Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
Friday night should be comfortable but a step above everyday casual for the late May weather. Think nice pants with button-downs, blouses, dresses, sweaters.
Saturday is formal attire. Dresses should be midi length or longer. Ties required with suits. Feel free to embrace classic, timeless colors that complement Keens' historic charm
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! Both Friday and Saturday events will have open bars.
Can I bring a guest?
Only those named on your invitation are invited. Due to venue capacity, we're keeping the celebration intimate. If you're unsure who was included on your invitation, please check your RSVP form.
Are kids invited?
Unfortunately our venues are not kid-friendly. The welcome drinks will be at a bar, and Anthony Bourdain described Keens as "one big bar with really gigantic bar food."
What if I have dietary restrictions?
Please let us know when you RSVP! Keens can accommodate most dietary needs.
What time should I arrive on Saturday?
Please arrive by 5:45pm so we can start the ceremony promptly at 6:00pm. Traffic and the subway can be unpredictable, so we recommend leaving early.
How late will the party go?
The reception officially ends at 11pm, but we might head somewhere nearby for after-party drinks!
Will there be dancing?
Nope! Dancing is prohibited by New York City regulations at Keens!
What's the weather usually like in May?
New York in late May is typically mild and pleasant, with temperatures in the 60s-70s. We recommend bringing a light jacket for evening.
