the dress code is formal. please wear color that inspires you!

check-in at all the hotels is at 3pm – the same time the ceremony starts. we cannot guarantee an earlier check-in. please plan accordingly, especially if you are taking a charter to st. patrick’s cathedral from the w hoboken. the hotels can take your luggage and keep it safe if you are not able to check in early.

parking is severely limited in manhattan. if you are driving yourself to and from the ceremony, please take some time to find and reserve a spot in a nearby parking deck. in hoboken, there are two garages under and across 3rd street from the hotel. guests will be able to pay to park overnight at each. the one across the street is self-service.

the early charter departs the w hoboken at 1:15pm. two additional charters will begin boarding shortly after and leave when full, no later than 1:40pm. traffic in manhattan is unpredictable, so your promptness will be appreciated.

yes. all 165 seats on the charters to the cathedral and back to the w hoboken have been reserved.

for those who reserved a seat, you can find more details about your reservation and pick-up location here: https://www.theknot.com/us/krista-bobrowski-and-mat-polanco-sep-2024/charter-reservations

the charters will let guests off on 50th street next to the cathedral. staff will be present to greet and guide our guests. the cathedral is one of new york city’s most iconic tourist sites; the cathedral will remain open to the public throughout the ceremony. if we arrive early, everyone is welcome to take some time to tour the cathedral. please take your seats by 2:50pm. the ceremony begins promptly at 3pm.

once the ceremony ends, guests will be directed back to grab a drink or two for the road and board the charters back to the reception at the w hoboken.

water-to-wine hour will begin at 5:30pm. depending on traffic leaving the city, we anticipate returning to the w hoboken just after 5pm. guests will have the chance for to check in, drop their bags in their room and/or freshen up. this will also be a great time to snap a photo and sign our guest book!

absolutely! drinks will be free and flowing from the beginning of water-to-wine hour until the end of the elegant disco reception. we will have three bars and bartenders serving us throughout the night, but please help us take care of them.

our celebration will last for five hours and the end time depends on when water-to-wine hour begins. remember to grab your gift on the way out!
