Now that New York State has reached the 70% vaccination threshold, Spillian has relaxed the following regulations: - They no longer need to take temperatures or collect proof of testing or vaccinations. - Our guests do not need to wear masks if they are vaccinated. - We no longer have to worry about social distancing issues. Our personal policy: we need all of our guests to be vaccinated prior to the event, and we will be asking for confirmation with RVSPs, so that our immunocompromised and older loved ones can enjoy the wedding worry free. We also highly encourage a negative PCR or rapid test prior to the event!
No problem! However, we will only be able to arrange shuttle transportation within a certain radius, so please be mindful of that as you are booking accommodations.
Pretty rural! Spotty cell service, no Uber/Lyft—which is why we recommend staying close to the venue and opting in for shuttle service.
If you fly into an NYC airport, you will likely need to rent a car. It's about a 3 hour drive to the venue. If you fly into Albany, you are about 1.5 hours away from Spillian and will likely need to rent a car. Spillian has a parking lot available if you want to drive yourself to and from the wedding. Otherwise, your hotel/Airbnb should offer parking and you will be shuttled to/from the wedding.
Please arrive at 3:30PM for a glass of champagne before the ceremony begins at 4.
If you need to be there earlier than 3:30PM for family photos, rest assured we will be in touch with a detailed schedule as the date gets closer.
We will have shuttles going to the venue pre-ceremony. You should have received an email or text with your shuttle pickup time but just in case: Emerson Resort: 2:45PM Pickup Margaretville Motel: 2:45PM Pickup Breezy Hill Inn: 3:00PM Pickup Fleischmanns (Main St): 3:10PM Pickup Pine Hill: 3:10PM Pickup River Run: 3:15PM Pickup Fleischmanns (Wagner Ave): 3:20PM Pickup The returning shuttle schedule will be available to you at the venue. We will not have shuttle service to the venue for Sunday brunch, so please bear that in mind!
The ceremony and reception will be indoors, so we will be getting married rain or shine!
There's always the possibility of snow in the Catskills in December—in the event of a storm, we will reach out to advise on adjustments to travel. For those renting cars, consider a vehicle with 4WD or AWD to be on the safe side.
