Yes St. Anthony's, has ample parking.
Chances are if you parked in the parking lot by the cemetery, you went into the bigger parish church. Our ceremony is taking place in the stone shrine church right next door. Look for the stone building with the tower, red awning our front, and large circular stained glass window above the door. It's also right next to the parish school. Here's a link to the church's website to help you: https://thechurchofstanthony.com/

No, transportation is not provided from the hotel to the ceremony but we will have a shuttle from the hotel to the reception and back. We will have about two and a half hours between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception to allow time for guests to make their way up to the hotel, check-in, and get the shuttle. (Please note the venue is about 40 minutes north of the church, and the hotel is another 10 minutes north of the venue.) For our out-of-town guests or those who would like to get up to the hotel before the ceremony to check-in, you are welcome to do so but you will need to drive yourself down to the ceremony.
No. Following the ceremony, you are more than welcome to drive to the hotel and take the shuttle bus to the reception. We encourage everyone to use the time between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception to head to the hotel to check-in. You can also drive directly to the Feast at Round Hill as there is plenty of parking there, but please note, the reception doesn't begin until 5:30 pm. Why not grab a drink at the hotel while you wait?
Yes! There will be two shuttle buses leaving from the Hampton Inn parking lot to take guests to the reception at the Feast at Round Hill. The first shuttle will leave at 5:00 pm. The second shuttle will leave at 5:10 pm. Please make every effort to be on the 5:00 pm shuttle so that you will be sure to arrive at the cocktail hour on time.
Yes. The first shuttle making the return trip from the FEAST to the Hampton Inn Middletown will depart at 10:35 pm. The second shuttle will depart at 10:45 pm. Both shuttles will arrive in plenty of time for guests to change into PJs and walk over to the Courtyard by Marriott next door for the after-party! Refer to the schedule page for more information.
Yes! For guests who wish to drive directly from the church, work, or home, there is ample parking in the lot behind the venue! When turning off Rt. 208 onto Round Hill Rd, the Feast is the very first driveway on the right. It comes up quickly so go slow or you'll miss it. Drive up the short path and through the gate. Then follow the path around the building and park anywhere in the large gravel parking lot. The main entrance to the venue is the golden front door on the wrap-around porch.
Yes and Yes! There will be an open bar starting with the cocktail hour at 5:30 pm serving beer, wine, liquor, and soft drinks. Have a pint of GUINNESS or check out our Signature Drink: the Manhattan Jasper, a Manhattan cocktail with a tinge of kelly green, a nod to where we first met, and our love of whiskey! From 9:30 to 10:30 the bar will only serve wine and soft drinks. However, there will also be an after-dinner cordials station during the dessert service.

Good spotting! The happy couple both loved Sesame Street as children and had discovered they owned similar stuffed friends. When Dan and Katie started doing long distance in their first year of dating and then subsequently on other trips, a themed Big Bird was purchased and sent to the other person. Katie now uses many of them with her young child clients during therapy sessions or with her niece and nephew, and they often still make an appearance in their pictures and outings.
Hell yes there will be bagpipes! We love bagpipes! Uncle Tom wouldn't have it any other way. Dan learned to play them while at Manhattan College and still plays with their pipe band. We will have a piper or two to welcome you to the church and maybe Dan will play at the reception!
Please refer to your formal invite to see if you have a plus one.
Yes, except for the after-party please come dressed to impress for both the ceremony and reception. While we recognize our date is very close to Halloween, please do NOT come in costume as we are having a traditional ceremony and reception.
