Philadelphia is where we met, where we live, and where we’re getting married. It’s a city that means so much to us, and we’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter here with you.
We’re Getting Married at
The Guild House Hotel!
The Guild House Hotel is more than just a place to stay & get married - it’s a beautifully restored National Historic Landmark that carries forward one of Philadelphia’s most meaningful stories of progress and empowerment for women.
Housed in a former 19th-century home of the New Century Guild, one of the earliest organizations in the United States dedicated to supporting working women, the building was originally a gathering place for women seeking education, community, and opportunity at a time when access to many public spaces and professions was still restricted. Founded in 1882 by suffragist and reformer Eliza Sproat Turner, the Guild became a hub for learning, advocacy, and connection, helping shape pathways for women in work and society.
