EVENT DETAILS
When: Friday, August 11th, 2023
Ceremony: Noon - 12:45 PM Picnic: 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM Where: Linden Terrace, Fort Tryon Park (Ceremony) Take A train to 190th street. Enter at Margaret Corbin Circle Entrance Cafe Lawn (Picnic): Parking is available nearby, across from New Leaf Cafe. Please see map of Fort Tryon Park, below, for subway access, parking, restrooms and to see where the ceremony and picnic are taking place. Ceremony at the Linden Terrace: Please be advised that our park permit only allows for 30 people on the Linden Terrace. Additionally, we will be prioritizing seating for those who require chairs and we will be reserving seats for family. Please plan to arrive a bit early to get your preferred seat. In terms of access, there is a short flight of steps to reach the Linden Terrace. Picnic at the Cafe Lawn: After the ceremony, we will be having a picnic on the Cafe Lawn, which is a short walk from the Linden Terrace. We will be providing cake and sparkling cider. Please be aware that the Parks Department prohibits alcohol. If you wish to bring your own picnic lunch, please feel free to do so. You will need to bring your own seating (such as lawn chairs and/or picnic blankets). Amplified music is also prohibited but if someone feels moved to bring an acoustic guitar or flute, that would be lovely. Restrooms are available near the Cafe Lawn (see map below). As those of you who attended our wedding and/or our 10-year re-commitment celebration know, our celebrations are pretty home-spun. So think of this as a Friday afternoon do-it-yourself gathering. That being said, if you’re able to come a little early or stay a little late to help with set-up or break-down, please let us know in the RSVP section. Rain Date/Inclement Weather: In case of rain, we will hold the ceremony indoors, on the same day, in our apartment. The ceremony itself would then be limited to our immediate family due to space considerations. We would then turn the celebration into an open house, where you can come by between the hours of 3:30PM to 6:00pm to visit. Please include your email and text information in the R.S.V.P. so you can be part of the text chain and we can alert you if we need to change plans. |
