Q + A

What should I wear to the festivites?

Formal attire is requested for the wedding and reception but black-tie is optional. Please DRESS WARM and your best!

Is there a hotel we can stay in?

YES! The bride and groom set up a room block at the Hyatt Place in Fair Lawn (9 minutes ) and there will be a shuttle to take you to and from. Whether you are out of town guests or just don't want to drink and drive (don't condone it) book a room and relax!

What time should I come the day of?

4:30/4:45 Ceremony starts at 5... so if you are "on time" you are late!

Will there be an after party?

YES! We aren't "go-to-bed-early" type of people so of course. It won't be an open bar, but we can continue the night at one of our favorite bars called the Celtic Corner not far from the venue or the hotel.. PLEASE UBER! Celtic Corner Pub and Restaurant 312 Lafayette Ave, Hawthorne, NJ 07506

Any colors to avoid wearing to the festivities?

Please no white- that's the bride's job! The bridesmaids are wearing blue but whatever you feel your BEST in, please wear! <3

Are children allowed at the wedding?

Unfortunately, to allow everyone to relax and enjoy themselves, this will be an adults-only event. We politely request no children attend the ceremony and reception. Thank you in advance for understanding.

For the bridal shower it says "share a recipe" where do I put it once I fill it out?

There will be a recipe box when you walk into the bridal shower. Please write your favorite thing to cook!

For the bridal shower, I want to bring a gift but I am unsure what to bring?

Good news! The bride and groom set up a registry. We thought long and hard about what to put on there and would appreciate any gifts bought from there. If it is too heavy to move or unwrap please wrap in a clear plastic so the bride can still enjoy the gift with everyone else.

What should I wear to the bridal shower?

Cocktail style clothing is preferred. There will be a professional photographer! No white or blue please (the bride and bridesmaids will be wearing them)

Can I bring a plus one to the bridal shower?

No plus ones for the bridal shower.. women ONLY! sorry boys!
