FAQs
Question
Can I bring a Plus One, or additional guests such as my kids?
Answer
Guests will be invited by name, on your invitation. Space is very tight (this is New York City after all!), and the venue has a very strict limitation on attendance size. If you do not see a significant other’s name on the invitation, know that we hope to celebrate with you both in the future, but we ask that only you attend. No kids will be allowed into the wedding venue, due to venue policy, at any time, during the ceremony or reception. Thank you for your understanding on guest attendance limitations.
Question
What is there to do in the area?
Answer
Well, this is New York City, so there is PLENTY to do! We won’t list out the typical tourist destinations for you (however, please feel free to visit these great spots!) We will instead share some of our favorite spots near the wedding venue: -McCarren Park: Take a stroll through the park and people watch. Grab a coffee or sandwich at the McCarren Park House. If you crave a workout, skip the hotel gym and go for a run around the McCarren Park track instead! -Marsha P. Johnson Park: Some of the most incredible views of the city can be seen on the Williamsburg waterfront. Walk from this park down to the Domino Sugar Factory for GREAT views of the entire NYC skyline (fun fact - this is part of Pete's running route!) -Tap into your true Brooklyn Hipster with some thrifting/vintage shopping: Monk Vintage and Buffalo Exchange are a great place to start! -Citi Bike down the Williamsburg waterfront to DUMBO and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Or, Citi Bike across the Williamsburg bridge into Lower East Side Manhattan (just be warned E-bike City Bikes may be needed to avoid a sweat)
