All of our wedding festivities are taking place inside. We have tried to keep all wedding festivities in a localized location in Jersey City to keep excessive travel to a minimum. Weather in February can be unpredictable, so please keep an eye on the weather as get closer for any last minute adjustments for attire necessities.
Thor and Ellie will make a quick appearance during the cocktail hour as they will be finalizing photos with us right before hand. Though you may not get time directly with them, you will see small hints of them with us the entire night.
