FAQs

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

"Lakeside Gala" is our way of saying Black-Tie optional. Women should be in long dresses (think Met Gala meets Vogue) and men should just try to keep up in suits or tuxes. As long as you look sharp, don't stress out about it too much. Be mindful of your footwear as some aspects of the evening will require walking on grass.

Question

Will there be bus shuttles to the wedding?

Answer

There will be bus shuttles leaving from the Hampton Inn Middletown / Courtyard by Marriott Middletown promptly at 5:15pm on Saturday. There will be return buses from Cedar Lakes Estate to the hotels every half an hour starting at 10:30pm and ending at 2:30am.

Question

What should I bring?

Answer

If you know anything about Sarah, she has likely already made a packing list in her Moleskinne notebook.
