Will the ceremony & reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be 100% indoors. As for the reception venue, we have the option of a rooftop or indoor reception, & we will make that call the day before the wedding. Please trust that we will do our best to make sure our guests are as comfortable as possible, so unless the weather is more or less guaranteed to be perfect, we will have the reception indoors.
