FAQs

Question

Where is the ceremony taking place?

Answer

The ceremony will take place at Cop Cot in Central Park, near the 59th Street and 6th Avenue entrance. Once you enter the park, it’s just a short walk to the gazebo.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

We recommend using Uber/Lyft/Taxis or public transportation, as parking is limited in the area.

Question

Will dinner be served?

Answer

We’ll be celebrating with a cocktail-style reception at Smith and Wollensky featuring passed hors d’oeuvres and curated stations.

Question

Are Children Invited?

Answer

We know it can take extra planning, and we truly appreciate your efforts to join us. While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event. Thank you for understanding and celebrating with us.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Because we are hosting a very small and intimate celebration, we are only able to accommodate the guests formally listed on each invitation. We truly wish we could include everyone, but our space and guest list are limited.

Question

How Can I get to the Ceremony/Reception from the LIRR/MTA

Answer

see https://www.mta.info/map/5256 map for subway routes/details (these run every 6-15 minutes) check LIRR schedules for more information on train times into manhattan

Question

What if I RSVP'd yes but can no longer Attend?

Answer

We completely understand that plans can change. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can update our guest count with the venue and vendors.

Getting There

From the LIRR (Penn Station) Take the 1 train (uptown) to 59th Street–Columbus Circle (about 10 minutes). Walk east along 59th Street (Central Park South) to 6th Avenue. Enter Central Park at that corner. Once inside the park, walk a few minutes uphill along the path just past the entrance. Follow the posted signs to Cop Cot, a small wooden shelter located on the hill. Reception at Smith & Wollensky is approximately a 10-minute walk from the park. Additional Transportation Options: Rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) and taxis are readily available throughout the area. Be weary using pedicabs as they tend to be extremely overpriced.
