What you're wearing to the Wedding!
2 Shuttle buses will be available for ANY guests to ride to and from the wedding. The buses will depart from The Wagner Hotel (2 West Street, New York, NY), where we have a room block. The buses load at 3:20PM and 3:30PM to depart at 3:30PM and 3:40PM. If you miss the bus, you can still be on time to the wedding, but you'll likely need to take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi (it's roughly 1.25hrs with traffic). Buses will return to The Wagner Hotel following the conclusion of the Wedding at 10PM. Please RSVP for the bus ride (ride to venue is what matters) if you plan to take it so we can scrap or add a bus depending on the need!
