96 Days To Go!

Where is the wedding?

The Bison City Rod and Gun Club; it's a private Club, where Colleen is a member. Most of her family are members and we fondly refer to it as "The Club." The Club is located at 511 Ohio Street, Buffalo, NY 14204.

Is there parking available?

Yes, there is parking at the Club and on the street. There are additional lots down the street at Riverfest Park. Uber is not a bad idea, either!

What should I wear?

This is NOT a black-tie affair; heck, it's not even a semi-formal cocktail party. Think pretty sundresses for the ladies and khakis and button down shirts for the gents... it's still a wedding for the love of God! Wear comfy shoes, we will be outside, inside, and potentially in the grass! Just please, we implore you, don't show up in cutoffs and a tank top!

Will there be assigned seating?

No. There will be plenty of seats to eat and take a load off when you like. But there will be cornhole boards, horseshoe pits, karaoke, dancing, photo ops, boats to wave at, friends to be made... who needs to sit unless you're eating?!?!

What date should I RSVP by?

July 26th. Otherwise, bring a chair and a sandwich.

Are there blocks of rooms at a nearby hotel?

Yes, at the Hilton Garden Inn located at 10 Lafayette Square; mention the Cunningham/Cole Wedding and code 3251968764. Buffalo has tons of hotel and Air B&B options.

Are we registered for gifts?

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! We are not registered, but if you would like to honor us with a gift, please send it to our house at 956 Abbott Road, Buffalo, NY 14220. A wedding card box will be at the wedding venue.

Is it ok to post wedding day photos on social media?

We don't care, just make sure the pics are flattering! Please upload any pictures that you take to the QR code on your wedding day itinerary.

What is the weather in late August in Buffalo?

It can be hot, humid, hazy, or rainy. We have rain plans, don't worry! The evenings can be a little chilly, but just keep dancing or bring a light sweater.

Are children allowed?

Unfortunately, due to the excessive size of the bride's family, only guests of 18 and older are invited. There will be one little groomsman, but he will be napping later. Mind your business.

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

We would like to keep the guests to those who know us well, and cannot go over a maximum number. If you have not been invited with a guest, and you are seeing someone special and you are dying for us to meet him/her/they, please give us a call and we can hopefully accommodate :)

Will there be open bar?

During Weenies and Martinis specialty cocktails are available. Open bar will be available after the ceremony until the end of the event. The main bar at the Club is always available if there is something that is not offered at the wedding bar. No shots. Buy them yourself.

Is there an after party?

We will stay at the Club as long as they stay open! Just remember, open bar ends at 11:00!

I'm from out of town. Will there be other events to attend the weekend of the wedding?

Out of town guests will be invited to the rehearsal dinner on Thursday evening at Duende. Be sure to pay attention when you RSVP! Friday, there will be a golf outing in the morning, most likely just 9 holes at the local course, depending on participants. Matt is in charge. Friday afternoon, go see Niagara Falls, the AKG, a Frank Lloyd Wright home, Buffalo City Hall, Delaware Park, or many of Buffalo's gems! Saturday is the wedding. On Sunday, out of town guests will be invited to Wings and Things in lieu of a traditional brunch, at the Blackthorn, located at 2134 Seneca Street, Buffalo, NY (the site of our first date!). Again, pay attention when you RSVP! Sunday after that, we may be too tired to entertain. If you would like to share the couch with us, let us know. Monday will be a golf outing in the Ellicottville area. The course is dependent on the number of participants. Matt is also in charge. Tuesday we have to go back to work!

Will you have a wedding hashtag?

No. we barely know what that means.

Will you be livestreaming your wedding?

No. We barely know how to post on Facebook. We like to keep things simple and in the moment. Feel free to Facetime with those who could not make it.

I have more questions, who should I contact?

Matt: (920)489-7598 Colleen: (716)830-3532 Please don't bother us the day of the wedding!!!!
