The dress code is black tie optional, which basically means, if you want to live your red carpet fantasy in a tux or floor-length gown, do it. If you’d rather rock a cocktail dress or a suit, that’s perfect too. Sequins are encouraged. Actually, sequins are always encouraged. Just no denim. And no feathers. You know who you are.
Yes! Everything’s happening at Arrow Park in Monroe, NY, a dreamy estate with big enchanted forest energy. Once you arrive, you can toss your phone in your bag and bask in the romance, no need to hop between venues.
We’re saying “I do” under the open sky, surrounded by trees and probably a few ghosts given the age of the place. The reception is partially indoors and partially under the stars, so bring a wrap or a jacket, or something.
There’s free parking on-site at Arrow Park if you’re driving. If you’re staying in our hotel block at the Crowne Plaza we’ve got a shuttle to whisk you to and from the venue so you can get all drunk and weird. Shuttle times and info will be shared closer to the date.
If you have discussed this with the couple, bring your date, your soulmate, or your situationship. We don’t care. If not, we love you dearly but are keeping the guest list cozy. Feel free to text us if you’re unsure, we’d rather clear it up than have you stressed (or show up with someone named Kyle who “does music” and eats all the hors d'oeuvres).
We love your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration. Think of it as your excuse to get glammed up, drink champagne, and say “f**k” without spelling it out. Get a sitter and come party with us.
There’ll be dinner, drinks, dessert, and potentially a snack surprise or two. We’ve got vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs covered, as long as you let us know before-hand.
We’ve reserved a hotel block nearby. Check the “Travel” section for details and links. If you’re the Airbnb type, look around Monroe, Suffern, or Warwick.
Your presence is the gift, but if you’re feeling generous, we’ve got a registry and a honeymoon fund to help us kick off married life. Links are in the “Registry” section.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not text the bride. If you need anything day-of, directions, dress dilemmas, lost in the woods—reach out to our planner, Rachael Solomon at rachael@badbossbride.com. She’ll be holding it down while we’re holding back tears and trying not to mess up our vows.
