Question 1:  Which airport should I fly into to get to Ludlow, VT?

    Most folks may consider flying into Boston's Logan International Airport.  This would certainly be the most convenient should you wish to include a few days stay in Boston and the immediate environs.  Ludlow, VT is about a 2-1/2 hour car or train ride from Boston.

    However, for those who are coming direct for the wedding, we suggest you consider the airport in Manchester, NH. which is a modern and convenient airport only 2 hours drive to Ludlow.

    Although fewer airlines fly to Burlington, VT, this is another good alternate to Boston and Manchester.  Only 1-1/2 hours away from Ludlow.  This is the closest airport and would be a perfect point of arrival for folk wishing to enjoy the Green Mountains


Question 2:  Where should I stay?

The bridal party will be lodging at "The Castle" in Ludlow, VT.  All 10 rooms at The Castle have been reserved for the Bridal party only. 

A block of 40 rooms have been reserved at The Cavendish Point Hotel which is immediately adjacent to The Castle and is the most convenient for all the formal wedding activities.   The Cavendish is a 5 minute car ride from the center of Ludlow.

Twenty additional Rooms have been reserved at the Ludlow Colonial Motel which is owned by the Best Western Chain of Hotels.  This motel is in the center of Ludlow and walking distance from many conveniences. 

Ten rooms are available at the Okemo Lantern Lodge, which is walking distance from the wedding.  All rooms have been reserved for our wedding.  Please mention that you will be staying for our wedding when booking your rooms.

Question 3:  Where are you Registered?

We are registered at the following stores
Macy's

Williams - Sonoma

Crate and Barel

All registry items are accessable on-line.
Question 4:  What should I wear?  (What's the weather like?)
According to NOAA's weather station in Cavendish, VT (which is right next to the site of the ceremony, average temperatures for  late September over the last 20 years have been from a high in the mid 60s during the day to an average low in the mid 40s after midnight, in the early morning hours. 

Although the wedding reception will be held with-in a climate controled tent, outside air temperatures should linger in theupper 50s through most of the event.  However, the mountain air will may make it feel a bit crisper and a jacket or shawl may come in handy. 

The grounds of the Castle are well manicured, so walking around in dress shoes should be no problem.  However, if you wish to take advantage of the many great activities in the area, you should be sure to bring some good walking or hiking shoes.
 
 

Question 5:  We've noticed that the invitations says "Adult Reception to Follow"  we have kids, what should we do?
We hope all our guest shall be able to attend, and we would love to see your kids over the weekend.  However, The Castle requires that all children under the age of 12 mustbe supervised by an adult.  The Castle also requires that, if there are more than five (5) children under 12 years of age at the ceremony and reception, that a child care provider must be hired.

We strongly request that arangements be made to have them cared for during the reception. Several options are available.  Below is a list of child care providers available to parents at any point during their stay in Vermont and particularly for the time period of the wedding and reception. 

Children can be cared for either at the Cavaendish Pointe Hotel or at The Castle's Spa, both are just a few steps away from The Castle, site of the ceremony and reception.  This will allow parents the opportunity to check-in on their kids as often as they wish.

We also recommend that several families may wish to share in the expense of the child care as well as giving their child the opportunity to interact with the other children who may be visiting us in Vermont.  We can help put you in contact with other families, 

Just send us an e-mail.
