The View at The Battery is on the very southern tip of the island of Manhattan in Battery Park! Surrounding it is nearby Liberty Island (home to the Statue of Liberty), Governor's Island, and the neighborhoods of the Financial District/Wall St and South St Seaport.
There are quite a few options--it is near the PATH trains from NJ, the Staten Island and East River ferries, and the South Ferry 1 train subway station. However, if you don't want to wear your wedding finery on public transit, we suggest a cab or Uber!
Humidity will begin to be a large factor in the day, so prepare for some sticky air, but not too hot weather yet! It may or may not be spring rain time still, but either way the river breeze (on the day of at least) should keep the temperature down and the humidity lower.
We are an "old-fashioned" couple, so expect swing/motown/jazz music, vintage style, and a classic good time! The wedding is daytime, so expect weekend brunch vibes as well.
We would say summer formal is for men, lightweight or light color suits, and for women, dressier summer dresses or jumpsuits, etc. The dress code at the venue is a minimal formal (either dress jackets or cocktail dresses minimum), so plan for dressier but nothing too hot in case the heat turns up!
