Is there a hotel room block?
Yes, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn Batavia. It is about a half hour drive from the venue. If you’d like to book there, just call and mention “the Phillips/Valincourt wedding” so they can give you the discounted rate. Please book your stay by May 14th to ensure a room in our block.
When is the RSVP date?
We ask that you please reply by May 26th. If we have not received a response after sending out a reminder, we will need to assume you will not be attending. You can also RSVP directly at this link: https://www.theknot.com/us/alli-phillips-and-zach-valincourt-jul-2025/rsvp
Will I be able to bring a plus one?
Anyone who is single and not in a relationship is more than welcome to bring a guest. When you RSVP, you’ll have the option to indicate if a guest will be attending with you.
When should I arrive?
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm. We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time to allow extra time for any delays you may encounter and plenty of time to be seated.
What kind of bar will there be?
There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception. It will be closed for one hour during dinner.
What is the address for the ceremony and reception?
The venue location is the Sterling at Arrowhead. The address is 12292 Clarence Center Road Akron, NY 14001.
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Our afternoon ceremony will be outdoors on the “island” while cocktail hour and the reception will take place indoors with air conditioning. Guests will walk to the ceremony on paved and heel-friendly pathways.
Where should I park?
There are two venues onsite. The first one on the right hand side when you pull down the road is the Timberlodge. You will want to go past this one towards the end of the road where you will see the Sterling on the right as well. There is a large parking lot directly across from the venue.
Can I leave my car overnight?
Yes, all vehicles can be left at the venue overnight.
What is the wedding dress code?
Kindly dress in cocktail attire for the occasion. For women this may include dresses or elegant separates; for men suits or dress pants paired with a dress shirt are appropriate.
Am I allowed to bring my children?
We love your children but we have decided to keep this an adults only event aside from our own children. If you’d like to bring a younger guest as your plus one, we ask that you keep it to those 18 and older.
Where should we bring/send our gift?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift you can have it delivered to our home at 335 Willowbrooke Drive Brockport, NY 14420. We will be moving shortly though so a quick message to verify the address beforehand would be appreciated. There will also be a card box at our reception.
What time will the wedding reception end?
Our reception will end around 11pm.
Can I take photos at your wedding?
We kindly ask that you keep our ceremony “unplugged” and refrain from taking any photos or videos then as we want to enjoy the moment with all of our loved ones. We have multiple professional vendors who will be taking photos and video. However after the ceremony, feel free to take as many as you’d like!
