Ceremony / Reception
Shuttle Leaves Marriott Hotel
Formal Attire
Ceremony will begin promptly at 5pm, followed by the Reception and Dinner after. Please arrive with time to be seated.
Following the reception there will be a shuttle to take guests back to the hotels, and a separate bus to take guests to the after party location, Common Mollies in Williamsburg.
For hotel all hotel guests, there is a shuttle set to depart from the Marriott Brooklyn Bridge at 4pm to take you to the venue. If you plan on taking the shuttle please be on time and ready to go.
The entrance to the venue is located via an elevator at the far end of the building. There will be signs pointing in the right direction, but if all else fails, just type "Captain America Statue" into the search bar of your map. (Yes there is an actual Captain America Statue at the entrance. Jim likes comic books. This can't be that surprising.) This will lead you to the right door. There will be a greeter downstairs to help you to the elevator.
PARKING
If you choose to drive, we recommend allowing 10 extra minutes to find parking in
case spaces are limited. Street parking is available in the neighborhood, metered parking
under the BQE along 3rd Avenue, and a parking lot operated by Industry City is located on 2nd
Avenue (between 31st Street and 32nd Street) called "Lot B" ($15, open 7am-11pm). Per
building management, no event parking is permitted in the mall lot in front of the building;
this lot closes and is locked up at 8pm.
SUBWAY
Take the D, R, or N Train to 36th St on 4th Ave. (10 min walk to venue.)

Farewell Brunch
11am - 2pm
Casual Attire
On your way out of town, come on over for a traditional Brooklyn style brunch---meaning bagels and booze. When you arrive at the 123 Melrose entrance, check in with the front desk staff. They will point you in the direction of the elevator which will take you up to the 8th Floor lounge where we will have a spread of our favorite neighborhood bagels, lox, and cream cheeses, as well as some delicious cocktails to help out anybody who might have partied a little too hard the night before.
