RSVP

Respond here by April 11th, please. If you have any questions, get in touch with us by email or text any time.

Accommodations

The whole weekend—including the ceremony and reception on Sunday—is at Caboose Farm, at 14754 Manahan Rd, Sabillasville, Maryland.

There's plenty of space to hang out, relax, and explore, and also enough space for everyone to sleep. We'll have the place to ourselves, including all seven houses. The bedrooms are private, with shared restrooms and common areas.

You don't need to do anything to book a room. If you have specific accessibility needs, or if you'd rather make your own arrangements off-site, you can let us know with your RSVP.

Transportation

The closest airport is BWI, about 75 miles away. We recommend renting a car to get from the airport to the venue. If you need a ride, or have an extra seat, we'll have a sign-up list to self-organize carpools—look for that in the next few days.

There's wifi throughout the venue, but cell service varies. AT&T or Verizon should have coverage, but others might not—and with any provider, you might lose signal during the drive. If you're relying on your phone for directions to the venue, make sure to download the whole route before you get started.

Our loved ones are spread out across the world, so we know this isn't an easy place for everyone to get to. If the cost of travel is an obstacle, we hope you'll get in touch with us—the weekend would be better with you there, and we'd like to help.

Events schedule

We'll have more details here as the weekend gets closer.

Big picture, plan to arrive Friday, May 23rd—we'll have a welcome dinner around 6:00 PM—and depart Monday, May 26th (Memorial Day) by our noon checkout time.

Friday evening is for meeting up and getting settled in, Saturday is for exploring and spending time together, Sunday we're getting married(!), and Monday morning is for brunch, packing up, and getting on the road.

If you can't make it for the whole time, that's completely okay—we still want to see you! Sunday is the main event.

Food

Meals are provided, from the welcome dinner on Friday through the farewell brunch on Monday. Let us know about any dietary restrictions when you RSVP.

Attire

For the ceremony and reception: If an excuse to dress up makes you feel more festive, we hope you will. If dressing casually makes you feel more at ease, we hope you'll do that. Either way, you won't be the only one. If you're considering high heels: The ceremony will be outdoors, with a short walk across a slightly-uneven grassy meadow to take your seat.

The rest of the time: We're spending all weekend together, with both indoor and outdoor activities available—please dress comfortably, don't feel obligated to wear Fancy Wedding Attire for four days straight. (Or, in honor of Ryn's history of wearing ballgowns in unlikely situations, knock yourself out!)

Plan for daytime temperatures in the 60s or low 70s, and nights in the 50s or so. A little rain is possible.

Covid plan

Some of our friends and family are immunocompromised or otherwise high-risk, and we don't want anyone else to get sick either. We'll let you know the specifics of the plan when we get closer to the date—it depends on how the situation changes between now and then.

As part of that plan, we'll be asking each person to take a rapid test once or twice each day (we'll supply the tests) and to share the results with us. It's a little inconvenient, but that way we'll all be able to gather safely.

If you won't be comfortable testing, please talk to us about it before arranging your travel.

Packing

Caboose Farm provides bed linens and towels. Beyond the basics, we'll have a suggested packing list posted here closer to the event.

Please don't bring a gift—we're already grateful that you're picking up and traveling to spend so much of your time with us! (Besides, we won't have much room to take anything home with us afterward.)
