We will host a hospitality suite. You can stop through, say "hi" to folks. Step in from the rain. Grab a drink. People will flow in and out.

Location: Diamond Mills Efficiency Suite Diamond

This is attached to Krause's Chocolates. 1st Floor. So, it is essentially at the end of the Diamond Mills parking lot. If you cant find it, ask the front desk staff in the Diamond Mills hotel.

Opens at 3PM on Friday.

We will be providing free transportation on Saturday to and from the wedding site.

We will make 2 pickup runs from each host hotel. In order to get everyone to the wedding on-time, we need a bit of cooperation. It is still a holiday weekend and there will be some traffic.

We ask for folks who check in on Friday to please take the 1st shuttle pickup. This will allow the folks who don't check in until Saturday to have the opportunity to take a shuttle. If this doesn't happen, we may run out of seats.

Folks need to be ready to go and in the hotel lobby 10 minutes before pickup time so that the shuttles can leave on-time.

RIDES HOME

Shuttles will start drop off loops at 10:00 PM. The final shuttle will leave at 11:45PM. Anyone who wants to keep the party going can call car/cab service.

We entered into a contract with Shuttle Bug to provide cab service. If you need a ride while you are in Kingston or Saugerties for train/bus pickup or general transport, please call 845-707-0418. Use of these cab services throughout the weekend are at your own expense.

Note: We are providing shuttle service to and from the wedding on Saturday. Additional information can be found on the "Wedding Day Transportation" page.

If you are taking the train to Rhinecliff, the pickup rate is $35.00 for 2 people. $10.00 for each additional passenger. Please call ahead so that the cab is waiting.

Use other traditional, local cab companies at your own risk. Online ratings are extremely low.

Uber and Lyft just got approval on June 29th to operate in Upstate New York. Ulster County (Kingston and Saugerties) may have service but 1) we are not sure if they are staffed and 2) the drivers are not required to be fingerprinted.

The ceremony will take place outdoors on a balcony overlooking the Esopus River. If there is excessive heat or calls for rain, the area will be tented.

The cocktail and main receptions will take place indoors in the conference center ballroom.

Welcome Reception - Casual. Come as you are.

Wedding - The official wedding attire is cocktail. But at the end of the day, you have to "do you". If you want to be more formal, then go for it! How often do you get to dress up and have a night out?

There will be no walking on grass or gravel, so heels are a "go" if that is your thing.

Thank You Brunch - Casual. Come as you are.

Admittedly, I figured everyone would Google on their own to find stuff. :)

Tom curated some stuff to do. I am redirecting you to www.pittspower.com for that info.

Saugerties is a beautiful place, although not the easiest place to get to. This is essentially a destination wedding and we are grateful that you are making the trip.

Driving up here (either directly from your home or post-flight) is the easiest thing to do. If you want to carpool with folks who live near you, please get in touch with us and we will help connect you.

If you plan to drive, we trust that you will Google or Waze it to get the most up to date driving directions. Please use 25 S. Partition Street, Saugerties, NY 12477 as the reception site address.

Saugerties is approximately a 2 hours north of New York, NY.

This is a "holiday" weekend; therefore, you should assume your trip will take longer regardless of whether you travel on Friday or Saturday.

Note: Uber and Lyft ride sharing services do not operate in the local market.

We will not be providing transportation to these two events. We suggest that you carpool or take a cab. We are happy to connect you with others for the former and we provided cab contact information in the section titled as such for the latter.

SAFETY FIRST!

We will provide transportation from the two host hotels, i.e., the Courtyard Kingston and the Quality Inn Kingston. We may consider other stops along the way if it makes sense. Please contact us if you have a big group staying somewhere else and want to lobby us to add a stop.

The pickup schedule will be posted here in advance and will also be available at the host hotels.

We have also provided cab service contact information in the section titled as such.

SAFETY FIRST!

Note: There is ample parking on-site at Diamond Mills.
