FAQs

The Wedding Website of Chelsea Downey and Evan Melendez
Please take a look at the information below to help prepare yourself for the day. 🌻
Question

How do I get there?

Answer

When you arrive at the Deserted Village (the intersection of Glenside Avenue & Cataract Hollow Road), the public parking lot is immediately on your right. Please drive PAST this parking lot, continue down Cataract Hollow Road (past the "Road Closed" signs), and turn right on the first bridle trail. There will be a sign with an arrow and ballons. Follow the trail out into the open field and park.

Question

Is there a walk to get to the Masker's Barn?

Answer

Yes, since the barn is located in the middle of the Watchung Reservation there is a slight walk. If you park in the private lot, the path to the barn is on gravel and dirt. It is about a 3-5 minute walk.

Question

What if I have restrictions and need help getting to the barn?

Answer

No problem! If you need to park close to the barn, please let Chelsea or Evan know. This is an option and due to fire regulations, there is a specific area that you must use. We will be more than happy to explain it to you.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Men, please feel free to wear jeans or nice pants with a button-down shirt. Women, please feel free to dress semi-casually in comfortable shoes.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

Yes, we both adore the children in our lives and would love to celebrate with everyone. Please let us know when you RSVP if children are coming or it's the parents' night out!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Since most of the guests invited are local, there were no room blocks placed. However, the bride and groom booked a room for the night before (6/24/22) and the night of (6/25/22) at: Best Western Plus Murray Hill Hotel And Suites 535 Central Ave, New Providence, NJ 07974 This is about an 8-minute drive to the barn where the ceremony and reception will be held. Feel free to book a room here for the night as we will most likely be meeting at the bar here after the reception.
