Important Note: I last checked these rates January 14th for the exact weekend (April 19-21, 2002) of the wedding. Neither I nor the hotels can guarantee that the rates will be *exactly* what I have listed here. The information I've gathered is meant to be informative and as helpful as possible, but I highly recommend that you double-check rates on the website and/or by calling the hotel yourself, once you think you've decided on accomodations. With that said, may your stay be pleasant, and enjoy Philadelphia as much as you can while you're here!

The wedding party and immediate family will be staying in the Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown Marriott. (See below)
