Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Please dress in semi-formal or formal attire. Tuxes, suits, button-downs, polos, ties, bowties, maxi dresses, short/sundresses, dress-suits are all welcome in any color and any pattern! However, we ask that you do not wear white or mostly white attire. Oswego weather can be unpredictable, so bring any layers you may need such as a sweater, shawl, rain jacket, umbrella, and maybe even a snowsuit... just kidding... kind of...

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

While we'd love to see your children run and play, this is an adults-only type of day.

Question

What will traffic and parking be like?

Answer

Our ceremony will be held at St. Mary's Catholic Church and Shrine in Oswego which will be in a very busy part of town due to Harborfest. We recommend carpooling with other guests and arriving early as there may be traffic and sparse off-street parking. The church has a parking lot but has limited space. The reception will be at Oswego Country Club, which is about a ten minute drive from the church. They have their own parking lots and there should not be any issues with parking.

Question

How many people can I bring with me?

Answer

If you are given a plus one, you can bring a guest with you. Invitations for couples and families will not receive a plus one.

Question

What's Harborfest?

Answer

Harborfest is an annual 4-day long festival held at Breitbeck Park in Oswego. It typically attracts thousands of people to the area. If you have not been in the area and would like to sample local vendors and live music on the Friday before or Sunday after our big day, definitely make a point to go to Harborfest! The lake view is always stunning, too.

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

Passed hors d'oeuvres and buffet-style dinner will have a variety of options to choose from to accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
