FAQs

Question

Is there a requirement for Covid vaccination compliance?

Answer

Yes, The Lucy (our reception venue) is following current City of Philadelphia Covid guidelines which require each guest to show their vaccination card at the door.

Question

What if I’m not vaccinated or forgot my vaccination card?

Answer

Per the Covid guidelines established by the City of Philadelphia, staff at The Lucy will not be able to admit anyone without a vaccination card. You’ll be able to attend the wedding ceremony at St. John’s, but will not be able to attend the reception.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony at St. John’s?

Answer

Yes, there is public parking across the street from St. John’s in the Wanamaker Building. There is also parking at the Loews Hotel which is 2 blocks from the church. There is a discounted parking rate for Loews overnight guests so make sure you tell the front desk you’re part of the D’Luzansky/Neri wedding block when they validate your ticket.

Question

Will there be transportation to the ceremony at St. John’s?

Answer

Guests will need to find their own way to the ceremony. The church is only about 2 blocks from the Loews, so guests staying there can easily walk. Other guests should plan to use Lyft (more reliable in Philly than Uber) or drive and park in the Wanamaker garage across from the church.

Question

Is there parking for the reception?

Answer

Yes, there are many public parking garages in Center City near The Lucy. We recommend the garages at either the Doubletree or Cambria hotels as those are closest.

Question

What happens right after the ceremony?

Answer

The wedding party will be taking photos for an hour or so after the ceremony. During that time, guests can either return to their hotels or explore Center City until the reception starts at The Lucy at 5pm. We will be offering Cescaphe trolley service after the ceremony back to the Loews, Doubletree and Cambria hotels from St. John’s.
