Q + A

Do I need to book a hotel room for the entirety of the blocked dates?

Nope! You can book one or two nights depending on what you want to do! Hurry if you want to book a room, as hotel space is limited! If you don't want to snag a room in one of the blocks we've set up, feel free to book your own accommodations in Philadelphia.

What should I wear?

Semi-formal. No need for tux or floor length gowns (unless that’s your thing!) Wear whatever you feel makes you feel comfortable. The bridal party will be wearing burgundy, burnt orange, and mustard yellow.

How will we get from the ceremony to the reception?

Guests can either take a short walk down Broad Street to get from PAFA to Reading Terminal Market following the ceremony, or ride either of the available buses.

What can we expect at the reception?

Food is completely catered by a selection of vendors from Reading Terminal Market. The open bar will feature beers and spirits local to the Philadelphia area. There will be a DJ accompanied by a live drummer and saxophonist, so get your dancing shoes ready! There will also be a Photo Booth — silly poses are preferred!

Will transportation be provided after the reception?

Transportation will not be provided after the reception, but all of our hotel blocks are within a 5 minute walk or drive of Reading Terminal Market.

What's for dinner?

Stay tuned! We're curating a menu from the world famous Reading Terminal Market! We'll update this Answer once we've finalized the vendors and food choices. Rest assured — we're going to do out best to accommodate all tastes and diets!

What if we have dietary restrictions?

Food will be selected from across Reading Terminal Market. We are making our selections with all diets in mind, but please let us know if you have any specific needs or concerns. A specific menu will be finalized and posted in the weeks proceeding the big day!

Where should we park and what time does parking begin?

There is a self-parking garage that is located on Arch Street between 11th Street and 12th Street. It will be on the left-hand side, next to the Hilton Garden Inn. An automatic discounted rate of $10 per vehicle will be available for those who park in this parking garage after 6:00pm, which will expire after twelve consecutive hours. An automatic discounted rate of $12 per vehicle will be available for those who park in this parking garage before 6:00pm, which will also expire after twelve consecutive hours. For Google Maps, we recommend inputting: 1100 Arch Street Parking. This specific parking garage is titled “SP+ Parking” on Google Maps. For those using Uber, the address is 51 N 12th Street, Philadelphia. PLEASE NOTE: Discounted parking is not available at the parking garage that is titled Parkway. That non-applicable parking garage is located on 12th Street and positioned next to Maggiano’s Restaurant.

How to Enter Reading Terminal Market

Doors will open at 7:00pm. The event entrance will be Door Six of the Reading Terminal Market. This is located at the corner of 12th Street and Filbert Street and it's positioned right beneath the iconic Reading Terminal Market neon sign.
