FAQs & COVID-19 Updates

Question

How many people will be attending?

Answer

In adherence to the New York State re-opening guidelines (and take additional precautions to keep our family safe), we've decided to have a hybrid in-person/online wedding with less than 90 people joining in person. Thank you for respecting this tough decision. We promise the online experience will be more than another Zoom meeting.

Question

What types of protocols are in place in light of the pandemic?

Answer

Guests joining in person must have proof of either 1. A negative PCR within 72 hours of the event. Please do not get a test prior to Wednesday, June 23rd. 2. Proof of a negative rapid test within six hours of the event - no later than 9am on Saturday, June 26th. 3. Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination within three months of the event. Temperatures will also be checked. Please bring your own mask.

Answer

Yes! We will live stream the ceremony and have a special virtual reception hosted by DJ Aus. Erin and Nicole will join the live stream throughout the virtual reception to interact with everyone. Stay tuned for more details on how to join from home (and be sure to RSVP! You may receive a little treat at your doorstep.)

Question

Are masks required?

Answer

Per the New York State guidelines, masks will be required at all times except when seated and eating or drinking.

Question

Does your wedding have a theme?

Answer

Our theme is a garden party. Imagine the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic meets Bridgerton.

Question

What should I wear to the ceremony? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is garden cocktail attire. Summery colors like pastels, florals, coral, turquoise, and shades of tan and grey are definitely a great choice. For men, a seersucker or semi-formal suit of almost any color, dress shirt, and tie is appropriate. We invite you to embrace the theme with florals, hats, and fascinators if it tickles your fancy! If in doubt, cocktail attire is also appropriate. Note: The venue is handicap accessible.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be indoors. The reception venue is a mixed indoor/outdoor space with a lovely outdoor courtyard and rooftop garden.

In June, average daily highs range from from 74°F to 80°F, rarely falling below 62°F or exceeding 89°F. Daily low temperatures range from from 54°F to 61°F.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Question

Will there be any vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/special diet options?

Answer

Vegan and vegetarian options will definitely be provided. Please share your dietary restrictions on the RSVP card provided to you so we can accommodate you.

Question

Why do you have charities on your registry?

We commit to stewarding all cash donations according to the designated purpose.
