Welcome to the Wedding Weekend! Please join the families after their rehearsal dinner for this awesome welcome event. Hosted by the fantastic Darby Family, known for great parties! There will be open bar and lite fare. WOO!
This is a very cool, hipster-tastic restaurant in Lancaster's refurbished Cork Factory Hotel. swagswagswag. Please dress for a cocktail party. But make sure you're comfy; we know you just traveled!
12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Saturday is a day off between festivities. So come hang out and learn a few favorite Greek dances before the wedding! Greek dances are so, so fun and will be an important part of the reception. We would love for everyone to know a bit about them before the big night.
We'll be outside in our backyard, so wear flats and comfy clothes.
5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Furthering your day-off options, in true filmmaker fashion we’ve rented the local art house theater to screen one of our favorite films! A cool way to hang before the big day, and to welcome anyone who traveled in on Saturday. Join us for food and drinks beforehand! If you want a sit-down dinner, please make your own reservation with Zoetropolis for any time. And drinks are on you for this one. Trust us: we'll come through for you on Sunday ;) But if you just want pizza and burgers, please join us as early as 5:00 pm to enjoy a small buffet hosted by the bride's Godparents Catherine and Joseph Aulisio. A series of the couples' films will screen from 5:30 - 6:30 pm. Then we'll start the mystery movie at 6:30 pm! Be cool, be comfy.

We made it! Dress however makes you feel your most fancy and fly :) In this enchanted forest, nothing is too much (seriously.) Sensible shoes are REQUIRED, however, as we will be entirely on grass. We also recommend bringing layers because we'll be outside and partying all night (seriously.)
Arrive as early as 3:15 to enjoy the view and some fun activities. The hotel shuttles are set to land at 3:30. The ceremony starts at 4:00. *Please be prepared to stash your phones well out of site.* There will be a cocktail hour with au d'oeuvres and (of course) charcuterie while we flit around you taking pictures. Then to kick off the reception we are going to FLOAT. A Float is a roaming, silent-disco, ecstatic dance party. Headphones will be provided so we all hear the same music at the same time. We will all be lead on a musical journey around the venue grounds before arriving at the reception area. PLEASE be prepared to dance, traverse uneven terrain, and lose yourself in Joy. The usual weddings stuff to follow: dinner, dranks, etc. We don't get kicked out of the venue until 8:00 am on Monday morning, soooo.... Settle in, buckle up, dress fancy, get dancey, letsgooooo.
