FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please give yourself plenty of time to find parking and make your way to your seat by 1:00 PM.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is "Garden Formal Attire" meaning we'd love to see you in vibrant, fun, comfortable dresses and suits--basically wear anything but black! Men, ties are not required, but a button-up shirt and pants is plenty formal enough if a suit-jacket might be too warm in the sun. Since we're celebrating in grass, we suggest comfortable, practical shoes! Don't feel obligated to wear heels.

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

Yes! Our hotel block is at 4100 Presidential Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19131. To reserve a room for $189 per night in our hotel block, use the booking link provided by May 6, 2025.

Question

Why the Wyck?

Answer

We want to get married in a place with natural beauty that we can revisit in years to come. We like the Wyck Garden because it’s an uncommon venue where we can marry under the sun and relax among the roses. Our friend, Jackson, is the head gardener at the Wyck. We feel that his love and attention to the garden and grounds is akin to the love and attention we put into cultivating our relationship.

Question

Is this an indoor-outdoor garden? Where can we go to cool off?

Answer

Our rental is completely outdoors so please know there is no air-conditioning. To keep us out of the sun (or rain) we are renting a tent that can fit our whole group! Please dress comfortably for the weather, and stay hydrated throughout the day. But don't worry, indoor plumbing is available in the garden's restrooms!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There's no guest parking lot at the Wyck, since this house predates the invention of the automobile. We suggest carpooling and ride-sharing where possible. If you stay in the hotel block, we will have two shuttle trips to transport guests to the venue, 12:00pm and 12:40pm. If you do drive to the venue, you can expect some free street parking along W. Walnut Lane, E. High Street, and the surrounding residential neighborhood. Metered parking is available along the Germantown Avenue commercial corridor.

Question

What will we be eating?

Answer

We will be served food from a local favorite of ours, Taqueria Morales. We will be doing our best to accommodate all dietary restrictions, so please make sure you have them included in your RSVP!

Question

I wanna monogram something, is Val changing her last name?

Answer

No, her last name is awesome, too, and she plans to keep it. If you like putting initials on stuff, we like V & C.
