The ceremony, reception, and after party will all be at We Are Here – Ellis’s studio in Bushwick! Everything you want to know about the venue can be found on the Venue Details page

We Are Here
563 Johnson Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11237
Second Floor

Yes! It’s a big space and the most convenient option, since Ellis built it, is the manager, and goes there all the time.

We will ask for some audience participation to help turn over the space after the ceremony so we can make more space for fun & dancing during the reception & afterparty. Many hands make light work!

It’s at the top of this page!

Yes! We’re so excited to see our best baby friends at the wedding.
Let us know in your RSVP if there are any special accommodations you need.
Kids can wear anything they’re comfortable with.
We’ll have some kid-friendly games, but you’re welcome to bring things that you know will keep our little friends calm and happy during all the excitement.
Don’t forget to BYO-Sippy Cup!

Nope, sorry. Too many people are allergic to dogs.

Think brunch! Smart casual, comfortable, colorful, floral

Friday: we’ll be setting up the venue during the day. Maybe we’ll go to a bar afterwards but we will not be staying out late.

Sunday: We’re planning to go to Central Park Zoo! Our rain alt is The Met.

RSVP’s are open and due by July 4. CLICK HERE!

If you have trouble with online forms, let us know and we’ll schedule a time to walk through the questions with you.

Please submit your rsvp by June 1st. If you’re truly not sure whether you’ll be able to attend until after this date, let us know on your rsvp. We’d rather overestimate than under-buy!

LGA is a little closer to the venue than JFK, but it really depends on you and your plans for the weekend.

We have not been able to secure block pricing but,

If you’re taking the train, anywhere along the L train should be very convenient (Williambsurg in Brooklyn or 14th street in Manhattan). 

This is where Luke & Ellis will be staying Saturday and Sunday night: The Hotel Elysee
This is the closest hotel to the venue: The Bogart by LuxUrban

There are literally hundreds of hotels in NYC. Choose the one that works best for you and your group.

Please consider regular travel times to venue:
Downtown Brooklyn: 35-45min by car, or 45-60min-1hr by train
Astoria Queens: 30-40min by car, or 45-60min by train
Times Square: 25-60min by car, or 40-45min by train
Long Island: .5-2hrs by car

A note about Airbnb: this is a hot button issue in NY right now. Some hefty restrictions have been placed on short term rentals in NY making it difficult for hosts to qualify to register their homes, so there aren’t very many places available in Brooklyn. If you really want an AirBnB and will have a car, Long Island has more options.

We wish there was a hotel where everyone could stay at a reasonable rate, but because of other surrounding events happening in NYC, it’s looking like we will need to split up into clusters.

We have great public transportation throughout the city. You are in charge of getting yourself to and from the venue.

Anything you want! It’s New York, baby!

Yes! Please be aware that you’re not blocking others’ view of the event. Let us know on your RSVP if you’re a phone photographer and we’ll try to be strategic about the seating arrangements.

Sure! Please use the hashtag #Robstein24

We’re considering videography, but we likely won’t have the staff or resources to run a livestream.

We’ll update this website as details get confirmed. If you’d like to receive updates directly, please sign up for our email list.

Most people on our list are couples or families. If you’re an uncoupled individual, you are welcome to bring a friend, just let us know on your rsvp.

Brunch!

Please include your dietary restrictions in your RSVP.

There will be a limited open bar. Think wine, beer, and brunch drinks.

We are fortunate enough to have just about all the material goods that we need. We greatly appreciate contributions to our life together in the form of cash or checks made out to Lucas Reibstein.

We also have a registry on Amazon with a few cute things for our home: https://www.amazon.com/wedding/share/robstein24

Ellis is extremely excited to take the Reibstein surname!

Let us know! Other people may have the same question, so we’re happy to add more to this list. Best to reach out to Ellis at goforellis@gmail.com or (703) 740-6734.
