FAQs

Question

What is the nearest airport to the wedding venue?

Answer

The Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport is the closest airport to the venue and it is about an hour drive.

Question

Is there transportation available in the area?

Answer

We have been told that Uber and Lyft service is limited around the wedding venue, but you'll likely not have any issues getting one from the airport to the venue (or your accommodation). We recommend scheduling ahead for a pickup you'll need back to the airport or renting a car at the airport. You can also reach out to the Monroe County Airport Taxi Service by calling 585-202-8240 or visiting the Taxi Cab Starter Booth at the Rochester International Airport, located in front of the main terminal, center entrance way, lower level.

Question

Where should I stay the weekend of the wedding?

Answer

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Rochester Webster is the closest hotel to the wedding venue and is conveniently located halfway between the venue and airport. You can access a discounted rate clicking on the link to the hotel on the Travel & Lodging section of this website. There are several other accommodation options we have included on the Travel & Lodging section of this website. Let us know if you're willing to share a house with others and we would be happy to link up interested parties.

Answer

With the exception of a few specifically included children and teens in the wedding party, the wedding and events surrounding it are adults only.

Question

Will there be alcohol available?

We recommend sunglasses for the ceremony as it will take place on the waterfront outdoors.
