Click on the Local Hotels menu and a list of some of the local hotels are available. There are room blocks for 3 local hotels, all within 20 minutes of the venue. Please be aware the courtesy room blocks expire on September 29, 2025.
Is there shuttle service from the hotels?
No, there is no shuttle service to and from hotels. But all hotels are within 6-20 minutes of venue.
Tell me about parking at the Waterloo.
There is a large parking lot with ample space. A golf cart service will be available to those that need assistance from the parking lot to the wedding garden and to the cocktail and reception sites and back to the parking lot at the end of the evening.
I am flying in, which airport should I fly in/out of?
Newark Liberty International Airport, Newark, New Jersey.
JFK and LaGuardia in New York are available, but not as convenient.
What should I wear?
Wear what makes you comfortable. Maybe something dressy casual. You being there is what's important. We prefer no jeans and sneakers. The ceremony will be in a garden, wear footwear that will be easy to walk in on the ground, stilettos not recommended.
What will we be eating?
There will be a plentiful cocktail hour with a welcome signature cocktail and beverage offered so you don't have to wait at the bar. There will be a full open bar of premium beverages and cocktails, no shots. The dinner will be a bistro style with 2 options offered on each plate. There will be a chicken and seafood option, and a vegetarian option, plated with seasonal vegetables and sides. Dessert is wedding cake and a coffee bar that includes espressos and cappuccinos.
Is there a gift registry?
There is no gift registry, we pretty much have all that we need. There are just a few options on the registry page of this website. If you would like to give us a gift; thank you, that is generous of you and we appreciate it. There is a cash fund registry link on the next page - "For our best years ... together." Thank you!
