Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes, definitely! Please RSVP for your children and let us know if your invite didn’t include the children that will be attending with you. Please let us know if your kid wants to sit at a kids table or if we should assign them to sit with you.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes! We recommend that our guests stay in Old City at one of the following Hotels: Hotel Monaco, Hilton Penn’s Landing, or the Wyndham. We have hotel blocks at all three. If you'd like to stay within walking distance of our venue, the Lokal Hotel Fishtown is a great option. There are plenty of other beautiful hotels in Philadelphia which you are welcome to stay at but travel to our venue in Fishtown will be slightly more challenging. Please be cautious when booking an Airbnb near Fishtown since the surrounding areas are not safe. You can find more information on the Lodging & Travel page.
