Welcome to Ryan & Colette’s wedding!
07.08.23 | BrooklynWe’re getting married and we want you to join us.
This summer, we’re paying homage to the way it all began: on a New York City dance floor. If we’ve learned two things since then, it’s that through highs and lows, Brooklyn is our home, and that the rarest and most powerful joy in the world is getting a room full of people we love together in one place. So we feel excited and lucky to welcome you all to participate in all of the love, irreverence, glamor, and possibility we’ve found together and in this place.
If you could do us a favor and register your RSVP below by May 1, you will avoid getting a nagging text follow-up. Thank you and we can’t wait to see you!
And thank you to our friend Erica Rallo for taking 100+ Polaroids of us – you are the best.

The WeddingRialto Grande Rialto Grande
644 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn
11pm -lateJoin us after the wedding at Rialto Grande to keep the party going until the wee hours of the morning. We’ve booked the whole space, DJ Ayres of The Rub will be DJing, and there are framed photos of Nick Cage on the walls. What more could you ask for?
Rialto Grande is a 6 minute Uber ride from the Prospect Park Boathouse.
The After PartyAirbnb
If you’re interested in trying to book an apartment or house for the weekend, we do recommend doing so sooner rather than later as pickings are unfortunately slim. In Brooklyn, we recommend the Fort Greene, Park Slope, South Slope, Prospect Heights, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Clinton Hill, and Brooklyn Heights neighborhoods.
Hotels
If you want to stay in a hotel, the entire city is your oyster! We like the Ace Hotel in Brooklyn for both convenience and experience. When booking, you can use the code "CELEBRATE" to receive a 15% discount on rooms.
StayFor the welcome party, the best way to get there is to take the ferry from either Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn (our favorite way to get around in general!). We’ll email more details out as we get closer.
For the wedding itself, we strongly recommend taking either the subway or a taxi. The Q and B trains stop right outside of the park entrance a short walk from the Boathouse at the Prospect Park stop, or you can take a taxi or Uber to the park entrance at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Lincoln Road. If you must drive, there is limited parking available a short walk from the venue
Getting ThereThank you!
We love you
