FAQs

Question

What should I wear, what’s the attire?

Answer

We are saying NYC cocktail attire. Please don’t spend time using chat GPT to look up “NYC cocktail attire." Dress like you’re going out for a special occasion on a Friday night in the City and don’t overthink it!

Question

Can I bring my kiddos?

Answer

As much as we’d love to see them, we are keeping the ceremony and reception kids-free (aside from a special wedding party guest). We truly want to celebrate love and the couples who have come before us. With that said we think you need a night off, don’t you think? We will be having a causal get together Saturday during the day and the kids are more than welcome to come join! And we’re happy to see them Thursday evening as well if it suits your plans. If you choose to travel with your kiddos we can help recommend child care options as needed.
