A Room With A (different) View.


So, I know it's been a while since there was a CoAnderson wedding update, and I have a good reason.

We lost our reception venue.

It's complicated. It has something to do with AIG and foreclosures and bailouts and stimulissisisss and if I had the big CNN touch screen interactive map I could really explain it well.

Long story short we received a letter from Pochron Studios 2 weeks ago claiming that due to the economic climate they would be closing their rental space as of July 31st. As in the Friday before our wedding on Saturday August 1st and regrettably they could not hold our event. As you can imagine after reading this letter there were a few tears, a few glasses of wine, a re-group, some research, many phone calls, talks of eloping, but after all that I'm happy to report we have secured Wedding Venue Part Deux. The Midtown Loft and Terrace.

Wedding Venue Part Deux is located in fancy Manhattan. It's larger and prettier and nicer than wedding venue I. So lets just say everything happens for a reason and move on!

Here are some FAQ's that have come up since moving the venue. 

Q. Is the ceremony still in Brooklyn?
A. Yes.

Q. Can we now stay at a hotel in manhattan?
A. Sure, but in our opinion the Brooklyn hotels are just as convenient and for the most part cheaper than hotels in Manhattan. We may also possibly be having activities on Thursday and Friday that will be held in Brooklyn.

Q. How do we get from the ceremony to the reception?
A. Good question. We are still figuring this out. That said it's super easy to drive, take a cab, or take public transport between both locations. There are multiple parking garages by both the ceremony and the reception sites. 

Q. Where's the after party?
A. TBD

Q. What does the new venue offer me?
A. Up-close and personal views of the beautifully lit empire state building from a 3,400 square foot roof terrace, a 5,000 square foot loft space for dancing, and a partay you will never forget.
