Our recommended hotels are within walking distance of the venue. There are places to eat, drink, shop and plenty of sights to see downtown. For any travel to other parts of the city we recommend using the subway, hailing a cab, or summoning ride share services such as Uber or Lyft. If you'd like to go the extra mile you can download the NYC taxi app, CURB. You can summon a taxi and input your destination address just like Uber and Lyft.

During the ceremony we would like for all cellphones, cameras, ipads, etc to be stashed away and turned off. After that you may take as many photos as you like! We would love to see any photos you take so be sure to use our wedding hashtag (TBD) on social media so we can track them down.
Question
I still have questions, what is the best way to contact you?
Answer
You can contact Dawn or Brian at anytime via phone, email, or social media. A month leading up to the wedding we may direct you to our wedding planner just so we don’t get overwhelmed with the final stretch of planning.
