Attire & Weather
Wedding Attire
Cocktail casual, tie optional. Please note that our ceremony and reception will be held outdoors and on grass. We encourage you to wear whatever footwear you find agreeable.
Weather
Handsome Hollow is typically a little cooler than NYC (historical mean of 72°),
but it’s still the humid east coast in the middle of Summer so
dressing lighter is encouraged. Here is a link to weather in the area.
Thursday
3–7 PM
Hanging at Villa Roma
Loren will be hanging around Villa Roma either bowling, playing volleyball, or getting kicked off the go-cart track for reckless driving. There are a ton of activities, but everything is first come first serve so we’ll have to see what’s available. Feel free to call him to coordinate meeting up: 949 338 4373.

Pizza at Tavern on Main’s
outdoor Biergarten
We’ve reserved the outdoor space at Tavern on Main in Jeffersonville (5 min from Villa Roma) for a little pizza party. There will be a cash bar, and the option to order from their menu if you’re not feeling pizza.
River Float

The Family that Floats Together
Late morning / early afternoon, we’ll all float the Delaware River in inner tubes! Transportation, inner-tubes, bagels, coffee, snacks & booze provided. It’s a casual float, with very small “rapids” but “not suitable for children under 65 lbs.” There will be alcohol on the river, so we suggest staying in Upstate NY again on Sunday night (after the float) and fly out Monday.
