FAQs
Question
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/business-casual attire. Ladies should wear dresses or dress pants, and gentlemen should wear a shirt and tie with dress pants.
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will take place outdoors by Otsego Lake. The reception will occur indoors at the Otesaga Hotel. In the event of rain, an alternate location will be utilized for the ceremony. Fall weather in upstate New York can be unpredictable. Just like when the happy couple goes hiking, layers are recommended.

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the day. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.
