Please RSVP here on the website no later than September 25.
We'd like it to be a dressy occasion! Please dress in your Sunday best. No jeans or flip-flops, thank you.
There will be an open bar with a limited selection of alcohol, as well as non-alcoholic drinks for everyone.
The temperature for October in Paterson, NJ is typically between 46 and 61 degrees, rarely below 35 and rarely above 75 degrees. The ceremony and reception will both be inside. Bring a coat if you like, but we'll primarily be indoors.
Don't feel you have to make the trek in nice clothes and heels. There is a large parking lot less than two blocks from the Art Factory featuring a dedicated trolley to pick up our guests and take them to the venue. Find the lot on Market St, between Spruce St and Mill St.
We'll have two dedicated photographers capturing every angle, so please use your situational awareness to give way to them during the big moments. Please share images you capture to our virtual wedding album at www.borghoffwedding2022.com
After the ceremony, the wedding party and close family will be taking photos while our guests will be able to enjoy small bites and drinks during the cocktail hour. The cocktail hour will take place in an area just beyond our ceremony space.
We're so excited for you to enjoy a catered cocktail hour and buffet reception from Delivering Experiences! Small bites include garlic & shallots jumbo shrimp over polenta; sweet plantain croquettes with shredded beef & herbs aioli; and teriyaki vegetable-stuffed mushrooms. Salad: spinach, diced mango, dried cranberries, honey roasted almonds, mozzarella pearls, orange & cilantro dressing. Sides: sautéed miso vegetables, soy & honey roasted Brussels sprouts, and Cajun orzo with mixed vegetables. Entrees: Angus prime beef with mushroom port demi-glace; chicken with cranberry, apple, swiss, and spinach roulade with green farmers' sauce; and red snapper with garlic, lemon, & fine herbs butter.
Please visit our Registry page here on our website. We have two registries: one on Zola that includes some cash funds that we intend to use during our honeymoon at Walt Disney World in December, as well as an Amazon registry that includes some nice to have items for our home. Make sure to select the right registry at the top of the page.
Look for hotels or Airbnbs in Montclair, Wayne, Totowa, Clifton, Little Falls, Cedar Grove, Lyndhurst, Secaucus, Paramus, Saddlebrook, etc. We have not reserved hotel blocks. Paterson makes a great wedding venue, but unfortunately the infrastructure does not include quality hotels (or a Starbucks).
We recommend flying into Newark Airport, only 30 minutes from The Art Factory, especially if you’re renting a car or plan to take an Uber. Laguardia and JFK airports are also great options, but you’ll have to travel through or around NYC to get to the wedding venue, which can be a drive of 1.25+ hours.
