Q + A

What is the dress code for the Meet & Greet Dinner & Wedding?

Austin and Jason invite their guests to wear what is comfortable to them! While typical party attire is encouraged, everyone should have on what they feel most comfortable in! Weather permitting, an approximately 30-minute ceremony will be outdoors. The proximity to the lake can create wind, so the grooms encourage guests to keep this in mind.

Will there be room Blocks?

Austin and Jason have secured two room blocks. One is located at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Geneva Finger Lakes. Reservations must be made by June 21 to guarantee a spot in the block. Another block has been organized at Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott. Reservations must be made by June 20 to guarantee a spot in the block. More information on room blocks is available under the Place to Stay tab of the website. The grooms also suggest Airbnb, which has great options in the area.

Are children welcome at the wedding and reception?

Jason and Austin request that no children under the age of 13 be present.
