Question
Can I take pictures or videos during the ceremony?
Answer
While we appreciate the love and enthusiasm you have for us, we kindly ask that all guests refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. We want to create a meaningful, distraction-free moment for everyone—especially for us at the altar. We’ve hired a professional photographer to capture everything beautifully, and we promise to share those photos with you afterward. Please keep phones and cameras tucked away until the ceremony has ended. Thank you for understanding!

Boat Information
Answer
There will be two complimentary boats transporting guests to and from Boldt Castle for the ceremony. A one-way boat ride will last approximately one hour, with the boat ride to the ceremony likely being slightly shorter than the boat ride back to the reception venue. Each boat is covered with a roof and features isinglass windows, which can be rolled up or down depending on the weather—so you'll be comfortable rain or shine. All boats are also equipped with restrooms for your convenience. We hope you have an amazing time enjoying the scenic views of the Thousand Islands! For the times of boat departures, please see our Schedule section.
