Question

When should I plan to arrive in Ithaca?

Answer

The shuttles will leave at 3:45pm on Saturday from Ithaca Commons to the Nicholson's house. If you choose not to use the shuttles, we recommend you leave Ithaca no later than 3:45pm as well, because the ceremony starts promptly at 4:30.

Question

Where should I stay for the weekend?

Answer

Ideally stay within walking distance of the Ithaca Commons, as all wedding events (welcome drinks, shuttles to the ceremony / reception, afterparty) are there. We have a block at the Marriott in the Commons, and there are many hotel and AirBnBs nearby. If you choose to stay elsewhere, there are some ubers, but keep in mind that wait times can be 10-15 minutes.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire. Keep in mind the ceremony is on grass and a hill, the reception is in an open-air tent.

Question

How do I get to the venue?

Answer

We will have shuttles with ample space to physically distance leaving from Ithaca Commons at 3:45pm, and returning back to the Commons at the end of the reception. If you're driving, you can park on Smuggler's Path - just before the Nicholson's house, you'll see a gravel road to the right, park there! Uber typically runs in Ithaca, but has been unavailable while students haven't been in town this summer. You can consider this mode of transport, but don't rely on it.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 4:30 sharp, so arrive no later than 4:15.
