The dress code is formal meets cocktail: suits and ties for men; cocktail or formal dresses for women.

The entire celebration will unfold along one very meaningful avenue. You can read more about why this spot is so close to our hearts here. We’d love for you to join us on a short walk from the ceremony to the reception.

The ceremony will be held indoors. The reception will also be indoors, with access to a small outdoor space.

Cabs are readily available, and both the ceremony and reception are conveniently located near the A/C/E subway line on 8th Avenue and 23rd Street. The church is on W 24th St and 9th Avenue and the reception venue, Bottino, is on W 24th St and 10th Avenue.

Absolutely—we can’t wait to dance with you! Peter’s childhood friend, Aaron Browner, is an accomplished DJ and will be our DJ for the night.

We will also invite all of our guests to participate in two traditional Greek wedding dances. If you would like to learn more about the Greek dances beforehand, please see these pages and videos:

Our wedding is a celebration of the cultures that shaped us. We’ll be honoring Greek, Italian, and Jewish traditions throughout the day—beginning with a Greek Orthodox ceremony, followed by an Italian dinner, and a few special Jewish traditions along the way.

We're honored to be married in the same Greek Orthodox church where Peter’s Yiayia (grandmother), Irene Telegadis, wed his Pappou (grandfather), Peter Telegadis, on March 4, 1945.

The Church of St. Eleftherios, was established in 1918 and rebuilt after a fire in 1973. It holds a rich history within the Greek community in Chelsea and the Telegadis family.

Saint Eleftherios is known as the protector of expectant mothers and childbirth, which is a beautiful blessing as we begin our life together.

You can learn more about Saint Eleftherios and the Saint Eleftherios’ Church here.

The evening will begin with hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, followed by a beautiful Italian garden dining experience and dessert.

Bottino is a beloved neighborhood staple that blends our love of food and creativity, in the heart of Chelsea’s art district. Since opening in 1997, it has been part of the area’s cultural transformation.

Executive Chef Jamie Kenyon—whose experience includes acclaimed kitchens like Daniel, Bar Boulud, and Eataly—has earned a Michelin star in previous roles and brings his expertise to Bottino, shaping a refined and iconic Italian dining experience in Chelsea.
