There will be food, an open bar, and music. Probably no dancing so you can leave your dancing shoes at home. But we do recommend steady footwear for the outdoor patio. Our private event at Ollie's is from 12:00 PM -3:00 PM, but guests are welcome to stay at the restaurant and continue to hang out as regular patrons until 4:30 PM, at which point our party will be asked to leave.

Things To Do
Darlings
This is a cool space with delicious food and fun cocktails about 10 minutes from our wedding venue.
Rosendale Trestle
This 22-mile span of the Empire State Trail (which will eventually connect NYC to Montreal via bike path) goes from New Paltz to Kingston. It is a great walking and biking trail (rails to trails) for all levels and you can jump on at many points along the way and do a shorter or longer walk. The Rosendale Trestle is a highlight and is a short distance from Ollie's.
Chleo
This upscale wine bar and restaurant in Kingston comes highly recommended - it's owned and run by our wedding officiant (Anne)'s sister!
D&H Canal Historical Society
Yes, this is where we're getting married. But, there won't be that much time at the event to check out the actual museum. We think it's worth popping in to check out the actual museum.
Hiking in the Area
There's plenty of hiking in this area! Leah recommends using this website to find trails.
Things to Do in New Paltz
New Paltz is home to SUNY New Paltz and has the kind of vibe you'd expect from a hippie, upstate, college town.
Brotherhood, America's Oldest Winery
America's oldest winery! On the way between NYC and High Falls (about an hour drive from High Falls). We enjoy it and they have a canned sangria that's fun!
Mudd Puddle Coffee Roasters
We like this coffee shop for a pre or post hike snack and it is in a cute outdoor mall.
Things to Do in Kingston
Kingston was the first capital of New York in 1777. It's historic and the only city in Ulster County (New Paltz is an incorporated town).
Masa Turkish Restaurant
This restaurant came highly recommended! "Really good, reasonable prices"
FAQs
Question
Is upstate New York pizza as good as New York City pizza?
Answer
You will have to judge for yourself.
Question
Can I Bring My Dog?
Answer
Well behaved dogs are certainly welcome outside at DH Canal and Ollies. If you think your pup will have any issues being around a lot of people, other dogs, and food please leave them at home. Any disruptive animals will be asked to leave Ollies.
Question
Will Louie Be at the Wedding?
Answer
Louie will not be attending the ceremony since he has a reputation for being loud if he is not given full attention. However, because he is very handsome and gets away with it based on his good looks, he has managed to find himself a chauffeur driver and will be attending the pizza party.
