FAQ

Question

Where are the wedding ceremony and reception taking place?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony and reception will both take place at The Garrison in Garrison, NY, about an hour north of New York City. The ceremony will be outdoors, weather permitting, and the reception indoors. We can't wait for you to see the view!

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at The Garrison at 5pm.

Question

What is the COVID policy?

Answer

For the safety of our loved ones, especially those that are immunocompromised, we ask that you take a COVID test within 24 hours ahead of our wedding events. Effective 12/31/21, consistent with directives from NY State, the Garrison implemented revised venue health and safety policies requiring full vaccination for attendees, patrons, volunteers, vendors and employees at all future events and reservations. Full vaccination is defined as at least two doses of Pfizer/Moderna or at least one dose of J&J, 2 or more weeks prior to the wedding. The Garrison is equipped with hospital-grade (MERV 13) filters to assist with ventilation. We will update you if any changes are made. Thank you for your understanding!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding ceremony and reception is black-tie optional / formal. For example, a floor-length gown, formal cocktail dress, or dressy pants suit. For men, a tuxedo or suit and tie.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

While we would love to celebrate with everyone, we are only able to accommodate those we list on your RSVP form due to The Garrison's space constraints.

Question

Are kids welcome?
