Neighborhoods such as Midtown, the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side, and Chelsea offer convenient access to many of the city's most popular attractions, restaurants, and shopping destinations.
For guests looking for additional hotel options, we recommend exploring properties near our wedding venue or within easy walking distance of the hotel blocks. Staying in Manhattan will generally make it easier to get around and attend wedding festivities.

Getting to NYC
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
One of New York City’s primary international airports, located in Queens. Approximately 45–90 minutes from Manhattan, depending on traffic and transportation.
LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
Located in Queens, approximately 20–45 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. A convenient option for domestic flights, particularly from other U.S. cities.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
Located in New Jersey, approximately 30–60 minutes from Manhattan. Offers extensive domestic and international flight options.
Our Recommendation: We recommend comparing flights into all three airports, as pricing and availability can vary. LaGuardia is often the most convenient for domestic travel, while JFK and Newark offer additional options for international and cross-country flights. Travel times will depend on traffic, time of day, and your final destination.
Getting Around in NYC
New York City offers a variety of convenient transportation options, making it easy to explore the city without renting a car. The subway operates throughout Manhattan and the outer boroughs, while taxis and rideshare services are readily available. Walking is also one of the best ways to experience the city, particularly when exploring neighborhoods, shopping districts, and restaurants.
We recommend using the subway or walking whenever possible, as traffic can be unpredictable, especially during peak hours. For airport transfers, transportation to and from wedding events, or late-night travel, taxis and rideshare services offer convenient alternatives. Please allow extra travel time when moving between locations, particularly during busy weekends.
