FAQs
General
Do I have a plus one?
Please note that your invitation will make it clear if we are able to accommodate a plus one for you. Unless your invitation specifically includes a guest, we are unable to accommodate plus ones.
Are kids allowed?
Unfortunately, no. Due to venue restrictions and to ensure that everyone can fully enjoy and celebrate at the wedding and reception, we kindly ask that our wedding remain an adults-only event.
What is considered black tie?
For those who would like to wear a tuxedo or suit:
The classic choice for you will be a black tuxedo, a crisp white dress shirt, and a black bow tie. While a tuxedo is the gold standard for black tie, a black or deep-toned formal suit with a bow tie can be an acceptable alternative if styled properly.
Shoes should be black patent leather dress shoes or highly polished oxfords, and accessories should remain refined.
For those who would like to wear a dress:
We highly recommend a floor-length evening gown in a luxurious fabric like satin, silk, chiffon, or velvet. Dark, rich tones and metallics are common choices, though bold colors can also work if styled appropriately.
For the final touches, we recommend elegant shoes, tasteful statement jewelry, and a classic clutch for essentials.
The goal of black tie is to exude timeless elegance and sophistication—think red carpet, not office party.
Overall, we hope that you will choose a look that feels comfortable and authentic to you! By adhering to these guidelines, guests will contribute to the sophisticated, festive atmosphere of the event.

How do you recommend getting around New York City?
We highly suggest either walking (depending on how far you are trying to go) or using the NYC Subway system - it is convenient, quick, and cost effective!
Yellow Taxis are also reliable and will help to avoid any surge pricing during busier times with more driver demand. Uber and Lyft are also highly convenient options!
Is the subway safe?
Yes! We both use the subway almost every day.
Despite what you may have heard, the public transportation in New York City is safe and best of all extremely convenient. While you are traveling in the subway system, be sure to travel together, be aware of your surroundings, and don’t take the train too late at night.
