When is the RSVP deadline?
We ask for everyone to mail back their RSVP card by April 15th.
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
We suggest arriving at 3pm to ensure enough time to take your seat before the 3:30pm prompt start time.
What is the best way to get from the wedding ceremony to the reception site?
St. Vincent Ferrer is a 10 minute drive or a 25 minute walk to the Essex House. We recommend parking around the Essex House and taking an Uber / Taxi to the church for the ceremony and back to the reception site.
What is there to do between the wedding ceremony and the reception?
We expect to end the wedding ceremony around 4:30pm and we plan to do a ribbon-waving exit from the church, so if able, please stick around! There will be ~2 hours between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the reception cocktail hour. We recommend taking a walk through Central Park, visiting Bel Ami for a pastry (where we had our first date), or going back to your hotel to freshen up.
What entails a black tie optional dress code?
For men: Black tie optional invites you to wear a tuxedo or a dark suit and tie if preferred.
For women: Black tie optional suggests an evening gown or a sophisticated cocktail dress.
How do I know who I can bring to the wedding festivities?
To ensure a personalized experience for all our guests, please refer to the names indicated on your invitation to confirm who is included in your party.
