Hello everyone, we are so beyond excited to have you all celebrate our wedding! The purpose of this letter is to answer any lingering questions and have all the important information in one place. Please feel free to reach out to either of us with any additional questions, we hope you find this information helpful and we cannot wait to see you all!

WELCOME EVENT:

The welcome gathering is on Friday 7/26 at a local restaurant called the Heritage Tavern in downtown Lenox. We have reserved the back patio for everyone to mingle before the big day.

The gathering will start at 7 and continue until the last call. The address is: 12 Housatonic St # 201, Lenox, MA 01240. Parking in downtown Lenox is fairly accessible, there are a few lots and ample street parking. The dress code is casual, whatever you are comfortable in! Feel free to have dinner beforehand or purchase food at the Tavern, it is a cash bar, and here is a link to the website so anyone with allergies/ intolerances can view the menu beforehand: https://theheritagetavern.com/. For reference, the tavern is a less than 10-minute walk from the wedding venue.

WEDDING CEREMONY:

The wedding ceremony will be taking place at St. Ann church in downtown Lenox. The address is 134 Main St, Lenox, MA 01240. The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:30 PM. There is a small parking lot on-site and street parking available. The church is a 10-minute walk from the wedding venue (The Kemble). The dress code is semi-formal.

Both cocktail hour and the reception will be held at the Kemble. The address is 2 Kemble Street, Lenox, MA 01240. The event will be held in the backyard of the Kemble. The reception will be under the tent in the backyard.

There is limited parking available on-site at the Kemble, however there is close street parking. We ask people to carpool when possible and highly recommend Ubering to the event as we have scheduled a shuttle service home.

The ceremony at the church should be done around 2:30 pm and guests are welcome to make their way over to the Kemble in the meantime. Cocktail hour will begin at 3:00 PM with hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. The reception will begin around 5:00 PM. Again, dress is semi-formal. Feel free to wear short sleeves as it will be hot!
