Question

How do I get onto the island for the ceremony/reception?

Answer

Guests will be transported onto the island by an Uncle Sam's Boat. This boat will pick up guests from the Uncle Sam's dock at 2:30 PM. The boat ride is about 5 minutes long. The boat will only be making one trip to Cherry Island. It is important you are on time. If you miss the boat, please call Phil at 315-439-1236.

Question

How do I leave the island if I wanted to leave before the reception ended?

Answer

Starting at 6 PM, the owner of the house/island, along with some others, will be available to individually transport guests on a boat right to the hotel, The Edgewood Resort. If you choose to leave the island before the reception ends at 10 PM, you can't have a transport back onto the island so make sure you really want to leave!
