Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to the limited capacity of our wedding venue, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally listed on the wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, both names will appear on the RSVP. Additional guests who have not been invited will be turned away at the reception. If you need clarification, reach out to us separately. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Yes, if their name appears on the invitation, they are most certainly invited. However, space is limited based on our venue and unfortunately not all little friends will be able to join. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Question

Is there a break between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes- we have allotted two hours between the ceremony and the reception for wedding photos. The cocktail hour begins at 2:30pm at Awbury Arboretum. Feel free to enjoy a snack or drink at: - Santucci's (655 N Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19123) - Jack's Firehouse (2130 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130) - Thirsty Dice (1642 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130)

Question

What is parking like at the Church of the Gesu?

Answer

There are two gated parking lots at 18th and Girard. For guests who need a shorter walk, please pull through onto 18th and drop off then continue to park. This is an active side street and we want to limit disruption.

Question

Is there guest parking at the Awbury Arboretum?

Answer

Yes! There is a private access closed road for all Nowak-Avington wedding guests. This street will be monitored throughout the afternoon and early evening. Please direct your GPS to 1 Awbury Road and the parking attendants can assist in parking.
