Anyone that doesn't upload a pet will have a photo of Hattie :) Please add a photo of your pet here (copy into browser): https://forms.gle/eEsLHK4gm5ANsER98

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than Friday, May 1st, 2026.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Please see our hotel blocks with Graduate by Hilton and Nassau Inn on the Travel page. If you have a car or are willing to Uber, there are many more hotels (including more cost-effective options) along Route 1 and a few AirBnBs.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unless your guest is explicitly listed on the Save the Date or RSVP, we kindly ask that no additional guests be brought to the event.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We request black-tie optional attire for the wedding. Tuxes are not required but welcome. Summery gowns, cocktail dresses, and suits with ties are also appropriate. Above all, we want you to be comfortable so you'll join us on the dance floor!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! A complimentary shuttle will depart from the front of Graduate Hotel at 4:30pm to Grounds for Sculpture and return at 11pm. Even if you are staying at Nassau Inn or elsewhere, we encourage you to use the shuttle.

Question

Will the wedding be outdoors?

Answer

Weather permitting, the ceremony will be outdoors in the sculpture garden. Please wear sunscreen if needed, and keep in mind that the grass may be soft when selecting your footwear. The cocktail hour and reception will be held on a covered patio and indoors.

Question

What time will the reception end and will there be an after party?

Answer

The reception will end at 11pm. An after party will follow in downtown Princeton, though details are still being arranged.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes! Please let us know as soon as possible about any dietary restrictions so we can coordinate options with the caterer.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, any guests who are driving to the ceremony should park at Rat's Restaurant (not the general Grounds for Sculpture parking lot). From there, you will be directed to the ceremony.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We will have an "unplugged" ceremony and kindly ask that you refrain from taking any photos or videos. Our officiant will let you know at what point you can snap a picture!
