Celebrate the love of your life at a unique wedding venue this year—get married in Christmas Village!
Two great LOVE Park traditions will become one this holiday season!
For much of the year, LOVE Park turns into a wedding venue during Wedding Wednesdays. That’s when the area in front of the iconic LOVE sculpture hosts ceremonies from March through October.
Then, in late November, Christmas Village sets up in LOVE Park. Philadelphia’s authentic German Christmas market is a beloved tradition. This holiday pop-up offers food, drink, and merriment for all.
This year, Wedding Wednesdays and Christmas Village are coupling up! Wedding Wednesdays will host additional ceremonies this year. They will take place from November 29, 2023 through December 20, 2023.
Couples can exchange vows at the LOVE sculpture with up to four guests. Once they’ve said “I do!” they can then begin their life’s journey in Christmas Village’s winter wonderland.
Newlyweds aren’t the only ones invited to celebrate! Married couples looking to renew their vows in a memorable way can also join in the LOVE.
