Schedule

Come party with the newlyweds! Join us for a laid-back reception party at our home in Duanesburg, NY. We'll be getting hitched Thursday night in a small ceremony and invite you to celebrate round two! Since this isn't a traditional reception, there is no set schedule, but here are some things to know... This event will be held outside (or in the barn depending on mother nature) on our farmhouse property. Food will be served at 5pm and drinks will be flowing with some tunes for those who bring their boogie shoes. We'll cap the night off with a blazing bonfire & s'mores to share! While our DJ ends at 10, after-party festivities will continue for those staying on the property and the night owls among us. The dress code is: there isn't one! Wear what's comfortable for maximum fun.

Travel

For our guests coming from out of town, there are a lot of options including hotels (we have a block at the Courtyard Marriot in Schenectady) + Airbnbs. Note that summer in Upstate NY is track season, so places fill up quickly + we encourage you to book early! For those who wish to stay on our property, you are more than welcome to bring a tent and camp out (we also have extra tents if needed) - just let us know if you plan to stay. If you are driving to the property, parking will be available in the Princetown church lot next to our properties, with a walking path connecting the two. The address is 3662 Giffords Church Rd, Duanesburg, NY 12056. The closest airport is Albany International, but we are within ~3 hours of Logan, La Guardia, and JFK.

Friends and family are more than welcome to set up tents and camp out on our property if they choose to. There will be access to outdoor restrooms (although you're welcome to use them inside, of course!) and there is plenty of space for anyone who'd like to stay...plus lots of fireflies!

FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code for the party?

Answer

No. During the summer months, the property is lush, full sun, and our garden paths are either mulched or stone so we encourage you to wear comfortable shoes. We will have tents and tables set up for shade and lawn games so please wear what you'll feel best in (shorts, sneakers, sandals are all OK, but feel free to jazz it up) as we we want you to enjoy the party, not worry about wardrobe malfunctions.

Question

Are kids invited to attend?

Answer

While we would love to host everyone, we will only be including children on several, specific invitations (those that indicate "family/and family"). If that's you and you decide to come without kiddos, we just ask that you indicate who will be attending on your RSVP.

Question

What's the parking situation?

Answer

The Princetown church is right next to our property and is allowing us to use their parking lot for the day/evening of the event. There will be a marked path connecting the two properties. Please be respectful of their space if you choose to park there. While you can see it from our home, the address is 3662 Giffords Church Rd, Duanesburg, NY 12056.

Question

What kind of food will be served and how can I share dietary restrictions?

Answer

Our caterers will be providing a number of different summer staples and barbeque, along with vegan/vegetarian options for our herbivores. If you have a specific food allergy, please indicate that on your RSVP.

Question

What about gifts?

Answer

We know our celebration is unconventional and do not expect gifts or for you to feel compelled, we're just happy to have you! However, should you decide you want to give a gift, you can check out our registry.
