The wedding ceremony and reception will take place at the Stone Mill inside The New York Botanical Garden. Guests must enter the NYBG through the Mosholu Gate, located at 2950 Southern Boulevard between Mosholu Parkway and Bedford Park Boulevard.
GETTING THERE
We recommend that you drive or take a taxi/Uber/Lyft/Juno/etc to the NYBG. The Stone Mill is a five minute drive from Mosholu Gate and is not walkable. For guests arriving by train or subway, wait for the golf cart near the security booth at the Mosholu Gate to take you to the Stone Mill.
By Car
Enter 2950 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10458 into your GPS or ride-sharing app (Uber/Lyft/Juno/etc) for the fastest route based on traffic. On arrival and after checking in with security, follow signs for the Stone Mill. Both private and hired cars (taxis) will be allowed to drive through the park to the venue. Valet parking is available.
Important note: Cars are not allowed to drive unattended through the NYBG while garden guests are still in the park, so please plan to arrive at or just after 6:00PM when the park closes.
Even more important note: Do not drink and drive! Take a taxi or have a designated driver.
By Train
Take the Metro-North Harlem local line to Botanical Garden Station (approximately 20 minutes from Grand Central Terminal). The Mosholu Gate is located directly opposite the station. Visit mta.info for train schedules.
By Subway
Take the B, D or 4 train to Bedford Park Boulevard Station. From the station exit, take the Bx26 bus east to the Mosholu Gate OR walk eight blocks down the hill on Bedford Park Boulevard (approximately 20 minutes). Turn left onto Southern Boulevard and walk one block to the Mosholu Gate.

dress
Black Tie Optional
Think elegant night out on the town. Tuxedos, bowties and gowns are preferred but dark suits and cocktail dresses work, too. Most importantly, we want you to be comfortable. And a little creative.
food
For our herbivore friends, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options will be available throughout the night. Fear not, we’ve got you covered.
Weather
As the saying goes, "April showers bring May flowers." But April in NYC can also bring snow, sleet and splendid sunshine. So be prepared. Expect cooler temperatures (40-60°F/5-15°C) and a chance of rain, but check your favorite weather app in the days leading up to the wedding for a more accurate forecast.
Weather permitting, the ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outside.
Accommodations
It goes without saying that New York City is yuge and the options for accommodations are bountiful but overwhelming. With that in mind, if you need help finding a place to stay, get in touch and we'll be happy to help you pick the perfect pillow to rest your head.
