FAQs

Below are the answers to some frequently asked questions. Please contact us at hagertyarcherwedding@gmail.com if you have a question not listed below.
Question

What are your COVID-19 contingency plans?

Answer

If we’ve learned anything over the past 2 years, it is to be flexible. Currently, the Kimmel Center (where we are hosting the ceremony and reception) requires proof of vaccination and masks upon entry. Masks are optional once guests are upstairs in the venue space. We encourage everyone to make the best choice for them and their family and completely understand if you do not feel comfortable attending the wedding, even if you have already RSVP'd as attending. We have organized a livestream of the ceremony for those who are unable to attend in person. If you feel unwell or are exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the days leading up to the wedding, please take a PCR test prior to your attendance. Thank you for your understanding and please email us at hagertyarcherwedding@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

Question

What is required for entry into the Kimmel Center?

Answer

All guests over the age of 18 are required to bring: A Photo ID (e.g., driver's license); Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination (this could be a photo of your vaccination card), and; a Face Mask. Guests under the age of five do not need to show a negative PCR test. Once you are upstairs in the Hamilton Garden for the ceremony, masks are optional.

Question

Will I need to be vaccinated against COVID-19? If yes, do I need to bring proof of vaccination to the wedding?

Answer

Yes, the Kimmel Center requires all visitors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (not including boosters) with proof of vaccination upon entry. Valid proof of vaccination includes: vaccination card or a photo or digital copy of proof of vaccination. Children under 5 do not need to show proof of a negative COVID test if they are accompanied by a vaccinated adult (this is a change from their previous policy). If you have questions about this policy, please feel free to email us at hagertyarcherwedding@gmail.com.

Question

Are masks required?

Answer

Masks are required to enter the Kimmel Center due to their event policy. However, since we are hosting a private event, masks are optional as soon as you are upstairs in the Hamilton Garden (where we are hosting both the ceremony and reception). We encourage everyone to make the most comfortable choice for them.

Question

Will I need to be tested for COVID-19 before attending?

Answer

We ask guests to use their best judgment in the days leading up to the wedding and ask that you take a COVID-19 PCR test if you are feeling unwell prior to your arrival or had a known exposure.

Question

If I am unable to attend in person, how can I access the livestream?

Answer

We will email all guests who are not able to attend the wedding with a link to the livestream for the ceremony, which will take place on Saturday, June 4 at 5:00 p.m. EDT. Stay tuned!

Question

Where can I park for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

If you are staying at the Bellevue Hotel, you can self park at 220 South Broad Street for $32 per night (excluding in and out privileges) or use valet parking at the 1415 Chancellor Court entrance off Broad Street for $53 per night (including in and out privileges).

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive between 4:30 – 4:45 p.m. to allow time for all guests to use the elevator before the processional starts at 5:00 p.m.

Question

What time does the reception end? Is there an After Party?

The reception ends at 10:30 p.m. All guests are invited to join us for an informal After Party on the 19th Floor at the Bellevue Hotel, which is two blocks away from the Kimmel Center.

Question

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will both take place indoors within the Kimmel Center. The cocktail hour includes an outdoor balcony option for guests to enjoy their drinks and hor d’oeuvres overlooking Broad Street.

Question

Is there a dress code for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes, the dress code for the ceremony and reception is semi-formal. All other activities (Welcome Drinks; Sunday Brunch) are casual.
