FAQs

Question

When and where is the wedding?

Answer

We’re getting married on Saturday, May 30th, 2026 at the iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Ceremony Time: 1:00 – 1:50 PM Location: St. Patrick’s Cathedral, 5th Ave between 50th & 51st Streets, New York, NY (Please arrive no later than 12:45 PM to be seated — the ceremony will begin promptly.)

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We kindly ask our guests to join us in formal attire. Think timeless evening looks — suits or tuxedos, and long or refined dresses. Please remember that white is reserved exclusively for the bride. If you’re joining us at the cathedral, please note: it’s a sacred space, so modest attire is appreciated.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

We’ll gather for cocktails and dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Ci Siamo, from 5:00 – 9:00 PM in their third floor private room and outdoor terrace. Ci Siamo is near Hudson Yards and is ~20-minute drive, 20-minute subway, 30-minute walk from the cathedral. IMPORTANT NOTE: Ci Siamo is not located right on the street - it's located inside of Manhattan West Plaza at 385 9th Ave, New York, NY 10001. Enter the plaza on 33rd street, pass the Pendry Hotel, continue south towards Daily Provisions and our door is on your left hand side. If you enter the plaza on 9th avenue, head west to the end of the plaza, make a left at Daily Provisions and you’ll arrive at Ci Siamo! https://www.cisiamo.com/location/ci-siamo/

Question

Will there be food & drinks?

Answer

Yes — and not just any. Dinner will be an intimate, chef-driven experience at Ci Siamo, one of New York’s most acclaimed restaurants. Think handmade pastas, wood-fired dishes, thoughtful wines, and cocktails crafted to match the moment. It will feel less like a wedding reception and more like being invited to a truly exceptional dinner party in the heart of the city. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know in your RSVP — we’ll ensure you’re well taken care of.

Question

How do I get from the ceremony to the dinner?

Answer

We recommend taking a quick yellow cab/Uber/Lyft, subway, or walking if the weather’s nice (about 30 minutes). If you'd like to walk with a group, we’ll coordinate a meeting spot after the ceremony. Note: Ci Siamo is in Manhattan West Plaza (385 9th Ave, New York, NY 10001.) The easiest way to find it is to put the Pendry Hotel (438 W 33rd St New York, NY 10001) as your destination, then enter Manhattan West Plaza on your left, continue straight until you pass Daily Provisions and you see Ci Siamo’s door on your left. Ci Siamo can be reached at (212) 219-6559 if you need any help!

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

We’re not providing group transportation, but everything is located within Manhattan and easily accessible via car, foot, or transit. If you need help coordinating rides or accessibility, feel free to reach out to us directly.

Question

I’m flying in — which airports are best?

Answer

LaGuardia (LGA) – ~30 min to Midtown Newark (EWR) – ~40–60 min (but can be quicker if you’re staying near Hudson Yards) JFK – ~45 min to Midtown Manhattan We suggest flying into LGA if possible — it's the closest and often the smoothest experience into the city.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

Your time, energy, and money invested to be present at our wedding is the greatest gift we could possibly ask for. We are so grateful to celebrate this special day with those we love most. Should you wish to honor us with a gift, we have created a home and honeymoon fund to help us begin our life together, which can be found linked under "Registry" on our wedding website.

Question

Anything else I should know?

Answer

Getting around NYC: Taxis, Ubers, subway, and walking are the way to go. Weather: May in NYC is usually mild and lovely, but pack layers — it can shift quickly. Photos: We’ll have a photographer capturing the day, but feel free to take photos too! Just be mindful during the ceremony. If you have any questions or need help, don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.
