  • Great event but could not stay because the there was no sound to the broadcast. Was this because of potential resident complaints? Seemed like such a waste to be all dressed up in a fancy hat like so many did and have to watch a silent broadcast. I felt disappointed for all those who came out expecting the see AND HEAR the wedding ceremony. I ended up headed back home and watching it on my couch.

    Great event idea DUMBO BID, but next time make sure there’s audible sound!
