When planning weddings in Philly we often cross several bridges – literally.
Planning a wedding in Philly especially during the summer often leads many brides to “the shore” or if you’re into Delaware – “the beach.”
While planning down the shore has its plusses, most brides panic over the minuses - like “where do we find a local band, florist, photographer, etc?
You’d be surprised how many Philadelphia area wedding professionals do business across the bridge and many other places around the region.
While shore traffic is always a concern for many beach brides- planning ahead is the key. Many of your guests will make a weekend out of it as it IS a destination wedding. Make sure to set up room blocks and book reservations WELL in advance of the summer season.
