You can't tell our story without the Ithaca Farmers Market. The market is an open-air wooden pavilion on the shore of the Cayuga Lake inlet. Every weekend, it fills with local farm goods, crafters, seasonal flowers, wonderful people, and some of the best breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and bread in the Finger Lakes. The market is truly one of our favorite places in Ithaca, and we are so excited to start our married life together and celebrate with you all in this special place.

Long Weekend 

We're hijacking your labor day weekend. Make the most of the weekend by seeing the sights and doing the things. Waterfalls, parks, and gorges - Oh My! Jokes aside, Ithaca is one of our favorite places in the world. Long before we both decided to move back and eventually met each other, this was a special place for us both. We would love nothing more than to share a weekend with you here. Come for the wedding, stay for the food, the parks, the music, the art, and the people.
