The Ceremony

We're making it official just down the street at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau — the New York way. We’re excited to share an intimate courthouse ceremony with our immediate family, followed by photos around our neighborhood.

  • The Celebration

    Cocktails, dinner, and dancing at a place that means a lot to us — the former wine shop where Henry used to work, where we celebrated our engagement, and where Catherine was known to make good use of that employee discount, just around the corner from our apartment.

A NYC Love Story

Sparks flew in 2017…

Henry and Catherine met on July 17, their first day at Macy’s. Before long, lunches in Bryant Park became a regular ritual, with Catherine expertly assembling Greek salads from an ever-expanding lineup of Tupperware containers. Somewhere in those lunches, the seeds were planted and their relationship took root. 

From friendship to making it official in 2019,

Henry was first introduced to Catherine’s family at her cousin’s wedding — the first trip they took together.

In 2020 at the start of a global pandemic,

they moved to Arizona for what was meant to be a month in the sun. One month quickly turned into two years of hiking, backyard BBQs, and road trips across the Southwest.  Most importantly, it was during this time that they successfully planned and executed the heist of their son, Quinn, from the doldrums of northern Ohio.

In 2022, return-to-office mandates and the start of Henry’s NYU studies

brought them back to New York, where they made their home in Manhattan’s Seaport neighborhood and quickly became part of its tight-knit community.

In May 2023, a long-planned trip to Central Park to let Quinn roam freely through the meadows led them to Belvedere Castle — and an enthusiastic “yes” that set the course for everything that followed.

Many trips and many New York dinners later, they’re excited to celebrate their marriage in the neighborhood they now call home, surrounded by the people they love most.

Travel and Stay

Both days of the wedding will take place in Downtown Manhattan. If you’re coming in from out of town, we’ve shared a few recommendations below.

  • Both days of the wedding are in downtown Manhattan - specifically the Seaport/Financial District area. If you're coming from out of town, here are some places we recommend:

    • AC Hotel New York Downtown

    • Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites New York Manhattan/Financial District

    • 33 Hotel New York City Seaport

    • Wall Street Hotel

    • M Social New York Downtown

    • AirBnb

  • The ceremony and reception are both in seaport/the financial district. Everything is walkable. If you're coming from elsewhere in the city, take the 2, 3, A, or C to Fulton Street or the 4 or 5 train to Brooklyn Bridge. Cabs and rideshares work too — this is New York, after all.

    If you're a local, you already know what to do.

THE WEEKEND MAP

Everything is in Lower Manhattan. Take the subway, grab a cab, or walk. This is New York, after all.

  • Obviously.

  • This is New York City — there is no parking situation. Take the subway, grab a cab, or walk — that’s part of the charm.
