New York City
NYC has been Katie's home for 16 years, Ryan's home for 9, and our home together for over 5, and we couldn't imagine throwing the party for our wedding anywhere else. For those of you who live here... you already know why! For those of you traveling here to celebrate with us... we're happy to give you an excuse to visit!

We're happy to share recommendations in other neighborhoods in the city too. Just ask.
Of the shows that will be playing in November, here's what we have seen and can recommend. There are plenty more choices that you'll like if these don't appeal to you. Just definitely plan to see something!
Hamilton - Tickets for this one will be pricey and probably difficult to find, but it is most definitely worth the hype if you're up for the spend.
The Color Purple - Incredible performances, moving story and an overall incredible night at the theater.
School of Rock - Based on the movie and a real crowd-pleaser. Great for kids and adults and one of our favorite shows that has opened recently.
Jersey Boys - The songs and story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
Chicago - One of the longest-running shows on Broadway for good reason. Great if you want to see awesome dance.
The Book of Mormon - Incredibly funny, although not for the easily-offended!
Something Rotten - A hysterical ode to musicals.
Wicked - You must see this if you haven't. It's a satisfying spectacle.
On Your Feet - The songs and story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. It's exactly what you'd expect and super fun.
The Humans - A new 90-minute play that is funny but also makes you consider the nature of life. An excellent option if you're not interested in a musical.
TICKET TIPS:
After choosing your show, look at Broadwaybox.com, Theatermania Discounts and Playbill Discounts to see if there is a discount code for tickets when you'll be here. If someone can go to the box office for you with the discount code, that will be the cheapest way for you to get tickets since you can avoid online booking fees. If not, you can either book online or wait until you get to New York to try your hand at TKTS or last-minute tickets. If the show you want doesn't have a discount, be sure to book through the show's official website to get the price directly from the theater. Any questions, shoot us a message!
