Friday April 18, 7-10 PM ET
Welcome Karaoke Party
RPM Underground
246 W 54th St
New York NY 10019
The Event: We hope that friends and family will take the opportunity to get to know each other ahead of our ceremony—and sing your hearts out! This is our unofficial welcome party, meaning you can party with us the whole time, just drop by for a couple songs, or skip it and go enjoy the city! Please feel free to bring partners and plus ones we weren’t able to invite to our ceremony. The dress code is informal, so wear whatever makes you feel good! We know many of you will be coming from work or the airport.
Food & Drink: The venue doesn’t allow outside food or beverages, but they have a bar and a food menu. We’ve booked the private bar and four adjoining karaoke rooms, but guests will be responsible for their own tabs.
The Venue: RPM Underground is a karaoke bar in midtown Manhattan. Enter the record store on the first floor, then take the stairs or elevator down to RPM Underground and let the front desk know you’re there for Peter and Sara’s party. They’ll escort you to our private event space. The venue is 21+ but they’ll accommodate us if we give them a heads up, so let us know if anyone in your party is under 21.
The Commute: The venue is in midtown/near Times Square, so it’s very accessible via public transportation (the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, A, C, E, & S trains all go to Times Square, and the B, D, F, & M aren’t too much of a walk). It will be rush hour, so trains may be crowded—we recommend checking train times for your route on the MTA app, Google Maps, or Apple Maps, and giving yourself a ~15-minute cushion for travel.
Please note that street parking is possible but may be annoying, so unless you’re an experienced city driver, you may prefer to just park in a paid garage in the neighborhood. Hourly-rate garages have big signs and aren’t too hard to find.
Saturday April 19, 5-10 PM ET
Wedding Ceremony and Reception
Prospect Park Boathouse
101 East Dr, Brooklyn, NY 11225
The Event: Our official wedding ceremony and reception event has limited seating and is reserved for guests who already received email invitations. Please plan to arrive at 5:00–our ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 PM and we’d like guests to settle in and find seating. Our reception will include the Filipino “money dance,” where guests line up to pin money on the dancing bride and groom. Please try to bring cash if you’d like to participate, though we’ll also have some friends bring cash to help if you forget.
Dress Code: Our dress code is semi-formal—but whatever it means to you. Simply dress to feel your best and dance the night away! Bright colors, prints, and florals are deeply encouraged. Sara would be especially happy to see folks in anything with personal or cultural significance (Filipiniana, Barongs, Keffiyeh) or her favorite color (baby blue).
Food & Drink: There will be passed hors d’oeuvres and a family-style dinner with chicken and fish entrees, as well as a vegetarian option available upon request. Staff will also check in with diners before service to confirm any allergies or food restrictions. There will be an open bar of soft drinks, beer, and wine, as well as a non-alcoholic beer option.
The Venue: Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the Prospect Park Boathouse, with the ceremony outdoors weather permitting. It is wheelchair accessible with two gender neutral restrooms on the first floor.
The Commute: The venue is in Prospect Park, near the Prospect Park stops on the B, Q, and S trains. We will have a dedicated parking lot for our event, so if you’re driving, head to 101 East Dr, and staff will direct you. If you are taking a car service, have them drop you off at the corner or Lincoln Rd. and Ocean Ave. Note that our ceremony will be prompt and brief, so please do your best to arrive early/on time.

Sunday April 20, 11 AM - 4PM
Farewell Picnic
Prospect Park
The Event: We’d love to spend Sunday hanging out in the park with our loved ones. This is our unofficial farewell party, meaning you can hang out with us the whole time, just drop by for a bit, or go enjoy the city! Please feel free to bring partners and plus ones we weren’t able to invite to our ceremony.
Location, Food & Drink, Etc: We’ll set up near the 15th Street entrance in Prospect Park, so plan for a day outside: Dress for comfort/your preferred park activity, and check the weather (sunscreen? umbrella?). We will provide a small brunch spread of bagels, cream cheese, and coffee, and also some blankets and towels. We encourage guests to bring any food, drinks, blankets, games, etc. you’d usually bring for a fun day at the park!
