Our Wedding

Melissa and Brando met while volunteering at Project Axis in Harlem, NYC, while attending graduate school to become physical therapists. When they first laid eyes on each other they knew that it would be difficult, from that day forward, it would be difficult to ever divert their eyes from one another.

Back in 2016

Melissa loved spending time with Brando and Brando loved spending time with Melissa.

They Became One: Melando

Brando didn't want to keep calling Melissa his 'girlfriend'. He wanted Melissa&nbsp;to know that she meant the world to him. He believed the best way to convey that message was to put a ring on it. So he did!

Brando Just Couldn't Resist

Because&nbsp;tears (of joy), smiles, and laughter are coming soon!

Get Ready!

Q + A

When choosing your flight you may want to consider this: LaGuardia is closer to the wedding venue and NYC/Manhattan overall. However, JFK&nbsp;is the second best option if flying in from out of town. NYC&nbsp;is a very&nbsp;commuter friendly city, so renting a car may not be necessary if you decide to stay here.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;NYC metro, buses,&nbsp;taxis and Uber may suffice when getting around town.&nbsp;Keep in mind however, the wedding venue is located in Englewood,&nbsp;NJ, about a 28 min drive away from midtown Manhattan (sorry friends,&nbsp;no feasible means of public transportation here).&nbsp;If you are not renting a car, Uber will do the job for under $40 one way.&nbsp;If you decide to stay in Englewood,NJ,&nbsp;renting a car to get to and fro may be a more viable option as public transportation is not as readily available.&nbsp;

LaGuardia vs JFK

The Holiday Inn at GW Bridge/Fort Lee is just a 10-15 minute drive away from The Carriagehouse. Rooms here start&nbsp;as low as&nbsp;&nbsp;$125/night.&nbsp;

 



We recommend&nbsp;staying in&nbsp;an AirBnB, at Airbnb.com, as a more cost effective option. If you would like to stay&nbsp;nearby the wedding venue, look for locations in&nbsp;Englewood, NJ. On&nbsp;the other hand,&nbsp; if you prefer to stay in&nbsp;NYC&nbsp;, we recommend staying uptown (Harlem, Washington Heights, or Inwood)&nbsp;where you'll be&nbsp;just a&nbsp;20-30 minute ride&nbsp;away from&nbsp;the Carriage House. See links to AirBnB&nbsp;website below to start your search.&nbsp;
