Pat and Cynthia's Wedding Website

Our Story

When Patrick and Cynthia met, approximately five years ago, they had no idea that one day they'd fall in love and get married. At the time, both were involved in other relationships and were content to just hang out as part of the same friend group. That was, until, Cynthia asked Patrick to help her with a sidewalk sale. Spending the day together solidified the "crush" she had on him. That day she knew her feelings for Patrick were deeper than "just friends". After Patrick left, Cynthia called her former boyfriend and broke things off with him. One week later, Patrick, having similar feelings, but being shy, tricked Cynthia into a date.

Since that date, they've been virtually inseparable! Patrick has expanded Cynthia's world through travel, culinary exploration, and his overall love for life and socialization. Cynthia has taught Patrick about all things "Jersey" and how cool cats can be! Together they love to travel, cook, entertain and care for their fur babies (Ellie, Whiskey, Smokey, and Louie). They look forward to spending their wedding day with their most treasured family and friends, celebrating their love and the beginning of their lives together as husband and wife.

We hope to dedicate this day to all of our loved ones who aren't able to join us today, especially Patrick's father, John McCann, who tragically passed away in the fall, and Cynthia's Cousin Kathy Fagnano, who passed away over the summer.

How To Get There

Newark Penn Station

Situated near Newark Penn Station, our wedding is really convenient to the PATH, NJTransit, Interstate buses, and Newark Airport (EWR). Our hotel and reception venue, the Best Western Robert Treat, has a shuttle to either the airport or Newark Penn.

The PATH train connects directly to Downtown Jersey City and the World Trade Center. Riders can connect to the NYC subway at the World Trade Center station or to Hoboken and Midtown by transferring in Jersey City.

In addition to the PATH, Newark Penn Station has connections to Amtrak, NJTransit, and Bolt Bus. NJTransit connects Newark Airport to Newark Penn Station in just one stop.

Newark Airport (EWR) is a hub for United Airlines and is short Uber ride from the venue. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is not terribly far from the venue, but avoid JFK if possible.
What to do

Museums and Memorials

Guests staying in Newark will find it particularly convenient to take the 108 bus to visit Broadway and Times Square.

Liberty State Park in Jersey City has a renowned Science Museum and ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The PATH train connects visitors directly from Newark Penn Station to the World Trade Center observation towers and Ground Zero.

The Newark Museum, just blocks from the reception hotel, has an amazing art collection. Newark also has a whiskey distillery and a new brewery just opened around the corner next to Barcade. NJPAC, across from Robert Treat, as well as the Prudential Center, host world class performances.
Where to eat

Jersey City, Newark, and Manhattan

We’re lucky to have some of the country’s best food surrounding our home and wedding location.

In Newark, we recommend Seabra’s, Marcus BP, Dinosaur BBQ, and Forno’s of Spain. Newark is particularly famous for Brazilian Rodizio in the Ironbound District along Ferry St.

In Jersey City, check out Rooftop at Exchange Place or Liberty House for amazing skyline views. Orale, Latham House, Satis Bistro, or Madame Claude and a dozen other spots all have world class food. Razza is considered by many the best pizza in the country. Dullboy and Archer Bar have the best cocktails.

If you are near the 33rd St PATH station in NYC, look into New Wonjo or Keen’s Steakhouse. If you’re near the WTC Path, check out Little Italy and Chinatown. If you’re near Times Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, check out Legasea.
