FAQs
Question
How do I get there?
Answer
If you are flying, the closest airport is Pittsburgh (about twenty minutes away). We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn in Beaver Valley and there will be a shuttle to take you to the venue and back. More details and a booking link are in the “Travel” section. There are also plenty of hotel options in downtown Pittsburgh if you would prefer to stay there instead of in Beaver. It takes 30-45 minutes to get from downtown Pittsburgh to Beaver. We will have a shuttle between the Hilton Garden Inn and Beaver Station from about 2:30 - 4 pm to get you to the ceremony and then from about 9:30 - 11 pm after the reception. Uber and Lyft do operate in Beaver, but we recommend booking rides in advance to avoid long waits.
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
Of course! We will have child-friendly food options and you can use the bridal suite as a quiet place for naps, nursing, and other child care related things.
Question
What’s the dress code?
Answer
Dress code is “cocktail” which we think means “look nice, be comfortable.”
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
We are not. We have already combined two households and don’t really need things. We also know that many of you are traveling to celebrate with us. If you would like to contribute to our honeymoon fund, we appreciate that very much, but please do not feel obligated. Alternatively, consider making a donation to one of the following: • Pet Helpers Animal Rescue: https://www.pethelpersinc.org/ • United Nations Children’s Fund: https://www.unicef.org/ • The New York Legal Assistance Group: https://nylag.org/
