We chose West Point for our wedding because we loved the beautiful scenery along the Hudson River and the elegant ballroom at The Thayer Hotel. Even though we don’t have a personal connection to West Point, the combination of the stunning views and historic charm felt perfect for us. Plus, with Matt’s love for history, it added an extra special touch to our day.
The wedding day dress code is Formal: Suits and formal dresses are preferred. The wedding party will be wearing Lilac dresses on the wedding day. We kindly request that guests refrain from wearing jeans or casual attire. The Welcome Party is Dressy Casual/Semi-Formal. More details on the dress code for each event can be found on the Schedule Tab.
While we love kids, we have decided to make our wedding an adults-only (18+) event. We appreciate your understanding and hope you can still join us for the celebration.
Due to limited space and wanting to celebrate with our closest friends and family, we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your formal invitation. We thank you for understanding.
