FAQs
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony/reception?
Answer
Yes - there will be shuttles making loops between the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, St. Paul's Church, and Ballroom at the Ben. Please refer to the Travel page for timing of the shuttles. Additionally, there will be free parking available across the street from St. Paul's during the ceremony.
Question
When should we RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by June 15 to the events specified on the website. If you have any issues, please reach out to Matt and Maggie.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code is black-tie optional -- we'd love to see you break out your tuxedo or gown, but suits and cocktail dresses are completely fine too! Additionally, please feel free to change in between the church and reception if you are more comfortable in a suit earlier in the day and want to break out the tuxedo later on.
Question
Can I bring a date and/or my kids?
Answer
Everyone invited will be included on the invitation. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Matt and Maggie.
Question
Will there be an after-party?
Answer
The after-party will be at Moriarty's Irish Pub (1116 Walnut Street) - it is three blocks from the Loews, and the shuttles will have a stop at Moriarity's after the reception.
Question
What should we do between the ceremony and reception?
Answer
We expect the ceremony to end around 3:30 PM, so there will be a two hour window between the end of the ceremony and the start of cocktail hour at 5:30 PM. There will be shuttles making a loop back to the hotel if you'd like to check-in/freshen up. If you'd like to explore a bit, this is a great time to check out Reading Terminal Market (walking distance to the hotels), or if you stay in the area of the church, the Italian Market is a block away. You can grab a cannoli to bring back home from Termini Bros or Isgro's Pastries, or just walk along 12th street where there's a bunch of shops/kiosks. There are also great beer gardens in proximity to the church and Ballroom at the Ben -- Independence Beer Garden and PHS Pop-Up Beer Garden are two to check out.
