During the time between the ceremony and reception, you are welcome to check into the hotel, a 10-minute drive from the church or explore Downtown Montclair, only 3 minutes from the hotel, where there are bars, shops, and an art museum! Recommendations are below!
If you park in the parking lot across from the Paterson Art Museum (large parking lot with permit-only signs belongs to the Art Factory), you can easily access the falls which are absolutely breathtaking!
