Since the church is right in the heart of Philadelphia's Rittenhouse district, there will be NO PARKING AVAILABLE ON SITE. We recommend arriving by taxi/uber from your hotel or walking. All the recommended hotels are within 10 minutes walking to St. Mark's Church and The Union League (reception). St. Mark's Episcopal Church was founded in the mid-19th Century. The building was built by John Notman in the Gothic Revival style between 1847 and 1849, based on an original design by English architect Richard Cromwell Carpenter. The tower is one of about fifty in North America hung for change ringing, with a ring of eight bells.

Black Tie Optional
The reception is a 7min walk (3 blocks) from St. Mark's Church. There will be trolleys available from the church to the Union League for anyone who wants to save their feet for the dance floor! The Union League of Philadelphia was founded on November 22nd, 1862, as a patriotic society to support the Union and the abolitionist policies of President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. The club's building, a Second Empire-style structure with a brick and brownstone façade, was designed by John Fraser and completed in May 1865. The opening was originally scheduled for March of that year, with President Lincoln in attendance, but was delayed due to wartime construction supply shortages. Christopher Stuart Patterson, formerly the Dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, was the 13th President of the Union League in 1897 and 1898.
