Unfortunately there are not good options for hotels or Airbnbs close to the venue. We recommended hotels that are close to the welcome drinks and where Gabby and Joe live. The Webster/Penfield area has many hotel options, is safe, and has lots to do. The hotels we recommended are about a 20 minute drive to the venue.
Guys should wear suits and gals should wear cocktail dresses or gowns (or a jumpsuit because who doesn't love a jumpsuit?). All wedding events are taking place inside but there is an outdoor patio area along the river to get some fresh air or have a drink out there.
Respectfully, no. Enjoy a night out! You may show up and see a kid or two during the ceremony but those are a couple of Ms. Gruttadaro's special students who got a ceremony-only invite.
There will not be a bridal shower. We hope one less event makes it even more possible that you can come in for the big day on 10/11/25!
