Philly and want to take public transportation, there are many train stations in the general area, all on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale line. The Strafford and Wayne stations are both close to the hotels on the Accommodations page. You can also drive in pretty easily. Once you get to Philly, here are a few ideas for things to do: - The Liberty Bell & Independence Hall: The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were both signed at Independence Hall - The Philadelphia Museum of Art: Run up the steps like Rocky, then visit some of the 200+ galleries housed in this Philly landmark - Reading Terminal Market: With over 80 stalls, Reading Terminal Market is a great place to grab a bite to eat
Right around the corner from the wedding venue and the Courtyard Marriott. Grab some breakfast before you head out!
Right in the heart of Wayne – go for breakfast!
A great little outdoor shopping/restaurant area close to the hotels -- tons of stores, coffee shops, places to eat, and a farmers market!
Delicious, farm to table food nearby the wedding venue and hotels!
Depending on your hotel, you're either right in the heart of Wayne or just a 5-10 min drive away. Great little town for walking, shopping, and grabbing a bite to eat!
Right down the street from the hotels and the wedding venue.
A public garden space, free of charge and nice for a walk!
