Friends, Family, Frenemies, and Other Loved Ones

Emily and I are extraordinarily excited for you to join us in Philadelphia next weekend. It’s been a long road to this celebration, but we’re ninety feet from home. Here are a few things we’d like to share with you before we get the party started.

First, please be sure to take a COVID test before you leave for the city of Brotherly Love. If you test positive, please stay home. We’ll find another time to celebrate with you, we promise.

Wedding festivities begin Saturday night with an informal rehearsal dinner at the Roy Pitz Barrel House (990 Spring Garden Street), hosted by my grandmothers, Dolly Kopin and Yaira Shapiro. The dinner is scheduled from 6-9, but feel free to come and go as you please!

The big event will be held on Sunday evening at the Fairmount Park Horticultural Center (100 N Horticultural Dr.). The ceremony will begin at 5:30, with drinks, dinner and dancing to follow! Dress is cocktail attire. Transportation will be provided to and from the Logan Hotel (One Logan Sq.); shuttles will run to the Hort from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, and back to the Logan at the end of the night. If you would like to drive yourself, there is parking on-site and you are of course welcome to utilize a taxi or ride-share service.

Finally, if you don’t have to rush home, a farewell breakfast will be available at Aloft Downtown (101 N. Broad) from 8 AM – 10 AM on Monday morning.

If you’re looking for recommendations for things to do while you’re in the city, please check out the wedding website or be in touch. If you're looking for a good bookstore, go visit Iffy Books on 11th St, operated by our friend and officiant Steve McLaughlin.

We’ll see you soon!
