With so many guests coming from long distance, we felt it was appropriate to have a get together the day before so all can catch up, unwind from travels, and relax. There will be a variety of light snacks, beer, wine, and cocktails.
The welcome party will still be held in the event of rain. It will be at the same location indoors. There is plenty of indoor space if needed so we still encourage all to attend! Fingers crossed the weather cooperates!
You will have two options when arriving to the welcome party. First option - recommended for Ubers and those that struggle with longer distance walking - arrive at 617 Righters Ferry Rd, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 - which is the address for the venue. There is a parking lot at this location which could be limited as the space is shared with a hotel and restaurant. Second option - recommended for those driving from the Manayunk area - you can drive to 3720 Main St, Manayunk, PA 19127 and park near the Pencoyd bridge (free parking). You can then walk across the Pencoyd bridge and you will enter directly at the event.
The venue is located in notoriously poor parking Manayunk. Thankfully, the venue provides a valet service. Should you choose to drive to the ceremony and reception, as you arrive to the location, there will be a red umbrella and sign labeled valet. You can pull in to that area and the valet service will handle all parking. This service comes at no additional cost to you.
The venue has an elevator that travels between each floor and can be used by anyone!
Unfortunately, we will not be providing a shuttle or any other form of transportation assistance. The venue is about a 6 mile/10 minute drive from the hotel. We want everyone to have a great and safe time. There should be an abundant amount of Uber/Lyft cars available and would encourage all to explore that option for themselves and their additional guests. For those who really want to embrace the city life style, there is a train stop approximately .1 miles from the venue. If you take that train west, in about 20 minutes, you will be at the Conshohocken stop, which is approximately .2 miles from the hotel. If this is an option you are interested in, we would encourage you to ask the hotel about the logistics of the train and it's schedule.
It is not. The after party will be located in the hotel block lobby bar. The happy couple has no obligation toward usage of the bar. If you plan to attend, please remember that drinks and food will come out of pocket. While it is not a formal party of the celebration, we believe there will be plenty of participation and encourage all who wish to come hang!
