Yes, we ask that all guests be tested for COVID-19 prior to the event. In New York, any CityMD location will be your best bet for testing but we do recommend calling a few days ahead to understand their wait times and waitlist procedures. Sometimes a smaller clinic or doctor's office may be less crowded or offer quicker results. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about getting tested. The exception to this rule is if you have been vaccinated for COVID-19. If you have completed your vaccination prior to the event, there is no need to be tested. We appreciate everyone's help in making this event as safe as possible for our guests!
We're making every effort to make our celebration as safe as possible for our guests. We've significantly downsized the event to include close family and bridal party only (65 people maximum). We ask that everyone be tested before coming to the wedding (see above); please contact us if any questions. All guests will have their temperature taken upon arrival at Bottino for the reception. The space is outdoors / open air, but covered and heated in case of chilly weather. We'll be providing hand sanitizer at the venue and masks will be required at all times except when sitting down to eat (we'll have extra masks on hand for anyone who needs one). Finally, we completely understand if anyone does not feel comfortable attending and hope you'll be celebrating with us from afar!
Parking can be difficult near both our ceremony and reception sites. We encourage guests to take advantage of the provided transportation or use public transportation or a ride sharing service. Please see the Travel page for more details.
