Happily! We are situated in a tiny rural village called Charlotte. (Rhymes with Car Lot. Thank you, French Canadians) Nestled between the Adirondacks and the green mountains, 5 minutes east of lake Champlain. We’re on a beautiful 5 acre plot that abuts 40 acres of undeveloped land that you’re welcome to roam. There’s no municipal water system, no gas station, and no taxi/Uber service. We have a delightful little corner store for last minute things, but everything else is a 7 minute drive away.

There will be parking! We’ll have a designated space on the property, and on a neighboring property. We’ll send specifics once we have a read on RSVPs, and how many cars we’re expecting.

We’ll have an open bar until the dancing starts, and a cheap cash bar thereafter. Stuff your pockets with gobs of dosh, you maniac.

There’s a wonderful swimming pool! It’s 20x40 and it’s heated to 82 degrees. We’ll have a trained lifeguard for the daytime portion of the wedding, just in case. Please bring suits and towels, and please remember that there will be 160 folks here, and the pool only fits about 20.

We are the proud custodians of a bat population here. If you have a strong aversion to bats, please stay away from the big barn during “The Battening”, which begins every day at around dusk and lasts about an hour. We love our bats. The local bat population has decreased by 90% in the last 5 years, largely due to White nose disease. They are not rabid. They do not fly into your hair. They are more adept navigators than any navy pilot, and they just want to eat bugs for an hour before they go back to sleep. They eat thousands of insects who WILL fly into you and cause general discomfort and low-key mayhem. Viva la bat!

Please use the fancy toilet trailers we’ve rented, as our septic system wasn’t designed for more than 2 families. The trailers sport porcelain flush toilets, and sinks in each bathroom. A classic “honey wagon” for those of you with your sag card😛

Indeed! We plan to have a shuttle running to and from Burlington and points in between. We also hope to compile a list of drivers, so people can coordinate ride shares if they like.

We absolutely demand that people wear anything and everything that makes them feel most festive and foxy (and comfy). Feathers and fringe, bananas and bottle caps. Pajamas. Your astronaut suit. Evening gowns & opera gloves, tutus and combat boots, polka dotted undies and high socks, soccer uniforms, Kale… anything anything anything - just so it’s fun, summer colors are a plus. Kids are encouraged to dig through the costume closet - PARENTS: please, please, pretty please let your kids pick therir own outfits and support their decisions. Don't worry if what they choose is not traditional wedding attire. We have one brilliant little wedding guest who has decided to come as Jacob Marley. We are in full support of this. But be sure to bring shoes that work on soft ground, grass and gravel!

Yes, you need bug spray and sunscreen
