After you’ve had the day to explore Philly, join Marisa + Matthew for beer, wine, and dessert at the Moshulu, a historic boat permanently docked on the Delaware River. The dress code is casual cocktail, and Hawaiian shirts and tropical prints are encouraged.

The Big Day!
Today is the day! The ceremony will begin at 5:30 pm, followed by a cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing (plus hot dogs if you stay late enough).
Dress to impress, but also dress to party.
The dress code this evening is “funky formal”. We encourage bright colors, sequins, and fun textures. If there’s an outfit you’ve been itching to wear, now is the time to wear it! Black suits, colorful suits, long dresses, and mid-length dresses are all welcome. Please avoid wearing white.
Traveling to the venue
Knowlton Mansion is about a 30-minute drive from the city. There will be a complimentary shuttle available for guests, picking up and dropping off at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City. If you’re interested in taking the shuttle, please be sure to include that in your RSVP. Shuttle times will be shared closer to the event.
For Out of Towners
Flights
We recommend flying into Philadelphia International Airport. It’s a 10-20 minute taxi or Uber ride to Old City, the neighborhood where we recommend you stay.
Newark Airport often has very budget-friendly flights, and you can take a train from the airport, right to 30th Street Station in Philly. It’s an hour train ride, but it goes by quickly!
