Where should I fly into?

Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) connects to most major airports. There is also a small airport, located even closer in Niagara Falls, the Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG).

Do I need to rent a car?

No! It's about a 30 minute Uber from the airport to the hotel, Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa, located in Lewiston, NY. Lewiston is a quaint village with great walkability. Many shops, restaurants, and bars line Center Street. For those who book a hotel in Niagara Falls, it is a similar 20-30 minute Uber ride from the airport. On the day of the wedding, we will be providing transportation to and from the venue, with pickup at Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa, and drop off locations at both Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa (Lewiston) and The Red Coach Inn (Niagara Falls). If you plan to do more exploring, you may consider renting a car but it won't be necessary for the events we have planned. The venue will have a large parking lot available with free parking on the day of the wedding.

What is the dress attire?

Cocktail attire is suggested. No need for a tuxedo or ball gown. Just come dressed your best!

Are children welcome?

Yes, bring all the babies!

How do I RSVP?

RSVPs will be sent out with formal invitations in the coming months. Upon receipt, we invite you to RSVP online here at theknot.com/mariaandpeter2024 under the "RSVP" tab on the top right of the webpage no later than August 1st (we have to give the venue our final headcount by then!)

How do we get to the venue?

The venue is about a 30 minute drive from Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa, and 35 minutes from Red Coach Inn. We will be providing a shuttle, picking up guests from Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa at 4:30 PM. The shuttle will also take guests back to their respective hotels throughout the night, with the last shuttle leaving at 11:30 PM. If you'd like to drive your own vehicle, the venue is located at 3724 Quaker Rd, Gasport, NY 14067. The wedding ceremony and reception will be held at the Vineyard Pavilion at Vizcarra Vineyard. We will have signage the day of to make sure you can find the location easily once you arrive.

What weather can we expect?

Lewiston in September is typically pretty mild. Average highs and lows are 72 degrees/54 degrees. The venue is open air but covered. We also have optional outdoor heaters available to us as the night gets chillier.

Food? Drinks?

We'll be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of entree. Open bar will last for five hours. We will also serve coffee, tea, soft drinks throughout the night, along with some late night snacks before we head home.

Where should we bring wedding gifts?

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, we've set up a honeymoon fund to continue our travels together. This can be found under the "registry" tab of the website, labeled "Honeyfund" at the bottom of the page. If you had something else in mind, you can browse our registry page. A wedding card box will be provided at the reception.

Will there be a time gap between the wedding ceremony and reception?

Help yourselves to cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and lawn games once the ceremony concludes. We will join you shortly afterwards for introductions, speeches, dinner and dancing!

Are photos allowed?

We ask that during the ceremony, guests unplug so that our professional wedding photographers and videographers can get the best possible shots without the interference of other flashes or mobile screens. After the ceremony, feel free to take photos and post with the hashtag #MorganAfeeling
