Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Question

When and where is the wedding?

Answer

The wedding is on the 1st of October, 2021 at the Art Factory. The Art Factory is located at the following address: 70 Spruce Street, Paterson, NJ 07501.

Question

Do you have a dress code?

Answer

We ask that guests stick to a formal dress code and wear either a suit, gown or cocktail dress. While we want to see you dressed in your best, please keep in mind that the Factory is a repurposed warehouse and the floors can be a bit uneven. So if you want to wear your sexy stilettos, we suggest bringing some comfy flats as back-ups so you can join us on the dance floor.

Question

Do you have a hotel block for guests?

Answer

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Best Western Fairfield Executive Inn for the day before and the day of our wedding and have included some information for the hotel on the Travel page of this website. If you would like to book a room within the hotel block, please ensure you book the room by September 9th, 2021.

Question

Will transportation be provided from the hotel to the venue and vice versa?

Answer

Shuttles will leave the hotel at 5:00pm sharp for the Art Factory. There will also be shuttles bringing guests back from the Art Factory to the hotel at 11:45 pm, 12:30 am, 1:30 am, and 3:00 am.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The doors will open at 5:00pm and the ceremony will start at 5:30pm. We suggest arriving 25 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony since you will need to allot yourself 10/15 minutes to either walk or take the trolley from the parking lot to the venue and then the venue itself is quite large and difficult to navigate.

Question

Is there reserved parking?

Answer

Guest parking is located at the 14 Market Street Parking Lot, which is across the street from the Paterson Museum. Trolleys will be provided from the parking lot to the venue and vice versa throughout the evening.

Question

Where do I go once I get to the venue?

Answer

Trolley service will run back and forth to the Art Factory and the parking lot all evening. Once on-site, please head up to the ceremony in the Hemp Room (4th Floor) via a candlelit staircase or the elevator (demarcated by the two coats of armor). Cocktail hour to follow. The reception will take place in the Hamilton Room (3rd Floor). Guest representatives will be available on-site to guide guests to the ceremony area, cocktail hour area and then to the reception area afterwards.
