While we love your little ones, our venue cannot accommodate children, so our wedding is going to be an adults-only event. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Please let us know if you're planning to bring children so we can get a head count by August 1st.

There will be vegetarian/vegan menu options at both the cocktail hour and at the reception. Please indicate your dietary restrictions or any food allergies on your RSVP.

If you're planning to celebrate with a drink in hand, we ask that you please use Uber or Lyft, they are readily available in the area!

You can type 'Liberty Street Lot' into Google Maps, or when you arrive at Birkby House, turn down Liberty Street and follow it all the way to the end.
