Hotel Monaco Philadelphia Wedding

Nov 6, 2024

Andi and Tye’s wedding at Hotel Monaco Philadelphia was an unforgettable celebration full of laughter, love, and all the energy you’d expect from a couple who lights up every room they enter. I first met these two at a past HMP couple’s wedding, where Andi was a bridesmaid, and we instantly clicked. When they reached out to me soon after to capture their own big day, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. These two are the kind of couple that brings so much joy wherever they go, and their wedding day was no different.

It was a wedding day I had been looking forward to all year!

One of my favorite parts of their Hotel Monaco Philadelphia wedding was the stunning purple details woven throughout the decor. Andi’s love for purple was evident in everything, from her flowers to the ribbons in her detail, creating a beautifully cohesive and vibrant atmosphere. Even the hotel walls were purple.

It was all meant-to-be!

Tye, on the other hand, showed through in a completely different way that perfectly represented him. He’s known for his skill in quoting movies, shows, and comedy sketches, and it became a running theme throughout the day. From both Andi and Tye’s vows to the toasts by the best man and the maid of honor, his skill was referenced several times and had everyone laughing because they all know it’s true! Plus, his love of music came in clutch because they selected an amazing group of songs to play during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and then the DJ kept the music rocking all night long.

Their Hotel Monaco Philadelphia Wedding had the two of them woven throughout it from start to finish!

The ceremony took place on the hotel’s rooftop, giving guests a unique experience. Instead of traditional rows of seats, they arranged cozy lounge seating around the altar. This made it feel intimate and relaxed, with everyone close enough to truly witness the love between Andi and Tye. And when it came time for the reception, they wowed everyone with a choreographed first dance packed with spins, lifts, and dips!

They absolutely nailed it, setting the tone for an epic night of dancing.

The dance floor at this Hotel Monaco Philadelphia wedding was electric, packed from column to column the entire night. It was clear that every single guest was there to celebrate Andi and Tye in the best way possible—by joining them in a night full of laughter, dancing, and joy. From start to finish, their wedding day was a true reflection of their personalities and their love for each other, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it. Congratulations, Andi and Tye! Your day was truly one for the books, and I know this is just the beginning of a beautiful life together.

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
