FAQs
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We love your children, but this is an adult-only affair. Please hire yourself a babysitter and have a great night out!
Question
Can I Bring a Guest?
Answer
If you received a plus one, this will appear under your name when you RSVP. Please ensure you are RSVPing for yourself and your guest. Due to limited space, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your invitation.
Question
Who do I make a check out to?
Answer
If you would like to make a check out to the happy couple please fill it out to Michael Carey and Elise Macur or CASH.
Question
What do I do between the ceremony and reception (AKA the "Catholic Gap")?
Answer
There is about 2 hour gap in between the ceremony and reception, this is to allow the bride and groom to get all pictures done so they can enjoy the entire night, cocktail hour included! Please do not go immediately to the reception venue. We recommend grabbing an afternoon coffee nearby (to keep you going on the dance floor), taking a walk on the Newburgh Waterfront, running back to the hotel for your dancing shoes, or grabbing a pre-reception cocktail. There are plenty of places in downtown Newburgh.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! We would like everyone dressed their best for our special day. We request semi-formal / cocktail attire for our wedding. For ladies, a dress/pants below the knee or floor length. For gentlemen, a suit or dress pants and a button-down collared shirt. You can wear any color you like, but we kindly request you do not wear white, ivory, or similar colors. Just a heads up, the groomsmen will be wearing navy blue suits, and the bridesmaids will be in cinnamon colored dresses.
Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
We would like to have an 'unplugged' ceremony. We ask that all phones and similar devices are put away and on silent during the ceremony. We have hired a professional photographer and videographer to capture one of the most important moments of our lives. We would hate to have a well-intentioned person's phone or device blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! We promise to share all ceremony photos with you as soon as we get them.
Question
What if I can't make it?
Answer
You will be dearly missed! Please RSVP accordingly so we can make accurate plans. If you have already RSVP'd yes, and plans have changed, please email us ASAP at macurcareywedding@gmail.com and we will make the necessary change.
Question

Answer

Question
Accessibility
Answer

Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 2pm. We ask that you arrive no later than 1:45 to give you time to park and find a seat. The reception will follow at 5pm. Please take the two hour gap to relax and unwind before arriving to the party! There are many parks, restaurants, and bars in the area you can visit in the downtime.
