Q + A

Are kids welcome?

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

What should I do if I can’t make it?

You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

The dress code for our wedding is formal/black tie optional. Ladies should wear either a cocktail dress, “little black dress”, dressy separates, or formal evening gown. Gentlemen should wear a jacket and tie or a traditional suit. No jeans, sneakers, polos, or t-shirts please.

Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?

Our ceremony will take place at St. John Chrysostom Catholic Church in Wallingford and our reception will take place at Appleford Estate in Villanova.

What time should I arrive?

We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes to an hour before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled!

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Our ceremony will be indoors at the church and our reception will be outdoors under a tented terrace equipped with fans. The Fieldstone Home will also be accessible during the reception and has air conditioning.

Is smoking allowed at the reception?

Appleford is a non-smoking property in accordance with Lower Merion Twp Code, Chap 109, Parks and Rec, Section 109-4.1. Please help us avoid a fine of $500 by not smoking on the property.

What happens after the ceremony?

Guests will have the opportunity to check in to the hotel, relax, and/or grab a drink at one of the many establishments in downtown Conshohocken before heading to the reception at Appleford. We will have multiple shuttles running from the hotel to and from the reception. We highly encourage guests to park at the Hotel West & Main garage and utilize the shuttle service to the reception even if they are not staying at the hotel to enjoy the after party at Hook & Ladder Sky Bar. *Please DO NOT go directly to the reception at Appleford ahead of the 5pm start time*
