As our wedding is so close to the holidays, we thought it would be a fun chance for our family and friends to dress up! While our wedding is "Black Tie Optional", we want to emphasize that it is an *option*- please do not feel obligated to rent/ buy a new ensemble!
Please RSVP right here on our wedding website! Simply search your name, and let us know if you will be able to celebrate with us! This will also provide an opportunity to make us aware of any dietary restrictions/ allergies.
We would greatly appreciate if all guests could RSVP by November 10, 2023!
We have reserved a block of rooms at The Loew's Hotel- please visit the "Travel" tab for more information.
Yes and yes! There is a parking lot behind The Cathedral that will be available for guests. There is also parking available in The Wanamaker Building Garage (the same building that houses the Crystal Tea Room)! Complimentary parking is available in the garage under The Wanamaker Building for all of our guests from 4:00pm until 1:00am. The entrance to the garage is off of Juniper Street, between Penn Square and Chestnut Street. Bare right onto Juniper Street from Penn Square and the garage will be on your left.
There is a bit of a gap between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the cocktail hour. We want to give ourselves an opportunity for photos with our wedding party, while also allowing us to enjoy cocktail hour with all of our wonderful friends and family! Please take this time to freshen up at the hotel, explore Philadelphia, or visit one of the many fabulous bars and restaurants that can be found in Center City. We have included a few of our favorites on our wedding website under the "Things to Do" tab.
Funny you should ask! YES! For all interested, a 40-minute tour of the Cathedral will be provided for our guests immediately following the wedding Mass . Experiencing the history and beauty of the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is a special opportunity . Please meet after the ceremony in the back of the Cathedral in the vestibule area where a tour guide will meet everyone.
