4:30 pm - 7:45 pm
This is a casual event for everyone to get a chance to meet and welcome you all to Vermont. Dress expectations - more American 4th of July BBQ than dressy. Shorts and polos, summer dresses, all acceptable, though feel free to dress up more if you like.
We will have a yellow school bus making a loop to these stops: 1. Quechee Inn @ Marshland Farms (1119 Quechee Main St, Quechee, VT 05059) 2. Quality Inn Quechee Gorge (5817 Woodstock Rd, Quechee, VT 05059) 3. Hampton Inn Parking Lot (104 Ballardvale Dr, White River Junction, VT 05001) 4. Hotel Coolidge (39 S Main St, White River Junction, VT 05001) 5. Dinner location The school bus will be starting at 4:15 PM. The bus will also make loops to drop people off after the dinner. PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! The local moose tend to frown upon that. Dinner will be starting around 5-5:15. We have the pavilion all day, so people will be there from 2-3 pm on, if not earlier. There is a lake, a beach, and a park there. There will be plenty to eat and drink! We do need to leave the park by 8 pm. The bus will likely add a stop to Woodstock for an outdoor concert. You are more than welcome to join us for that. Directions available here: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/251044

We’ve never been the type to take well to other people telling us what we can and can’t wear. So who are we to tell you? This is an outdoor wedding in Vermont. Temps might be in the low 80s, cooler at night. If black tie is your style, go for it. If your taste is more low-key for a July wedding in rural Vermont, also go for it. Only request – no shorts on men unless you are under the age of 12
On Saturday, there will be a yellow school bus making a loop starting at 3:30 PM from the same locations to take people TO the wedding (Quechee Inn @ Marshland Farms (1119 Quechee Main St, Quechee, VT 05059)). The official wedding party goes until 10 PM. There will be an after party at the venue. From 9 pm on, we will have a taxi making rounds to take people back to their hotels. This will be running until 1 am. We decided that this would be most convenient so that people can leave at their leisure and have a safe way to return to their hotel. (Unfortunately, this means that not everyone can leave at the same time via the taxi. Uber and Lyft options are sparse.) Ceremony and party are at same location. Ceremony to begin promptly at 4:30, followed by cocktails, dinner, and dancing.
8:00 am - 11:00 am
The festivities are over, but we can't have you head home on an empty stomach. Join us for breakfast before hitting the road for home. We know it's early and we'll be hanging out in the area all day, so no worries if you aren't a morning person or had too much fun at the wedding.
