Question

When is the RSVP deadline? Do I need to mail back my RSVP or can I do it online?

Yes, we have blocks at 2 hotels- Hyatt House, & Courtyard by Marriott. (Please visit the 'Travel' page for Hotel links/Discount codes.)

Other hotels in the nearby Fishkill area include: SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express.

There are many available Airbnb's in Garrison, Fishkill, and neighboring towns, too!
