Question

What time should I arrive and is the reception in the same location?

Answer

Please plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before the ceremony begins to be seated comfortably. After the ceremony, we’ll move to the rooftop bar for cocktail hour, followed by dinner at the main bar.

Question

What time will the reception end?

Answer

The reception will wrap up at 11:00pm, with last call at the bar shortly before.

Question

The dress code says, “vintage-inspired attire is encouraged, but feel free to add your own modern flair.” What does that mean?

Answer

We want you to feel comfortable expressing your personal style! You can wear a modern outfit and add some 1920s-inspired touches—like jewelry, shoes, hats, headpieces, or bold colors. In short: have fun, be creative, and make it your own!

Question

Can I go full out Peaky Blinders or Flapper?
