Dress Code: Trend
Please join us in CELEBRATING OUR UNION! We will have a very small (private) elopement ceremony in the afternoon & look forward to welcoming everyone at Honey's Brooklyn once we've officially tied the knot.

In addition to a sick local DJ & Mead made in-house, we plan to feature some of our Brooklyn faves like Roberta's, Banhmigos & Mama Yoshi Mini Mart. It is sure to be an excellent time & seeing you there would truly mean the world to us π€

Forever! Just kidding (kind of). If you'd like to make a trip out of this, we would recommend staying about 4-5 days in order to see everything worthwhile. We would be more than happy to provide tailored recommendations and/or a full itinerary for your trip. There is so much to do and see in the city we love most.

Answer
Elevated x cool! If you're unsure, ask Kendyll for advice.

There will be a small family-only elopement-style ceremony before the party. This is something we would like to do mostly privately - thank you for understanding. We look forward to celebrating with everyone at Honey's immediately afterward!
