To many it may seem macabre to want to celebrate your love around the dead, and many people equate death with sadness. Historically, cemeteries were our first parks, and families would spend much of their free time living around the dead, keeping them alive through including livelihood within the cemetery walls. Most importantly, we believe that the dead deserve to celebrate and experience happiness of those who remain on this Earth. Krysten has been researching and studying historical headstone symbolism and funerary history, and as such as feel this venue makes the most sense for us. Please join us in breathing life and happiness into a beautiful historic location.
Both the cemetery and Katie’s of Smithtown are places that are extremely near and dear to our hearts. Please treat both of these places with the utmost respect, as we know you all will. But let’s have a good time and party the night away!
Since the venues for our ceremony and wedding are not super formal, we ask that you wear cocktail attire (no jeans please). If it is at all possible I would really appreciate if everyone wears neutral colors, ideally black or gray. Since the wedding is 2 days after Halloween we welcome you to bring a Halloween mask if you have one already! Please do not wear a costume or any political clothing (please, please, please, I am begging you).
Yes, absolutely. We have The Rollin Ghost food truck, catered Italian food and dessert! We will not be having a formal dinner.
If you plan to attend the ceremony, please be at the cemetery in the back right corner by 4:45 PM as ceremony will promptly begin at 5 PM. People who run the ceremony will be there to direct parking so cars do not appear in the background of our photos. If you plan to attend the reception, the bar opens its doors at 6 and the Bride and Groom and close family and friends will arrive between 6 and 6:30 after we finish taking photos. You do not need to be there at any particular time, or stay until the end. We want this to be as enjoyable for you as it is for us, and we just appreciate you coming by and giving us your best wishes and love!
We love your children, however since we are having a party in a bar, we ask that the attendees be 21+.
Please RSVP by text, email or on this website by September 28, 2024.
