Our venue is located in Voorhees, New Jersey about 20-25 minutes from downtown Philadelphia or about 35 minutes from Philadelphia International airport. For anyone driving from out of area, many of the roads surrounding the venue are toll roads including the Atlantic City Expressway, as are ALL bridges leading into New Jersey. They are cash only. The bridges are unique in that tolls are only paid when you leave New Jersey, but not as you enter. If you are crossing from the Pennsylvania or Delaware side into New Jersey, you will not pay a toll on the bridge, however you will when you return.

Wedding hashtags are used for when photos are posted to social media platforms by guests attending our wedding. It allows you to search the unique hashtag and see any photos that have been posted throughout the event, including those leading up to it and those following it, anytime the hashtag is used. The hashtag acts as a label or tag for the photos taken by everyone, linking all of them in a type of virtual photo album. You can type the hashtag into social media search bars and see all the pictures that have been posted throughout the night. Our wedding hashtag is #majoredinlove and we invite you to use it when posting to your social media. It’s wonderful for us too because it gives us a candid look of our wedding and our wedding events. We fully intend, and are looking forward, to saving many of your photos in addition to the photos we receive from our photographer. Please help us create lasting memories, we are very much looking forward to celebrating with you!
