Yes. All guests (age 12+) and staff will be required to be fully vaccinated in order to attend the wedding. We understand this may be an inconvenience for some, but these measures are put in place for the safety and health of our guests. We also want everyone to have a great time and not worry about anything! For any questions or concerns about our vaccination requirement, please call, text or email Caitlin or Eric as soon as possible. We thank you in advance for honoring this request, and can't wait to celebrate with you soon!
For your safety and convenience, there will be a bus to take you from your hotel to the wedding location and then will return you to the hotel after the wedding. The bus will depart on 10/16 from the Fairfield Inn promptly at 3:30 p.m. and depart from the Hotel Northampton at 3:45 p.m. Please be ready to board (with a mask) before that time. (If you have not RSVP'd already, please contact Susan May at 925-413-0937, and we will try to accommodate you.) Also please call that number if you are planning to drive as parking and GPS directions can be tricky and will need further explanation.
Cocktail attire: For ladies, think cocktail dresses, midi/maxi dresses, or dressy jumpsuits; and for men, khaki or dark slacks would be perfect.
The RSVP deadline is August 31. Please respond online for your convenience. (If it turns out at a later date that you cannot attend, please contact us ASAP so we can adjust our count accordingly.)
The wedding is on the grounds of Eric's childhood home. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside, and the dinner and reception will be under a big heated tent.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 p.m. If you are taking the shuttle, it will depart from the Fairfield Inn promptly at 3:30 p.m. and from the Hotel Northampton at 3:45 p.m. with plenty of time to grab a cup of hot cider and find a seat.
After the ceremony there will be an open bar and appetizers available, before going into the tent for an evening of dinner and dancing! (See Schedule page for more detail.)
Yes, of course! If posting, feel free to use the couple's wedding hashtag, #MayBeLees
Yes! On Friday evening, October 15, there will be an opportunity to join others for a no-host gathering at the Coolidge Park Cafe (the bar at The Hotel Northampton), and on Sunday morning, October 17, there will be a bagel breakfast for all, also at the hotel (please RSVP) and an informal gathering at a nearby bar for mimosas and Bloody Marys! (See Schedule page for more details.)
Caitlin's parents are Patrick and Susan May, and Eric's parents are Jon and Martha Lees (who have graciously allowed us to have our wedding on their beautiful property where their two daughters were also wed). They look forward to seeing/meeting all of you at the wedding!
