Q&A
Question
How can I get to the venue?
Answer
We will have a complimentary shuttle service running at the beginning of the event, starting roughly at 4:30pm and ending at 5:30pm, which will pick up guests from the Holiday Inn Express and take them to the Culinary Institute of America. There will be a return shuttle service as well starting roughly at 9:15pm and ending at 10:15pm. To see the full schedule visit our "Travel" page. If you feel that you would prefer to drive yourself there is parking directly next to the venue space. There are also Uber/Lyft/car hire options, but please note that due to the busy event season in the area it may take some time for your ride to pick you up.
Question
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
Answer
The dress code is semi-formal. PLEASE NOTE: The event will be held outside the whole evening. There will be outdoor heaters, but should you run on the colder side, we recommend bringing a jacket or wrap to keep yourself extra warm.
Question
WHAT IS SEMI-FORMAL?
Answer
Semi-Formal or Dressy Casual Part of dressing for a semi-formal or dressy casual wedding is taking the time of the wedding into account. Wear darker, more formal colors for an evening wedding,and opt for light colors and fabrics for a daytime event. Try a below-the-knee dress or a dressy skirt and top. An elegant pantsuit is also appropriate. Floor-length gowns, however, would be inappropriate. Pair with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats. If the ceremony is being held outdoors and you'll be walking across a lawn, avoid traditional heels that will likely get stuck in the grass. Men should wear a dress shirt and slacks, dark or light depending on the time of day, with the option to wear a tie. "Semiformal gives you flexibility on comfort, but be sure not to dress too casual"
