We will not be checking vaccination status or requiring a negative test, but ask that all guests be fully vaccinated as we'll be celebrating with immunocompromised guests. If you are feeling unwell, please do not attend and we will understand and appreciate your decision.
For those in town on Friday evening, we welcome you to kick off the weekend with us at Wellington's, located in the Renaissance Hotel, from 8:00 to 10:00pm.
The ceremony will be held at Cornerstone at the Plaza on the Empire State Plaza, and is a short walk from most of the hotels in downtown Albany. A shuttle will be leaving the Renaissance Hotel at 4:30pm to transport guests to the ceremony, for those interested. Cocktail Hour and Reception are a half-mile walk downhill to 90 State Street. There will be a shuttle available after the ceremony for those who prefer not to walk.
For those staying in hotels, we encourage you to leave your car at the hotel and walk, or if needed, utilize the transportation provided. Ceremony: Free parking is available in the Empire State Plaza Visitors Lot (V-Lot), with direct access to the venue via an elevator. For a map, please visit: https://empirestateplaza.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/10/visitor-lots.pdf. Free street parking is also available. Reception & Cocktail Hour: Complimentary valet parking will be available at 90 State Street. For those who need to leave their vehicles overnight, they will be moved to the street. You will then have to coordinate with us to retrieve your keys. So, we encourage you to plan ahead :-) Ubers and Lyfts are also readily available.
Unless explicitly noted on your invitation, we ask that you leave the kids at home and enjoy a night "kid-free".
We love brunch. For those staying at the Renaissance Hotel, please join us for Sunday Brunch in the DeWitt Ballroom between 9:00 and 10:30am.
Don't worry! It's just like a straight wedding. Only ten times more fun.
Neither have we! But we're getting verklempt just thinking about it.
