WE'VE GOT ANSWERS
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
The dress code is Black Tie.
For men, this means a tuxedo or a formal dark suit with a tie or bowtie. For women, this means a formal, floor-length evening gown, or another elegant option suitable for a formal event.
WILL THERE BE TRANSPORTATION?
We will not be providing transportation between the ceremony and the reception, except for members of the wedding party and immediate family. Don’t worry—it’s just an eight-block distance! There will be an hour and a half between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception, giving everyone plenty of time to explore nearby and get to the reception. See the next questions for ideas on how to spend the time in between, and recommended transportation & optimal pick up location.
HOW CAN I GET TRANSPORTATION AFTER THE CEREMONY?
After the ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, we recommend exiting to the Madison Avenue side entrance to hail a cab or request a ride through Uber or Lyft. Madison Avenue runs uptown, which is the direction you'll need to go for the reception or towards the below recommended places to explore before the reception.
Please note that Fifth Avenue can be especially busy and congested during the holiday season, making it harder to get a cab or rideshare there—and it heads downtown (the opposite direction you’ll need). Of course, if you plan to explore downtown in between, you’re welcome to use Fifth Avenue for that!
WHAT CAN I DO IN BETWEEN THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION?
There are many nearby establishments to grab a cocktail in between the ceremony and reception if you please. See below for a few of our recommendations:
The Palm Court or The Champagne Bar (The Plaza Hotel)
Note: You may need a reservation here ahead of time
Gabriel's Bar & Restaurant
