When do I need to RSVP by?
September 13 - 6 weeks before the wedding!
How do I get to the venue?
Prospect Park Boathouse is accessible via the B and Q train lines at the Prospect Park station, as well as the Franklin Ave Shuttle. The venue is also a 15-20 minute Uber/Lyft/taxi ride away from hotels in downtown Brooklyn and Fidi in Manhattan (though we always suggest allotting a couple extra minutes for traffic.) For those arriving by car, request to be dropped off at the park entrance at 101 Ocean Ave on Lincoln Road.
Once at the park, security and venue personnel will be helping direct guests to the Boathouse.
The venue has helpfully supplied a few maps with detailed instructions, which you can find here:
