Long time friend of the bride and Bridesmaid Andrea James painted the artwork used for our Save the Dates! She used our engagement photos as inspiration, originally taken by our friend Bruno Azevedo. If you look closely, you will see a special nod to some of our favorite places: Hartford, Branford, and NYC. We are very grateful to Andrea and Bruno <3
On Saturday, the Ceremony will begin at 5:45PM. The Ceremony will be immediately followed by Cocktail Hour and then a Reception to include a sit-down dinner, and dancing. The Reception will end at 12:00 AM. Formal Attire/Black Tie Optional. For those who would like to continue the party after the reception, we will gather at a bar within walking distance of the venue.
Both the ceremony and the reception will be held at the Society Room of Hartford!
Our venue is a bit on the fancy side, so we request Formal attire/ Black tie optional. What does this mean? Glad you asked! According to Google, this means: formal gowns, sophisticated cocktail dresses, or dressy separates for ladies, and a dark suit with a nice tie or a tux for guys. Please note: We are not the fashion police so please don't go crazy, just come and have a good time :)
Yes, everything will be indoors.
There is complimentary parking in the ProPark lot directly to the left of the building. The address for the lot is 84 Asylum Street, Hartford. To enter the lot, you will need to take a ticket from the machine. Bring the ticket inside with you for validation. You cannot park in the lot overnight. If you are staying at a hotel, we recommend parking at the hotel and walking to the venue since both are very close by! There is also complimentary parking available at the Temple Street Garage, less than a block from the venue. If you park in the Garage, please also bring your ticket for validation.
We have room blocks reserved at the Residence Inn and the Goodwin Hotel. The Residence Inn is directly across the street from the venue, and a great low-key option with large rooms. The Goodwin Hotel is a little bit fancier, and about a six minute walk from the venue. Other downtown Hartford options include the Hilton Hartford (6 minute walk) or the Hartford Marriott downtown (11 minute walk or quick drive). The links for the hotel blocks are posted on the “Travel” page.
Because the hotels are so close, we will not be providing transportation. Uber/Lyft is the best option if you decide to stay further outside of downtown.
Unfortunately we were only able to accommodate invited guests.
We love all of your children, but to ensure a night full of adult fun, we will be having a kid-free wedding.
The entree options include: Beef- Filet in a burgundy demi, mashed potato, charred corn Chicken- Grilled Statler Chicken, smashed cheddar potato, vegetable medley Fish- Salmon, peanut noodle salad, cucumber, spicy ginger Vegan- Lentil penne, vegan Bolognese, seared zucchini squash and peppers, crispy kale
Yes, please feel free to contact the Bride: email jenna.lupi@gmail.com or text 203-804-3562. During cocktail hour, we will have some gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian offerings. The vegetarian dinner option will be vegan and gluten free.
Obviously.
Our registry can be found right here on Zola. Of course the most important gift is your presence as we say "I do."
