4:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Cocktail/Garden Attire: Wear cocktail dresses, summer dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and jackets and slacks.
Plan to eat lunch prior to getting to the ceremony as cocktail hour begins at 4 PM, with dinner at 5 PM. No one wants hangry wedding guests! As many of you know, Mike received a kidney transplant and is on immunosuppressants indefinitely. While both Mike and Kate have received their vaccinations, due to the medications he takes, he did not have the same antibody response as the general public and as a result his physician determined Mike did not develop antibodies. While we value everyone's ability to make their own choices when it comes to the vaccine, for Mike's safety and others, we are going to require vaccination to attend the wedding. With an indoor reception, vaccination is the safest choice. Additionally, New York State has ever-evolving COVID-19 safety protocols and requiring vaccination allows us to have the most people attend our wedding. We appreciate everyone's dedication to keeping our wedding safe for all attendees.
