FAQs

The Wedding Website of Ray Malo and Stephanie Downes
Question

What's this dress code mean?

Answer

Catskills Cocktail is pretty meaningless, but we just want everyone to feel comfortable and look hot! Suits, dresses, and the like, and shoes that can handle some grass. Expect temps to dip in the evening, it's the mountains after all.

Question

Are our children invited to the wedding?

Answer

No. The wedding ceremony and reception is adults only. Newborns are the exception!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the venue?

Answer

Yes, we've arranged for a shuttle to pick everyone up from their Airbnbs, but only in the towns of Bloomville, Bovina, South Kortright, and Hobart. When you book a house in one of these towns, text or email us the address and we'll add you to the route. There won't be a shuttle to and from Welcome Drinks, so please plan accordingly.

Question

What's the venue like?

Answer

Mark's Good Apples is a 200-acre farm (owned by John and Yoko in the '70s!) with an active orchard, and a dreamy farmhouse and barn from 1790. And we're going to party in ALL OF THEM.

Question

What sort of weather should we expect?

Answer

Crossing our fingers it'll be as nice as it’s been the past few years. Daytime temperatures will likely be in the 60s or 70s, and September is generally the dryest month up here. Stephanie’s mom, Wendy, has described the weather in Delaware County as “psychotic,” and it’s true. It can change five times in an hour.

Question

I didn't see a place to choose my food option, what's for dinner?

Answer

Dinner will be big, beautiful, and buffet-style. You'll have lots to choose from regardless of dietary restrictions, but please reach out if you have any specific allergies or restrictions we need to consider.

Question

How's the cell reception up there?

Answer

Not great! Best to have directions pulled up while you're still on Wifi.

Question

What should we do in our down time?

Answer

Check our Things to Do page - there's a lot to see and do nearby. A perfect weekend itinerary, in Ray's opinion would be: Friday - dinner at 80 Main or the Andes Hotel before our welcome drinks at Brushland Eating House // Saturday - breakfast at Hollow, shops in Delhi, hike the Andes Rail Trail and sneak in a pre-wedding beer at Wayside Cider // Sunday - stop at Cellar Door Wines and Solinsky's on your way out of town

For all the days along the way
