Join us for the true Levingart experience, a Sunday post-wedding pool party with a Big Fat Greek Wedding theme (Windex & Lamb on a spit included 🤣). More food than you can eat, rotating DJs, and Rosie on cleanup. We realize the hour commute may be a lot for folks, so we’re arranging a shuttle bus for out of towners to make the commute easier. 🚍 Can’t wait to wind down properly by the pool with y’all in the lush woods of Jersey. 🧜♀️🌞🌳🌊

Accommodations
Moxy Williamsburg
This is a newer hotel and the design is gorgeous. This will be the most affordable option. While it's a bit further from the venue, the neighborhood is stunning. The link below takes you directly to our room block.
Ace Hotel Brooklyn
The Ace will be our mid-range option and also stunning. This is closest to the venues and two blocks down you've got the gorgeous Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill neighborhoods (aka our neighborhoods!).
Arlo Williamsburg
The Arlo is a nicer option that has stunning views of the city and is situated right in the center of Williamsburg. The beautiful rooftop pool will be a hot commodity for the weekend.
Coda Williamsburg
The CODA is right next to McCarren Park and is a beautiful boutique hotel. It is a more expensive option, but if you have the means, by all means! It's just down the street from the Arlo.
Apartments for longer stays
If you are planning to make a little vacation out of this and plan to stay for a week, and if you have a larger party, we understand if a hotel won’t work. We’re working with Patch’s sister from another mother, Ani Tzenkov, to find the perfect spot for you. Details to come.
