Answer
Yes, we have a room block at Lake Morey Resort and we encourage our guests to stay on-site. Rooms start at $329. Please note that the block will be released to the public on June 10th; we urge you to make your reservations early so you don't miss out!
Question
How do I get to and from the events, if I'm staying off-site?
Answer
We encourage guests staying offsite to pre-arrange carpooling or professional taxi services, as we will not be able to offer a shuttle offsite. There is plenty of parking at the venue. Note that rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are not available in this part of Vermont. Please party responsibly!
Question
What is the weather like in the area?
Answer
On August 10, the temperature in the area typically ranges from 58°F to 76°F and is rarely below 49°F or above 84°F. That said, it can feel much hotter or cooler depending on sun and precipitation. We encourage guests in short sleeves to bring a shawl or light sweater in case it gets chilly after dark.
Question
What the heck is a 'garden formal' dress code?
Answer
It means you are encouraged to break out your floral prints, patterns, and pastels! The whole event will take place outside in the gardens and we encourage you to dress the party! If you aren't into that sort of thing, no big deal, traditional formal attire is also totally fine. Dos: * Suits, both traditional as well as khaki and other lighter fabrics * Calf and ankle-length dresses, as well as elegant separates and jumpsuits * Floral patterns both in clothing and in accessories like ties and pocket squares * Light layers like a shawl if you aren't wearing a jacket - it can get chilly at night! Don'ts: * Full tuxedos or formal gala gowns - too fancy! Also, dress trains would be dragged through the grass. * Stiletto heals -- you'd sink into the grass * Polos, khakis, skirts above the knee -- too casual!

Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes, children of all ages are welcome! Please let us know if we forgot to include your kids in the RSVP and we will correct it. We look forward to celebrating with your whole family.
Question
Can I bring my friend/ cousin/ Tinder date/ etc...?
Answer
Your invitation will specify the invited guests from your household. Please only bring the people on your invitation, as we are unable to accommodate unexpected guests. While we are not doing open plus-ones, we do wish to include your committed partners. Our heuristic is to invite partners with whom you were already in a serious relationship at the time of our engagement (June 2023) -- please reach out if we missed anyone. We look forward to celebrating with you on the day!
Question
What food will be served, and can you accommodate allergies or restrictions?
Answer
The reception will be a plated banquet, and guests will have a choice of chicken, salmon, or portabello mushroom for entrees (you will select your entree when you RSVP). Please let us know when you RSVP if you have any allergies or other restrictions, and we will do our best to accommodate you. The brunch will be a buffet with a variety of sweet and savory hot breakfast and lunch foods. We will serve light refreshments at the welcome party along with drinks -- please don't plan on this event for dinner as we will not be providing full meal service.
Question
What's the bar situation?
Answer
There will be an open bar at our reception. We will provide two drink tokens per guest for our bar at the welcome party. The Thursday night concert is a public event with a cash bar. Brunch will be dry. Please do not bring any outside beverages to wedding events. Vermont has very strict liquor laws and we don't want to spoil the fun with that sort of trouble.
