FAQs
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
There will be two shuttle busses that will leave Comfort Inn in Griswold promptly at 4:15 PM to make it to the ceremony. At the conclusion of the reception, the shuttle busses will be going back to the Comfort Inn.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
The shuttle bus will be provided from Comfort Inn in Griswold, which is 28 minutes away from the venue. There are other options such as La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Norwich-Plainfield (22 minutes), The Inn at Storrs (15 minutes), The Graduate (20 minutes), and Quality Inn Plainfield (22 minutes), but we will not be providing transportation from those locations. In addition, the Comfort Inn in Griswold provides a shuttle bus to Mohegan Sun.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There is a big parking lot for those that are choosing to drive rather than taking the shuttle. There will be parking attendants to assist you. Please note that the parking lot is gravel.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
It is extremely important to RSVP electronically by Friday, March 8th, 2024. Our venue requires a head count and meals count a month prior to our wedding. More information can be found on the “RSVP” tab of this website.
Question
Can I bring a date/ my kids?
Answer
Unfortunately due to space constraints, we are unable to accommodate extra dates or children at our wedding. We appreciate your understanding. Please reach out if you are unclear on who your invitation is addressed to.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
For those staying at the Comfort Inn in Griswold, there is a farewell brunch Saturday morning at 10 AM. Additionally, we are continuing the fun into Saturday night at Mohegan Sun! We have a small hotel block for the Saturday night at the Comfort Inn (which provides a free shuttle to and from Mohegan Sun). If you would like to join us, we will be a Avalon in Mohegan Sun around 10 PM. All (21 and older) are welcome!
Question
What should I wear to the Day After party?
Answer
Avalon does have a dress code. This is directly from their website: Dress to impress! Dress shoes and collared shirts preferred. No athletic wear, sneakers, boots, shorts or hats. Remember, if you are unsure, black is eternally chic.
