Where to stay while you're here...


ACCOMODATIONS
Valley Green, the inn where our wedding will be held, is only 10 minutes away by car from Center City, or "downtown" Philadelphia. If you wish to stay in a hotel that is in the city but not too far from the wedding venue, we recommend you check out hotels located in the "Parkway/ Museum Area." But Philadelphia is a small city, so whatever neighborhood you choose to stay in- Rittenhouse, Old City, Covention Center/Chinatown- you won't be too far away from the party! If you follow this link you can compare prices:

Another option is to rent someone else’s apartment through Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/s/Philadelphia--PA

A "bed and breakfast" located in Rittenhouse might also be to your liking:

The Chestnut Hill Hotel is outside of the city, only minutes away from Valley Green. With this option you would be prioritizing proximity to the wedding over easy accessiblity to downtown Philly. This is still a great option, as you would be able to get "downtown," but not by walking.

Please let us know how we can assist you in finding appropriate accommodations!

Some guests have asked about gifts...

We can honestly say that your presence at our wedding is the most amazing gift for both of us. If you still want to honor us with a present we would appreciate it if you could help support our honeymoon. This poem should explain:
 
A wishing well we thought would be great, 
but only if you wish to participate.
A monetary gift is placed in the well,
then make a wish… but shhh, don't tell!


We don't want to offend but we have it a lot,
cups and plates, a pan and a pot.
Things for the kitchen and living room too,
Mostly we want to celebrate with you.

So no need to shop, sit back and rest,
a gift of currency is our simple request.
Don't go overboard and rob any banks,
any little amount will earn our thanks. 

Now that we've saved you all the fuss,
we'd love for you to come and celebrate with us.

A wedding gift may be hard to find
and stressful on your busy mind, 
so if you please, a penny for our trip, would be ever so kind.
