Christina & Austin
Things To Do
Reading Terminal Market
Reading Terminal Market is one of the first places Christina showed Austin when they had their first city-date tour. Just a block away from the Loews Hotel, this historical and culturally driven spot is a great way to explore Philly’s local flavor. It is one of the oldest public markets in the country and has everything from fresh-baked Amish treats to classic Philly bites.
Independence Hall
If you're spending the weekend in Philly, you're in luck—this city is full of incredible historic sites to explore! Just steps from our venue, The Downtown Club, is Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and U.S Constitution were signed. It also happens to be the stunning backdrop for our cocktail hour, visible right outside the windows as you sip and celebrate! We highly recommend taking a guided tour to experience it up close. And right next door is Washington Square Park, a peaceful green space perfect for a stroll or a moment to relax and enjoy the warm weather.
Puttshack - Philadelphia
If you're spending time in the city and looking for a fun activity, Puttshack is one of Christina and Austin’s top picks! Mini golf has been a constant in their relationship, and Puttshack takes it to a whole new level. With creative twists like drum sets and cup pong-inspired challenges, each course offers a unique and exciting spin that keeps the game feeling fresh and fun.
Bellini
If you're browsing Christina and Austin's wedding website, you've probably heard of Bellini. It's a favorite spot of theirs in the city, well-known among friends and family. If you haven’t dined there with them, chances are they’ve recommended it. They first discovered Bellini during a holiday outing with Christina’s brother, Ryan, and were instantly impressed—not just by the exceptional food, but by the warm, attentive service from their server Mike and owners Parid and Kris. It quickly became their go-to for celebrations—or even a casual Tuesday night. For a delicious meal with outstanding service, Bellini should be your first stop. Bonus: it’s just a short walk from Rittenhouse Square, perfect for a post-dinner stroll.
Prunella
If you're looking for a charming spot to enjoy a shared pizza and a refreshing cocktail—whether in a cozy indoor setting or a covered outdoor area—Prunella is a wonderful choice in the city. This sweet little restaurant holds a special place in Austin and Christina's hearts, as it's where they had lunch just before he proposed. One of the best things about Prunella is its unbeatable location. If there's a wait for a table, you're in luck—13th Street is packed with fantastic alternatives all within the same block. Craving Asian flavors? Head to Sampan or Double Knot. In the mood for Mediterranean? Barbuzzo is just around the corner. Wherever you land, you're guaranteed a great meal.
