Come kick off the festivities with us as we modernize a traditional Chinese tea ceremony to celebrate our families joining together. Light refreshments will be served.

Dress to impress
New York City Hall does not allow people to come inside to the ceremony with us, but we would love for you all to meet us outside to mingle, take photos, and begin the celebrations.
5:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Early on, we had a sweet date and an incredible meal at L'Artusi that quickly made it one of our favorite spots. We're excited to share this spot with our closest friends and family.

This event is optional, as we love (and encourage) an early night. However, for those who would like to keep the night going, we'll be making our way to either karaoke or some other activity.
House Or Rental
Our apartment is located in Brooklyn. If you need our address and want to stay near us, we would love to commute to and from events together. There is both a Hilton as well as an Ace Hotel within a 5min walk from us.
A bite-sized photography museum with incredible collections. Nothing overwhelming and in a prime location between Flatiron and Union Square.
A great view of the city and one of our favorite spots to take a walk in the neighborhood.
Where we went on our first date :-)
If you want to splurge on a relaxation moment - this is the place to do it. No phones allowed!
Ivy's fav improv! Ian hates improv (it makes him anxious). Do with that information what you will.
The best pastries.
One of the best brunch and dinner spots in the city. Snag a reservation if you can but there is bar seating.
The best 13 piece $69 omakase we've had in the city. You need a reservation!
Our fav slice shop in the city.
We'll post our registry here when we're finished building it. Thank you in advance!
City Hall is only open on weekdays, so we are celebrating during the week. That being said, if you are unable to join us on Thursday for the welcome event, we completely understand.
At this point, we plan on just relaxing and winding down! We will probably want to spend some time with our families and our friends who are flying in from out of town. If we make more formalized plans, we'll let you know
Given we are doing an extremely intimate dinner, we unfortunately had to limit the guest list to people we both know really well.
Dinner is a 15min train ride and car ride from City Hall. There will not be formalized transportation otherwise.
