FAQs

Question

Where will the wedding & reception be?

Answer

Our wedding and reception will be held at the home of our friends Sylven and Melanie and their daughters Myiah and Shyanne. The address for the event is 4601 Post Road, East Greenwich, RI. Note that google doesn’t display the correct buildings. The drive is accessed from Post Road and we will mark the drive entrance!

Question

Parking and Getting to the Wedding

Answer

We recommend a ride share to get to the wedding and using the address for East Winds Dry Cleaner, 4619 Post Road. Lyft cars can drop you off in that parking lot more safely and you can walk up the drive to the house. If you are driving to the wedding, street parking is available on Division Street, a short walk from the house.

Question

What should we wear?

Answer

We are planning a garden wedding in July and want our guests to be festive, comfortable and chic. Linen, seersucker, and fabulous hats are highly recommended (though we don't recommend shoes with heels that sink in the grass.) Temperatures could be high 70's to mid 80's Fahrenheit. We are not on the ocean but very near it so evening could get cool.

Question

Kids are welcome!

Answer

We expect kids of all ages and will have lawn games and dancing and some kid friendly foods.

Question

Picnicking!

Answer

If you are local, please bring a picnic basket and blanket to the event. If you are traveling from out of town, we will have an outfitted basket for you when you arrive at 4601 Post Road. There will also be tables and chairs and other seating arrangements if lolling on your blanket all day isn't your cuppa.

Question

Pets at Wedding

Answer

Sadly, we won’t be bringing our dog Rosie to the wedding and we ask that you find other arrangements for your pets. This is a large property near a busy road with limited fencing and there will also be a lot of children. Please leave your pets at home!

Question

Anna’s Engagement Ring

Answer

When Anna was a college student, her mom, Bernardine, showed her an old family ring that had belonged to Mary Bassett, Anna’s great grandmother. Though the diamond had been removed for Bernardine’s engagement ring, the setting was a beautiful Art Deco design and fit Anna perfectly. At some point Anna made mention of the ring to Kassie. Kassie remembered and asked Bernardine if she could present it as Anna’s engagement ring. Bernardine gave us both the setting and her engagement ring and we were able to reset the diamond. It’s a wonderful heirloom and we are so happy to renew its life as a symbol of our love.
