Une fête d'amour!!

We are flying to Belgium on October 26th!

For all of the friends and family who have meant so much to us through the years - please join us as we celebrate our love and prepare to take a huge leap across the pond! This is a chance for us to bring all of our favorite people together in one of our favorite places for good food, good music, and good company.

Schedule

The Wedding Website of Patrice Escandon and Brendan Reid
Join us in Fort Tryon Park, a special place for Brendan and Patrice. For Patrice, this has been her oasis from the hubbub of the city and a gem of the neighborhood of Washington Heights which she has called her home for 16 years. She was so happy to find a partner who appreciates the magic of this unique park as well. This has been a place to contemplate natural beauty, admire sunsets, people watch, bird gaze, picnic, make time to draw and take photographs, observe nature, and meet with friends over the years. There will be a short ceremony with friends and family gathered outside in Fort Tryon Park on Linden Terrace which overlooks the Hudson River. Following the ceremony will be the reception at The Bonnefont commencing about 7pm which is nestled within the park just a short jaunt down a path from the overlook.

FAQs

Question

If I'm not a local, where can I stay?

Answer

There area a lot of hotel + AirBnB options in NYC - the closest is probably Radio Hotel (www.theradiohotel.com) on Amsterdam and 180th Street!

Question

Can kids go to karaoke?

Answer

Since the karaoke space is essentially a bar, this is an adult (21 and up) only event!

Question

Will there be seating at outdoor portion of event?

Answer

On Linden terrace there are park benches, if you would like to sit. We are planning to have friends and family gather around standing during ceremony, but near enough to benches if you would like to sit. Let us know if you have any concerns or accessibility issues as the terrace is only accessible by stairs.

Question

What if it rains for outside portion of event?

Answer

We’re hoping anthropogenic climate change doesn’t produce rain or a hurricane on our special day, but even with deletion of climate science data, we know it’s a possibility. In that case, let’s gather under the archway in the park and make due as best we can and maybe get a little wet frolicking in the Heather garden.

Question

Is reception at the Bonnefont rain or shine?

Answer

Yes. The Bonnefont is an inside venue with a covered patio as well, it will be cozy and elegant rain or shine!
