Franklin Institute allows couples
to get married in its Fels Planetarium
Outdoor weddings can be beautiful. But they also can be at the mercy of the weather.

If you’re willing to shell out a few shekels, however, you can get married under the stars
and still be inside. In fact, you can choose the stars you get married under.

That’s because the Franklin Institute allows couples to get married in its Fels
Planetarium, which is the second-oldest planetarium in the country.

The Philadelphia-based science museum hosts about 40 weddings a year, and Gina
DeGiovanni, its event manager, said many are in the planetarium.

“You get to have your own star fields … projected on the dome overhead,” she said.

Renting a venue like the Franklin Institute is just one thing you can do if you’re ready,
willing and able to splurge on an event.
