The Main Event

Sunday, May 7th 5 - 10pm

The ceremony and reception will both be taking place at the Prospect Park Boathouse. The venue includes both indoor and outdoor space and, as there is no A/C or heat at the venue, please dress for the weather. For those driving, enter the Park at the Empire Road entrance. There will be security at the entrance who will point you in the direction of the parking and the boathouse. For those taking the subway, the Prospect Park B/Q/S station is less than a five-minute walk to the venue. For those getting dropped off, enter at the Lincoln Road entrance (at Lincoln Road & Ocean Avenue).
