FAQs
Question
Where are you getting married, exactly?
Answer
Brooklyn Grange operates several rooftop farms across the city, keeping bees, growing wine, and more. We're at the Sunset Park location near Industry City. You'll head to the roof of what looks like a mall building (starring something called "Floor & Decor" and a Sak's Off Fifth) to find our party and the farm.
Question
I'm here, but I don't see where to go. Help?
Answer
If you're in the main section of Industry City and its numbered, interconnected buildings, you're a couple of blocks away. Follow signs for "Floor & Decor", or for Microcenter, which is across a parking lot from our building. It may look a little dark from outside. You're in the right place! When you enter the building, someone from the farm will be waiting to direct you upstairs via the elevator.
Question
Do I need to choose a menu item in advance?
Answer
Nope! Dinner will be served family-style so that everyone gets a chance to try at least a bite of everything Night Kitchen cooks up for us. Do let us know of any allergies, and we'll ensure safe dishes are set aside for you, prepared to your needs.
Question
Is it handicap accessible?
Answer
Yes! If you have any specific needs, just let Cara or Josh know.
Question
What does "garden formal" mean?
Answer
It means an opportunity to dress up for the fun of it, knowing you'll be outside for a while (weather willing). Cocktail hour and the ceremony will be held on cobblestone surfaces (blocky heels will be perfectly safe). It can get breezy on NY rooftops in the evening, even in summer, so you may want a light jacket or wrap by the time we head home.
Question
Is there a hotel block?
Answer
Yes, you can now book your rooms at the Downtown Brooklyn Marriott hotel by referencing the Budofksy-Tucker wedding. Please be aware that the hotel charges a $25 daily resort fee on top of our group rate ($309 single beds, $329 double beds).
Question
How soon do I need to book the hotel room if I want to stay in the block?
Answer
After May 24, the hotel will honor the wedding block if they can, but they'll open the rooms back up to the public for anyone to book.
Question
Do I need to stay in the hotel block?
Answer
Not at all; please stay wherever you wish. We chose this hotel because it is within an easy Uber ride of our venue, while also providing easy access to many subway lines. New York is full of fun hotels, and staying in an interesting, walkable neighborhood can add a lot to your trip. The East & West Village, Greenwich Village, Soho, and anywhere near Central Park in Manhattan, plus DUMBO and Williamsburg in Brooklyn, are all particularly fun to eat in and explore on foot (though often pricey, too). We would suggest avoiding the Times Square and Penn Station offerings (noisy & dirty). The trick to choosing a good hotel in New York is to get close to a station on at least one of the subway train lines you will travel along most during your stay. Your geographic proximity to attractions doesn't matter as much!
Question
Is there an after party?
Answer
A casual one, yes -- anyone is welcome to join us to find a corner at a nearby bar, but there's no formal after-event planned.
Question
What about the morning after?
Answer
Please stay tuned!
