FAQs

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding day is also the day of the New York City Marathon. While this is an amazing event to watch if you have never seen it before, and while the marathon route is not on Roosevelt Island, this means there *will* be road closures and traffic. If you are driving onto the Island, please give yourself enough time to plan for traffic. If you are not staying on Roosevelt Island, we *highly* suggest you take the subway (F train to Roosevelt Island) to get to the wedding. We have talked with both venue staff and hotel staff about getting around the city/ onto Roosevelt Island via car on marathon day, and while it is not impossible, things will take longer. Please be prepared!

Question

What is Roosevelt Island?

Answer

Its a neighborhood that is considered part of Manhattan but is located on an island in the East River. Just like any other neighborhood in the city, you'll find some restaurants, coffee shops/ delis, a grocery store, drug store, and recreational areas on the island. It is accessible by subway (F Train), tram, ferry, bus, and car.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There are about 35 dedicated parking spots for guests to use at the venue, and street parking around the venue/ Island.

Question

I'm not driving. How do I get to the venue from the hotel or the subway station?

Answer

You can either walk north along the water (about 15-20 minutes) or take the free Red Bus (route information listed in the "Travel" section of this website). The Red Bus runs every 15 minutes and is a 4-5 minute ride.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Although we love all of your little ones, this is an adults only celebration, with the exception of our flower girls and ring bearer.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Please dress in formal attire. Think suit and tie or elegant dresses.

Question

I'm here for the weekend. What should I do for fun?

Answer

There are always countless events happening in NYC, but we can suggest a few ideas that are close proximity to Roosevelt Island and less typical destinations than Manhattan. Long Island City (LIC), a neighborhood in Queens east of Roosevelt Island, has tons of great breweries, bars and restaurants. You'll also find MoMA PS1, a contemporary art museum. Greenpoint, Brooklyn also has a lot of great bars, restaurants, shopping, and bakeries. Astoria, a neighborhood in Queens with tons of cultural food institutions. Anything from Greek, Italian, or Afghani cuisine, and even southern comfort food and barbecue. You will also find the Museum of the Moving Image, which houses cool exhibits highlighting the history of film, digital media and tv. If you have any specific questions about what to do while you're here, please reach out!
