FAQs
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
Wherever you like! We suggest booking a hotel or Airbnb in Saugerties, Kingston, Maldon on Hudson, or Woodstock. Personally, we think Airbnbs are the way to go, but we have put a couple of suggestions for hotels and bed and breakfasts in the area on the travel page. As it is a holiday weekend, we suggest booking as soon as possible to get the best selection and price.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Wear something that brings you joy! We suggest you wear vintage or timelessly glamourous clothes with some dancing shoes. Think garden party chic. Please no jeans or t-shirts. Bonus points if your outfit is thrifted, double bonus points if you make any part of your outfit yourself.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to COVID, we are keeping our wedding pretty small. If we indicated a plus one on your invitation then please bring your significant other, if not then please come solo.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes! We would love to have your kiddos at the wedding. If you have young kids, please sit on the outer aisles just in case you need to step out with your kid during the ceremony. There will be plenty of kid-friendly food options. If your kid will sit on your lap during the ceremony and or reception, please let us know when you RSVP.
Question
What COVID precautions will you have at the wedding?
Answer
Every guest over a year old must be fully vaccinated and boosted to come to the wedding. No exceptions! Many of our friends and family are immunocompromised and some others are too young to get vaccinated and we want to keep all of them safe. Masks are not required to attend, though we welcome their use and respect all guests who choose to wear them at the wedding. In addition, we ask that before you travel to the wedding you take a COVID test. If you test positive, please let us know and stay home!
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Yes! Please choose a member of your party to be the designated driver and consider carpooling with people who are staying in the same place as you. Lyfts and Ubers are also available in Saugerties but may not be plentiful.
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
Yes, sort of. We are so thankful you want to give us a gift. We have been living together for a couple of years now and we have outfitted our home pretty fully. In addition, we try to buy most things secondhand to reduce our environmental impact. If you check out our registry, we have included a couple of items we would like to invest in and some experiences that we would love to do together. If you would rather send us a gift outside of Zola, Ruth's Venmo handle is @Ruth-Hollander, Eric's Paypal is ericbalgley@gmail.com, and if you want to mail a gift, we live at 170 Hall Street, Apt 2 Brooklyn, NY 11205.
