We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! Please let us know if you'd like help finding a local babysitter.
The dress code for the wedding is semi-formal. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
Parking is available at both the ceremony and the reception. St. Abanoub and St. Anthony Coptic Orthodox Church has a parking lot and Battello has complimentary valet parking.
We will not be providing transportation. The Westin is located directly across the street from Battello. The DoubleTree is located one block away and they have a complimentary local shuttle that will drop off at the venue as available and pick up at the venue at the end of the reception.
Please refer to the Travel page of our site.
We will follow the New Jersey state regulations that are in place at the time of our event. When you are not seated at your table, we ask that you please maintain a safe distance from others. We will be providing masks at the venue for your convenience (or, feel free to bring your own if preferred!).
The wedding ceremony will be hosted indoors at the church. Battello has both indoor and outdoor space. There is a beautiful deck which will have casual outdoor seating available. However, dinner will be plated and seated indoors with large open windows.
We can’t wait to have all of our favorite people together in one place! With the current guidelines in mind, we do encourage you to refrain from handshakes, hugs or other physical contact with any guests outside of your household. We have also created our seating plan in line with the current COVID-19 restrictions to allow adequate space between guests during dinner, and will be seating guests together with their close family and household members as much as possible.
At this time, we are expecting approximately 150 guests. In accordance with COVID-19 restrictions in New Jersey, indoor wedding receptions are limited to no more 250 people, not including staff. We will keep you posted if anything changes closer to the date!
