FAQs
Question
Will I need to get tested/vaccinated to attend the wedding?
Answer
Yes! While this is a bit cumbersome, it is for the safety of all in attendance. The state guidelines require that for all guests ages 2+, a COVID test be completed with a negative result received (PCR testing valid for 72 hours within the event; antigen testing valid for 6 hours within the event). Fully vaccinated (latest dose 2 weeks before the date) individuals will fulfill this requirement. A phone app for displaying your results is discussed in the next item.
Question
How do I show my negative test result/vaccination status to the venue?
Answer
You can provide your vaccination card, present paper negative results, or you can provide an electronic image of your vaccination card or test results displayed on your smartphone! For those administered a vaccine or test in NYS, an efficient method is to download the NY Excelsior Pass app and have it displayed on your smartphone. Please find information on the app here: https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/excelsior-pass-frequently-asked-questions Alternatively, other apps (MyChart and related apps) are also accepted for electronic display. Please keep in mind that before your admission, the venue will also be collecting contact tracing information from each guest, if you have not already provided it.
Question
Will everyone be required to wear a mask?
Answer
Yes. For all attendees, masks will be required except for when eating or seated at your table.
Question
What are the recommendations for vendors?
Answer
If you will be staying with us throughout the entire event, the above health precautions apply to you, as well. You will need to submit your information to us for the health department (name, address, date of birth, phone number, email address) and you also will need to obtain a negative test result (within 72 hours for PCR and within 6 hours for antigen) or have proof of vaccination (latest dose 2 weeks before the date) in order to access the venue. Thank you for your understanding!
Question
Is there a preference for submitting my RSVP?
Answer
