Philadelphia

Philadelphia is the six largest city in the US and well known for its role in American History. The hotels and wedding events are located in Olde City, just a few blocks of where the founding fathers created this country. Spend some time touring Independence Park, where you can visit the famous Liberty Bell, the Constitution Center and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were both created and signed.
