Question

Can I bring a plus one? What about kids?

Plus ones are welcome! So are kids! Just let us know the total size of your group so we can make sure we have enough food. There is a playground right by the pavilion, and we will also bring some lawn games.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Question

Is the event outdoors?

Answer

The reception is outdoors, but there is a large shelter.

Question

What about parking?

Answer

The shelter has its own parking lot. If we exceed the capacity of that lot, you can park anywhere along Lake Dr near the shelter. There are no stairs or curbs involved in getting into the shelter, and we are going to reserve some of the spots closest to the shelter for those that need easier access to the space. If you're biking, there are a handful of signs and a fence in the back that you can use to lock up your bike.

Question

If I'm traveling from out of town, where should I stay?

Answer

Oakland, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, and East Liberty are all neighborhoods convenient to the wedding location that also have numerous hotels and Airbnbs/VRBOs. Please also note that a portion of 376--one of the major highways-- will be closed over this weekend. It is not near the wedding location but may impact your travel to and from the city. We'd advise you to avoid the Greenfield, Squirrel Hill South, and Edgewood areas as places to stay or travel through.
