Question

Is everyone invited to the Welcome Drink party?

Answer

YES! All are welcome : ) Lin and Joe Hart have generously decided to provide an open bar for all wedding guests from 8pm - 10pm (cash bar to follow) at ArtsRiot the evening before the wedding. Should you arrive before 8pm feel free to get started early! The wedding party will arrive post rehearsal dinner at 8pm but we encourage all guests to head over to ArtsRiot to enjoy the Food Truck Event taking place. We have reserved a private room for just our guests to make sure to check in with the host when you arrive. Free parking is available across the street from ArtsRiot in the parking lot behind the Maltex building http://www.artsriot.com/truckstop/

Question

Are kids invited to the wedding?

Answer

Sadly, No : ( We simply don't have the room BUT if you don't mind leaving the kiddos with a sitter on Saturday night we highly recommend Vermont Nanny Connection. Their babysitters are screened and experienced and come highly recommended by both The Marriott courtyard and Hotel Vermont. They offer in-house hotel sitting but do require at least 48 Hours notice so please plan ahead! http://vermontnannyconnection.com/in-house-hotel-sitting.html
