The ceremony will be taking place outside on the rooftop. The reception will be inside on the first floor. If it happens to rain the ceremony will be held inside.

Following the ceremony, the bridal party and immediate family will stay back to take pictures. We’re skipping cocktail hour and getting right into the reception party; have fun!

We recommend scheduling an Uber or Lyft for transportation needs. If you would like to park outside of the venue…. Best of luck!
