More on Accommodation Options

Daniel did a little more checking on accommodation options.  The best of the lot seems to be the Nu Hotel.  Very friendly staff, modern feel, comfortable rooms, walking distance to the church and a very short car ride back from the "Preception".  We also like it for its proximity to the restaurants, bars, and fun boutiques along Court and Smith Streets.  Rooms seem to run about 80-100 dollars less than the Marriott.  Steve, the priest at Grace Church, turned us on to this new option and he also mentioned that some parishioners run B&Bs right next door from the church.  We're going to try to get more information on these from the Church secretary...  UPDATE:  A BLOCK RATE IS AVAILABLE!  Ask for the Ackerman-Yarrow wedding rate, if you book here.

Excited about Music

We found a pianist for the reception.  One of the many fabulous students at the Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, Gregory Post.  If need some inspirational music for your workday, you can listen to some of his work on the youtubez, his channel is DrPostman2000.  This piece is particularly fun.  We're still working on the ceremony, but Liv has been practicing by singing along to this.
