Welcome Family and Friends

Thank you for joining us in our beautiful journey! We look forward to being surrounded by our amazing family and friends for our wedding day. Please find ceremony and reception details, as well as suggested accommodations below. We strongly encourage you to look for an Airbnb, as hotel prices are getting out of hand. You might also consider staying in a nearby town. We do apologize for our oversight. We have a registry with HoneyFund, as well as with Bloomingdales - the latter link is towards the bottom of the page. If you have questions, please do email us. Thank you in advance for traveling and for celebrating with us! We cannot wait to see you!
