Our wedding ceremony will start at 5:30 PM ET on Friday, October 11, 2024. It will be followed by a cocktail hour and dancing the night away!

Both our ceremony and reception will be at the Fairmount Water Works, 640 Waterworks Dr, Philadelphia, PA 19130. It is seated right next to Boat House Row and behind the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Our ceremony will be in a covered outdoor setting, The Grand Pavilion. An open-air space surrounded by Neo-Classical Grecian Pillars and a stone roof, The Grand Pavilion will keep us protected from any potential rain. However, it is seated right on the Schuylkill River which can cause wind drafts. We would recommend bringing a shawl or a nice sweater just in case. For cocktail hour, we will have full access to the Engine House, as well as the many decks overlooking the river. Lastly, our reception will be at the Mill House Deck, a clear top covered wedding space with dinner and dancing!

We recommend arriving to the venue between 15-20 minutes ahead of time. We are seated right along the Schuylkill River Trail as well as right behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art, both of which are beautiful to walk around, enjoy nature and sculptures, and take pictures before you find your seats for the ceremony.

In the words of the Great Magic Conch Shell, "No." We will be having an Unplugged Ceremony where we will ask guests to put away all phones and cameras, as we would like you all to enjoy the moment with us. We also have a wonderful photographer in Days Away Creative, and videographer in Philly Wedding Films who will provide top notch documentation of our ceremony.
