Parking for the ceremony is on Gorham Street and side streets as well as a parking lot a block away at Ontario and Pleasant street. (GPS to Parking Lot: 25 Pleasant St, Canandaigua, NY 14424) If you’re from out of town without a car please contact Pat or I and we can work on getting you a ride with someone. We have added a photo of the parking map to the bottom of our homepage. https://www.zola.com/wedding/patrickandlydia There is plenty of parking for the reception at the Canandaigua Country Club so no worries there.
We want our guests to dress comfortably and to express themselves. Bohemian cocktail is meant to encourage you to wear something that is a little on the eccentric side if you are interested. If the "bohemian" throws you off: "Cocktail Attire" would be wonderful. Just be yourself because we love YOU!
Unfortunately, this is a predominantly adult event. Exceptions include the wedding party and young adults in high school that were specified on your invitation. Not bringing your children means you get the night off!
You can kick it in my parents back yard with the snacks, go back to your hotel room for a little bit, stop and get some ice cream, take some pictures by the lake... there is no official thing you’re expected to do. Just have fun and enjoy the hour or two of down time!
For those of you who are interested in adult beverages: We will have an open bar for wine and beer starting at 6pm at the Canandaigua Country Club. The open bar is from 6pm-9pm and the bar will be a cash bar from 9pm-11pm. We will also have water, hot tea and coffee.
