Our stateside wedding reception will be held at the College of Physicians Philadelphia in a beautiful Beaux-Arts style building surrounded by a medicinal herb garden. The building, constructed in 1908 and designed by Cope and Stewardson, has the unique distinction of being home to the oldest medical society in the country (founded in 1787). Additionally, the college is also home to the Mütter Museum, which many of our friends will recognize as a place that holds some special interest to us. As our guests, you will be able to access the museum for free, along with joining us for drinks in their lush courtyard followed by our handfasting ritual, dinner, and a variety of entertainment to cap off the evening.
Check out the CollegeOur reception will be held on the evening of the 12th of October.
Please arrive at 5pm for cocktail hour and feel free to stay until 10pm. We will have dinner, some circus entertainment, and tunes from local legend DJ Mass during that time.
