Good To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear? +
Black tie attire, please — men, tuxedos preferable, with black suits and ties also okay. Women, floor length dresses. Both venues are indoor spaces, so heels are no problem; just bring a warm coat for the walk!
Is this an adults-only celebration? +
With love, we've kept the reception adults-only, with the exception of immediate family. We hope this gives parents a night off to celebrate with us.
Can I bring a plus-one? +
We're keeping the guest list close to family and close friends. Your invitation and RSVP form will note if a plus-one is included.
What happens if it rains? +
Both the ceremony and reception are indoors, so the celebration goes on regardless of weather. It'll be December in Philadelphia, though — pack a warm coat for the short transition between venues.
Is there parking and a shuttle? +
There will be a round-trip shuttle between both hotels and the Art Museum for the reception, with valet parking available at the Art Museum if desired. Parking at the Cathedral is restricted to street parking, and so walking or a taxi/Uber is preferable.
Who do I contact with questions? +
