More to celebrate

Saturday Morning

Aufruf & Lunch

A short morning service and a festive Shabbat lunch at Fishtown Chabad. Our traditions and community mean a lot to us, and we'd love to share this with you. Everyone's welcome.

What's an aufruf?

A Jewish tradition: on the Shabbat before the wedding, the groom is called up to the Torah for a blessing. It's short and joyful, and the lunch afterward is called a kiddush.

As it is Shabbat, we kindly request no photos or usage of cell phones.

Saturday Evening

Welcome Party

Drinks, sushi, and a chance to catch up before the big day, at Carpenters' Hall in Old City.

Sunday Evening

The Wedding

The big one. Ceremony, dinner, and dancing at Lilah. Come hungry. There's a lot of eating ahead with some of our favorite food in the city.

FAQ

What's the dress code?

You'll dress up a little more with each event.

  • Saturday Morning · Aufruf & Lunch

    Business casual

    Slacks and a collared shirt for men; a dress or skirt past the knee for women, with shoulders covered. A cardigan or wrap over a sleeveless dress does the job.

  • Saturday Evening · Welcome Party

    Cocktail attire

    A suit or sport coat, a cocktail dress or dressy separates. Wear shoes you can stand around in.

  • Sunday Evening · The Wedding

    Black tie optional

    Wear a tux or a gown if you'd like; a dark suit or an elegant cocktail dress works too.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Your invitation will say if you have a guest; if it does, you can add their name when you RSVP. Otherwise we're keeping it to the guests named on the invitation. Thanks for understanding.

Are kids welcome?

We love your kids, but we're keeping the celebration adults-only. If you need a hand sorting out childcare, ask us and we'll help you find a sitter.

What time should I arrive?

Doors open at 5:00 PM, and we'd love everyone seated by 5:25 so the ceremony starts at 5:30 PM sharp. The trolley from the hotel gets you there in good time; if you're making your own way, aim for 5:00.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Indoors, all of it. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception happen inside at Lilah, so October can do whatever it likes.

What are the parking and transportation options?

There's no parking at Lilah, so we're running a trolley to and from Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Old City, the same hotel as our room block. Hop on, or take an Uber straight to the door.

Where should I stay?

We've held a block of rooms for guests to book at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Philadelphia's Old City, and the wedding-day shuttle to Lilah runs from there. The block is available for Saturday and Sunday nights, checking out Monday. If you're coming in Friday, book that night separately. Rooms are held until September 16, 2026, just a few days after the RSVP deadline, so book early. There are plenty of other good hotels and Airbnbs nearby too, so find whatever suits you.

Find your invitation in the RSVP above to unlock your booking link.

When should we RSVP by?

By Sunday, September 13, 2026. The form is right on this page, and if the date gets past you, email us at rsvp@lokiproductions.org and we'll sort it out.

What about food and dietary restrictions?

Dinner is Lilah's own Israeli cooking. The venue comes from the CookNSolo team, and the food is some of our favorite in the city. The RSVP form has a spot for dietary restrictions and allergies; tell us there and the kitchen will take care of you.

How do we reach you?

Email us at rsvp@lokiproductions.org. It lands with both of us, and we'd rather you ask than wonder.
