We’ll say ‘I do’ at Megan’s childhood parish, adjacent to her grade-school, in the same pews she sat in for her first holy communion and 8th grade graduation, where she’s spent countless Sundays and where Danny & Megan have celebrated Christmas Eve Mass throughout their time dating. St. Joseph’s has plenty of parking and is located at 500 Woodlawn Avenue in Collingdale, 19023.
Our ceremony will start at 2p, so arriving to the church by 1:45p to ensure you have time to park, find your seat and get settled is your best bet.
They call this ‘the catholic gap,’ but not to worry - we’ve got you covered. You’ll spend about 45 minutes driving from the church to Mendenhall, and then if you’re planning to party hard and stay the night, this is when we’d recommend checking into your room. If not, head over to Alexander’s Bar (at Mendenhall) and get yourself a cold one in anticipation for cocktail hour.
Mendenhall Inn on 323 Kennett Pike in Mendenhall, PA 19357, right off of Baltimore Pike/Route 1. Our reception will be in the Grand Ballroom (down the driveway, past the hotel, bar & restaurant) and there’s plenty of parking on the property.
Wedding attire is semi-formal. For the ladies, cocktail dresses, floor length dresses or chic jumpsuits all fit the bill. For the gents, suits and ties. Comfort and feeling your best are strongly encouraged.
We’ve reserved a room block for our guests at Mendenhall Inn, located on the same property as our reception hall. Even though it seems super early to do so, we recommend booking as soon as you know you’re coming, as there’s another wedding being held the same night and a limited number of rooms. Give them a call at 610 388 1181 and mention you’re booking with the Monachino Clement wedding for our discounted rate!
Of course there is! We don’t want the night to end. Once they kick us out, head over to Alexander’s Lounge & enjoy pizza on us. If you’re staying at Mendenhall, feel free to stop in your room and trade your heels and dress shoes for something more comfy - we definitely will be!
We want this to be as convenient as possible for you! Check out the RSVP tab, enter the name on your invitation & let us know if you’re coming and what you’ll be eating.
Absolutely - please let us know if you have any type of dietary restrictions when you RSVP.
Although we love your kiddos, we’re limited on space so make it a date night! We’re hopeful that this advance notice means you’ll be able to share in our big day and enjoy the night off.
Feel free to reach out to us!
