On July 3, 2012 Dane and Jef ended up at a party where their mutual friend was DJ'ing. They both knew so many of the same people but somehow had never met before. Phone numbers were exchanged and the first date happened a week later. After dinner, they walked through Tompkins Square Park and stopped to sit and chat. Stories were shared, as were a kiss or two, and plans were made for another date.

3 years later on August 22, 2015, with the help of some friends and family and an elaborate ruse about seeing a puppet show in Tompkins Square Park, Jef proposed to Dane while sitting on the same bench they sat on for their first date.

HOTELS......

Courtyard by Marriott - Downtown Manhattan

Hilton Garden Inn - Long Island City

Rooms blocks are reserved at the Courtyard Downtown near the World Trade Center and at the Hilton Garden Inn in Long Island City. Both hotels are close to major subway lines and about a 40 minute car ride from the wedding venue. We recognize that these hotels are still expensive so we encourage families and groups of friends to explore vacation rental websites like Homeaway, Flipkey and AirBnB. If you would like to be near the wedding venue, use the neighborhood names "Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY", "Ridgewood, Brooklyn, NY" or "Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY". We're happy to answer questions if you are unsure of a location. 

GETTING AROUND........

The subways and buses are clean (most of the time) and are very safe all hours of the day.  Taxis are plentiful in Manhattan. Car Services and Uber are convenient for getting around Brooklyn and Queens.
