FAQs

Question

Why no registry?

Answer

Unless you want to gift us a house. We'd take a house. Or if you insist, a contribution to said house. (There’s a link to our virtual piggy bank on this site.) But honestly, we are just happy to have you celebrate with us!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Rachael will be wearing a white dress. Ben will be wearing a wedding type suit. EVERYONE is encouraged to wear dancing shoes. Full suit, partial suit, cocktail dress, snazzy buttons — wear whatever you love yourself in.

Question

When is all the traditional wedding stuff happening?

Answer

We are exchanging vows in a more non-traditional way with immediate family and a handful of friends over dinner before we dance the night away with everyone at Pete’s.

Question

But seriously, what about a cake and a first dance and an aisle walk and who are your bridesmaids/groomsmen and what about the traditional goat sacrifice?

Answer

No cake, no first dances, no aisle walks, no bridesmaids or groomsmen, no bird seed throw — an open bar party to toast to our forever promises!

Question

Can my cute kid come to celebrate with us at the bar?

Answer

Our private party at Pete's allows us to have kids. So if bedtime has no limits, bring 'em out. Or if you want a date night, then leave 'em at home and go hog wild with us.

Question

Will there be dinner at Pete's?

Answer

We are hosting open bar for a few hours and having light sandwich nosh at the bar for those that can't hold their liquor.

Question

What’s the COVID protocol?

Answer

Ah, yes it's still with us! Per NYC mandate, everyone is required to show proof of COVID vaccination before going indoors to bars and restaurants. You can bring your vaccine card with you, or you can download one of the nifty digital vaccine passes ahead of time. (Google it!) There’s outdoor spaces with good air-flow, and all guests will need to show proof of vaccine. However, we understand everyone's comfort level and situation varies, so please take advantage of a testing site before coming out and anyone is welcomed to hang out in their masks of course. But if you anticipate needing to change your RSVP altogether, please let us know ASAP, since we've already settled up our final numbers.
