Steph&Ben

Please join Steph and Ben on November 7, 2026 at Public Records in Brooklyn from 6–10 PM for a marriage celebration



About The EventWe’re gettin’ married and throwing a party at Public Records! Come celebrate with us. 

We're keeping it simple: good food, an open bar, great people, and eventually a record spinnin’ DJ. The first two-ish hours are for eating, drinking, and catching up. The second two-ish hours are for whatever happens when all of the above combine. 

No formal program, no bouquet toss, no babies (we love yours, we promise), no pressure. Just a great night with our favorite humans. 


Food & DrinkPublic Records is a fully vegan restaurant. Meat lovers, consider this your permission to pregame with a slice. 

Dinner is buffet style with a few options: roasted potatoes, cucumber salad, roasted veggie skewers, crunchy rice, and two kinds of bread (focaccia and pita, because one carb was never going to be enough). Then dessert. 

The bar is open and well stocked. There are few beers, a red, a white, and some bubbly, plus a few craft cocktails we’re pretty excited about. Classic 1+1s are covered too: gin and tonic, vodka cran, whiskey and coke, you get the gist. 

Exploring NYCIn town for the wedding and want to see more of the city? We put together a guide to the places we love most, from coffee and dinner spots to our favorite walks. You can filter by neighborhood, search for whatever you're craving, or pull everything up on a map.

Open Our NYC Guide


Dress CodeSmart casual. Elevated but chill, polished yet relaxed.

Think effortless, put-together, and a little dressed up without feeling overly formal. Casual pieces mixed with nicer ones are perfect: streetwear, cool separates, sneakers, denim, dresses, suits, or anything that feels like you! 

Dress to express your personality. Bonus points if you dress like you live in Brooklyn ;)

We recommend booking hotels early and, if possible, using trains and subways for getting into and around the city. Call us up if you have questions, want advice, or want to talk through your itinerary.

RegistryWe’re lucky enough to already have most of what we need. More importantly, we live in a NYC apartment with limited amounts of storage. In lieu of a traditional registry, we’d love to put any gifts toward our travels together in the form of a honeymoon fund. If you’d like to contribute, you can send a little something our way via Venmo (@bdolensky).

If you’d like to give us a gift: Gift us a vinyl record and tell us why you picked it. It could be your favorite album, your wedding song, or something that brings back a memory. Write us a note telling us why you chose it. We’d love to build a little collection of records tied to the people we love.
