There is no hotel room block because there are several hotels within walking distance of the wedding venue. There are also several options with AirBnB and VRBO within the greater downtown and suburban area. Stay wherever you'd like! Cody and Eric will be staying at The Inn on Broadway in downtown, Rochester.
There is no shuttle because of the proximity of many of the downtown hotels to the wedding venue. Uber and Lyft are very available in the greater downtown area and surrounding county.
Yes, there is a parking garage adjacent to the wedding venue that guests are welcome to use if you are driving to and from the wedding. You will be able to get your car out of this garage at the end of the night; however, you will not be able to get your car out of this garage on Sunday morning. The garage does not re-open until Monday morning.
We will gather informally on Friday night (April 5th) at The Daily Refresher from 7 PM to 9 PM for light appetizers and cocktails. There is no formal departure brunch on Sunday morning.
There will be no formal wedding party. As a symbol of family and friendship, those seated at the center "kings" style table during the reception are people who were chosen to be seated there by the grooms and a representative of the informal wedding party.
The grooms have elected to have The Silver Arrow Band play for the wedding. The band will play 5 sets of music throughout the night and will also play DJ style music during each break.
Black tie preferred.
