Our Wedding

Mark and Gillian have been growing together since they began dating in 2014. We are so thankful to everyone in our lives that we will get to celebrate our special day with you, whether you were with us way-back-when, or if you've joined us in more recent years.

Where should I stay? Choose from one of two hotels we have hotel blocks reserved for: The <a href="https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1742302864071&amp;key=GRP&amp;app=resvlink" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SpringHill Suites Harrisburg Hershey</a> or <a href=" https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/deeplink/?ctyhocn=HARNOHX&amp;groupCode=CHHMKW&amp;arrivaldate=2026-04-24&amp;departuredate=2026-04-26&amp;cid=OM,WW,HILTONLINK,EN,DirectLink&amp;fromId=HILTONLINKDIRECT" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hampton Inn Harrisburg North</a>. Both hotels are located next door to one another, approximately 10-15 minutes away from the venue.

Will there be transportation to the venue? Yes! There will be two shuttles doing pick-ups outside the SpringHill Suites hotel and will leave at 3:45 p.m. Buses will begin leaving the venue for SpringHill Suites again around 9:30 p.m., with the last shuttle leaving around 10 p.m. Ubers are limited in this area, so we encourage you to utilize the buses if you plan to drink.

Can I make song requests? We will happily suggest your song requests, though Mark may shoot them down immediately. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1Vz3yakp9ZG1vtX9ybazSonYYk1CB9kNI02wNKpkxTqFuzg/viewform?usp=header" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Drop your song suggestions here</a>.

Will Darcey be in attendance? As much as we love our sweet-and-scared Goldendoodle, she will not be in attendance. We'll make sure she gets an extra Greenie or two while we're away.

What should I wear? You are welcome to wear any cocktail attire you would like. We're going for a Whimsical Tea Party vibe and hope you'll wear something you can twirl around in.

Travel

Visit Pennsylvania's Capitol building, often ranked as one of the most beautiful state Capitol buildings in the country. Formal tours of the Capitol run every 30 minutes M-F from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. You are <a href="https://www.pacapitol.com/plan-a-visit/tours.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">encouraged to book a tour in advance</a>, but not required. You don't have to take a tour, though. You can wander about on your own, and even visit Gillian's desk just off the Main Rotunda! (She definitely won't be there.) The Capitol is about a 15-minute drive from the hotels.

Take a waterfront walk along the Susquehanna River. Pictures hardly do this thoroughfare justice, and it will be perfect this time of year. Extra credit if you spot the tiny Statue of Liberty standing in the river!

Riverfront Park

Tickets start at $18. Go see the Washington Nationals' AA minor league team play on City Island, a true hidden gem!

Get a beautiful southcentral Pennsylvania hike in while you're in town. Detweiler Park is close by to our venue and hotels, only about a 10-minute drive away.
