Travel
Arriving by Plane
Philadelphia International Airport is 12 miles away from our venues and hotels. It is roughly a 20 minute drive (with no traffic, but since this is Philly, there will probably be traffic) from Old City.
Uber, Lyft, and taxi fares are typically about $30-35 each way to and from the airport.
Arriving by Car
Free garage parking will be available at the National Constitution Center garage, accessible from Race Street between 5th and 6th Streets, on Saturday. The garage is reserved exclusively for wedding guests after 5 p.m., but you are free to park prior to 5 p.m. alongside the public if there are spots available. Cars must vacate the garage by midnight.
Please note that it is a 3.5 block walk from the NCC to Old St. Joseph’s Church.
If driving directly to the ceremony, please adhere to the parking guidelines outlined by the church — including a printable parking pass for your windshield — linked here. The church does not have its own parking lot and any available free parking will be on the street.
Valet parking is available for guests of the Hotel Monaco for $59 per night, or $65 per night for guests of the Renaissance.
Self parking is not available at either hotel, but can be found at various parking garages around the neighborhood. It’s encouraged that you use an app such as SpotHero or ParkMobile to reserve self-parking should you need it.
Arriving by Public Transit
The hotels and wedding venues are accessible by foot from the 5th Street / Independence Mall station on SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Line, or the Franklin Square station on PATCO’s High Speed Line from New Jersey.
The venues are also accessible via several SEPTA bus lines, and Amtrak’s 30th Street Station is a quick ride away via Uber, Lyft, taxi, or SEPTA.
