FAQs

Question

Where is the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Weather permitting, our ceremony will take place on the terrace of the Prospect Park Boathouse, so plan to be outside for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Dinner and dancing will take place inside the Boathouse, but the doors to the terrace will remain open throughout the reception for anyone who needs to take a breather.

Question

Is there parking available at the venue?

Answer

Yes! We have access to 30 parking spaces reserved for guests in Prospect Park. A map with driving/parking instructions is included in your invitation; please bring that card with you to show security when you arrive. Also see those directions (minus the map) reproduced in the "Travel" section of this website.
