What are the current Covid restrictions in NY?

We expect about 100 on our special day, and under current NY state and venue guidelines, it is not mandatory to provide proof of vaccine or a negative Covid test. Masks are also no longer required. HOWEVER, we strongly encourage guests to consider getting vaccinated or seek a negative Covid test prior to attending any wedding events. Masks will be available and strongly encouraged when indoors.

Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?

Great news! The ceremony and reception will be at the same venue: the beautiful CV Rich Mansion (305 Ridgeway, White Plains, NY 10605) Weather permitting, the ceremony will be outside, and the reception will be spread out in both the outdoor garden and patio, and inside the mansion. Guest are welcome to choose any table throughout the venue. Again, masks are available and strongly encouraged when inside the mansion.

What happens after the ceremony?

After the ceremony, we will all cheer, and then take some photos of the cheers, perhaps some smiles as well. (Wedding party photos will be done before the ceremony). The reception will immediately follow.

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony will be outdoors in the garden. The reception will be in both the outside garden and inside the mansion. Guests are free to move about the space and find their spot. Play some corn hole in the grass, dance up a storm in the sunroom, or cozy up in one of the antique rooms with a nice glass of your favorite drink. Again, when moving about inside the mansion, masks will be available and strongly encouraged.

Your invitation says 4:00 but I'm a rebel. When do I have to be there?

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 and any stragglers will kindly be asked to awkwardly stand near the back in shame until joining the party after.

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Ladies should wear cocktail dresses, and gentlemen should wear a suit and tie or a sports coat. Please note that the ceremony will be outdoors on grass, so wear stilettos at your own risk.

Can I bring a date?

If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer it if it was just you.

Do you have a hotel block?

Yes! Please book at Westchester Marriot no later than August 25 using this link to receive a special celebration rate: https://www.marriott.com/events/start.mi?id=1621872293608&key=GRP If you have booked a room at the Westchester Marriot via points or any other method not through our block, please note we don't have you accounted for in the shuttle or extra hotel surprises. However, do not fret, we have allocated room knowing that people may prefer to book this way, so please just do us the favor and let us know you will be joining us so we make sure we include you in all of the festivities.

Is there a shuttle between the hotel and the ceremony?

Yes, a shuttle will be provided. Please note it will leave the Westchester Marriot for guests there at 3:30 pm sharp. It will leave CV Rich Mansion at 9:15 pm for returning guests.

Chicken? Fish? Beef? Vegetarian? How do I order my meal?

Hey, great news - our menu will be a delicious BBQ served buffet style. We've done our best to factor in the many allergies and dietary restrictions of our guests, so there will be something for everyone!

I'm a party animal and the reception just isn't enough! What else is going on?

You and us both, buddy! Please join us for a welcome dessert on Thursday evening or a special brunch on Saturday. Details on this and other activities to consider on your own found on the "Things to Do" page.. Please note that both events will be in a private room at the Westchester Marriot hotel. As this will be indoors, masks will be available and strongly encouraged when moving around inside.

Hey did you steal a bunch of these Q&A's from Lindsey's wedding page?

Yes.
