Question

Can I bring....Can I bring....

Answer

A PLUS ONE: Due to the constraints of the venue, we are only allowing guests that we have named in the invites. MY CHILDREN: As you know, Ming loves children enough that if it was up to her it would be a kid ONLY wedding but for some reason Nick wants his adult family to come and so as much we love kids, we are only going to have the little ones who are part of the wedding party and explicitly named on the invitations. A PET: Ming is deathly allergic to basically all animals so please do not kill the bride. Service animals are welcome but please let us know ahead of time and keep them away from the bride to avoid the afore-mentioned murder AN ALIEN OVERLORD: Alien overlords are all welcome, bleep blorp

Question

What is the dress code?What is the dress code?

Answer

Formal attire for the banquet and the wedding. For the banquet, I recommend wearing red or gold since those are the celebration colors for Chinese events. For the wedding: when in doubt, since our wedding theme is rainbow put on your brightest threads that make you feel the best! The bolder the better, use this as an excuse to wear your most extravagant outfit

Question

How do we get to the venue?How do we get to the venue?

Answer

To get to the island you can take a car, the F train (conveniently called Roosevelt Island stop), the Q102 bus (to Main St/The Octagon), the ferry (use the astoria line), or have a fun trip on the tram! The tram is accessible via 456FNQR trains (basically every single east side train) so the world is your oyster. Once you're on the island, it has it's own built in shuttle in the form of the Red Bus! It has stops at the subway, tramway, the hotel, and the venue itself. It's free, and goes all around the island all day - even until 1 am. That being said the island is TINY and you can walk from end to end in 30 min so if the weather is nice (and your shoes are comfy) just take a stroll
