Question

WHAT SHOULD I DO IN BETWEEN THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION?

If you’re planning to stay the night, we recommend checking into your room at the Hilton Garden Inn at this time. Then, you have your choice of options to grab a drink before cocktail hour. The Hilton Garden Inn has a bar downstairs, Firepoint is a short walk/ride from the hotel, and Uno Pizzeria, Casey's Pub House, and PJ Whelihan's are all a quick uber away!

Question

IS THERE A NEARBY HOTEL THAT YOU RECOMMEND?

Answer

Yes! We have secured a block of rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn in Newtown Square. It is conveniently located ~7 minutes from Saint Annies where our ceremony will take place and just around the corner from our reception venue. Please visit the Travel page to view details on the hotel block. We recommend booking early as October is a busy month for the Hilton :)
