Yes. We're planning a full weekend celebration, and lodging is limited to guests who can stay the entire time. We're also aiming to create a COVID-safe bubble, so having everyone on-site for the whole weekend helps us keep things as safe as possible. If you’re not able to join us for the full weekend, we completely understand and ask that you RSVP “no.” We’ll miss you and truly appreciate your love and support from afar.
Our strong preference is for guests to stay on-site so we can create a COVID-safe bubble and enjoy the full camp experience together. If you'd rather not stay in a cabin, you’re welcome to bring and hook up an RV, or book a nearby hotel or Airbnb (about 25 minutes away). If you stay off-site, you're still welcome to join us for daytime activities like swimming, field day, and all the camp fun. Just keep in mind that since you won’t have access to a cabin, you’ll be using the shared bathhouse for changing and freshening up—so bring anything you’ll need for the day, like clothes, towels, and toiletries. No matter where you're staying, we ask that everyone follow the same COVID safety practices throughout the weekend to help keep our community safe. If you are staying off site please note that in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. Otherwise we will assume you are staying with everyone at summer camp!
We suggest guests bring: comfortable summer clothing for both leisure and activities, walking shoes, swimwear, formalwear for the rehearsal dinner and Wedding ceremony, and camp essentials like bug spray, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. Feel free to check out the camp website for suggested packing items.
Most guests will be living the authentic summer camp life in shared cabins/rooms with bunk beds. Restrooms for these accommodations are communal and non-gendered. Guests will be grouped based on relation to each other and the couple. Private or semi-private accommodations will be given to guests who are older, have small children, or have differing accessibility needs. We will do our best to individually inform guests of what to expect ahead of the wedding weekend. RV hook ups are also available to any guests who’d like to rent one and live large!
Aside from rehearsal dinner and the wedding, the rest of the weekend is a choose your own adventure. The camp has archery, paddle boats, a pool, hiking trails, basketball court, volleyball court, fire pits etc. We will also host some optional group activities like field day games, morning yoga and arts and crafts!
Most areas of the camp are around 1 city block distance from one another. We will also be renting a few golf carts for the weekend for anyone with accessibility needs. If a golf cart would be helpful to you please let us know so we can get the correct amount.
YES! We feel very strongly about folks being fed. Most meals will be provided by the camp. There will be specific meal times the dining hall is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. We will also have areas stocked with snacks that you can access whenever you need. The rehearsal dinner and wedding reception will be catered by Beyond Catering.
All meals will have options for varying dietary needs such as gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. The meat is not guaranteed to be Kosher or Halal but there will be plenty of vegetarian options as Ab is vegetarian! There will be no shellfish in any meal.
We will have coolers with alcoholic and nonalcholic drinks available to folks throughout the weekend. We will also have a bartender with mocktails and cocktails available during the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception.
Check out our pinterest board for examples! Think of the item you bought where you thought it was SO fabulous but didn't know where to wear it, now's your chance! The pinterest link is bit.ly/FlamboyantWedding (capitalization needs to be correct for link to work)
The ceremony and reception (Sunday evening, 5–11pm) will be child-free, but we’ll be offering on-site childcare for kids under 14 during that time. The rest of the weekend is best suited for guests 14 and up. Children under 14 are welcome, but outside of the childcare window, they’ll need to be under your supervision. All guests under 18 will be roomed with a parent, guardian, or family member. We know this setup may not work for every family, and we completely understand. If it feels like too much to juggle, we totally support you RSVPing “no” and celebrating with us from afar.
