We kindly ask you to RSVP by July 25th. If you were an early RSVP-er please make sure to go back into the RSVP section of the website and follow the instructions at the top to ensure you didn't miss answering additional important questions regarding the wedding weekend!
YES! We HIGHLY recommend booking your hotel accommodations ASAP! Manchester Vermont is a very popular destination to visit this time of year. Waiting to book until even a few months out will likely result in limited options at a higher cost. If you know you are able to attend the wedding, book your accommodations right away and check out the "Lodging & Travel Recs" page.
Manchester, Vermont, is a popular travel destination, offering a wide range of accommodations for the perfect weekend getaway. Whether you're looking for a 4 star resort, a charming inn, or a cozy cabin on Airbnb, we encourage you to explore all the possibilities to find where you are most comfortable! For a few popular hotels near by The Equinox please see the "Lodging & Travel Recs" page of the website.
There are NO ubers/lyfts or ride share options at this time in Manchester, VT. The hotels provide a list of options for taxi services etc. and much is walkable but we do recommend renting a car if you would like to explore the town and it's beautiful surrounding area! We have listed a couple of options for transportation from airports below and in the "Lodging & Transportation" page as a starting point!
It is our recommendation that you rent a car for the weekend to explore the area and get around easiest. The rental car lot is a short 3-5 minute walk across the street from baggage claim at the Albany airport so very easy to pick up & drop off! It is not a large airport so recommend you make your rental car arrangements when booking your travel. A secondary option would be to coordinate a pick up and drop off through a car/shuttle service. We have listed a few options on the "Lodging & Travel Recs" page. Please that you can arrange for an uber/lyft at Albany airport to Manchester VT but in the town of Manchester itself there is NO ride share apps at this time. If you will not be staying at the Equinox for the weekend please be sure to provide the name of the hotel or address of your Airbnb in your RSVP so we can coordinate shuttling for the wedding.
We kindly request Cocktail attire for our wedding celebration. Ladies, think summer night cocktail/midi/long dresses, jumpsuits, two piece sets. Gents can opt for suits or dress pants with a blazer- tie/bowtie optional. We want our guests to feel comfortable and at their best in whatever they choose to wear for our special day. Look good, feel good. FYI- The ceremony will take place outdoors on a beautiful lawn, followed by a tented reception so keep in mind your appropriate footwear! Short/block heels or wedges for ladies (no stilettos!), dress shoes for gentlemen. Early September in Vermont can bring cooler evening temperatures, so feel free to bring a light shawl or jacket to stay comfortable as the sun sets. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in style!
Although we adore your children, we've chosen to make our special day a grown-ups-only occasion. We hope you can take this opportunity to enjoy a weekend getaway and a fun night of celebrating.
