Question

Is there a hotel block?

Answer

Yes! We reserved a hotel block at the Olde Mill Inn, where all of the wedding festivities will be taking place. You can find the online booking link under the travel tab on our website, or by calling The Olde Mill Inn directly at (908) 221-1100 and booking under the Gargano/O'Donnell wedding hotel block. If you are unable to secure a room there, we recommend the Courtyard by Marriott Basking Ridge, conveniently located nearby.
