The city of Chester, which is situated along the Delaware River, is considered part of the Philadelphia metro area and is served by SEPTA, which offers bus services, and has easy access to Philadelphia International Airport, so you and your wedding guests will be able to easily explore the region.

While Chester is near many major attractions and shopping centers, it has some excellent resources of its own to help you with the wedding planning process.

For a fun-filled wedding weekend, check out Harrah's Philadelphia, which offers full wedding coordination services and bachelor and bachelorette party planning services.

If you want a traditional wedding ceremony, Chester is home to numerous churches, including St. Luke Community Christian Church, God's House of Glory Haven, Calvary Baptist Church, Macedonia Seventh Day Adventist Church, First Faith Missionary Baptist Church, and Shiloh Baptist Church, just to name a few.

Chester has several parks that you can enjoy during your free time, including Chester Park, Washington Park, and the waterfront area, which has recently been revitalized.

You can also watch and bet on the races at Harrah's Philadelphia or visit nearby attractions such as Ridley Creek State Park, Fort Washington, the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation, and the John J. Tyler Arboretum.
