Q & A

  • When Can I RSVP?

    You can RSVP on this website at any time. RSVPing also helps us with our plans (speaking with caterers, DJ, etc.). So please RSVP as soon as you are able!

  • What is the dress code?

    WEDDING: The wedding is Black-tie preferred. Come dressed to impress in your gowns or fancy dresses, tuxes or fancy suits, and ready to have an elegant, but fun night!

    WELCOME PARTY: Dress code is business casual. We suggest cocktail or mid-length dresses, snazzy jumpsuits, elegant separates, sport coat & pants, or suits.

  • What are the wedding colors?

    Our wedding colors are White, Wine Red, and Dark and Light Sage. Please refrain from wearing these colors, along with any shades of white/cream.

  • Can I bring a plus one?

    Due to the size limitations of the venue, only those listed on the invitation or those with invitations that listed “and Guest” may bring a plus one.

  • Where are the ceremony & reception being held?

    The ceremony and reception are both located in the Grand Belle Ballroom at the Bellevue Hotel in downtown Philadelphia.

    The venue is fully indoors, so weather is not a concern.

  • Is there parking at the venue?

    There is no parking at the venue, but a parking garage is right next to it. Also, Cambria and DoubleTree are connected, so if you’re staying there, you'll have parking availability as well.

  • Is transportation provided?

    No transportation is provided due to all connected hotels being within walking distance of the venue. Otherwise, Uber and Lyft are easily accessible in the area!

  • Will there be a hotel block?

    Yes. A block of rooms is available at the Bellevue Hotel (same location as the wedding venue), Cambria Hotel Philadelphia, DoubleTree Philadelphia Center City, and Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Philadelphia. See more info under the "Travel & Stay" tab of this website.

    Please complete your hotel reservation by July 28, 2026. Roomblocks can be set for 1 or 2 days.

  • How early can we arrive for the ceremony?

    Doors open at 4:30 PM. We ask that you arrive no later than 4:45 PM.

    The wedding will start promptly at 5:00 PM, and late guests will have to wait until the Happy Hour to be allowed into the wedding space.

  • Do you have a registry?

    Yes! You may check for items under ‘Registry’ tab. Please note that we plan to add more registry items in the coming weeks and months, so feel free to check back for more options! While we have registered for traditional gifts, we would also appreciate donations to our honeymoon or home purchasing funds. We'd greatly appreciate your donation!
