Join Lawrence & Margaret

We officially got married in November at a tiny wedding in Quebec, but we still want to celebrate with all of our friends and family.

So this is our Happily Ever After Party! A boat bash of matrimonial merrymaking on May 23, 2026.

What to expect:

• Beautiful setting on the Delaware River (no, the boat won't be going anywhere).
• Live music, much dancing.
• Taco bar.
• Free beer, wine, soda, etc (until you spend all of our money).

Cocktail attire with a little sparkle is extremely welcome.

Champagne energy encouraged.

There is a block of rooms at the Hilton Philadelphia at Penn's Landing, steps away from the venue. Rooms are only blocked off until May 1 so if you want to stay there don't dilly dally.

• $259 per night, just mention our names for those rooms/rates.
• Phone: 215-521-6500

Other nearby hotels include the Holiday Inn Express - Penn's Landing, only a mile up the road.

• Phone: 215-627-7900

There are a number of Airbnb and VRBO options in the area. Look in Old City, Society Hill, or Queen Village to stay near the action.

We’ll add the best nearby garages/lots here (with links). For now:

• Parking option #1
• Parking option #2

Please arrive at 6pm for cocktail hour featuring live music from The Smugglers. Toasts and formal dances at 7pm. Then fill the dance floor and party with us at 7:30pm to music from Nowhere Slow.

All times listed EST.

The upper deck will be open, weather permitting, but we’ll be cozy regardless. Bring a light layer just in case.

We want this to be easy and comfortable. If you have any needs, please reach out and we’ll make a plan.
