Philadelphia hardly needs an introduction, and its iconic cityscape and green areas make it a suitable place to celebrate a wedding, especially for those proud Philadelphians. Getting married here is quite easy, and according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, anyone can apply for a marriage license, regardless of immigration status, and marriages between non-citizens are legally recognized.
However, note that there is a 72-hour waiting period before the marriage license becomes valid, and it expires after 60 days.

Testimonial:
“This was an amazing place for our wedding, one millón stars. Close to the Paoli Amtrak station which was great for a bunch of people from Brooklyn. Just 15 minutes/$15 Uber from the train station. We rented both houses. Check out Lux Escape w/Hot Tub, Pool, & Great Room. We had our family stay with us, about 14 couples, half with kids stay on the combined properties. Golf carts available to shuttle back and forth. And the hosts were so responsive, really made the difference in a disaster wedding and the magical wedding we had. Everyone who came is still telling us it was the best wedding they’ve been to. We had the place for the entire long weekend and it was worth it. The day after the wedding we bbq’d with about half of the wedding guests that came back the next day to use the pool, play tennis, and pickle ball.” - Andre
