Question

Questions about transportation?

Answer

More details about transportation to and from where you are staying to come! If you live near/around NYC and don't want to drive, you can take the Amtrak train from Penn Station up to Hudson (the venue is just a few steps away from the train!) More information about the Amtrak line here: https://www.amtrak.com/empire-service-train If you are flying in for the wedding and don't want to rent a car, we recommend flying in to Newark, taking the direct line from Newark to Penn Station, and then taking the above Amtrak option! (Flying into LGA or JFK works as well, you will just have to take a bus/train combo to get to Penn) If you have any questions about transportation feel free to reach out to us!

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Formal invitations will be sent out soon, and there will be an option on those to RSVP on! For now, just save the date!

Question

Should I prepare to be indoors or outdoors?

While (weather permitting) the cocktail hour might have an open courtyard option, the ceremony and reception will both be inside! The Basilica has industry-grade ACs so you shouldn't have to worry about being hot (except when you're on the dance floor busting a move!)

The Basilica does not have a curfew so just make sure to bring some flexible pants for the late-night food cart, a neat pair of dancing shoes (or just prep your feet). and of course, a smile : )
