Welcome Party!
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 are encouraged.
If you’re looking for things to do and places to eat before the Welcome Party, check out the “Out of Towners” section.

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 or tuxes, 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
For our friends and family traveling to Philadelphia for our wedding, first of all: thank you! We are so happy you can join us. This section outlines the flights, hotels, and activities we recommend. If you have any questions, please reach out to us and we’re happy to help!
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!
Hotels
Philadelphia Marriott Old City
Our hotel block is at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City, and this is where the shuttle will pick up and drop off on the day of the wedding. This hotel is also a 10-minute walk to the Welcome Party location, as well as many other historic sites and delicious restaurants. Below are additional details for this hotel block.
Activities
We’re so excited to share Philly with you! Philadelphia has amazing restaurants, bars, history, and museums. There are a ton of great resources online to find exactly what you’re looking for, but here are a few of our favorite things that we hope you can check out while you’re here.
