Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our family get dressed up for our big day! The official dress code for the rehearsal dinner is Cocktail Attire. The official dress code for the ceremony and reception is Black Tie Preferred. This means you can wear a tux, evening gown, or formal suit—whatever makes you feel your best! Please reserve shades of sage green for the wedding party. Please reference our Attire Inspo Page for more details on preferred colors.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We have arranged a shuttle service to bring everyone from The Beekman Hotel to the Central Park entrance on the corner Central Park West and Terrace Dr. If you are taking the shuttle, please arrive at The Beekman Hotel no later than 4pm. The shuttle will depart promptly at 4:15pm. If you miss the shuttle, you will have to arrange other transportation to the ceremony. Please keep in mind, once you arrive at the park, there is a 10 minute walk to Bethesda Terrace. We will have ushers to escort everyone to the ceremony location, so we highly recommend taking the shuttle to the park so no one gets lost.

Answer

The ceremony will be held outside, uncovered. The reception will take place indoors.

Question

Will there be chairs at the ceremony?

Unfortunately due to Central Park restrictions and guidelines, there will be no chairs at the ceremony. Ladies, please wear shoes you are comfortable walking and standing in for an extended period of time.
