We recommend flying into Philadelphia International Airport. It’s a 10-20 minute taxi or Uber ride to Old City, the neighborhood where we recommend you stay. 

Newark Airport often has very budget-friendly flights, and you can take a train from the airport, right to 30th Street Station in Philly. It’s an hour train ride, but it goes by quickly!

As we have already built a life together, we kindly request no gifts. Should you wish to celebrate with a gift, we would be honored by a donation to our honeymoon fund, which will help us create unforgettable memories.

Alternatively, please consider making a donation to Friends of Moyer Street Park. FoMSP is a nonprofit that is building a park in our neighborhood, hopefully breaking ground in late 2025. Adding green space to the neighborhood is an initiative that is near and dear to our hearts, as Marisa is a board member and Matthew is an active volunteer at FoMSP.
