Our Wedding

It all began at George O'Dea’s on Tipp Hill in June 2019 where Leslie and Gavin were introduced by their mutual friend Ben. Over the next few months, they spent countless evenings at O'Dea's and Leslie would frequent all of Gavin's gig's around town. Nine months later, the world changed—COVID hit, and everything shut down. But amidst the uncertainty, Leslie and Gavin grew even closer, spending most of their days together at Gavin’s apartment on Fellows. They filled their time with walks and bike rides through the Westcott neighborhood, and watching the entire Sopranos series. Now, years later, the couple lives happily ever after in their little cape home with their beloved Artie. They love traveling, discovering new places to eat, and most recently—playing golf together. And yes, Leslie still makes it to most of Gavin’s gigs around town. Sadly, Odea's closed permanently with the pandemic shut down, but the party lives on in our hearts.

We reserved a limited number of cabins 5 miles from the venue at Single Island Shores. There is a 2 night minimum stay. (Gavin and I will be staying Friday-Monday!) There are 1 bedroom (sleeps up to 4), 2 bedroom (sleeps up to 6), both styles have a sleeper sofa in the living area. You can find more information on the cabins and pictures on the website. There's also many Air B&amp;B's, VRBO's, and Bed and Breakfasts in the area. The closest large hotels will be in Watkins Glen (20 min South), or Geneva (35 min North).
